Foresight News reported that the prediction on Polymarket, "Will Polymarket US go live in 2025?", has sparked controversy. According to the rules, if by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on December 31, 2025, a real-money transaction is publicly executed on a regulated designated contract market (DCM) operated by Polymarket, the market outcome will be determined as "Yes". Otherwise, it will be determined as "No". Opposing community members argue that Polymarket US is only available by invitation or waitlist, rather than being generally open to the public. The requirement for "public" access has not been met, staff have implied it is not live, the US remains restricted in the terms of service, and legal language suggests that an invitation-only model should not qualify. This prediction event is currently in the final review stage.
