## Extending Evidence
**Source:** Bloomberg/CoinDesk April 28, 2026
Polymarket's November 2025 CFTC approval via QCEX acquisition resulted in limited US platform activity (sports markets only) despite full DCM registration. April 2026 perps launch with 10x leverage and Bloomberg report of seeking main exchange approval ($10B+ monthly volume) shows DCM registration is necessary but not sufficient for volume. Main exchange remains blocked for US users despite having regulatory approval for a separate US platform, demonstrating that compliance infrastructure alone does not guarantee market access or adoption.

## Extending Evidence
**Source:** Fortune April 21, 2026 via Bloomberg synthesis
Fortune (April 21, 2026) reports Polymarket is being valued at a discount to Kalshi because of its crypto ties and operational stumbles, with Kalshi pulling ahead operationally. This valuation gap persists despite Polymarket's $10B+ monthly volume on its international exchange versus Kalshi's lower volume, suggesting market participants price regulatory clarity and operational execution above raw volume metrics. The crypto-native architecture (Polygon-based smart contracts) that enables Polymarket's volume is simultaneously the source of CFTC caution about US re-entry.
