According to Polymarket's rules, those betting yes would have won if a nuclear detonation occurred for offensive use, testing or by accident. The market first listed late last year drew just $10,000 in volume on Friday before the Middle East conflict broke out.

Prediction markets that allow traders to bet on fatal events have been criticized by Democratic lawmakers following the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in recent strikes. Six Democratic senators sent a letter to CFTC Chairman Michael Selig.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposed rules in 2024 that would bar exchanges it regulates from listing event contracts tied to war, terrorism, assassination or other activities deemed contrary to the public interest.
