As Robinhood accelerates its layout in the prediction market, it has proactively excluded certain contract products due to concerns that they may foster market manipulation and insider trading risks. Robinhood UK President Jordan Sinclair stated that the company is highly attentive to market abuse issues and will not offer all prediction markets or event contracts to users, but will selectively launch products that are more suitable for customers.Recently, several "precise betting" incidents have raised regulatory concerns. For example, there were unusually large bets placed on Polymarket before U.S. actions against Iran; Israeli regulators have also sued two individuals who used confidential information to place bets. Additionally, "mention markets" (such as words that will appear in a speech being bet on) have been explicitly excluded from Robinhood's product range due to their susceptibility to manipulation.Currently, Robinhood primarily provides compliant prediction market services through partnerships with Kalshi and ForecastEx, prioritizing regulated platforms to reduce information abuse and cross-border compliance risks. In contrast, the less regulated Polymarket allows users to trade through cryptocurrency wallets with relatively loose identity verification.Robinhood previously anticipated that prediction markets would become an important growth engine, with CEO Vlad Tenev stating that this business could become one of the fastest-growing segments by 2025, potentially driving the formation of a trillion-dollar annual trading scale in the future.

In April 2026, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued stablecoin issuer licenses to the first batch of institutions, including Anchorpoint Financial Limited, a joint venture established by Standard Chartered Bank Hong Kong (SCBHK), Hong Kong Telecommunications (HKT), and Animoca Brands. Anchorpoint plans to gradually issue the Hong Kong dollar-pegged stablecoin HKDAP (i.e., "Hong Kong dollar equivalent") starting in the second quarter of this year, using a B2B2C model to provide access channels to the public through authorized distributors.The company focuses on scenarios such as the settlement and distribution of tokenized real assets, cross-border capital, and payment flows, aiming to promote the upgrade of financial infrastructure in Hong Kong and the Asia region. Bill Winters, CEO of Standard Chartered Group, stated that the issuance of HKDAP will drive the restructuring of financial markets and promote the development of a new generation of international trade. Anchorpoint was officially established in 2025, and its predecessor was approved to join the Monetary Authority's stablecoin issuer sandbox program in 2024. This approval marks an important step for Hong Kong in building its digital asset ecosystem.

Amid a significant rebound in Bitcoin whale activity and a sharp decline in inflows to trading platforms, traders are setting Bitcoin's target price at $88,000. This week, after four days of consolidation between $70,000 and $72,000, Bitcoin reached an intraday high of $73,255 on Friday.The current price structure resembles the breakout trend of the second quarter of 2025—at that time, the price had long been consolidating below the moving averages, and once it broke the descending trend line, it quickly surged to the next supply zone. Currently, $76,000 constitutes a key trigger point, which also corresponds to the upper boundary of the descending trend line formed since Bitcoin's decline from around $126,000. Once broken, the psychological resistance that has suppressed rebounds for the past few months may be eliminated.On-chain data shows that crypto analyst Amr Taha pointed out that in the past 30 days, inflows of Bitcoin from whales to exchanges have dropped to $2.96 billion, marking the first time since June 2025 that it has fallen below $3 billion, while this figure was as high as $8 billion in February this year. Meanwhile, as of April 9, long-term holders have realized a market value change of $49 billion, indicating that accumulation behavior has restarted.Taha stated that these indicators collectively reflect that chips are shifting from weak hands to strong hands, showing a trend of steady accumulation rather than aggressive selling. The CoinGlass liquidity map shows that a large amount of visible liquidity is concentrated in the $86,000 to $90,000 range.

As of April 5, the company held 4,803,334 ETH (accounting for 3.98% of the total circulating supply), of which 3,334,637 ETH has been staked, yielding an annualized staking income of approximately $196 million; additionally, it holds 198 BTC and $864 million in cash, with total consolidated assets of approximately $11.4 billion.Morgan Stanley (NYSE: $MS) subsidiary Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust officially listed on NYSE Arca on April 8, with the stock code $MSBT, becoming the first Bitcoin spot ETF issued by a traditional Wall Street bank; over 1.6 million shares were traded on the first day, recording a net inflow of approximately $34 million; Coinbase Global, Inc.

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Bitcoin futures market continues to weaken. Data shows that the average daily open interest (OI) in March 2026 has fallen below $8 billion, further dropping to about $7.2 billion in early April, marking a new low since February 2024, and it has declined for the fifth consecutive month. Meanwhile, the monthly trading volume in March fell to $163 billion, nearly halving from the peak of January 2025.Market analysis indicates that this round of decline is primarily due to large-scale liquidations of "basis trades." Previously, institutions profited from price differences by buying spot ETFs and shorting CME futures, which was the core driving force behind the growth of CME positions. However, as Bitcoin prices have retreated from a high of $120,000 to below $70,000, the annualized basis yield has significantly compressed. Currently, the basis yield of about 5% is close to the risk-free interest rate level of about 4.5%. When factoring in funding costs and counterparty risks, the arbitrage space has essentially disappeared, prompting leveraged funds to withdraw.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov stated that The Open Network (TON) has completed a major upgrade, increasing block generation speed by 6 times, overall performance improved by about 10 times, and transaction confirmation time has been reduced to sub-second levels, achieving a "near-instant" transaction experience.TON officials stated that this upgrade is based on Catchain 2, and the previous confirmation time of about 10 seconds limited instant payments and application response experiences, while this upgrade will make it possible to "complete payments like sending messages." In addition, TON also stated that higher block generation frequency will enhance validator earnings and strengthen staking incentives. Pavel Durov called this upgrade the first step of the "Make TON Great Again" seven-step plan, with the next phase aiming to further reduce transaction fees by about 6 times.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov stated on social media, "The TON blockchain has just completed an upgrade, and now the speed has increased by 10 times. The block generation speed has increased by 6 times, and transactions now achieve instant, sub-second confirmations. This is the first step in the 'Make TON Great Again (MTONGA)' seven-step plan. The next step is to reduce the already low transaction fees by another 6 times."
