Guardiola Urges City to Pressure Arsenal in Title Run-In
Pep Guardiola has called on Manchester City to pile pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal by defeating Brentford this Saturday. Following a dramatic 3-3 draw against Everton, City trail the Gunners by five points with a game in hand.
Guardiola emphasized that winning their remaining four matches is the only way to stay in the race, while also praising Jeremy Doku’s recent goal-scoring form.
With Rodri, Ruben Dias, and Josko Gvardiol nearing full fitness, City hope a victory at the Etihad will cut the gap before Arsenal face West Ham on Sunday.

EU Crypto Rules May Drive Firms Offshore
Malta is fighting EU plans to centralize crypto oversight under ESMA, warning it could push firms out of Europe.
What's Happening:
France, Italy and Austria want ESMA to directly supervise major crypto firms, arguing MiCA rules are being applied inconsistently across member states.
Malta opposes this. It currently oversees Crypto.com, Gemini and Bitpanda and warns centralization would add bureaucracy and kill competitiveness.
Why It Matters:
If the EU over-regulates, crypto firms will move to friendlier jurisdictions:
→ US: Pro-crypto legislation gaining momentum
→ UAE: Dubai's VARA attracting global players
→ Asia: Hong Kong and Singapore offering clarity

Historic signal on Binance:
Bitcoin Funding Rates (50D SMA) just dropped to -0.002 — the lowest level since the March 2020 post-COVID crash.
📉 Despite fear dominating the derivatives market, ₿ $BTC is currently trading near $80K after correcting ~37% from its $127K ATH in Oct 2025.
🐻 Extreme negative funding reflects aggressive short positioning and overwhelming bearish sentiment across perpetual futures markets.
⚠️ Historically, when funding rates reach these deeply negative levels, the market becomes highly vulnerable to explosive short squeezes.
🚀 If history repeats, the current $80K zone could represent a macro bottom before the next major expansion phase begins.
📊 On-chain + derivatives data now suggest that downside exhaustion may already be forming beneath surface

JUST IN: HORMUZ COULD OPEN TO ALL — IF DEAL HOLDS
Donald Trump says the Strait of Hormuz could be “open to all, including Iran” *if Tehran agrees to the deal terms.*
• Conditional statement — depends on Iran accepting terms
• Blockade and restrictions are not fully lifted yet
• Part of broader negotiations to end the conflict
Recent developments show the U.S. is pausing operations to allow diplomacy, but pressure remains in place.
Markets are reacting to a potential normalization of global oil flows but this is still deal-dependent, not finalized. Volatility will follow headlines.

KelpDAO Ditches LayerZero, Migrates rsETH To Chainlink CCIP After $292M Hack
KelpDAO is officially moving rsETH cross-chain transfers from LayerZero's OFT standard to Chainlink's CCIP, citing LayerZero's infrastructure as the root cause of the April 18 exploit.
What Happened:
Attackers linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group drained 116,500 rsETH (~$292M) by compromising LayerZero's own RPC nodes and feeding forged data to a single-verifier (1-of-1 DVN) setup. The bridge released rsETH against a burn that never happened. Cascading DeFi losses crossed $300M.
The Blame Game:
🔸 LayerZero blames Kelp for using a 1-of-1 DVN against recommendations
🔸 Kelp says this setup was LayerZero's own documented default, used by nearly 40% of LayerZero apps
🔸 Compromised DVN was run by LayerZero Labs, not a third party
🔸 Kelp had to alert LayerZero of the exploit, not the other way around
Why CCIP:
Chainlink CCIP requires multiple independent validators to approve transfers, eliminating the single-point-of-failure risk that broke Kelp's bridge.
LayerZero will stop signing messages for any 1-of-1 DVN app, forcing an ecosystem-wide migration. This is a wake-up call for cross-chain security and a major win for Chainlink's multi-validator architecture.
