Polymarket, an online betting platform, unexpectedly removed a bet that concerned the possibility of a nuclear weapon detonation by 2026.

Bet Details

The bet, titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?", had generated a trading volume of nearly one million dollars before being removed from the site. Polymarket did not simply close the bet, but archived it, making it virtually impossible to consult any record related to it.

Unclear Motivations

Polymarket's decision appears unusual, as many other bets, even older and already settled, remain visible and accessible on the platform. The reasons behind the removal of this specific bet have not been clarified.
