In accordance with KanalCoin, Norwegian authorities are investigating potential leaks linked to unusual betting activity on Polymarket ahead of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize announcement. The inquiry focuses on risks to market integrity and investor confidence in decentralized prediction markets. The Nobel Committee, a five-member panel, manages the Peace Prize award process, which requires strict confidentiality. No official statements have been issued by the Nobel Committee or Polymarket leadership. The betting market listed Donald Trump at 13% odds before the announcement, though no on-chain irregularities have been reported. The investigation could lead to increased regulatory scrutiny for decentralized platforms like Polymarket. Similar leaks occurred in 2013 and 2018, but did not trigger formal probes.
