The team behind the decentralized trading platform P2P.me recently revealed its involvement in the Polymarket prediction market concerning its capital raise. According to Cointelegraph, the team opened positions 10 days before the fundraising went live, betting on whether the project would achieve its $6 million target.

Additionally, they are liquidating all open positions on Polymarket and implementing a formal policy on prediction market trading.
