South Korea has begun investigating Polymarket, which is not really surprising.

The Korea Communications Standards Commission has officially reviewed Polymarket, focusing on whether the prediction markets on the platform involve illegal gambling and whether they violate local laws.
This also indicates one thing: prediction markets are truly entering the regulatory spotlight.
Many people see it as a new on-chain gameplay, but fundamentally, prediction markets are quite different from traditional DeFi.
Its core is betting on future outcomes, which naturally makes it easy to touch on gambling regulations.
Especially for topics like elections, sports, and economic events, which are inherently highly sensitive areas.
Of course, prediction markets will not disappear in the future. Because they can quickly reflect market sentiment and public expectations.
But as more users and funds come in, regulatory intervention is almost inevitable.
This investigation by South Korea may just be the beginning.
