**[Argentine Court Orders Complete Ban on Prediction Market Platform Polymarket]** According to CriptoNoticias, the Argentine judiciary has ordered an immediate and complete ban on the prediction market platform Polymarket. The ban applies nationwide in Argentina and directs Google and Apple to remove the platform's mobile app from the Android and iOS app stores. The ruling stems from a complaint by the Buenos Aires City Lottery Agency, accusing Polymarket of operating an unauthorized online gambling system under the guise of a "prediction market." Prosecutors pointed out that the platform operates without a license in Argentina, accepts cryptocurrency and credit card payments, does not require identity or age verification, and allows users to create accounts within minutes, significantly increasing risks for users, including minors participating in gambling. Argentina has become the second Latin American country, after Colombia, to impose comprehensive restrictions on the platform. Despite the ruling, as of 1:05 PM local time on Monday, Argentine users were still able to access the service.
