Odaily Planet Daily reported that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the cryptocurrency prediction platform Polymarket, accusing it of accepting transactions from U.S. users. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued a search warrant for Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan and confiscated his mobile phones and electronic devices.
Under a 2022 agreement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Polymarket will block U.S. traders from trading on the platform.

Polymarket is a fully transparent prediction market that helps ordinary people better understand the events that matter most to them, including the election.
The company, led by Coplan, reached an enforcement settlement with the CFTC two years ago and paid a $1.4 million fine in addition to agreeing to block U.S. users. The company said in recent weeks that it has taken additional steps to verify and block users it suspects may be U.S. citizens or reside in the United States. (Bloomberg)
Odaily Planet Daily News Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan responded to the platforms investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice on X: It is frustrating that the current administration will take a last-ditch effort to hunt down companies they believe are associated with political opponents. We are firmly committed to a nonpartisan stance, and today is no exception, but the current administration should do some self-reflection and realize that taking a more business-friendly and entrepreneurial approach may change their fate in this election.
We are proud that Polymarket has provided value to tens of millions of people this election cycle without hurting anyone.
I can say with my head held high that America’s future, and especially the future of American entrepreneurship, has never been brighter.
In the face of adversity, we keep building.”

Wall Street expects the Fed to cut rates again at its final meeting of the year
Odaily Planet Daily News: The pace of slowing inflation in the United States seems to have lost momentum, which may raise questions about how aggressively the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates early next year.

At the same time, the year-on-year growth rate may rise from 2.4% to 2.6%, marking the first increase in eight months.
However, even if Octobers CPI inflation data is strong, Wall Street still expects the Fed to cut interest rates again at its last meeting of the year in December. But January next year will be when doubts begin to grow. (Jinshi)

Fed Governor Waller questions CBDC’s payments utility
Odaily Planet Daily reported that Federal Reserve Board Governor Christopher Waller expressed doubts about whether the U.S. payment system needs a central bank digital currency (CBDC) at the 2024 Clearing House Annual Meeting held on November 12, questioning whether there are problems in the system that CBDC can solve.
He said: “In a speech I gave in August 2021, I asked, what problems can CBDC solve? In other words, what market failures or inefficiencies require this particular intervention? In more than three years, I have not heard a satisfactory answer about CBDC.”
Waller advocates for market-driven solutions, emphasizing the benefits of the private sector promoting innovation in payment systems through competition.
He said the private sector, driven by profit and competition, tends to make better decisions when it comes to determining which technologies are worth investing in and which ones may not meet consumer needs.
Waller further stated that until a clear need is identified that cannot be met by the private sector, the government’s role should remain supportive, rather than directly competing with private payment innovation. (CryptoSlate)
