Polymarket US: the version Americans are actually allowed to use

Data: official Kalshi settlements

For years, "Polymarket" in the US meant reading about a market you couldn't legally touch: the global, crypto-settled site restricts US users. Polymarket US is the regulated answer — built on QCX, a CFTC-regulated exchange Polymarket acquired — with its own app, dollar funding, identity checks and a market list that follows US rules. "Polymarket US" is now one of the most-searched related terms in the category, mostly by people trying to figure out which of the two products they're even looking at.

Fees on the US product

The US fee schedule applies a taker fee of 0.0695 × P × (1−P) per contract — the same curve shape as Kalshi's, peaking near 50¢ and shrinking toward the extremes. It is near-identical economics to Kalshi (a deliberate competitive choice), so venue choice for a US trader comes down to catalog, settlement rules and interface, not a fee bargain. Full side-by-side: Kalshi vs Polymarket.

Why we watch it closely

Our signals were built on the 15-minute crypto windows, and the US arm brought those same windows to American users inside a regulated product — with its own market rules. Read each market's stated settlement source in the app before trading a signal there: as the comparison page explains, near-tie windows can settle differently across venues, and a public record is only meaningful against one referee at a time. Ours is published, free, in our statistics.

Short answers

What is Polymarket US?

Polymarket's regulated product for US residents: after acquiring the CFTC-regulated exchange QCX, Polymarket relaunched for Americans as its own app and market list, in US dollars with identity verification — separate from the global crypto-settled site, which remains restricted in the US.

Does Polymarket US have 15-minute markets?

Yes — its Up/Down market line launched with 15-minute BTC windows in September 2025 and added ETH, SOL and XRP. Check the current app listing; the US catalog is shorter and changes faster than the global one.

What are Polymarket US fees on 15-minute markets?

The US fee schedule lists a taker fee of 0.0695 × P × (1−P) per contract — the same shape as Kalshi's curve, a slightly different coefficient. Fees and schedules can change; confirm in the app's fee page before trading.
