New data from blockchain analytics firm Allium suggests that users in the United States are bypassing geoblocks to participate in markets on Polymarket’s global platform. The report indicates that US-based activity remains significant even though the service is restricted for those users.
New data from blockchain analytics firm Allium suggests that users in the United States are bypassing geoblocks to participate in markets on Polymarket’s global platform. The report indicates that US-based activity remains significant even though the service is restricted for those users.
The development matters because it points to the difficulty of enforcing geographic access limits on crypto-based platforms. For readers and market participants, it also highlights how prediction markets can continue attracting demand across borders, even when formal restrictions are in place.
Polymarket operates as a global prediction market, and the report’s findings add to broader discussion about how such platforms manage compliance and user access. The data also underscores the role of analytics firms in tracking onchain behavior that may not be visible through conventional website controls.
While the report suggests US users are still participating, it does not by itself explain how many are doing so or what methods they are using. It does, however, reinforce that geoblocking alone may not fully determine where crypto platform activity originates.
