The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is once again investigating the prediction market platform Polymarket to determine whether it has violated the 2022 settlement agreement, focusing on whether it has taken adequate measures to prevent U.S. users from accessing the main overseas platform. This review is part of a broader investigation initiated by the CFTC earlier this year, involving user geographic location identification mechanisms, advertising activities in the U.S. market, as well as the customer account opening processes and protective measures of U.S. platforms.According to the 2022 settlement agreement, Polymarket agreed to cease providing services to U.S. users. In 2024, the CFTC and the U.S. Department of Justice conducted investigations, which concluded in 2025 without any charges being filed; thereafter, Polymarket gradually returned to the U.S. market through the acquisition of a licensed derivatives exchange. Polymarket previously stated that it has strengthened geographic restrictions, prohibiting circumvention through methods such as VPNs, and established monitoring mechanisms. There is currently no information indicating that the CFTC has filed formal charges regarding this investigation.

The prediction market platform Polymarket announced the addition of 5-minute cryptocurrency contracts in the U.S. version of the app. This feature initially supports BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP markets.Contract prices use pricing data from CF Benchmarks.

According to NPR, the prediction market platform Polymarket has launched an investigation into dozens of bets related to the U.S. midterm elections on November 3, focusing on potential insider trading and market manipulation. Sources say that at least two cases have been submitted to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).Shana Bautista, Polymarket's Global Intelligence and Investigations Director, stated that the company has formed a 16-person team and deployed a new election trading monitoring system that generates hundreds of risk alerts daily. The monitoring scope includes U.S. compliant platforms that require identity verification, as well as international platforms that allow anonymous cryptocurrency trading.The system integrates analysis of social media, data from the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC), cryptocurrency trading records, information from banking partners, and statistical models to identify abnormal accounts and trading patterns.

According to monitoring by Arkham, the address marked as the Polygon multi-signature wallet "0xFA5" has transferred a total of 52,928,000 POL to the staking contract address, valued at approximately 4.82 million USD.Market analysis suggests that the recent increase in Polygon staking activities is related to the rise in APY, which may also provide some support for POL and alleviate its downward price pressure.

According to Dune data, the nominal trading volume of cryptocurrency-related event contracts on Kalshi and Polymarket reached $2.7 billion last week, setting a new historical high. Among them, Bitcoin short-term fluctuation contracts were particularly active, with Kalshi's 15-minute Bitcoin price prediction contracts seeing single transaction volumes exceeding $1 million. Some traders even used trading bots to seize opportunities just seconds before the contracts expired.Currently, cryptocurrency has become the second largest trading category on the two platforms, second only to sports. Cryptocurrency trading platforms such as Coinbase, Crypto.com, Gemini, and Kraken are expanding their businesses by applying for relevant licenses or collaborating with prediction markets. Meanwhile, the decline in spot trading volume on centralized exchanges has also prompted crypto platforms to seek business diversification. However, as multiple states in the U.S. have raised legal challenges against sports prediction contracts, the direction of related regulations may also impact industry development.

According to the New York Post, citing informed sources, Matthew Modabber, who has served as the Chief Marketing Officer of the prediction market platform Polymarket since January 2024, has been fired. Previously, the company conducted an internal investigation into a series of events that raised public concern and worried investors.One of the issues involved Modabber's team being accused of creating fake webpages to promote staged videos, which showed users profiting from fake trades. This situation was exposed in a June report by the Wall Street Journal, which subsequently triggered an investigation by the U.S. CFTC. The investigation is still ongoing, and no violations have been determined yet.Informed sources stated that Modabber was a confidant of 28-year-old CEO Shayne Coplan, and during his tenure as an executive, he often made impulsive decisions that led the company into a public relations crisis. Polymarket is finalizing Modabber's departure agreement, and both parties are maintaining mutual respect during the process.

Dragonfly partner Haseeb Qureshi posted on X that the claims regarding Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan using company funds for expenses such as private jets, discovered by Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, are untrue. Qureshi stated that Dragonfly is one of Polymarket's largest early investors.He mentioned that Coplan was not receiving a salary at the time, disclosed all expenses, which amounted to an annual salary roughly equivalent to that of a software engineer, and that the flight tickets were not for personal use. He stated that the accounting and reimbursement process was initiated by Coplan, and the relevant amounts have been fully reimbursed to the company, after which Coplan began receiving a normal salary. Qureshi believes this is an accounting issue, not a matter of integrity.

According to a report by Bloomberg, when Founders Fund was considering investing in Polymarket in 2025, it was discovered that at that time the company had no revenue, and CEO Coplan had used company funds to pay for personal expenses such as private jets and apartment rent. Founders Fund required the company to improve its financial controls and repay the related amounts before making the investment.

Polygon Labs official announcement, Bor v2.1.3 is officially released to the public, previously distributed in private version form to validators and major infrastructure providers. This update fixes two medium-severity denial-of-service vulnerabilities in BlockSTM V2 parallel block execution, both submitted by security researchers through the Immunefi bug bounty program.Unbounded keccak256 cache issue: Attackers can fill hundreds of MiB of cache during the speculative execution phase by constructing specific transactions, leading to node memory exhaustion and delayed block production. The fix is to set a capacity limit on the shared cache. Repeated code hash calculation issue in parallel execution: A single transaction can cause the parallel processor to take about 11 seconds, severely affecting node activity. The fix is to cache code hash results on a per-transaction basis.In addition, this update also includes several internal hardening measures: the transaction pool address filtering adds interception for EIP-7702 SetCode authorization, RPC batch execution pool concurrency limit fixes, consistency fixes for reading balances across self-destruct boundaries in parallel execution, and an automatic cleanup mechanism for pending transactions (default 3 hours). The affected versions are Bor v2.1.1 and v2.1.2. v2.1.3 is a non-hard fork, and nodes can upgrade individually without coordination. No exploitation records of the two vulnerabilities have been found on the mainnet and testnet Amoy.

According to The Block, Starknet developer StarkWare has officially opened its privacy trading service OffMarket to the public, allowing users to trade on Polymarket without publicly associating their positions with their accounts.The service has been undergoing limited testing since August, operating based on Starknet's zero-knowledge technology and shared privacy pool. Currently, the USDC deposit limit for each account is set at $1,000, and StarkWare has stated that it will adjust this limit based on demand and usage. Orders are still executed on Polymarket, facing the same buyers and sellers and market prices.OffMarket is completely non-custodial, with users' private keys stored in the browser, and funds held in Starknet's open-source privacy pool. Polymarket positions are held in contracts by wallets derived from user signatures. OpenZeppelin completed an audit of the privacy pool contract in June, finding no serious or high-risk issues, and StarkWare completed formal verification the following month. StarkWare co-founder and CEO Eli Ben-Sasson stated that the project stems from his long-term investment in the field of financial privacy and mentioned that OffMarket is bringing zero-knowledge technology to Polymarket.A spokesperson for StarkWare stated that OffMarket still cannot prevent others from identifying traders through transaction size or timing, and the market, prices, and transactions themselves remain public. Transfers of USDC from the shared pool to new wallets can also be seen.

According to the official blog of Polygon, Polygon Labs announced the completion of its acquisition of Coinme, and its payment infrastructure product Polygon Open Money Stack (OMS) has officially become a payment platform regulated by the United States.Currently, the platform covers 48 states in the U.S., holds 37 state-level money transfer licenses and 11 exemptions, and has registered as a money services business with FinCEN.

According to Bloomberg, Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan recently hinted at the possibility of launching a platform token, sparking speculation in the crypto community about potential token issuance and airdrop plans.Coplan previously stated at the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore that the company is exploring an on-chain asset linked to the platform's economic system with practical programmable uses, but did not announce specific token issuance plans. Against the backdrop of an increasing number of crypto startups turning to equity financing, Polymarket's potential token issuance plan has drawn attention.

On October 12, Polygon announced that its Open Money Stack (OMS) has launched automated stablecoin payment operations. The team can set the recipient range, payment budget, and operation window all at once. At the start of the cycle, the product sends a payment request without the need to re-sign for each transfer.The pre-set content by the team includes approved payment operations and recipient range, project expenditure limits, operation window, and expiration time, as well as the ability to close current rules. The wallet will verify the recipient range, expenditure limits, and expiration time on-chain, and the team can also close the rules in advance to prevent the next payment request.Related terms are recorded in the Sessions Module on the wallet chain and executed at the contract layer. Once approved, the backend cannot expand the recipient range, increase expenditure limits, or extend expiration time; requests that exceed the agreed terms will be rejected. This process is part of the same system as deposits, holding stablecoin balances, and subsequent settlement routing.
