About Polymarket US
As a CFTC-regulated Designated Contract Market (DCM), Polymarket US operates a regulated exchange where participants can trade on the outcomes of real-world events. Participants can buy positions on whether discrete, real-world events will occur or not. Our exchange covers a wide and growing range of topics, from sports to politics.
Event Contracts
Polymarket US event contracts give people the ability to trade based on their views. If you have a well-researched opinion on an upcoming election or NBA game, you can take a position and drive informed price discovery. Event contracts let you hedge relevant risks, capitalize on your research, and participate in markets that reflect real-world outcomes.
The price that a given contract trades at reflects the market's collective assessment of the probability that the event will happen. Historically, these market-implied probabilities have served as powerful and reliable predictors of real-world outcomes.
