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 update: On April 5 (UTC+8), Polymarket said that, because it did not meet integrity standards, the platform has immediately taken down the prediction market page related to the U.S. military rescue operation in Iran. Previously, U.S. Representative Seth Moulton publicly criticized the prediction market as distasteful, as it allowed users to place bets on the date when a missing pilot would be rescued after an American military F-15E fighter jet was shot down and went missing. Polymarket responded that the market should not have been published, saying it is investigating the reason its internal security mechanism failed, and emphasizing that the platform has not profited from or charged fees for geopolitical markets. Seth Moulton called on the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to step in to regulate it, and pointed out that the relevant platform poses national security risks. (Source: ODAILY)
