Ethereum is still in recovery mode, but the rebound is starting to look more organized than before. The asset continues to hold above the February base and is pressing closer to a key breakout area, which suggests buyers are gradually gaining confidence even if the larger trend has not fully turned yet.

The descending structure from the prior months…

This marked a 1,110.62% surge in…
Prediction market platform Kalshi faces a proposed class action from traders who say the exchange should have paid out bets tied to a market on whether Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei would leave office. The disputed market attracted about $54 million in trading volume before it was halted following reports of US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran. According to a Bloomberg Law report, the complaint filed in the US District Court for the Central District of California argues that Kalshi’s market rules led traders to expect payouts if Khamenei left office. The lawsuit claims the platform did not clearly disclose…

Blockchain oracle network Pyth has unveiled what it calls the first continuously updating crude oil composite index, designed to fill pricing gaps left by traditional commodity markets that operate on fixed trading schedules. The Pyth 24/7 Oil Index aggregates both onchain and offchain data, pulling from institutional trading desks and exchanges during regular hours and from decentralized derivatives venues during nights, weekends, and holidays.

The minutes from the Federal Reserve’s latest interest rate meeting indicated that further rate cuts may become more likely if inflation declines as expected. According to the minutes, some members believed that monetary policy easing could continue if the downward trend in inflation persisted, while the majority thought that inflation might fall at a slower pace than generally anticipated.

Board members Christopher Waller and Stephen Miran called for a 25 basis point rate cut. The committee also…
The New York Stock Exchange has agreed to pay a $9 million penalty to settle charges brought by the US Securities and Exchange Commission over a 2023 technology glitch that disrupted the opening of trading in thousands of stocks.

That resulted in the exchange bypassing the standard opening auction for more than 2,800 listed stocks when markets opened on January 24.…
