韩国监管机构已批准限制预测市场平台 Polymarket 在当地的访问,理由是该平台被认定涉及赌博活动。此举使韩国加入法国、西班牙等多个已对该平台采取限制措施的司法辖区之列。

监管否定P2P抗辩

韩国媒体报道显示,韩国广播通信审议委员会认定,Polymarket 的运营方式触及《刑法》中有关赌博及经营赌博场所的规定,同时也涉及《国民体育振兴法》中的类似类别。监管部门认为,用户在这类市场中的盈亏取决于外部事件结果,带有明显投机性质。

Polymarket 允许用户围绕选举、体育、经济数据和天气等现实事件交易“是或否”合约,是全球规模较大的预测市场之一。平台方面曾辩称,其不提供韩语服务、不支持韩元支付,且采用非托管点对点交易和智能合约。

不过,韩国监管机构没有接受这一说法。监管部门认为,尽管交易形式带有 P2P 特征,但平台运营方仍负责市场创建、交易规则设定,并提供加密资产充值、提现和结算系统,同时收取相关费用,因此不能据此排除其运营责任。

7月启动审查

这项审查始于今年 7 月。韩国国家警察厅和国家赌博管制委员会此前提出请求,要求对该平台展开审查。当地媒体还称,警方已另行对韩国本地 Polymarket 用户展开调查,怀疑其参与非法赌博。

从监管表述看,韩国此次处理重点不在平台是否支持本地法币,而在于平台是否实质性组织和促成了以加密资产结算的押注交易。

已有多国采取限制

韩国并非首个对 Polymarket 采取限制措施的国家。此前,法国已要求当地互联网服务提供商屏蔽该网站,西班牙、印度尼西亚、阿根廷和乌克兰等地也已对平台访问作出限制。

Polymarket 目前在平台说明中列出 39 个被完全限制访问的国家,但其中尚未出现韩国。这意味着平台的限制名单可能还未完成更新。
