Edited by Steinar Vigdel Kolnes, Editor, Oslo
A court order has blocked access to Coinbase and Kalshi in Taiwan as police investigate betting tied to the island’s Nov. 28 local elections.
Taiwan has restricted access to the websites of Coinbase and Kalshi following a court order requested by police investigating election-related betting, according to Bitcoin.com News.
The blocks came six weeks ahead of the island’s Nov. 28 local elections. The investigation concerns wagers linked to those contests.
Kalshi lists markets covering the races even though its membership terms prohibit users from Taiwan. The source did not provide further details about Coinbase’s connection to the investigation.
