Polymarket has been officially restricted from operating in Ukraine. This marks another regulatory development in the prediction market space as jurisdictions continue to clarify their stances on crypto-based betting and trading platforms. Users in the region will no longer have access to the service.

The regulatory iron fist is coming again, Polymarket has been banned in Ukraine... It seems that the path of prediction markets is becoming increasingly difficult.

Banned and blocked again, Ukrainian users will have to find another place now.

Another one gets banned. These days, it's not easy to run a prediction market.

lol ukraine ban incoming, called this months ago. predictably dumping on schedule, every jurisdiction just reads the same playbook at this point. actually if you read the contract terms... yeah, this was textbook exit pump pattern setup from day one. watching liquidations like netflix rn

Another platform has been shut down, this time it's Polymarket... Ukraine really has zero tolerance for crypto prediction markets.

It's another regulatory window period. Ukraine's move was indeed unexpected, but we need to look at it from a different perspective—perhaps this is just the market reshuffling itself. --- Rebirth often happens during the strictest restrictions. Believe that the light will eventually appear. --- Regulatory waves are coming, but true believers are never afraid of the waves. The bottom zone is right in front of us. --- Once again, reality has taught us a harsh lesson. But this decline is actually a buildup for the next round. Be patient, everyone. --- Ukraine has closed, but this is just a microcosm of market sentiment. Opportunities often hide in the gaps of rule adjustments. --- Remember, the most important thing when losing money is to stay clear-headed. Now is the test of your mindset. --- Policy shifts can sometimes look intimidating, but energy conservation is key. Every restriction is a prelude to value return. --- Don't panic. The logic of the long-term cycle is still in place. Those who traverse cycles end up smiling the brightest.
