Polymarket, a decentralized prediction market platform, has announced the acquisition of cryptocurrency exchange Qcex for a reported $112 million. This acquisition marks a strategic return for Polymarket to the United States market after previously facing regulatory challenges. Polymarket enables users to predict the outcomes of various events, ranging from political elections to sporting events, using cryptocurrency.

Polymarket stated they anticipate launching their newly compliant platform in the coming months. Analysts believe this move reflects Polymarket’s commitment to global expansion and solidifying its position in the decentralized prediction market space. This acquisition is expected to increase competition in the cryptocurrency and prediction market sectors, ultimately benefiting users.
