Fenwick & West has agreed to pay $54 million to settle a class action lawsuit filed by former FTX customers who accused the law firm of helping facilitate fraud at the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange.Fenwick & West has agreed to pay $54 million to settle claims that it helped FTX conceal the misuse of customer funds.Former FTX customers alleged that the law firm advised on legal structures tied to Alameda Research, North Dimension, and unlicensed financial operations.　　According to court filings tied to the proposed settlement, the Silicon Valley law firm reached the agreement after initially trying to dismiss the case brought by former FTX users in 2023.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) is emerging as a challenger to traditional exchanges and prediction markets, says FalconX

Crypto trading platform Hyperliquid is beginning to compete with traditional exchanges and prediction market operators as it expands beyond perpetual futures trading, according to a new report from FalconX.　　Senior crypto market strategist David Lawant outlined how Hyperliquid‘s recent moves into pre-IPO markets, prediction contracts and tokenized real-world assets are broadening the platform’s appeal beyond crypto-native traders.　　“Hyperliquid is seeing traction as demand for its HIP-3 markets expands to include pre-IPO markets,” the report said.　　Hyperliquid first gained traction through crypto perpetual futures, a type of derivatives contract that dominates offshore digital asset trading. The platforms native token, HYPE, has skyrocketed 94% over the past three months. But FalconX said newer products could push the platform into more direct competition with firms such as CME Group, Intercontinental Exchange-backed prediction market Kalshi and Polymarket.　　The report pointed to growing activity in Hyperliquids HIP-3 markets, which allow users to trade assets including equities, commodities, forex and pre-IPO contracts around the clock. FalconX said those markets gained attention after traders used them to speculate on companies such as Cerebras, Anthropic and SpaceX before public listings.　　The platform has also begun rolling out HIP-4 outcome markets, which function similarly to prediction markets by allowing traders to bet on binary

Chinese Yuan Hits 3-Year High Amid Iran Oil Deals as Petrodollar Threat Intensifies

As the strategic chokepoint of the Strait of Hormuz experiences severe supply disruptions in energy history due to the ongoing regional conflict, the long-debated emergence of the “petroyuan” is rapidly turning from a theoretical concept into an active market reality, leaving clear technical marks on the foreign exchange charts.　　Is the Petrodollar Dead？　　The traditional petrodollar system is facing its most significant structural challenge in half a century, but it is not collapsing overnight. The displacement of the dollar in Iranian energy settlements represents a localized erosion of greenback hegemony rather than an immediate liquidation of the global reserve currency.　　While the US dollar remains the dominant medium for international trade and liquid treasury markets, bilateral trade networks operating outside of the SWIFT system are expanding. Investors are closely monitoring how this monetary fragmentation will redirect global liquidity—and whether it will ultimately serve as a massive macro catalyst for decentralized digital assets.　　Petrodollar Analysis: The Yuans Bullish Run Against the Dollar　　A closer look at the weekly CNY/USD chart reveals the undeniable strength of the Renminbi over the past year. Following a cyclical bottom in late 2024 near 0.1365, CNY/USD entered a powerful, well-defined ascending channel.　　CNY/USD Weekly Chart Technical Highlights:Current Price: 0.1473 (3-Year High)Moving Average

Ripple EX-CTO Mocks Lawsuit Claiming Ownership of 3.7 Million Abandoned Bitcoins

A lawsuit filed in a New York court in May 2026 seeks to declare a claimant known as Noah Doe the legal owner of more than 39,000 dormant Bitcoin (BTC) wallets, targeting a combined 3.79 million BTC.　　They reported the addresses to the NYPD and sent on-chain and press notices to potential owners, though questions have since emerged about whether the notifications actually reached the wallets that hold the funds.　　Lawsuit Targets Satoshi Nakamotos Alleged Stash　　The amended complaint names wallets attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto alongside early miner addresses, Casascius Coin holdings, and wallets linked to hackers and unidentified entities. The combined face value of those addresses runs into hundreds of billions of dollars at current bitcoin prices. Recurring debates about Satoshis alleged Bitcoin holdings and the Bitcoin creators identity have long shown how difficult it is to attribute early wallets with any certainty.　　Ripple CTO David Schwartz, known on X as JoelKatz, offered a dry take on the case. One post had observed that a court might one day approve “something dumb like this” and that any such ruling would carry little practical weight. Schwartz, who recently flagged a major BitLocker security flaw and shared his meme coin investing views, agreed but carved

Programmable Privacy Is Live: Panther Protocol Deploys on Polygon

This community-driven milestone introduces a new primitive for decentralized finance: programmable privacy — infrastructure designed to enable confidential on-chain interactions while supporting verifiable compliance when required.　　The Panther interface is accessible at: https://pantherdao.app　　A New Phase for Privacy in DeFi　　Panther combines zero-knowledge cryptography, non-custodial architecture, and DAO governance to explore how privacy and accountability can coexist in decentralized environments.　　Users interact directly with smart contracts while retaining full control of their assets, with cryptographic proofs generated locally in their own browser or device.　　Compliance Without Surveillance　　The initial deployment includes a compliance-enabled zone powered by credentials issued by independent providers such as AMLBot via PureFi tooling.　　Participants present zero-knowledge attestations on-chain, allowing the protocol to verify eligibility without exposing personal data or transferring identity information to the DAO or protocol infrastructure.　　This model demonstrates a path toward privacy-preserving compliance compatible with institutional participation.　　Connected to Real DeFi　　The system is designed to integrate with existing decentralized liquidity sources, enabling confidential interactions without isolating users from broader DeFi markets.　　Panther Reward Points (PRPs)　　The network introduces Panther Reward Points (PRPs), a participation-based mechanism that recognizes protocol activity.　　Users accrue PRPs through actions such as interacting with privacy-enabled zones and other qualifying protocol interactions, according to rules defined by Panther DAO governance.　　PRPs are intended

Finance　　New Zealand Dollar: Rangebound versus US Dollar on RBNZ repricing – BBH　　Brown Brothers Harrimans (BBH) Elias Haddad expects the RBNZ to hold the Official Cash Rate (OCR) at 2.25% this week, while swaps price 125 bps of tightening over the next year.

How IronWallets Multi-Chain Support Works for Stablecoin Holders

Stablecoin holders in 2026 rarely sit on a single network. USDT exists as TRC-20 on Tron, ERC-20 on Ethereum, BEP-20 on BNB Chain, and SPL on Solana. USDC spans Ethereum, Solana, Base, Polygon, and other networks.　　Holding stablecoins across chains used to mean managing separate wallets per network, switching apps to check balances, and buying gas tokens just to move funds.　　IronWallet is a non-custodial multi-chain wallet with no KYC, 10,000+ supported assets, gasless stablecoin transfers, and WalletConnect Pay integration.　　The wallet handles assets across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Tron, Polygon, and Base, with broader IronWallet stablecoin features built around multi-chain crypto wallet 2026 workflows.　　Stablecoin Coverage Across the Networks IronWallet Supports　　Each of the major networks IronWallet supports carries its own stablecoin ecosystem:Ethereum: ERC-20 USDC, USDT, and DAI, the original stablecoin home where most institutional supply still livesTron: TRC-20 USDT, which carries roughly half of all USDT circulating supply and most peer-to-peer USDT transfer volume globallySolana: SPL USDC and USDT, with sub-second confirmations and near-zero transfer costsBNB Chain: BEP-20 USDT, USDC, and other major stablecoins with low fees and fast confirmationPolygon: USDC and USDT with Layer 2 efficiencyBase: Native USDC, increasingly common for Coinbase ecosystem stablecoin users　　One application covers all of the above.

Japanese Yen slides as Mideast uncertainty counters weak USD

Finance　　Japanese Yen slides as Mideast uncertainty counters weak USD　　The USD/JPY pair attracts some dip-buyers following a bearish gap opening on Monday and reclaims the 159.00 mark during the early part of the European session. Moreover, spot prices remain well within striking distance of a three-week high, touched last Thursday, and seem poised to appreciate further amid mixed signals over a potential US-Iran peace deal.　　Developments over the weekend fuel hopes for a potential deal to end a nearly three-month-long Iran war and boost investors‘ confidence, undermining the US Dollar’s (USD) reserve currency status. However, the US and Iran remained at odds over key issues, including blockades on the Strait of Hormuz and Tehrans nuclear program. US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he had told his representatives not to rush into any deal with Iran. This keeps geopolitical risks in play and caps the market enthusiasm.　　Furthermore, traders have nearly fully priced in at least one 25 basis points (bps) interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) in early 2027, which helps limit deeper USD losses. Meanwhile, investors remain worried about economic risks stemming from the continued disruption of energy supplies. This, in turn, undermines the Japanese Yen (JPY)

Why is the Australian Dollar rising despite weakening RBA rate hike odds?

Finance　　Why is the Australian Dollar rising despite weakening RBA rate hike odds？　　AUD/USD holds ground after two days of losses, trading around 0.7170 during the early European hours on Monday. The pair appreciates as the Australian Dollar (AUD) receives support from fading safe-haven demand in anticipation of the United States (US)-Iran accord. Current reports suggest that the two nations are nearing an agreement centered on a 60-day ceasefire extension.　　As part of a potential US-Iran peace deal, the Strait of Hormuz would reopen, Iran would clear the mines it deployed in the waterway and permit free shipping passage, and the United States would respond by lifting its current blockade on Iranian ports.　　However, the Australian Dollar may face upcoming challenges against the US Dollar as expectations for further monetary tightening by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) have weakened. This shift in sentiment follows a surprise rise in the nations jobless rate, which has dampened forecasts for future interest rate hikes.　　According to recent data, Australias unemployment rate unexpectedly climbed to 4.5% in April, up from 4.3% in March. This spike marks the highest jobless level the country has seen in about four and a half years.　　In response to the economic data, financial markets
