CFTC Revives Polymarket Probe as VPN Insider Case Heads to Trial: Reuters

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission is again examining whether Polymarket broke its 2022 promise to keep Americans off its offshore platform, Reuters reported. The report landed a day after a federal judge refused to dismiss charges against a soldier accused of reaching that platform through a VPN to bet on the Maduro raid. The CFTC is investigating whether prediction market operator Polymarket violated a 2022 enforcement deal in which it promised to ban U.S. users from its main overseas platform , Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing two people familiar with the matter. The inquiry revives one the agency closed last year without bringing charges, and sits inside a broader investigation the CFTC opened into the company earlier this year.
