A Massachusetts judge granted a preliminary injunction against Kalshi, requiring a sports wagering license to offer event contracts in the state. The court ruled that federal CFTC oversight does not preempt state gambling laws, allowing state-level regulation of sports-related derivatives. The injunction specifically targets new contracts, meaning existing trades held by Massachusetts users are currently unaffected. A Massachusetts state court is moving to stop Kalshi from offering sports-related event contracts to users in the state unless it obtains a sports wagering licence, in a decision that challenges the company’s claim that federal derivatives oversight shields it from state gambling rules.…

When the Ethereum Foundation dropped a thread on Jan. 19 claiming “Ethereum is the #1 choice for global financial institutions” and backing it with 35 cited examples, it moved past the standard protocol update or developer announcement.It read like institutional marketing: a ranked claim, a curated evidence stack, and a call-to-action funnel pointing readers to an owned landing page where financial institutions can browse live metrics and click “Get In Touch.”That shift in tone and structure matters because it signals something more strategic than routine developer communications.The Foundation is documenting what’s happening on Ethereum while also actively fighting for control…

A long-dormant whale moved 909 BTC ($84M) for the first time since 2013, netting a 13,000% gain.

Boundless has introduced a cross-chain system that settles zero-knowledge proofs from Ethereum and Base on Bitcoin without changing Bitcoin’s protocol. The design uses BitVM and Citrea to verify off-chain computation while keeping execution on smart contract chains. The approach reflects a broader shift toward using Bitcoin as a neutral settlement and security layer for rollups. The Boundless team has unveiled a cross-chain verification system that allows Bitcoin to serve as the settlement and verification layer for zero-knowledge proofs generated on Ethereum-based networks. Developed by the ZK network launched by RISC Zero, the system is intended to settle computation-heavy proofs on…

The latest quarterly report from Brisbane-based crypto exchange Swyftx argues that Bitcoin is behaving more like a “beta for high risk tech socks” than digital gold after a volatile Q4 punctuated by the crypto collapse of October 8. Other trends highlighted include the success of altcoin spot ETFs and the rise of privacy coins. David Bird (aka ASX Trader) contributed to the report, forecasting a rough 2026 for crypto due to a convergence of several key cycles increasing risk. In its latest quarterly report, Brisbane-based crypto exchange Swyftx has argued that Bitcoin’s status as digital gold has “materially weakened” in…

Chainlink is widely misunderstood, with its role extending far beyond being a simple data oracle. The platform provides critical infrastructure that enables blockchains to access data, communicate, and operate compliantly. Its scale, market share, and adoption make Chainlink difficult to replace as on-chain finance grows. Chainlink is often underestimated by investors despite playing a critical role in connecting blockchains with real-world systems, according to Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan. He argues that the asset is frequently reduced to being labelled an “oracle”, even though it operates more broadly as a software platform that supports much of today’s on-chain financial…

The company also framed the venue and its features as contingent on regulatory approvals.The scope ICE described is…
