Svmuu reported that in response to The Information's report on "Polymarket planning to require users to complete KYC due to compliance pressure," Polymarket's Vice President of Engineering, Josh Stevens, responded that the report is not true.
Josh Stevens stated that Polymarket is currently testing a new beta product, and KYC verification is only required for some trial users during the testing period. There is no new KYC requirement added to the existing Polymarket website.
He further stated that once the testing period for this product ends, users will no longer need to undergo KYC to use it.
