According to reports, some traders using fresh accounts on Polymarket profited significantly hours before the U.S. airstrikes on Iran. Data from Bubblemaps indicates that these accounts collectively netted $1 million. However, one trader who had previously made over $2 million betting against such strikes lost $6.5 million in a single day following the attacks by the U.S. and Israel on Iran. The development highlights the volatility and high-stakes nature of prediction markets within the cryptocurrency space, particularly concerning geopolitical events.
