Viral prediction market posts raise global disinformation fears

[cryptoenthusiast]

Recent geopolitical events have amplified concerns that prediction markets may be contributing to global misinformation.

Earlier this month, Polymarket published a post claiming Iranian security forces had lost control of major cities — a claim that was disputed and later criticized as inaccurate. The post still generated nearly 7 million views and thousands of engagements before being widely challenged.

Kalshi has faced similar scrutiny after posting about US-Denmark talks over Greenland, framing the situation more aggressively than official statements from Denmark. As prediction markets grow rapidly, watchdogs warn their social media strategies risk blurring the line between market data and news reporting.
