Polymarket, a prominent on-chain prediction platform, is launching its application for the US market, with initial access granted through a waiting list. The platform will commence with sports-related prediction markets.
The app distribution signifies Polymarket's return to the US market following its engagement with US regulators in 2022. As previously outlined, the rollout will be implemented gradually, beginning with a limited beta version accessible via a waiting list. Users interested in participating in this expansion phase are required to download the currently available Polymarket app.
Against all odds.

The app has been released on the Apple Store, with an Android version anticipated soon. The competitive nature of the waiting list has led to a significant number of downloads, and the app has garnered a 4.9-star rating from 29,000 reviews.
Polymarket has maintained a high level of activity, recording record trading volumes in October. The platform continues to attract global users through its on-chain prediction services. However, markets focused on current events will be introduced at a later stage. The US-based launch will initially feature a limited selection of predictions related to sports events.
User Growth in November
In the past month, Polymarket nearly replicated its October performance, attracting over 377,000 new accounts. This follows an expansion of 400,000 new accounts in October.
The platform recorded 494,000 monthly active traders in October and anticipates similar engagement in the coming months. Polymarket experienced rapid growth following the announcement of its upcoming ICO. Key drivers of its increasing popularity included strategic wallet and social media partnerships.
Daily trading volumes also demonstrate a consistent upward trend, frequently reaching approximately $130 million per day.
Polymarket continues to hold its position as a leading on-chain prediction market, despite the emergence of new competing platforms.
Prediction Pair Resolution Post-Launch
The launch of the app's waiting list has had an impact on the prediction market related to Polymarket's US launch.
Hours after the launch announcement, the prediction pair had not yet been resolved. The 'yes' token was trading at $0.992, but trading had not officially closed. The outcome had been disputed twice following a 'yes' proposal and entered the final settlement process, which was projected to take several hours. The pair saw significant activity, with total volumes exceeding $19 million.
The resolution of this pair is currently not considered valid, as Polymarket announced a waiting list-based launch. Discussions have also highlighted that Polymarket will only consider a launch official after it begins accepting real money for trading resolution tokens. Based on these criteria, the pair may still resolve to 'No,' potentially leading to a significant drop in the 'yes' token's value.
The prediction pair's resolution also depended on the consensus of the UMA protocol, which has previously managed contentious issues. Polymarket occasionally encounters situations where prediction pairs are not clearly resolvable, resulting in extended discussions and reliance on the UMA voting mechanism.
