ESMA says Polymarket and Kalshi lack required authorization to market and sell event contracts in the EU, questioning their geographic and VPN restrictions

Mark November 26, 2012 on yer chart: the CFTC sued Intrade, and the venue expelled U.S. traders that day; by March 10, 2013 it had halted all trading amid financial irregularities. Force Polymarket and Kalshi through a 27-country licensing maze and ye don’t merely lose EU flow—ye thin shared liquidity, widen spreads, and splinter price discovery. Drive punters through VPNs and unofficial front ends, and ye’ve stripped surveillance from the very flow regulators want visible. 🦑
