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 News, April 5 (UTC+8), Polymarket said that because it does not meet integrity standards, the platform has immediately taken down the prediction market page related to U.S. military rescue operations in Iran. Previously, U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton publicly criticized the prediction market as objectionable, because it allows users to bet on the date when a pilot—who went missing after a U.S. Air Force F-15E fighter jet was shot down—will be rescued. Polymarket responded that the market should not have been published; it is currently investigating the reasons why 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 to regulate and pointed out that the relevant platforms pose national security risks. (Source: ODAILY)
