On May 26, Spain's Ministry of Consumer Affairs initiated disciplinary proceedings against the prediction market platforms Polymarket and Kalshi, requesting internet service providers to block user access to these platforms. According to a notice published in the official government gazette, these companies are offering products related to uncertain future events without obtaining the licenses required by Spanish law. Local media reports indicate that regulators believe their operations may violate Spanish regulations. The Spanish government stated that the preventive blocking measures will remain in effect during the case review period, which is expected to take three to four months. Regulatory documents also noted that since the regulators were unable to contact these companies through known overseas addresses, they ultimately chose to issue an official announcement and implement blocking measures directly.

Fundstrat’s head of research – Tom Lee – remains a bitcoin bull and believes the asset could serve as a proper investment tool for certain investors.
2022 has indeed been a bad year for crypto, with ‘bad’ being quite the understatement. From the declines at the start of the year due to macroeconomic events to the implosion of Terra, which, aside from wiping out two top 10 cryptocurrencies, started a domino effect that ultimately took down countless industry participants.
The landscape took another turn for the worse in November when one of the former giants – FTX and its associated companies – imploded.
With rumors circulating now questioning the state of Digital Currency Group and its subsidiaries, two of which are the troubled crypto lender Genesis and Grayscale, whose largest fund trades at a massive discount, the light at the end of the tunnel just doesn’t seem to come.
However, Fundstrat’s Tom Lee believes next year should be better than this one. As such, his company has remained optimistic about the overall long-term future of the entire industry.
