Crypto World News reports that, according to Coinpaper, two Polymarket accounts are under scrutiny for allegedly reportedly earning about $37,000 in the Paris weather prediction market. Market outcomes were influenced by a brief spike in temperature: one market settled after the temperature exceeded 21°C, while the other settled after the temperature jumped from 18°C to 22°C. Blockchain analytics firm Bubblemaps said that a trader did not buy any shares before the second temperature spike but profited more than $21,000 from the “18°C” outcome. Analysts have questioned whether these results were influenced by suspicious fluctuations in official weather data. The French meteorological agency Météo France has filed a complaint over alleged tampering with automated data systems related to weather stations.
