The exchanges bought the bookies. Now comes the data war

The New York Stock Exchanges parent just completed a $2 billion bet on Polymarket. Kalshi raised a billion at $22 billion while generating fee revenue most exchanges would envy. Seven bills in Congress want the whole category banned. Wall Street is not gambling on prediction markets; it is buying the probability layer of the financial system, and the difference explains everything.　　SummaryIntercontinental Exchange, parent of the NYSE, completed a $2 billion commitment to Polymarket in March, $1 billion in October plus a fresh $600 million, with the platform now discussing new funding near a $15 billion valuation.Kalshi raised more than $1 billion this spring at a $22 billion valuation, roughly doubling in months, on volumes that reached $31.5 billion in June against Polymarkets $10.8 billion, with fee revenue estimates running from $850 million to $1.5 billion annualized.The tell is the deal structure: ICE bought global distribution rights to Polymarkets event data and launched institutional probability feeds within months, chairman Jeffrey Sprecher framing the stake as a new layer of financial intelligence, not a venture flyer.The consolidation is visible everywhere: the rival CEOs jointly backed a $35 million VC fund for the sector, Kalshi struck institutional distribution through Tradeweb, Robinhoods event contracts

The Harsh Reality of New Crypto: Just 7% of Major Tokens Beat Their Launch Price

Almost every high-value cryptocurrency launched since 2024 is now worth less than it was at launch, according to analytics firm CryptoRank.　　The firm tracked 113 coins since their token generation event (TGE) price, with only 8 of them now above that price, a median return of -95.7%.　　The sample is limited to projects with a market capitalization above $100 million as of July 21, CryptoRank told CryptoPotato.　　CryptoRank Study: Eight Exceptions to the Rule　　Eight coins included in the survey are in profit, led by HYPE, ONDO, EVA, and NIGHT.　　Hyperliquid‘s HYPE was up 1,519% from its launch price at the time of the survey’s publication on July 21st. Ondo Finances ONDO followed at 101.4%, with EverValue Coin (EVA) and Midnight Network (NIGHT) up a more modest 20.3% and 16.5% respectively.　　These figures are revealing, as we can see that even among those that are up, only a small handful showed outsized performance, with six of the eight achieving double-digit increases at best. Its worth noting that HYPE was also listed in the new S&P Pantera Digital Asset Index, which excluded many high-performing crypto assets, including Bitcoin.　　Why the Decline？　　CryptoRank states that sell-offs, thin liquidity, and regulatory uncertainty were the main causes of major drawdowns in these

Why Coin98s Wallet Health Checker Might Be The Feature Every Crypto Holder Is Missing

Ive lost track of how many people I know who obsessively check their portfolio value every single day on Coin98 and have never once checked whether their wallet itself is actually safe. 　　That gap is exactly what pushed me to dig into Coin98‘s Wallet Health feature, and after going through it myself, I think it’s solving a problem most wallets have quietly ignored for years.　　A Decade Of Growth Behind The Feature　　Before getting into what Wallet Health actually does, I think its worth understanding the scale of the platform building it. Coin98 has grown to more than 10 million users across over 170 countries, a footprint that includes over 1 million Android downloads, more than 90,000 Chrome extension users, and over 4,000 App Store ratings in Vietnam alone. Those numbers measure different things, but together they paint a picture of genuinely global distribution rather than concentrated growth in a single region　　What I find more telling than the raw user count is the trajectory. Coin98 went from 200,000-plus users in 2021, to supporting more than 40 chains by 2022, to over 8 million users by 2023, to more than 130 networks by 2024. In 2026, that growth has turned into something broader:

XRP Price Prediction Eyes $20 but Smart Wallets Are Loading 150x Entries First, Pepetos Binance Listing Trigger Approaches as the CLARITY Act Vote Lands This Week

This is a press release sponsored content. BlockchainReporter did not write, edit, or verify this content.　　Most people tracking the XRP price prediction are watching the wrong number. XRP traded at $0.006 in early 2017 and reached $3.84 by January 2018, a run that turned small wallets into retirement accounts inside nine months. That story is market history now, but the conditions that created it are not as rare as people think.　　While Ripple secures full MiCA approval across 30 European countries and XRP breaks out of a symmetrical triangle with a 5% daily surge, Pepeto at $0.0000001884 is building the return distance that XRPs $70 billion market cap makes impossible from here.　　XRP Price Prediction Strengthens After MiCA Approval and Triangle Breakout　　Ripple secured full MiCA regulatory approval across 30 European countries, per FX Leaders. XRP broke out of a month-long symmetrical triangle on July 21 with a 5% daily surge, and the CLARITY Act faces its Senate vote on July 23.　　Spot XRP ETFs have pulled in $1.48 billion since November 2025, per The Crypto Times. But from $1.13, even the most aggressive forecasts measure returns in single-digit multiples across years, and that is exactly why capital looking for real speed keeps landing
