Polymarket US has filed with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to list Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana price contracts for trading in the United States. This comes as the prediction market acquired QCEX to re-enter the US.

Polymarket US Plans to Launch Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana Price Contracts

According to filings with the US CFTC, QCEX has self-certified a new set of crypto price event contracts under the federal regulations. QCEX, operating at Polymarket US, plans to list Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana price contracts on the platform.

This clears the path for Polymarket US to list the contracts as soon as August 28. The move is a self-certification, not a formal CFTC product approval. The agency can still review or stay the contracts before they go live.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana products are event contracts tied to crypto prices, not leveraged perpetual futures. Traders would take positions on whether Bitcoin, Ethereum or Solana price will trade above, below, or within a stated level at a given time.

These are binary options contracts and Polymarket users are required to bet ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ on event contracts such as “Will the value of Bitcoin be above $95,000.00 at 2:30 PM ET on August 31, 2026.” Ethereum and Solana filings follow the same structure.
