Sign InPolymarket, the leading prediction market now valued at $20 billion, has launched its largest infrastructure overhaul to date, introducing Polymarket USD as a native collateral token. This transition to CTF Exchange V2 marks a strategic shift from a retail-focused prediction market into a professional-grade trading venue. The technical upgrades are specifically tied to an intensifying push for regulatory compliance within the United States as the platform prepares for expansion. The new stablecoin is backed 1:1 by USDC, replacing the previous bridged USDC.e to enhance security and reliability. The rollout, which began on April 6, 2026, involves rebuilding the order book and optimizing smart contracts to boost liquidity and matching speeds. During the two-to-three-week transition period, existing order books will close temporarily to facilitate the technical migration and support for smart contract wallets.
