The US CFTC has launched a broad investigation into Polymarket, covering social media activity and fraudulent transactions.
PANews reported on June 30th that, according to Bloomberg, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is conducting a broad investigation into prediction market platform Polymarket, covering aspects of its business, including its social media activities. This comes after the Wall Street Journal reported that Polymarket employed dozens of social media creators, primarily college-aged, to produce fake trading videos to attract users. The investigation now covers other aspects of the company's business. The CFTC and the Department of Justice concluded their investigation last year into whether Polymarket violated a ban on U.S. users, but some U.S. users still bypassed the ban by using VPNs and other methods to access its main platform. Since reaching a settlement with the CFTC in 2022, Polymarket has technically banned U.S. users from using its main platform, but the company is taking steps to reinstate its main exchange in the U.S. and is cooperating with the CFTC to lift the ban.

Polymarket suffered a breach of its third-party vendor's system, resulting in the theft of approximately $3 million in user assets.
PANews reported on June 26 that, according to Decrypt, prediction market platform Polymarket suffered a major security breach due to a third-party vendor's hack, resulting in malicious code being injected into its website's front end and approximately $3 million being stolen from 15 user accounts. Polymarket stated that the issue has been resolved and affected users will receive full compensation, but did not disclose the specific vendor involved. The stolen funds were originally in pUSD, a USD-pegged stablecoin used by the platform. The attackers converted it into ETH and then deposited it into a wallet address. This attack is Polymarket's second security incident in nearly two months. Last month, approximately $700,000 was stolen from a wallet used by an employee to deposit and pay user rewards due to a private key breach.
