ME News Report, April 5th (UTC+8), Polymarket announced that due to non-compliance with integrity standards, the platform has immediately taken down the prediction market page related to U.S. military rescue operations in Iran. Previously, U.S. Representative Seth Moulton publicly criticized the prediction market as offensive, because it allowed users to bet on the rescue date of pilots who went missing after their F-15E fighter jet was shot down. Polymarket responded that the market should not have been published, and is currently investigating the failure of internal security mechanisms, emphasizing that the platform did not profit from or charge fees on geopolitical markets. Seth Moulton called for the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to intervene and regulate, pointing out that the platform poses national security risks. (Source: ODAILY)
