France orders country's internet service providers to block Polymarket

France's national gaming regulator has ordered internet service providers to completely block access to the crypto-based prediction site Polymarket. This regulatory move follows a surge in traffic from French IP addresses, which reached 578,000 visits. The decision marks an escalation in the crackdown on the prediction platform due to concerns over rampant activity. Consequently, ISPs must ensure that the site is inaccessible to users within France to comply with the regulator's official mandate.
