Several Taiwanese residents were reportedly using the decentralized betting platform Polymarket, the same platform that saw record-breaking trading volumes during the 2020 United States election.
With the Taiwan presidential election looming within a month, residents of Taiwan have been reportedly warned against using cryptocurrency betting platforms to wager on the presidential outcome. This advice comes amid an ongoing investigation, with several individuals already called for questioning.
