Polymarket reviews and weeds out early-stage projects in its ecosystem, targeting insider trading and market manipulation behaviors

Gate News message. On April 14, a report from The Information said that it predicts the market platform Polymarket will conduct an audit of certain startup projects that are integrating into its ecosystem. These projects were previously accused of identifying and distributing information about suspected insider-trading accounts, leading users to follow trades. The projects under review include Kreo (which focuses on a “feature to detect insider accounts in advance”) and Polycool (which provides an “insider trading guide” service). By pushing users transaction data from suspicious accounts, these platforms have intensified market concerns about insider trading and manipulation. Polymarket’s move indicates that it is strengthening compliance management for its platform ecosystem; earlier, the platform had already faced ongoing external scrutiny over potential insider-trading risks in prediction markets.
