⚖️ Kalshi Faces Major Legal Setback Over Prediction Markets A U.S. appeals court ruled that Nevada can enforce its gaming laws against Kalshi’s sports event contracts, rejecting Kalshi’s claim that only the CFTC can regulate them. The decision conflicts with an earlier ruling favoring Kalshi, creating a federal court split that could push the issue toward the U.S. Supreme Court. Kalshi says it will seek further review as regulators and prediction-market platforms continue battling over state vs. federal oversight. #Kalshi #PredictionMarkets #Crypto #CFTC

Solana Validators Approve Faster SOL Supply Reduction 🚀 Solana validators approved a proposal to double the annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30%, with 67% voting in favor. The change could bring solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 ’s long-term 1.5% inflation target in about 2.8 years instead of 5.7 years, potentially reducing future supply by 18.9M SOL over six years. This could reduce dilution for SOL holders, but also lower staking rewards for validators and delegators. #Solana #SOL #Crypto #Blockchain #DeFi

BIS Chief Warns Stablecoins May Not Scale as Everyday Money BIS General Manager Pablo Hernández de Cos said stablecoins are not a credible means of payment at scale, arguing that tokenized bank deposits offer a stronger model for everyday transactions. He said stablecoins and tokenized deposits could coexist, with stablecoins serving more specialized use cases. However, large-scale stablecoin adoption could shift funds away from bank deposits, increasing banks’ funding costs and potentially raising borrowing costs for consumers. De Cos also warned about limited interoperability, AML enforcement challenges and the risk that widespread dollar-pegged stablecoin use could weaken monetary sovereignty in some countries. #Stablecoins #BIS #Tokenization #Crypto #DigitalAssets

Hyperliquid Opens the Door to Permissionless HIP-4 Markets Hyperliquid founder Jeff said permissionless HIP-4 deployments will be enabled in the network’s next upgrade.

The upgrade could significantly expand Hyperliquid’s permissionless market infrastructure and give developers more freedom to create new onchain trading markets. #Hyperliquid #HIP4 #HYPE #DeFi #Crypto

Rain Card Exploit Drains $500K From 1,685 Users An attacker exploited an outdated Rain Solana contract linked to Avici’s Visa card infrastructure, draining $500,859 from the balances of 1,685 users.
