Government policy-making departments and intelligence agencies in various countries may need to incorporate abnormal data fluctuations in prediction markets into their reference frameworks in the future.
The recent incident in Venezuela is a typical example. On the eve of major political changes, there was a remarkable trading anomaly on Polymarket—three wallet accounts with no prior betting records suddenly made large-scale bets just hours before a key event, with betting amounts reaching millions of dollars.
From on-chain behavior patterns, these transactions exhibit obvious "predictive" characteristics. The accounts had no history, yet suddenly poured in funds at extremely precise times, and the betting directions were ultimately validated as correct—this operational logic highly aligns with institutional behavior under information asymmetry.
This not only reflects the data transparency features of prediction markets but also exposes a deeper issue: on the transparent Web3 ledger, some participants seem to possess an information advantage. For regulators, such on-chain anomalies may be worth considering as an additional dimension for public opinion early warning.

This is outrageous. A blank wallet suddenly dumps millions. Who gave them the guts?

Damn, this is an insider. Placing millions of dollars in precise bets... How much information does that require?

Wow, this is the full on-chain footage of insider trading. One wallet smashing hundreds of thousands over three hours can accurately predict the Venezuela situation. Does this guy have x-ray vision or has he obtained some secret intelligence?

A blank account suddenly throws in a few million, isn't this just insider trading with a different disguise?

Wow, is this the on-chain version of insider trading? Millions of dollars poured in and you can still stay completely hidden. This transparent ledger is just so-so.
