Polymarket Acquires CFTC-Licensed Exchange and Clearinghouse QCEX for $112 Million

Polymarket, the world’s largest prediction market, announced that it has closed an acquisition of the holding company of a Commodity Futures Trading Commission-licensed derivatives exchange (QCX LLC) and clearinghouse (QC Clearing LLC) (collectively QCEX) for $112 million. The transaction marks a significant step toward expanding access to Polymarket’s category-defining platform in the US, enabling more users than ever to trade prediction market contracts with regulatory clarity and confidence.
“Polymarket is the largest prediction market globally and has become synonymous with understanding the probability of current events. Demand is greater than ever — not just in user growth and trading volume, but in how mainstream audiences are turning to Polymarket to separate signal from noise, bias, and speculation. Now, with the acquisition of QCEX, we are laying the foundation to bring Polymarket home — re-entering the US as a fully regulated and compliant platform that will allow Americans to trade their opinions,” said Shayne Coplan, Founder and CEO of Polymarket.
“When we began the process to obtain our DCM & DCO licenses over 4 years ago, the prediction market was in its infancy. But we have long believed in its potential to change the way people access and understand information and express their views on that information. Shayne has built a cultural phenomenon in Polymarket. I am excited to bring our companies together and leverage our licenses, technology, and expertise in the retail trading sector to help Polymarket reach its full potential,” said Sergei Dobrovolskii, Founder of QCEX.
Polymarket has continued to build significant momentum as the world’s largest prediction market and a trusted source of real-time information. In the first half of 2025 alone, users have already made about $6 billion in predictions on the platform. Most recently, Polymarket announced an official partnership with 𝕏, further solidifying its position at the intersection of politics, markets, and culture.
The acquisition of the QCEX entities paves the way for U.S. users to access Polymarket in the near future within a fully regulated, US-compliant framework. As prediction markets continue to gain mainstream relevance, Polymarket remains the go-to platform for understanding what the world is thinking — and where it’s headed.
