Very confusing. Polymarket doesn't allow US use/users. How are folks in the US participating on Polymarket? (VPNs and the like reportedly don't help either due to KYC policies.)

Cryptocurrency. Even if it is a traceable crypto like usdt, it doesn't seem to be enforced.

Polymarket has been live in the US since the beginning of the year. There is a queue but it’s absolutely live. And before that you could still use it so long as you did not use a VPN.

Same way Binance did [1]. Assuming they wouldn’t get charged.

Idk if there is new KYC I dont know about, but you just needed a VPN.
