The holding of the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the NATO meeting of June 24 in the Netherlands put on a battle between the bettors on the polymarket cryptographic prediction platform.
The main dishes to remember:
- NATO’s outfit of Zelenskyy sparked a 79 million dollars in Paris dispute on Polymarket to find out if he had a costume.
- Opinions are divided, some saying that its jacket and pants look formal.
- However, others argue that occasional elements disqualify it.
The market, which attracted nearly $ 79 million in Paris, bet if it would clothe a suit before July.
The market result was initially known on “yes”, but has since faced two disputes and awaits a final verdict.
Debate on the question of whether the NATO holding of Zelenskyy is considered a costume
At the heart of the debate, it is whether Zelenskyy’s outfit, a dark jacket, a collar shirt and long pants, constitutes a formal costume.
The supporters argue that the clothes correspond in color and fabric, with a coherent and costume -shaped appearance.
Critics have thwarted that occasional cup, military style elements and mismatched coaches disqualify it as a traditional costume.
Polymarket Intel, an account managed by the community on X, classified the outfit of Zelenskyy as a costume, but other voices did not agree.
When asked, Chatgpt labeled the whole a military -style field jacket rather than a suit.
The eminent men’s clothing commentator Derek Guy added fuel to the fire, joking on June 26 that the outfit was “both a costume and not a costume”.
This is not the first time that the Zelenskyy wardrobe has launched a Paris outcry on the polymarket.
A similar dispute broke out in May to find out if his outfit at a German meeting had as a costume.
This market finally ruled “no”, despite Derek Guy claiming that the matching fabric technically made it a costume.
The controversy highlights the subjective nature of the Polymarket prediction markets, which are based on the oracles based on the blockchain of Uma Protocol to verify the results.
Critics say that the system can be subject to manipulation or ambiguity.
In March, a bet of $ 7 million on a mineral agreement in Ukraine also sparked allegations of oracle problems, while a recent truf.network report warned that all the risks of the market collapse when the data is unspeakable or manipulated.
Adding a context, Zelenskyy previously said that he would only bear a costume only when the Ukraine war with Russia ends.
Ukrainian Outure The independent Kyiv reported his preference for military style clothes as a symbol of continuous resistance.
Polymarket approaches unicorn status with an increase of $ 200 million
As indicated, Polymarket is about to obtain a 200 million dollars financing tour led by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, evaluating the prediction platform based on crypto $ 1 billion.
Although it was prohibited in the United States and attacked by the FBI last year, the user basis and the activity of the Polymarket market increased, with more than 21,000 open markets and $ 700 million in active negotiation volume.
The platform recently associated with Elon Musk’s X to integrate the prediction markets with Grok, the Chatbot AI of X, strengthening its visibility in the middle of the regulatory obstacles in progress.
Polymarket has experienced explosive growth since the American elections of 2024, reaching a commercial peak of $ 2.5 billion in November, but it remains limited in several countries and faces criticism on potential market manipulation.
