Polymarket is facing renewed Commodity Futures Trading Commission scrutiny over whether it complied with access restrictions required under its January 2022 settlement, crypto.news reported on October 27, 2026. The regulatory review focuses on the platform's location controls, domestic marketing, and onboarding practices designed to prevent United States retail traders from using its offshore service, according to sources familiar with the matter cited by the publication.
