The regulatory arbitrage game in the prediction market is reshaping the entire industry landscape.
Coinbase's acquisition of the Clearing Company is not just for the DCO license, but also for the native stablecoin clearing infrastructure. Meanwhile, Polymarket's acquisition of QCEX to enter the US market is effectively operating two completely independent liquidity systems.
The most interesting is the price difference arbitrage opportunity—when you control both on-chain and traditional infrastructure simultaneously, the profit from arbitrage is more attractive than market making.
The logic behind the CFTC's open green light is clear: to let derivatives regulation engulf state-level gambling regulation.
