Fed chair Jerome Powell says he will stay on as Govenor after term amid legal pressure

Current Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell will continue to stay on the central banks board as Governor after his term ends in May.　　Speaking at a press conference following the central banks decision to hold interest rates steady at 3.5%-3.75% on Wednesday, Powell voiced concerns about the legal action against the central bank, saying it is causing him to stay, even though he plans to keep a “low profile.”　　“I worry that these attacks are battering the institution and putting at risk the thing that really matters to the public, which is the ability to conduct monetary policy without taking into consideration political factors,” Powell said.　　When the administration of President Donald Trump closed its criminal investigation into Powell, it left room to revisit the case. Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said the matter would stay under review by the Feds inspector general and warned prosecutors could reopen it if new facts emerged.　　That statement, along with later remarks from President Donald Trump and his aides, raised concern that Powell could still face legal pressure. Powell said even though he wanted to leave, he had “no choice” but to stay.　　Fed leave rates unchanged　　The Fed‘s rate hold came as expected,

Tether proposes merger of XXI, Strike, Elektron Energy into public entity

Tech　　Tether proposes merger of XXI, Strike, Elektron Energy into public entity　　Tether Investments has proposed merging Twenty-One Capital, Strike, and Elektron Energy into a single publicly traded entity. Bitcoin reaching $80,000 in April sits at 2.8% YES.　　The proposed merger would consolidate a financial services platform operating in over 100 countries and a mining operation with 50 EH/s capacity. The market for Bitcoin reaching $80,000 in April has dropped sharply, from 72% a week ago to 2.8% today. The $150,000 target sits at 0.1% YES.　　The collapse in odds happened despite the merger‘s scale. Daily volume is $51,800 in USDC, and the largest recent move was a 6-point spike at 9:50 AM. Traders clearly don’t expect the merger to move Bitcoin‘s price toward $80,000 within April’s remaining window.　　The merger would put Bitcoin financial services and mining under one publicly traded company, a direct signal of Tethers strategic direction. At 3¢, a YES share pays $1 if Bitcoin hits $80,000 by April, a 33.3x return. That payout requires a rapid price move that almost no one in the market is pricing in.　　Watch for regulatory responses or large institutional moves, specifically ETF net inflows or strategic Bitcoin acquisitions from actors like BlackRock or Fidelity.

Stables Surges 466% YoY, Expands Asia Presence with eStable Collaboration

Tech　　Stables Surges 466% YoY, Expands Asia Presence with eStable CollaborationAs Stables moves toward a complete stablecoin infrastructure layer, the cooperation represents a major step. Following its recent cooperation with Mansa, this news represents an important turning point in a series of strategic alliances for Stables.　　Leading digital payments platform Stables today established a strategic alliance with eStable to combine local stablecoin issuance capabilities with institutional-grade banking infrastructure. Through the partnership, Stables‘ developer clients may utilize institutional rails for smooth transitions between fiat and stablecoins. By enabling institutional settlement and local currency stablecoin issuance backed by USDT and Tether’s Hadron, this integration broadens Stables primary service outside USDT corridors.　　As Stables moves toward a complete stablecoin infrastructure layer, the cooperation represents a major step. Developers may now open new use cases, like as the direct minting of local stablecoins in important Asian regions, by using eStables technology. In an area where only 1% of local banks presently collaborate closely with stablecoins, the action responds to the increasing need for compliant, programmable rails.　　“We started by building the developer platform for accessing USDT in Asia,” said Bernardo Bilotta, CEO and Co-founder of Stables. “With eStable, we are going deeper, giving developers worldwide access to institutional

AVAX Price Prediction: $12-15 Target Within 3 Weeks as Technical Setup Aligns

Technical Analysis Shows Accumulation Phase　　AVAX trades at $9.29 with technical indicators displaying neutral momentum that masks underlying accumulation activity. The RSI reading of 49.54 sits in dead-center territory, while the MACD histogram hovers near zero, creating a technical stalemate that typically precedes directional moves.　　Price action within the Bollinger Bands reveals subtle strength, holding 40% up the range despite lackuster momentum indicators. This positioning suggests buyer support exists even without visible bullish catalysts. The moving average cluster between $9.31-$9.36 acts as a gravitational pull, keeping price action compressed in a narrow range that often characterizes smart money accumulation phases.　　Derivatives Data Reveals Positioning Divergence　　The options and futures markets show contrasting sentiment between retail and institutional positioning. Retail traders maintain 58% long exposure, typical of momentum-chasing behavior, while larger position holders show 64% long concentration. This divergence between retail and institutional positioning often precedes upward price movements when technical conditions align.　　Market microstructure reveals active profit-taking with a 0.63 taker buy/sell ratio, indicating near-term distribution pressure. However, analysts at Blockchain.news note this creates optimal conditions for institutional accumulation as weak hands transfer holdings to stronger buyers. The $87 million open interest provides sufficient depth for meaningful position building without premature price discovery.　　Price Path Probability

Peter Schiff Continues to Go After MicroStrategy, But Is He Right This Time?

Peter Schiff renewed his attack on Strategy‘s Bitcoin accumulation playbook. He argued the firm’s growing share of the supply has done nothing to support the BTC price.　　The longtime gold advocate posted from outside the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas. He claimed his sell warning from last year had been validated by a sharp price drop.　　A Year of Buying, A Year of Falling Prices　　Schiff highlighted a stark contrast between Strategy‘s accumulation pace and Bitcoin’s price action over the past 12 months. The firm controlled 2.76% of total Bitcoin (BTC) supply at last years Vegas conference. It now holds 3.9%, a 40% increase in market share.　　That growing dominance failed to put a floor under the market. Bitcoin traded near $110,000 when Schiff spoke at the 2025 event. The asset has since fallen to about $76,000, a 30% slide. The drop has reignited debate over the death spiral thesis Schiff has pushed for months.　　A year ago at the Vegas Bitcoin conference, $MSTR owned 2.76% of the total Bitcoin supply. A year later, it owns 3.9%. A 40% increase in market share didn‘t stop Bitcoin from falling by 30%. If MSTR gets to 5% of supply by next year’s conference, why should Bitcoin

Bitcoins (BTC) greatest days are here, says Eric Trump

Las Vegas — Eric Trump took the stage at Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas with a message: the asset‘s best days aren’t ahead, theyre already here.　　The American Bitcoin (ABTC) co-founder and chief strategy officer declared that the convergence of institutional adoption, corporate treasuries, and mainstream financial access has made this bitcoins most important moment to date.　　“What bitcoin has done in the last six months relative to the previous three years is transformational,” said Trump. “We are in the greatest period Ive ever seen.”　　Trump pointed to major banks now offering bitcoin-backed mortgages and custody services as evidence of a Wall Street reversal. “People are not selling it. People are holding it. Bitcoin is becoming sticky,” Trump said, adding that limited supply and growing demand from both institutions and sovereign governments are compressing the market structurally.　　Moderator Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg‘s senior ETF analyst, framed the shift through the lens of the ETF market, noting that bitcoin ETFs have been among the most successful product launches in the instrument’s history, democratizing access for everyday investors in a way previously reserved for institutions.　　“I‘ll ride out the volatility,” said Trump. “We’ll see who wins in a 10-year period of time.”

US Court Sentences French National to 8 Years in $470M Crypto Laundering Case

Authorities sentenced a French national to eight years for running a laundering operation.Investigators said the network moved more than $470 million through banks and shell companies.Forfeiture orders target millions in commissions and accounts as enforcement actions continue.　　U.S. Sentence Highlights $470M Laundering Scheme　　A U.S. court on April 28, 2026, sentenced French national Maximilien de Hoop Cartier to eight years in prison over a crypto-linked laundering network. The case focused on an unlicensed exchange that moved illicit funds through U.S. banks, shell companies, and accounts. Authorities said Cartier helped launder more than $470 million tied to criminal proceeds.　　Cartier pleaded guilty in October 2025 to operating an unlicensed money transmitting business and conspiracy to commit bank fraud. Prosecutors said he ran an exchange that turned digital assets into traditional currency for criminal clients. “Maximilien de Hoop Cartier exploited his knowledge of U.S. and international financial systems to launder drug money and other crime proceeds,” U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton said, adding:　　“De Hoop Cartier created a network of shell companies and accounts to wash and conceal criminal proceeds. He used that network to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars from the United States to overseas criminal organizations, fueling their continued illicit operations.”　　“Stopping money laundering stops

Trump reviews US troop levels in Germany amid Iran standoff

Tech　　Trump reviews US troop levels in Germany amid Iran standoff　　Donald Trump announced a review of US troop levels in Germany, adding a new variable to the US-Iran standoff. The odds for a US declaration of war on Iran by December 31, 2026, sit at 7.5% YES.　　Market reaction　　The review signals a possible shift in US military posture that could affect markets tied to the Iran conflict. On the US declaration of war on Iran by December 31, 2026 contract, odds have dipped slightly from 8% yesterday, a minor move in trader sentiment. The April 30 market is flat at 0.1% YES with one day left to resolve.　　Why it matters　　The term structure shows a 7-point gap between the April 30 and December 31 contracts, meaning traders see potential catalysts later in the year rather than imminently. This coincides with congressional hearings where Pentagon officials faced questions about the underestimated $25 billion cost of the US-Iran war.　　What to watch　　The war declaration market has daily face value trading of $84,733, but actual USDC traded is just $321. It takes $2,998 to move the December contract 5 points, making it moderately liquid. Price movement over the last 24 hours was negligible.　　The contrarian angle here is

Amazon eyes AI hardware sales as Nvidia market cap odds shift

Tech　　Amazon eyes AI hardware sales as Nvidia market cap odds shift　　Amazon CEO Andy Jassy hinted at selling Trainium racks due to high demand, while the Polymarket contract on NVIDIA being the largest company by market cap on June 30 sits at 86% YES, down from 92% a day ago.　　Market reaction　　The NVIDIA June 30 market dropped eight points from 92% to 86% YES over the last 24 hours, with $8,602 in daily USDC volume. Traders are repricing NVIDIAs position as Amazon moves toward competing directly in AI hardware sales rather than just using custom chips internally.　　Why it matters　　The May 31 contract remains at 93.8% YES, so the eight-point spread between May 31 and June 30 suggests traders see a possible inflection point in June. Amazon selling Trainium racks would directly compete with NVIDIAs data center GPU business and reduce customer dependence on NVIDIA hardware. With 62 days to resolution, the June contract is reacting to that competitive threat.　　What to watch　　At 86%, buying YES at 86¢ pays 1.16x if NVIDIA retains the top spot. The market requires $13,111 to move the price 5 points, indicating meaningful liquidity. Key catalysts: further Amazon announcements on Trainium rack availability and pricing, and any NVIDIA earnings
