WLFI token falls 18% as governance vote branded a scam

The vote has already passed the required number of votes by 657%.  The proposal will keep 17 billion early supporter WLFI tokens from being tradeable for another two years. After this, a two-year “linear vest” will take place, where the tokens will be gradually unlocked for the market.  This means some early investors will have to wait another four years to see the entirety of their WLFI tokens unlocked.  Yes votes were also practically coerced into voting, as WLFI stated that token holders voting against “will continue to be locked indefinitely,” and restricted to just governance vote participation.  The vote wasnt well-received  In the WLFI forum, theres a mix of support and discontent over the two-year locking schedule and two-year vesting period.  Some outright called WLFI a “scammer.” This response was also common across X in response to WLFIs announcement.  Indeed, some users implied that the vote wasnt democratic and that it was already predetermined. One user mocked the project for suggesting it was “community governance.”  As crypto trader White Whale said, “Proposal: agree with our absurd plan or lose your tokens forever.”  Users mocked the vote for coercing mechanics.  One of WLFIs biggest former supporters, Tron CEO Justin Sun, is now suing the firm over its blacklisting of his

Nikita Bier said crypto is the most muted topic since X launched its snooze feature.X also rolled out Grok-powered custom timelines, but only for Premium users.Santiment data shows Bitcoin and Solana social sentiment at a four-month high.

Sports Betting with Bitcoin in 2026: Sites, Features, and Limits

Bitcoin has moved from a niche payment method to a standard option across online sportsbooks. In 2026, it plays a defined role: fast settlement, global access, and reduced reliance on banking systems. At the same time, it introduces its own constraints—volatility, network fees, and platform-specific limits.  This guide breaks down how Bitcoin betting works, what features matter, where platforms differ, and what limits to expect.  How Bitcoin Sports Betting Works  The core flow is simple:Deposit BTC to a sportsbook walletPlace bets priced either in BTC or converted fiat valueSettle wagers after the eventWithdraw BTC back to your wallet  Most platforms such as Dexsport abstract the blockchain layer. Deposits are credited after confirmations, while withdrawals depend on internal processing plus network conditions.  Two models dominate:Wallet-based betting – connect a crypto wallet or deposit directlyAccount-based betting – create an account and use BTC as a payment method  The difference matters for custody and privacy.Key Features That Matter in 20261. Transaction Speed and Finality  Bitcoin remains slower than newer chains. Typical confirmation times range from 10 minutes to an hour depending on network congestion. Some platforms credit deposits after 1–2 confirmations; others require more.2. Fees  BTC transaction fees fluctuate. During peak demand, they can rise sharply. Many sportsbooks absorb deposit fees

Solana news: Germany’s AllUnity expands EURAU to Solana as euro stablecoins gain traction

AllUnity, a joint venture backed by DWS, Flow Traders and Galaxy Digital (GLXY), took its euro-backed stablecoin, EURAU, to the Solana blockchain, extending the tokens reach to a high-speed network often used for payments and trading.  EURAU, which debuted last July on Ethereum, is fully reserved and issued under a regulated e-money framework aligned with the European Unions MiCA rules, the company said in an emailed statement. By adding Solana, AllUnity aims to offer faster settlement and lower transaction costs for euro-denominated transfers.  The setup allows businesses and developers to move euros onchain in seconds. Payments firms, for example, could send cross-border payouts to contractors in real time instead of waiting days for bank transfers, and the same mechanism can also support trading, lending or treasury management using a stable euro unit.  The move reflects growing interest in non-dollar stablecoins, especially in Europe, where firms seek digital assets that meet regulatory standards. While U.S. dollar tokens dominate the $300 billion stabelcoin market, euro-pegged tokens have seen rapid growth, doubling since the start of 2025 to almost $1 billion.  The S&P projected the market could reach 570 billion euros ($672 billion) by 2030. French Finance Minister Roland Lescure called for more euro-denominated stablecoins and urged

The Green Beret was just the start: New data suggests military insider trading crisis on Polymarket

A Green Berets alleged $400,000 insider bet on a raid in Venezuela seemed like an isolated breach. A new report suggests it may be the visible edge of something broader.  The Anti-Corruption Data Collective (ACDC), a nonprofit research group, analyzed every settled Polymarket contract from January 2021 through mid-March 2026 — more than 435,000 markets and $54.4 billion in cumulative volume — and found that low-probability bets on military and defense outcomes win at rates that are difficult to explain through skill or luck.  Across political markets, such “longshot” bets typically succeed about 14% of the time. In military-linked contracts, success rates have topped 50% in some cases.  “Markets tied to specific government policies, such as military and defense and foreign affairs, are harder to forecast using public information alone,” the authors wrote, making them “more susceptible to information asymmetries,” including insider trading or specialized knowledge.  In those markets, the gap between informed and uninformed traders may be widest, creating conditions in which a small group can consistently outperform not just by reacting faster, but by knowing more.  For its part, Polymarket touts its market surveillance teams and cooperation with the Department of Justice on the Venezuela case. Trading on confidential knowledge is prohibited on

Eli Lilly (LLY) Stock Climbs 5% on Strong Q1 Results and Upgraded Forecast

Domestic sales expanded 43% to reach $12.1 billion. Markets outside the United States contributed $7.7 billion, up 81%, demonstrating the global appetite for GLP-1 therapies.  Adjusted gross margin registered at 82.6%, declining modestly from the previous year as pricing dynamics on leading products created margin pressure.  Chief Executive David Ricks highlighted the momentum. “We delivered 56% revenue growth in the first quarter and raised our full-year revenue guidance by $2 billion,” he stated.  Lilly increased its 2026 revenue forecast to $82.0–$85.0 billion from the earlier $80.0–$83.0 billion range. The midpoint of $83.5 billion exceeds Wall Streets consensus estimate of $81.67 billion.  The company also elevated its adjusted EPS guidance to $35.50–$37.00, up from $33.50–$35.00 previously, with the revised midpoint of $36.25 beating the consensus of $34.53.  Foundayo Launch Generates Mixed Signals  The companys recently introduced oral GLP-1 medication Foundayo launched in early April, attracting significant attention as a competitive response to Novo Nordisk, which has established an early presence in the oral weight-loss medication category.  Foundayo captured 3,707 prescriptions across the United States during the week that concluded April 17 — approximately half the ~8,000 prescriptions Wall Street anticipated. This underwhelming initial performance represents a potential concern for market observers.  Ricks characterized the medication as one that will

Who Owns the Most Bitcoin in 2026 by Entity and Wallets?

Bitcoin ownership in 2026 remains spread across its creator, exchanges, ETF issuers, public companies, governments, private firms, and unknown wallets. Arkham data shows that Satoshi Nakamoto remains the largest identified Bitcoin holder when related wallets are grouped into one entity. The figures also show that major custodians and exchanges control large balances, often on behalf of customers rather than for direct corporate ownership.  Meanwhile, spot Bitcoin ETFs and treasury companies now account for a large share of tracked institutional holdings.  Satoshi Nakamoto Leads Bitcoin Holder Entity Rankings  Satoshi Nakamoto remains the largest Bitcoin-holding entity, according to Arkhams April 2026 breakdown. The Bitcoin creator is linked to about 1.096 million BTC, worth around $82 billion at current prices. the attribution is based on the Patoshi Pattern, a known early mining pattern connected to Satoshi-linked activity.  Arkham‘s research indicates that Satoshi acquired the holdings by mining about 22,000 blocks in Bitcoin’s early years. These holdings represent about 5.5% of Bitcoins total supply. The wallets remain central to Bitcoin ownership data because they have not shown regular movement over the years.  Coinbase ranks as the second-largest entity, with about 976,000 BTC. The figure includes assets held for the exchange and customers using its custody services. Coinbase controls about
