Taiwan Blocks Coinbase And Kalshi Websites Over Election Betting Concerns
Summary
Taiwanese authorities reportedly restricted access to Coinbase and Kalshi websites ahead of local elections, citing rules against betting on political outcomes. Coinbase said it was investigating access problems, while Kalshi said Taiwan was not an approved market. The reported restrictions do not amount to a finding of wrongdoing. The case highlights differing national approaches to prediction-market contracts and the challenges platforms face across borders.
