Decentralized prediction market platform Polymarket blocks French market users

Odaily Planet Daily News: Decentralized prediction market platform Polymarket announced the suspension of French users' access to its platform. This move occurred several weeks after the French National Gaming Authority (ANJ) launched a gambling compliance investigation into the platform. It is reported that this investigation originated from a French trader making a large bet on Trump's victory in the 2024 US presidential election on the platform. Although Polymarket has implemented IP bans, according to the French cryptocurrency news website The Big Whale, users can still access the platform through VPN. As of the time of writing, the Polymarket Terms of Service have not been updated with relevant restrictions. （ CoinDesk）
