Foresight News reports that the Polymarket prediction “Will Polymarket US launch in 2025?” has sparked controversy. According to the rules, if real-money trading is publicly executed on a regulated designated contract market (DCM) operated by Polymarket before 11:59 PM ET on December 31, 2025, the market will be resolved as “Yes.” Otherwise, it will be resolved as “No.” Opponents in the community argue that Polymarket US is limited to invite-only or waitlist users, rather than a general public launch. They claim the “public” criterion has not been met, staff have implied that it is not actually live, the US remains restricted in the terms of service, and legal language suggests that an invite-only model should not qualify. The prediction market is currently in its final review stage.
