Powell: US economy growing at solid pace despite Iran war energy shock

Tech　　Powell: US economy growing at ‘solid pace’ despite Iran war energy shock　　Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US economy has been expanding at a “solid pace” amid the Iran war energy shock, with consumer spending and data center investment holding strong. On Polymarket, the odds of no change in Fed interest rates after the July 2026 meeting sit at 85.5%, while a 25 bps rate cut after the June 2026 meeting trades at just 3.6%.　　Powells characterization of growth as “solid” reduces the case for rate cuts and both the Fed Decision June market and Fed Decision July market reflect that. The July no-change contract at 85.5% and the June cut contract at 3.6% show traders pricing in a Fed that stays put. Combined volume across these markets is $506,803 in actual USDC traded.　　The 85.5% odds on no July rate change tell a specific story: traders believe the Iran war energy shock has been less damaging to the US economy than feared, and that Powells assessment of consumer spending and data center investment strength is accurate. A Fed that sees “solid” growth has little reason to ease.　　At 3.6¢, a YES share on a June 2026 rate cut pays $1 if

Brazil Senate rejects Lulas Supreme Court nominee, impacting 2026 election strategy

Brazil‘s Senate rejected President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s nominee for the Supreme Court, a direct setback for his administration ahead of the 2026 presidential election. The market for Tarcísio de Freitas winning the 2026 Brazilian presidential race has not yet updated with new odds.　　Market reaction　　The market for Tarcísio de Freitas‘ potential victory is currently inactive, with no significant volume or price moves recorded. Traders appear to still be processing the implications of the Senate vote. The rejection weakens Lula’s hand in shaping the judiciary, which in Brazilian politics frequently decides major constitutional and policy disputes.　　Why it matters　　The failed nomination exposes cracks in Lulas Senate coalition with the October 2026 election approaching. The Supreme Court in Brazil rules on everything from electoral disputes to economic policy, so losing a seat appointment is not just symbolic. If Lula cannot hold his coalition together on judicial nominations, his ability to pass legislation and project strength as a candidate comes into question. Opposition figures like Tarcísio de Freitas benefit directly from that perception of weakness.　　What to watch　　A potential 15% movement in Tarcísio de Freitas‘ odds would represent a meaningful recalibration for traders. Key signals to monitor: whether Lula attempts another nominee and how

The ‘tokenization of everything’ is no longer a theory

For a decade, the crypto industry has gathered at Consensus to discuss what was coming next. This year, something different is happening. The future has started arriving.　　Real-world assets are being minted onchain. Stablecoins are quietly becoming the connective tissue of global commerce. Prediction markets are turning probability into a tradable asset class. The institutions that once dismissed all of this – Morgan Stanley, Nasdaq, the NYSE, DTCC, SWIFT, Franklin Templeton – are now sending their senior people to Miami to talk about how they fit in.　　When Consensus 2026 convenes May 5–7 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, it won‘t feel like a conference about crypto’s potential. It will feel like a summit about what happens next now that crypto‘s promise has become the financial industry’s new reality.　　The institutions have landed　　For years, traditional finance circled the crypto industry from a cautious distance. That distance has collapsed.　　The 2026 speaker roster reads like a who‘s-who of institutional legitimacy: Mastercard, PayPal, T. Rowe Price, Nasdaq, NYSE, Morgan Stanley, SWIFT, and DTCC alongside crypto’s foundational builders. The sponsor list tells the same story: JPMorgan, Fidelity, Coinbase, Google, Bridge by Stripe, Broadridge, Circle, Grayscale, FTSE Russell and more. These are not exploratory delegations. They are bets.　　“Consensus

276 Arrested as Global Operation Topples Crypto Scam Compounds

At least 276 individuals have been arrested, and 9 crypto scam centers dismantled following a coordinated international effort. 　　The crackdown was the result of cooperation among the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Dubai Police, and the Chinese Ministry of Public Security.　　Authorities Charge Six in Global Crypto “Pig-Butchering” Takedown　　According to the official release, Dubai Police arrested 275 of the suspects. The Royal Thai Police arrested an additional defendant.　　Moreover, federal prosecutors charged six defendants with federal fraud and money laundering. The six accused allegedly managed, worked at, or recruited for companies that ran scam centers.　　The compounds preyed on American victims, who collectively lost millions of dollars to such schemes. All six defendants are accused of orchestrating crypto investment scams commonly referred to as “pig-butchering.”　　A pig-butchering scam is a fraud where criminals build a fake romantic or friendly relationship online over weeks or months. They then lure victims into investing in fraudulent crypto or trading platforms, and then take everything.　　US Attorney Adam Gordon framed the operation as a turning point for cross-border fraud enforcement.　　“These scammers thought they were safe half a world away. But their world has changed. Global crime now faces global justice,” he said.　　The arrests follow a broader push by the US

The DXY steadies following a hawkish hold from the US Federal Reserve (Fed).　　The US central bank on Wednesday kept the key interest rate in a range between 3.50% and 3.75%.

Powell further stated that he would stay on the Board of Governance for an indefinite period, even after his chairmanship ends.　　Markets are now pricing in nearly a 55% probability of a Fed rate hike by April 2027, sharply up from roughly 20% before the decision, according to Reuters.　　Traders will take more cues from the preliminary reading of the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the first quarter (Q1) and
