ME News message, on April 5 (UTC+8), Polymarket stated that, because it did not meet integrity standards, the platform has immediately taken down the prediction market page related to a U.S. military rescue operation in Iran. Previously, U.S. Congressman Seth Moulton publicly criticized the prediction market as offensive, because it allowed users to place bets on the date when a missing pilot would be rescued after a U.S. Air Force F-15E fighter was shot down. Polymarket responded that the market should not have been published; it is currently investigating why its internal security mechanisms failed, and emphasized that the platform has not profited from geopolitical markets or charged fees. Seth Moulton called on the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to step in with regulation and pointed out that the relevant platform poses national security risks. (Source: ODAILY)
