Parent Polymarket Inc.

Privately held prediction-market company. Not a traditional bookmaker: users trade event contracts with each other rather than betting against a house book.

Founded in 2020 by Shayne Coplan as a crypto-settled prediction market. The CFTC charged Polymarket in 2022 for offering off-exchange event contracts; the company paid a $1.4m penalty and shut US-person access. In 2025–26 it moved toward a federally supervised US product after acquiring a CFTC-regulated venue, while the international site remains a separate product.
