The committee said Monday that it has since received nearly 1,000 documents and five briefings from representatives of Polymarket and Kalshi as it continues examining whether prediction markets have adequate safeguards against traders using sensitive information. The latest letters extend that scrutiny beyond dedicated prediction market platforms. For Hyperliquid, lawmakers specifically pointed to a large leveraged crypto short opened before President Donald Trump announced new China tariffs in October 2025. Public blockchain data showed a trader opened roughly $1.1 billion in leveraged Bitcoin and Ether shorts about 30 hours before the announcement and later closed the positions for more than…

However, those numbers alone don’t reveal how many different traders generated such activity. In this case, a large share of Kalshi’s volume came from the same set of recurring trade sizes, making it important to understand what was driving the pattern. One trade size drove 57% of Kalshi’s ether perp volume. (Shaurya Malwa/CoinDesk) The pattern predates that four-day sample. In 43 of 46 one-hour samples CoinDesk examined between June 19 and Sept. 20, ether trades repeatedly clustered around recurring specific dollar targets. The prevailing trade size accounted for about 45% of the value across those samples and more than half…

How WAVIST’s K-pop IP bond sets up the partnership WAVIST’s earlier bond provides the clearest example of the financial activity behind the new deal. According to the announcement, WAVIST issued the tokenized bond in May to finance K-pop IP, then carried it through final redemption and the burning of its tokens. Issuance brought the bond into circulation, while redemption completed its repayment process. Burning removed the redeemed tokens from circulation. The companies cited that full sequence as evidence that WAVIST can manage an entertainment financing product through its entire onchain life cycle. The announcement did not identify the bond’s issuer,…

Why is Ethereum price struggling below $2,800? Ethereum’s immediate problem remains the $2,750-$2,800 region, where the September rally stalled. The daily chart places $ETH near $2,690 after recovering from the June lows around $1,500 and forming higher lows through the summer. A previous Ethereum rejection near $2,800 showed sellers stepping in around the same zone on Sept. 23. $ETH reached roughly $2,789 before falling toward $2,648, leaving $2,800 as a level buyers still need to clear. On the current daily chart, the 14-day RSI stands at 62.69, just below its moving average near 64.02. Momentum therefore remains above the neutral…

Both parent laws, due to kick in from February 4, 2027, will expand the scope of tokenization in the country. The current regime only permits fractional investment products to be represented on the blockchain. The proposal presented today will expand the umbrella to cover conventional securities, including stocks, bonds and funds. The FSC’s statement confirmed that it will put it alongside non-monetary trust beneficiary certificates and investment contract securities. The rollout is progressing according to the phased, but flexible timeline laid out by the regulator on September 4. Stage 1: Privately placed money market funds and bonds for institutional investors,…

Healey appeared to suggest that a “$BTC account” is an equally financially irresponsible form of finance, and that only by pairing it with Truss would you recreate the “fantasy funding” ideals of Nigel Farage. Sky News coverage of Labour’s 2026 party conference. Healey’s $BTC comment shows ‘staggering ignorance’ Healey’s comments upset a lot of Bitcoiners, who claimed his “derogatory” description of a “$BTC account” demonstrated “staggering ignorance.” Freddie New, CEO of the $BTC Lightning transaction fee firm B HODL, said Healey is “gleefully ignorant that he thinks it is possible to have a ‘$BTC account.’” UK podcaster Peter McCormack said,…

JUST IN: BitMine stakes more than 5 million $ETH as annualized staking revenue reaches $334 millionThe company has now staked 5.07 million $ETH, worth about $12.6 billion, generating an annualized yield of roughly $334 million as it continues expanding its Ethereum treasury. pic.twitter.com/WnQxx71Dop — crypto.news (@cryptodotnews) September 15, 2026 That missing split is where the serious decentralization question begins.
