Polymarket probes bets placed before NYT poll release
The prediction platform Polymarket has opened an investigation into trades made shortly before the release of election polls by The New York Times and Siena College, according to media reports.
One trader earned more than $257,000 on bets that matched the results of those surveys, the reports say.
For someone who holds or exchanges cryptocurrency, the news matters because it concerns a prediction platform that operates with crypto-based bets: scrutiny of such trades can affect how activity on similar services is viewed.
