SOUTH KOREA BLOCKS POLYMARKET — ISP CUTOFF ORDERED
South Korea's regulators ordered ISPs to block Polymarket access, rejecting the platform's argument that peer-to-peer trading shouldn't face gambling restrictions. The move marks aggressive enforcement against crypto prediction markets in a major Asian market—degens there lose direct access unless they're already holding positions or running VPNs.
Major jurisdiction action against prediction market; enforcement escalation with immediate market access impact.
