Polymarket withdraws its application for NFL contracts, and secures approval for Bitcoin price contract licensing on the same day.

2026.08.28 09:34:01

Prediction market platform Polymarket US has withdrawn two NFL player participation contract applications. The contracts, which had just been certified by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) the day prior, were pulled one day before their scheduled listing, with the platform offering no public reason for the withdrawal. The contracts are based on metrics including whether players will participate in at least one offensive or defensive play, and are set to be settled per official NFL game records, classified as binary option swaps. On the same day, Polymarket certified Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana price contracts with the CFTC — also binary option swap contracts in paired form.

Strategy (MSTR) shares extend losses to 9%

According to market data from BIT (bit.com), Strategy (MSTR)’s decline has widened to 9.08%, currently trading at $137.5. On the news front, MSCI plans to implement new rules that use operating asset ratios and multiple financial ratio tests to filter out companies whose asset structures and operational characteristics are closer to investment funds than traditional operating enterprises. Strategy, due to its extremely high proportion of Bitcoin assets, has been included in the observation list of potential exclusion candidates. The final affected list is expected to be announced on November 11. Market participants believe that if MSTR is removed from MSCI-related indices, passive funds tracking these indices will be forced to reduce their holdings of its stock, which may generate selling pressure worth billions of dollars and pose a challenge to its model of continuously acquiring Bitcoin through equity financing.
