Taiwan moved to restrict access to Coinbase and Kalshi websites in connection with election-betting concerns, and one report also says Coinbase became unreachable for some users after a court-ordered block. The actions place both platforms in the middle of separate access restrictions tied to those concerns.
Key claims & sources
What it means
People trying to reach Coinbase or Kalshi in Taiwan are the ones who notice this immediately, because access to both sites was blocked there. The restriction is visible today as a barrier to opening the websites rather than as a change to the services themselves.
Before this, the sites could be reached by users in the normal way; after the action, access in Taiwan was limited for the domains named in the reports. What stays the same is that the underlying platforms are still being discussed in relation to election betting, and the reports do not say that the services themselves were shut down everywhere.
