Taiwan Restricts Access to Coinbase and Kalshi Over Election Betting Concerns

Taiwanese authorities restricted access to Coinbase and Kalshi websites in October over concerns involving election betting ahead of local elections scheduled for November 28. Kalshi operates event-based contracts while Coinbase offers cryptocurrency services. Taiwan has strict rules regarding election gambling and previously restricted access to other prediction-market services, citing concerns that wagering on election outcomes may introduce incentives conflicting with local electoral rules.
