The U.S. CFTC has added 3 new insider trading investigations into Polymarket: involving Biden's pardons, the Iran war, and Google

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has previously secretly approved at least three insider trading investigations related to Polymarket trading, involving contracts related to Biden's pardons, the Iran war, and Google-related events. The relevant investigation documents were obtained by WIRED through the Freedom of Information Act.Among them, CFTC Chairman Michael Selig approved an investigation into contracts related to Biden's pardons in May, after a trader had profited over $300,000 in the relevant market; in the same month, the CFTC also approved an investigation into Iran war contracts, after a group of suspicious accounts was reported to have profited $2.4 million with a win rate of about 98%. In July, the CFTC further initiated an investigation into Google-related Polymarket contracts, focusing on individuals who may have traded using non-public information regarding Google's 2025 search rankings. The Southern District Attorney's Office in New York is also conducting a parallel investigation.It is currently unclear whether the aforementioned accounts are connected to previously investigated individuals. Polymarket stated that the company would refer the relevant matters to law enforcement and cooperate with the investigation. As the prediction market rapidly expands, U.S. regulators are clearly intensifying their scrutiny of insider trading and market manipulation.

Hunter Biden stated that the LAPTOP will release 4 million tokens to incentivize liquidity and will destroy 10 million tokens

Former U.S. President Biden's son Hunter Biden stated that the LAPTOP Foundation's X account has currently been suspended, and the team is attempting to restore the account. During this period, information will be published through Medium, and the foundation will not withdraw from the LAPTOP project. The accompanying statement mentioned that after establishing an initial liquidity pool of 0.05 USD per token, LAPTOP encountered significant demand and front-running bots, resulting in insufficient initial liquidity from market makers, which caused the token price to fluctuate violently before liquidity was replenished.To improve market liquidity, the team began injecting 4 million LAPTOP tokens into the Aerodrome liquidity pool as incentives starting from 0:00 UTC on September 10, accounting for 0.4% of the total supply. Additionally, two predicted events will settle with "YES," and 10 million LAPTOP tokens will be burned within the first week of launch, accounting for 1% of the total supply. The team stated that there was no presale of LAPTOP, nor were tokens allocated to investors, influencers, or KOLs; 30% of the tokens held by the founders are locked for 6 months and will be unlocked over two years, held in custody by Coinbase Custody, while another 30% allocated for the prediction mechanism is locked for 12 months.80 million LAPTOP tokens can be claimed by users who subscribed to Hunter Biden's Substack before September 6, with a claiming period of 30 days, and any unclaimed portion will be burned. Previously, Hunter Biden expressed that he did not gain any profits from LAPTOP amid the violent fluctuations after the token launch.
