Polymarket has delisted the prediction market related to the U.S. military rescue operation in Iran due to non-compliance with integrity standards. Some members of Congress criticized the market as inappropriate, calling for regulation and pointing out potential national security risks. The platform is investigating the cause of the issue and emphasizes that it has not profited from it.

ME News message, April 5 (UTC+8). Polymarket stated that, due to not meeting integrity standards, the platform has immediately taken down the prediction market page related to the U.S. military’s rescue operation in Iran. Earlier, U.S. Representative Seth Moulton publicly criticized the prediction market as obnoxious, because it allowed users to place bets on the date when a missing pilot would be recovered after an F-15E fighter jet of the U.S. military was shot down. Polymarket responded that this market should not have been published; it is now investigating the reasons why an internal security mechanism failed, and emphasized that the platform has not profited or charged fees from geopolitical markets. Seth Moulton called on the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to step in for oversight and pointed out that the relevant platforms pose national security risks. (Source: ODAILY)
