CFTC pulls Wisconsin into fight over prediction market jurisdiction

The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Tuesday sued the state of Wisconsin in the agencys latest effort to assert jurisdiction over prediction markets after the state sued multiple platforms.　　The CFTC said in a statement that it filed the lawsuit against Wisconsin “in response to the states lawsuits against Kalshi, Polymarket, Crypto.com, Robinhood, and Coinbase, five CFTC-regulated prediction markets.”　　“States cannot circumvent the clear directive of Congress,” CFTC Chairman Michael Selig said. “Our message to Wisconsin is the same as to New York, Arizona, and others: if you interfere with the operation of federal law in regulating financial markets, we will sue you.”　　It is the agencys fifth lawsuit against a US state that seeks to halt action against prediction markets. The CFTC sued New York on Friday and filed lawsuits against Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois earlier this month after the states sued prediction market platforms.　　Michael Selig speaking on stage at Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas on Monday.

TRX Price Prediction: Relief Rally to $0.35 Before $0.28 Breakdown

Current Market Position　　TRON trades at $0.32 in a consolidation phase that masks underlying weakness. The MACD histogram sits at zero with converging signal lines, indicating momentum has completely flatlined after multiple rejections at the $0.33 resistance level. RSI readings around 52 show neither bulls nor bears have established control, but derivatives data reveals where smart money is positioning.　　The negative funding rate of -0.0146% demonstrates shorts are confident enough to pay longs for holding positions. This metric, combined with daily volume of just $24 million, suggests institutional interest remains minimal while retail traders remain trapped in sideways action.　　Technical Structure Analysis　　Price action has created a narrow range between $0.32 support and $0.33 resistance, with the 7-day moving average acting as dynamic resistance. The Bollinger Bands show a squeeze pattern with TRX hugging the lower band, typically preceding volatile moves. Each attempt to reclaim $0.33 has been met with immediate selling pressure, creating a clear rejection zone.　　The 200-day moving average sits at $0.30, representing the next major support level if current consolidation breaks down. With TRX trading 6.7% above this long-term average, there remains significant downside potential before reaching oversold conditions that might attract institutional buying.　　Derivative Signals Point Lower　　Top traders maintain a 53.4%

Ukrainian drone attack ignites Tuapse oil refinery, escalating energy strikes

Tech　　Ukrainian drone attack ignites Tuapse oil refinery, escalating energy strikes　　A Ukrainian drone attack has again set ablaze the Tuapse oil refinery, continuing Kyivs campaign against Russian energy infrastructure. The odds of a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire by April 30 sit at 0% YES, unchanged from 24 hours ago.　　Market reaction　　The April 30 ceasefire market is stuck at 0%, while the May 31 market sits at 4% YES, down from 4% a day ago. The term structure shows a 3-point increase over 31 days, pointing to a slow timeline for any resolution.　　Total USDC traded in the ceasefire markets is $2,461 over the past 24 hours, with $865 required to move the April 30 odds by 5 points. This thin liquidity means even small trades can cause large price swings, though no major moves have followed the latest attack. The largest recent spike was a 50-point jump at 11:40 AM, which quickly reverted to baseline.　　Why it matters　　Repeated strikes on Tuapse, one of Russia‘s major refining facilities, represent an escalation in Ukraine’s targeting of energy infrastructure. This pattern of attacks is hard to square with any near-term ceasefire, and the market pricing reflects that disconnect between battlefield activity and diplomatic timelines.　　What to watch　　Official statements from the

Why the U.S. Crypto Clarity Act Is Stalling in Congress? Dennis Porter Explains

The post Why the U.S. Crypto Clarity Act Is Stalling in Congress？ Dennis Porter Explains appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News　　WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. crypto legislation known as the Clarity Act has a “50-50 shot” of passing Congress as lawmakers negotiate disputes over ethics rules, crypto rewards, and regulatory oversight ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, according to Satoshi Action Fund CEO Dennis Porter.　　The bill, aimed at creating clearer rules for digital assets in the United States, is considered one of the crypto industrys top policy priorities.　　“In my opinion, we still have a chance to pass clarity. I would put it at about a 50-50 shot,” Porter said.　　Why the Clarity Act Is Being Delayed　　In an interview, Porter said the clarity act is currently stalled by disagreements tied to ethics provisions, BRCA-related language, crypto yield products, and concerns among Democrats about vacancies at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).　　“The big thing that‘s holding this up right now are certain concerns around ethics, certain concerns around the BRCA language,” Porter said. “We’re also seeing concerns from Democrats about their seats being filled on the CFTC.”　　He said negotiations are largely happening behind closed doors and suggested lawmakers are likely to reach compromises rather

Bitcoin　　Block Unveils Proof-of-Reserves for Bitcoin Holdings and ProductsAnyone may verify Blocks holdings independently using on-chain signatures, according to Block.Even though they are the largest corporation in the world holding Bitcoin, Strategy has yet to provide a proof-of-reserve.　　Coincident with the increasing number of cryptocurrency firms demonstrating their holdings onchain, online payment provider Block has introduced proof-of-reserves for its corporate Bitcoin treasury as well as its two main products, Cash App and Square.　　After unveiling the proof-of-reserves feature and other new features in Las Vegas on Monday, the Jack Dorsey-led business said in a post on X that users should be able to verify the whereabouts of their bitcoin rather than having to believe that it is there.　　Proof-of-Reserves Gained Popularity　　Anyone may verify Block‘s holdings independently using on-chain signatures, according to Block.

Judge Kaplan Rejects SBFs FTX Evidence Request

Tech　　Judge Kaplan Rejects SBFs FTX Evidence Request　　Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried‘s new motion request, presented with new evidence to prove the company was financially solvent at the time of its bankruptcy, was politely rejected by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan. In an order issued Tuesday in the Southern District of New York court, Kaplan described the evidence as “baseless” and ruled on it himself despite Bankman-Fried’s recusal request. Although the defense tried to convince the court with arguments emphasizing FTXs solvency, the judge found the claims insufficient. Bankman-Fried withdrew this motion last week, stating he could not get a fair hearing from Kaplan. The appeals process is still ongoing.　　Judge Kaplan‘s Criticism of ’Wild Conspiracy Theories　　In the original motion filed in February, Bankman-Fried accused the Department of Justice of withholding information; he highlighted the testimonies of Ryan Salame and Daniel Chapsky, arguing that both were too afraid to testify. FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Salame pleaded guilty in 2024 and was sentenced to 90 months in prison. Chapsky was referred to as FTXs former head of data science. In response, Kaplan emphasized that Bankman-Fried could have compelled or requested these testimonies but took no steps to do so. The judge dismissed the
