Polymarket denies implementing KYC comprehensively, only requiring some users to verify for the beta version of the product

In response to The Information's report that "Polymarket plans to require users to complete KYC due to compliance pressure," Polymarket's Vice President of Engineering, Josh Stevens, stated that the report is not true.

Josh Stevens indicated that Polymarket is currently testing a new beta product that only requires some trial users to complete KYC verification during the testing period; the existing Polymarket website has not added any KYC requirements.

He further stated that after the testing of this product ends, users will no longer need KYC to use it.
