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

Eli Lilly and Company, LLY　　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

Gemini secures Derivatives Clearing Organisation (DCO) license

Crypto exchange Gemini has secured a Derivatives Clearing Organisation (DCO) license through its affiliate, Gemini Olympus, marking a major step in the companys push into regulated crypto derivatives and prediction markets in the United States.　　The approval was granted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, giving Gemini the authority to operate its own clearing infrastructure for derivatives products.　　The approval allows the company to clear and settle trades internally instead of relying on external clearing firms.　　It also expands Geminis regulatory footprint as competition intensifies among crypto exchanges seeking to establish regulated derivatives businesses in the US market.　　The company had previously secured a Designated Contract Market (DCM) license, which permits the listing and trading of derivatives products.　　With the addition of DCO status, Gemini can now handle clearing operations tied to those contracts.　　Gemini expands regulated derivatives infrastructure　　By operating its own clearinghouse, Gemini gains more direct control over how derivatives trades are processed and secured.　　According to regulatory filings tied to the approval, Gemini Olympus plans to support fully collateralised derivatives products, including futures, options, perpetual contracts, and event-based markets.　　The structure is also expected to support prediction market offerings connected to financial, economic, political, and sports-related outcomes.　　Gemini Titan, another affiliate linked to the companys derivatives infrastructure,

Best Alternative Staking Protocols for DeFi Yield in 2026

Standard staking pays one rate from one source. Lock ETH, secure the network, collect validator rewards. That model still works, but DeFi staking yield now extends into four distinct categories, each drawing returns from a different engine.　　The differences carry more weight in 2026 than they did a year ago. Volatile periods through 2025 stress-tested every model, and some held up better than others.　　Token emissions thinned out. Slashing exposure stacked higher than expected in restaking. Tokenized cashflow protocols quietly grew while the noisier categories made headlines.　　This piece maps the four categories of alternative staking protocols worth knowing in 2026, with current data on what each pays, where the yield originates, and how the structural risks shape each model.　　Treat it as a category map for picking where to put capital, not a ranked verdict.　　Top 4 Categories of Alternative Staking　　The four categories below pay yield from different sources and respond differently when market conditions shift. Liquid staking wraps ETH validator rewards in a transferable token.　　Restaking re-uses staked ETH to secure additional services. Tokenized financial yield routes capital into off-chain financial instruments. Production-linked yield draws returns from physical operations like commodity production.　　Each section below covers what the category does, who leads it, and what

WLFI Token Lock Vote Has Started: Price Drop

Tech　　WLFI Token Lock Vote Has Started: Price Drop　　The DeFi and stablecoin venture World Liberty Financial, linked to the Trump family, has officially launched the vote on the controversial WLFI token unlock proposal. A total of 62 billion WLFI tokens are subject to this vote, and if approved, they will enter circulation after a two-year waiting period. The proposal aims to replace existing uncertain locks with structured vesting programs; the 45 billion tokens allocated to the founding team, advisors, and early partners will follow a three-year linear vesting after a two-year cliff. The other tokens allocated to early protocol supporters will go through a two-year cliff and two-year vesting process. This move aims to provide clarity on future token supply while increasing low governance participation. The vote will last seven days and require a 1 billion WLFI token quorum.　　WLFI Vesting and Token Burn Proposal Details　　The project offered approximately 25 billion of its total 100 billion supply to investors in a few pre-sale rounds; although it initially even blocked token transfers and released some, pre-sale investors still hold a significant amount of tokens. The proposal text emphasizes that the governance token has been functional since launch and states that the ecosystem is

Solana price risks drop below $80 support as a rounded top forms

Solana price is forming a rounded top pattern on the 4-hour chart — April 30　　In Solanas case, the neckline of this formation sits near the $78–$80 region, which has acted as a strong support zone throughout April. A decisive breakdown below this level could accelerate downside momentum.　　Short-term moving averages are also starting to converge and turn lower, indicating weakening trend strength. Price is currently trading below key short-term averages, suggesting sellers are gaining control in the near term.　　If the rounded top confirms with a breakdown below $80, the next downside targets could emerge near the $75 level initially, with a deeper move potentially extending toward the $70 zone.　　The bearish technical setup aligns with a range of external factors weighing on Solanas outlook.　　The Federal Reserves hawkish stance on interest rates continues to drain liquidity from risk assets, while institutional demand has shown signs of cooling, with spot Solana ETF flows stalling in recent weeks.　　At the same time, on-chain activity has slowed, with decentralized exchange volumes declining sharply from earlier highs, reducing network-driven demand for SOL.　　Large holder activity has also added pressure, with a recent transfer of over 300,000 SOL to exchanges raising concerns about potential sell-side supply.　　Despite these bearish signs, if
