The U.S. Department of Justice has officially ended its investigation into Polymarket, a decentralized crypto-based prediction platform known for letting users wager on real-world events using stablecoins. While details remain limited, insiders say Polymarket cooperated extensively with regulators and made significant compliance upgrades since the probe began. The DOJ’s decision to close the case signals a possible softening stance toward certain blockchain-based financial tools—especially those that align with U.S. legal frameworks. This development could open the door for other Web3 betting and prediction protocols to gain legitimacy in the U.S. market without facing immediate regulatory shutdowns.
