The United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has issued a subpoena to the U.S. cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase concerning Polymarket.
According to a report by Cointelegraph on the 9th (local time), Coinbase announced through its official channels that "the CFTC has sent a subpoena related to the crypto-based prediction market platform Polymarket, and may share specific customer information, including account-related details, with the CFTC."
