South Korea just nuked $POLY nationwide.
Their reasoning? Winner-takes-all structure = illegal gambling under 2 laws.
$POLY tried the classic defense:
- Noncustodial ✓
- No KRW accepted ✓
- Decentralized ✓
Government's response: "Decentralized ≠ Above the law."
10+ countries have now banned or restricted Polymarket.
Prediction markets fighting for survival. Regulatory chokehold tightening globally.
Decentralization theater vs. real-world enforcement. Guess who's winning.
