Insider trading? Did they update finance laws to cover gambling?
It might be because they used crypto which is kinda treated like an investment vehicle now.
Polymarket skirts gambling laws by insisting it's not gambling. Instead it's legally registered as a futures market (or something like that, I don't remember the details). So all bets are legally stock market trades.
Knowing that, it makes sense.
