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 updates, on 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 a U.S. military rescue operation in Iran. Previously, U.S. Representative Seth Moulton publicly criticized the prediction market as offensive, because it allows users to place bets on the rescue date of the pilot who disappeared after an F-15E fighter was shot down by the U.S. military. Polymarket responded that the market should not have been published, that it is investigating why internal security mechanisms failed, and emphasized that the platform has not profited from geopolitics markets or charged fees. Seth Moulton urged the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to step in for regulatory oversight and pointed out that the relevant platforms pose national security risks. (Source: ODAILY)
