Polymarket
Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market by its own description — and it is really two venues under one brand: an international crypto exchange settling in USDC-backed pUSD on Polygon with UMA oracle resolution, and Polymarket US, a CFTC-designated contract market (QCX LLC) that relaunched US trading in December 2025 with USD accounts and rule-based settlement. Neither venue sells investments: every contract is a priced position against another trader. Between the $1.64 billion ICE has invested, an active CFTC probe opened in June 2026, a Nevada restraining order, and the same state-law war Kalshi is fighting, understanding which Polymarket you are using — and what each one's rules actually say — matters more here than on any platform AltStreet covers.
