Polymarket: bets on bank failure raise concerns at the FDIC.
Volume: ~US$ 76,000 in year-end contracts.
Offshore platform. The US exchange does not offer these bets.
The FDIC asks whether there is a legitimate business benefit and whether ethics rules prevent insider trading.
Polymarket argues that markets expand access to information.
My view: the traded probability is not a diagnosis of solvency. Limited liquidity can distort probabilities.
Observe: transaction history, concentration of participants, settlement rules.
Official documents remain essential.
The quality of a prediction market depends on how clearly its limitations are communicated.
