Polymarket Seeks U.S. Approval for Margin-Based Trading
Polymarket is seeking approval to allow customers in the United States to take trading positions that are not fully collateralized.
The application would introduce a form of margin-based trading, enabling users to open positions without providing the full value of the trade upfront.
Polymarket’s request follows authorization granted to rival prediction market platform Kalshi in March.
The application indicates that competition between U.S. prediction market platforms is expanding beyond fully collateralized trading structures.
Approval has not yet been confirmed for Polymarket, and the submitted application represents a request rather than an active product launch.
The development was originally reported by CoinDesk on July 10, 2026.
