More →Polymarket: South Korea blocks platform over market manipulation concerns
South Korean media regulator has blocked Polymarket over concerns that its winner-takes-all markets could create an illegal gambling environment. The Korea Communications Standards Commission voted on August 18 to restrict Polymarket, saying its markets in areas such as politics, elections, sports, and weather could encourage gambling. The move adds to regulatory pressure on prediction markets, and access for South Korean users has already been blocked. The decision leaves Polymarket facing new regulatory challenges and echoes similar actions in other countries. France blocked Polymarket on July 16, saying the platform could expose users to huge losses or the risk of gambling manipulation. Australia and Germany also blocked the platform in August and September 2025. Polymarket argues that its structure is non-custodial and peer-to-peer, but the regulator's decision shows that how a platform handles user funds is not the only consideration. The ban may make it harder for South Korean users to access the platform and participate in its markets.

Parataxis Ethereum cancels South Korea merger due to delisting risk

Michael Burry: The stock market is in the denial stage, and history is repeating itself.
CoinWorld data: Michael Burry recently issued a stock market warning, saying that although the Nasdaq is near a record high, the stock market is still in a denial phase. He pointed out that the markets of 2000 and 2008 experienced similar denial phases, usually lasting 6 to 9 months. Burry believes that investors viewed early market weakness as a buying opportunity rather than a turning point. Although the latest market data seems to contradict his view, he stressed that historical experience shows that early market resilience often leads to deeper losses. Burry also recently adjusted his investment strategy, turning to put options on Micron, Nvidia, and Palantir. He believes the market should experience enough of a decline to prevent OpenAI and Anthropic from going public.

HKMA Chief Executive Eddie Yue: The softer Hong Kong dollar exchange rate mainly reflects the impact of two major factors.
According to CoinWorld news, Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority: The weaker Hong Kong dollar exchange rate mainly reflects the impact of two major factors. Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, said today that last month the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in three years, widening the interest rate differential between Hong Kong and the United States, and the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate weakened. Some market participants and the public once again focused on the movement of the Hong Kong dollar. During April to May, the Hong Kong dollar moved roughly between 7.8300 and 7.8380, and since mid-June it has gradually weakened, recently hovering around 7.8460-7.8475, moving further closer to the weak-side convertibility undertaking of 7.8500. This mainly reflects the impact of two major factors: carry trades triggered by the widening interest rate differential between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar, and the decline in Hong Kong dollar demand related to the stock market. Looking ahead to the short-term movement of the Hong Kong dollar, it will be affected by several factors, including capital market activities, the market's appetite for carry trades, local market liquidity conditions, and the outlook for Federal Reserve monetary policy.
