US President Donald Trump announced that the “leaker on Venezuela” has been apprehended, sparking interest in prediction markets. Analysts suspect the leaker may be tied to certain Polymarket accounts that made precise bets on Venezuela before public news broke. Some accounts are active, with one turning $5,800 into $75,000.

Lookonchain noted that the remaining active account, SBet365, made a recent prediction on Iran’s Supreme Leader. Trump hinted at the possibility of other leakers being identified. These events occur as US lawmakers work on a bill to prevent insider trading on political bets. Insider trading is already prohibited by Coalition for Prediction Markets, a group focused on responsible governance.
