Polymarket US drew 98.2% of monthly turnover from sports bets

  • —US face-value turnover reached $13.7 billion, with sports supplying $13.5 billion
  • —Turnover rose 78% from the prior 30-day window
  • —CFTC is reviewing compliance with the 2022 offshore-access settlement
  • —CFTC sued Utah, expanding its jurisdiction fight to ten states
Why it matters: The sports-heavy mix leaves Polymarket's US expansion exposed to court rulings on whether event contracts fall under federal or state oversight.
