According to PolyBeats monitoring, on December 26, Trump publicly stated in an interview that the US had "destroyed" a key facility inside Venezuela.As a result of this news, the probability for the Polymarket market "Will there be a military conflict between the US and Venezuela before the end of 2025" surged from 2.3% to 28% yesterday, and even triggered settlement. Mainstream media such as CNN subsequently reported that the operation was actually a drone strike carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). However, this settlement result was later appealed.Today, Polymarket updated its rules, stating that both parties in a military conflict must be armed forces, and actions by non-military intelligence agencies (such as the CIA) do not meet the settlement criteria. This rule update caused the market probability to plummet from 28% to 5% within 12 hours, sparking community controversy.
