The decentralized prediction market platform Polymarket blocks users from the French market
On November 22, the decentralized prediction market platform Polymarket announced a temporary suspension of access for French users. This move comes several weeks after the French National Gaming Authority (ANJ) launched a gambling compliance investigation into the platform. Reportedly, this investigation originated from a large bet made by a French trader on the platform regarding Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Although Polymarket has implemented IP blocking, according to The Big Whale, a French cryptocurrency news website, users can still access the platform via VPN. As of press time, Polymarket's terms of service have not yet been updated with related restrictions. (CoinDesk)
