Polymarket has delisted prediction markets related to U.S. military rescue operations 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, April 5 (UTC+8). Polymarket said the platform has immediately taken down a prediction market page related to U.S. military rescue operations in Iran because it did not meet integrity standards. Previously, U.S. Representative Seth Moulton publicly criticized the prediction market as offensive, as it allowed users to place bets on the date when a rescued pilot—missing after U.S. F-15E fighter jets were shot down—would be recovered. Polymarket responded that the market should not have been published, and it is currently investigating the cause of internal security mechanism failures. It also emphasized 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 step in to regulate, and pointed out that the relevant platform poses national security risks. (Source: ODAILY)
