Polymarket exec says KYC limited to beta product, not existing platform

Cointelegraph
Polymarket clarified that mandatory KYC requirements apply only to a new beta product and not its existing prediction market platform.

Summary

Polymarket’s vice president of engineering, Josh Stevens, has clarified that the company is not implementing mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) checks for its existing prediction market service. The identity verification requirements mentioned in recent reports are exclusive to a limited beta product during its initial testing phase. Stevens emphasized that the main platform remains focused on pseudonymous trading, and the beta-related checks will not persist once the new product exits its testing stage.
