Власти Франции в ближайшее время могут запретить Polymarket

cryptonews.ruPublicado a 2024-02-07Actualizado a 2024-11-07

ANJ, регулятор азартных игр во Франции, может вскоре ввести запрет на Polymarket. Веб-сайт для ставок стал особенно популярным в связи с выборами в США.

Polymarket стал предметом обсуждения в различных регулирующих органах по всему миру. Он позволяет пользователям делать ставки практически на всё: результаты спортивных соревнований, цены на активы, геополитические события, такие как войны, и, конечно, результаты выборов.

На выборах в США было сделано ставок на сумму более 3,2 миллиарда долларов, и только 5 ноября объём ставок на сайте составил 294 миллиона долларов. Однако, согласно недавнему отчёту, опубликованному в The Big Whale, Франция может вскоре запретить Polymarket для своих граждан.

Франция считает, что ставки на Polymarket приравниваются к азартным играм

Уильям О’Рорк из ORWL Avocats отметил: «Полимаркет — это ставка на что-то случайное, что, строго говоря, является азартной игрой, это как ставка на спорт».

Поскольку во Франции ставки на спорт запрещены, Polymarket находится под пристальным вниманием, несмотря на то, что он использует криптовалюты вместо фиатных денег.

Что привлекло внимание французских регуляторов?

Высока вероятность того, что неизвестный французский трейдер, сделавший ставку более чем на 30 миллионов долларов на победу Трампа, является основной причиной, по которой французские власти обратили внимание на Polymarket.

Когда дело доходит до фактической блокировки сайта для французов, регулирующие органы могут заблокировать доменное имя. Власти также могут оказать давление на другие источники, которые размещали ссылки на сайт азартных игр, например, на СМИ и блогеров.

Однако, даже если Франция запретит Polymarket для своих граждан, технически подкованным людям не составит труда обойти такие блокировки. Это связано с тем, что Polymarket не требует от пользователей подтверждения их гражданства (например, водительских прав или национального удостоверения личности) при регистрации на сайте. Всё, что нужно пользователям, — это криптокошелёк.

Даже если домен сайта будет заблокирован во Франции, обеспечить соблюдение такого запрета будет сложно из-за существования VPN.

Senator Cynthia Lummis Defends Clarity Act Against Elizabeth Warren’s Criticism

Senator Cynthia Lummis defended the Clarity Act against Senator Elizabeth Warren's criticism that it contains loopholes for illicit cryptocurrency activities like money laundering. Warren cited concerns over an alleged $3.84 billion laundering case involving an Iranian company and a crypto exchange, arguing the bill weakens anti-money laundering rules and consumer protections. Lummis countered that the bill includes over sixteen provisions to combat illicit finance, such as applying Bank Secrecy Act rules to crypto (Section 201), sanctioning foreign jurisdictions like Iran (Section 303), and allowing temporary transaction freezes during investigations (Section 305). She called Warren's claims unfounded. The bill, which aims to clarify regulatory roles for the SEC and CFTC, faces ongoing debate in Congress with a 39% predicted chance of passage. Warren also urged stricter ethics rules following reports of a $1.4 billion crypto gain by former President Trump.

Female Billionaire Becomes a VC

The article details how Zhou Qunfei, founder and chairwoman of Lens Technology and once China's "richest woman," has entered the venture capital (VC) space. Zhou's recent investment in the embodied AI unicorn Kuawei Intelligent, contributing several hundred million RMB from her personal funds, brought her VC activities into focus. Her investment vehicle, Changsha Qunxin Investment, has made 17 investments, targeting semiconductor and hard tech companies like ChipOne Technology. Meanwhile, Lens Technology, her listed company, has made strategic bets this year on AI startups such as BrainCo, Xinghai Tu, Qingtian Zu, and Pudu Robotics. Zhou's own story is one of remarkable ascent. Starting as a migrant factory worker in Shenzhen, she built Lens Technology into a powerhouse supplying glass for major tech clients like Apple, with a market cap surpassing 300 billion RMB. Her move mirrors a broader trend among China's self-made industrial tycoons. Figures like Liu Yi of iHealth Labs (an investor in DeepSeek) and Zhu Xingming of Inovance Technology are similarly redirecting family offices and corporate capital away from traditional sectors like real estate. Instead, they are placing strategic bets on frontier technologies—AI, embodied intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, and nuclear fusion—effectively funding China's next wave of technological innovation.

On the Eve of Its U.S. Journey, SK Hynix Plummets Sharply

Just before its highly anticipated U.S. listing, SK Hynix saw its share price plummet dramatically, losing over 14% in a single day. The sell-off was triggered by market fears of a potential slowdown in AI capital expenditure. This followed a news report suggesting Meta might sell "excess AI compute," which was later amended to remove the word "excess." The initial phrasing sparked a chain reaction in investor sentiment, linking it to a potential peak in AI demand. Despite the sharp downturn, the article argues this is likely an overreaction driven by market sentiment and structural de-leveraging, rather than a fundamental reversal of the AI trend. The author points out that even if Meta proceeds, it could be an optimization of existing assets, not a systemic demand contraction. SK Hynix is in the final stages of its U.S. IPO via an ADR listing on Nasdaq, aiming to raise approximately $29.4 billion—one of the largest such offerings ever. The funds are earmarked for expanding domestic Korean production capacity for HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) and advanced packaging. A key motivation for the U.S. listing is to achieve a valuation re-rating, escaping the so-called "Korea discount" and tapping into the higher valuation multiples typically given to AI-related semiconductor stocks in the U.S. market. In conclusion, the article views the current price drop as a potential buying opportunity, suggesting the long-term industry fundamentals for SK Hynix—particularly its leading position in the crucial HBM market—remain strong. The significant capital raised from the IPO is also seen as a factor that could provide underlying support for the stock post-listing.

arXiv Breaks Away from Cornell, Officially Takes Flight on Its Own

arXiv, the widely used preprint server, has officially spun off from Cornell University as of July 1, becoming an independent nonprofit organization named arXiv, Inc. Registered in Delaware with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, this move ends its 25-year affiliation with Cornell. The new entity will be governed by a board of up to 12 members, with the Simons Foundation and Cornell University serving as founding members for the first five years. Ramin Zabih, a Cornell professor, will serve as interim CEO during the transition. All 26 staff members have transferred to the new organization, and operations—including free access to papers—are expected to remain unchanged for users in the near term. Founded in 1991 by physicist Paul Ginsparg, arXiv hosts over 3.09 million preprints across physics, mathematics, computer science, and other fields, facilitating rapid dissemination of research. Key motivations for independence include financial pressures—arXiv faced a deficit in 2025—and the need for greater operational flexibility to address challenges like the surge in AI-generated submissions. The platform remains committed to its free-access model but will explore broader funding avenues as a standalone entity.

World Cup Upsets Keep Coming, the 'Dumb Money' in Prediction Markets Got Me Laughing

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has been marked by frequent upsets, turning prediction markets into a high-stakes game of chance. Odaily Planet Daily examines several high-profile cases where "smart money" bets went disastrously wrong, questioning if these losses offer any contrarian insights. A major upset occurred when underdog Cape Verde held football powerhouse Spain to a 0-0 draw. A trader, betting $1 million on a Spanish victory at 0.92 odds to earn $85,000, instead lost their entire principal. This match set a precedent for underdogs stifling favorites. Similarly, Portugal, despite featuring star Cristiano Ronaldo, was held to a 1-1 draw by debutants DR Congo. A trader with a 49% win rate lost over $243,000 predicting a Portuguese win. The article highlights the case of a notorious "anti-indicator" address, @Zzzz87. After initially losing over $620,000 (with a sub-40% win rate) by betting on underdog upsets, the address switched strategy. It began backing favorites in the knockout stages, reportedly turning a $269,000 profit in a week, despite being down $255,000 over the past month. This exemplifies the market's volatility and the difficulty of establishing a consistent strategy. The core conclusion is that football's inherent unpredictability defies simple logic based on player valuations or national rankings. Whether following "smart money" or betting against "dumb money," the only certainty is uncertainty. The article advises enthusiasts to enjoy the games while remaining adaptable in their approach to the prediction markets.
