  • IDF reservist and civilian indicted over alleged use of classified data for Polymarket bets.
  • Joint Shin Bet, police probe leads to security, bribery and obstruction charges.
  • Court lifts gag order, confirms no senior defense officials are implicated.

Israeli prosecutors have filed charges against an Israel Defense Forces reservist and a civilian accused of using classified military information to place wagers on the prediction market platform Polymarket. The indictment, submitted Monday to the Tel Aviv District Court, marks a rare case in which alleged misuse of sensitive operational details intersected with online event-based betting tied to wartime activity.

Authorities said the case centers on the exploitation of confidential information during active military operations. According to a prosecution-approved summary released after a partial lifting of a gag order, investigators allege that the reservist accessed classified information through military service and used it to inform wagers related to Israeli military actions.

Charges Filed After Joint Security Investigation

The suspects were arrested in a coordinated operation involving the Shin Bet, also known as the Israel Security Agency, a Defense Ministry investigative unit, and the Israel Police. Prosecutors stated that evidence collected during the investigation led to charges that include serious security offenses, bribery, and obstruction of justice.

The prosecution has requested that the court extend the defendants’ detention until the conclusion of legal proceedings. Further identifying details, including the names of the accused and specific information about the wagers, remain under court-imposed restrictions.

The indictment follows reports in recent weeks that Israeli authorities were reviewing whether insider information had been used to profit from prediction markets connected to Israeli military operations in Iran in June 2025. KAN News previously reported that the Shin Bet was examining suspicions involving potential misuse of classified data within the defense establishment.

No Senior Defense Officials Implicated

Media outlets reported that the indictment does not involve senior defense officials, despite speculation that circulated online during the period when a sweeping gag order was in effect. Ynet reported that the charges do not include allegations framed as intent to harm state security.

The court authorized publication only of a limited outline of the allegations and the investigative bodies involved. Additional case details remain sealed.

The investigation has highlighted the use of prediction markets, where participants trade shares linked to future events. Polymarket, which allows users to bet on geopolitical and other developments, has been referenced in prior reporting concerning unusual, high-confidence wagers tied to Israeli military activity.

However, Israeli authorities have not disclosed the scale of the alleged wagers or the financial sums involved. The case continues under judicial review in the Tel Aviv District Court.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
