STOCKHOLM, April 27 (Reuters) - FIFA should scrap its peace prize ‌to avoid getting drawn into politics, Norwegian Football Association (NFF) President Lise Klaveness said on Monday, suggesting that the awarding of such prizes be left to the Nobel Institute in Oslo.
Led by Gianni Infantino, world ​soccer's governing body came under fire for awarding its inaugural peace prize to U.S. ​President Donald Trump in December at the draw for the 2026 World ⁠Cup.
The FIFA peace award was seen by many as a consolation prize for Trump, ​who has said on numerous occasions that he should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize ​and whose country will co-host this year's World Cup with Canada and Mexico.
We (the NFF) want to see it (the FIFA peace prize) abolished. We don't think it's part of FIFA's mandate to give such a ​prize, we think we have a Nobel Institute that does that job independently already," ​Klaveness told an online press briefing.
We think it's important for football federations, confederations and also FIFA to ‌try ⁠to avoid situations where this arm's-length distance to state leaders is challenged, and these prizes will typically be very political if you don't have real good instruments and experience to make them independent, with juries and criteria et cetera.
That is full-time work, it's so ​sensitive, I think from ​a resource angle, ⁠from a mandate angle, but most importantly from a governance angle I think it should be avoided also in the future," she ​said.
The 45-year-old lawyer said the NFF board would be writing a ​letter saying ⁠it supported calls for an investigation into the awarding of the prize by non-profit organisation FairSquare, which has alleged that Infantino and FIFA may have breached their own ethical guidelines regarding political ⁠impartiality in ​awarding the prize.
There should be checks and balances ​on these issues and this complaint from FairSquare should be treated with a transparent timeline, and that the reasoning ​and the conclusion should be transparent," Klaveness said.

Also: North Korea’s 6-month plot with Drift, Solana Foundation’s new ad and Alchemy AI.
SOLANA FOUNDATION NEW AD ‘DONT WASTE TIME ON CRYPTO’: The Solana Foundation is taking a deliberately contrarian approach to crypto marketing in San Francisco, rolling out a billboard campaign that reads: “Don’t waste time with crypto.” At first glance, the message may seem a bit confusing as a crypto foundation is saying not to waste time with crypto. But according to the Solana Foundation, it is a bullish bet on the future of crypto that intersects with agentic AI. Essentially, what this means is that rather than wasting your time executing transactions with crypto, which might be cumbersome and time-consuming, let your AI agents do the hard work. The ad directs passersby to the x402 account on X, a nod to a growing push within the Solana ecosystem to position blockchain not as a consumer-facing product, but as invisible infrastructure for the next phase of the internet.
Polymarket removed a betting market tied to the rescue of U.S. service members in Iran, after intense backlash and criticism from lawmakers this weekend. The market allowed users to wager on when the U.S. would confirm the rescue of two airmen after an F-15E fighter jet was shot down over Iran. The crew members have since been rescued. Rep. Seth Moulton, a Democrat from Massachusetts, criticized the listing in a post on X, calling it “disgusting” and arguing it reduced a military rescue effort to a financial trade. Moulton has taken a hard line on prediction markets, recently banning his staff from using platforms such as Polymarket and Kalshi over concerns that financial incentives could influence policy decisions. A Polymarket spokesperson said the listing did not meet its integrity standards and the contract was removed shortly after it appeared. The company added that it is reviewing how the market passed internal safeguards.
The U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. formally proposed its approach to stablecoin issuers as one of the federal financial regulators required to write and oversee rules under last year's Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act. The FDIC's proposal —meant to align closely with what its sister banking agency, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, proposed in February — will be open for a 60-day public comment period on the lengthy list of 144 questions posed Tuesday by the agency. The FDIC's job is to police U.S. depository institutions, and under the GENIUS Act, its role is to regulate such institutions issuing stablecoins from their subsidiaries. To that end, it posed capital, liquidity and custody standards for those firms, though the details won't be set in stone until the rule is finalized — not likely to occur until the agency spends further months reviewing input and writing the final language. This is the second GENIUS Act proposal from the banking agency after its December pitch on the issuer application process. As expected under the law, stablecoins won't enjoy the deposit insurance that the banks maintain on traditional banking accounts, according to the proposal.

BTC is up 10% for the month, but the bull run has stalled near $75,000 in the past 48 hours. Here's why.
It is evident from an on-chain indicator called realized profit/loss, which tracks the total dollar value of gains or losses locked in by holders when they move their coins on-chain. The indicator compares the current price at which coins are being moved with the price at which they last moved (the assumed acquisition cost), effectively showing whether investors are selling at a profit or a loss.
Values above 1 indicate increased profit-taking, and the 30-day exponential moving average (EMA) is currently well above that threshold. The EMA is used to smooth out day-to-day noise and highlight the broader trend in realized profits.
Profit-taking activity is rising, with the 30D EMA of the Realized Profit/Loss Ratio at 1.16, indicating investors are selling into strength. A sustained move above $78.1K will require the market to absorb this overhead supply," analytics firm Glassnode said in a report.
Profit-taking was particularly strong on Tuesday as Bitcoin briefly climbed toward $76,000 before quickly slipping back below $75,000. According to CryptoQuant, investors realized about $1.14 billion in profits during the move, one of the largest single-day readings this year.
The indicator, though widely tracked, has limitations, mainly that it assumes coins moving on-chain are being sold. In reality, they may simply be moving between wallets or exchanges for custody, rebalancing, or internal transfers
That said, the latest profit-taking signal aligns with other indicators, such as the cumulative volume delta, suggesting demand is concentrated on specific exchanges while activity remains weaker elsewhere
The CVD is a measure of who is more aggressive in the market. It shows whether the market is being driven more by buyers demanding liquidity or by sellers hitting bids.
So far, buyers have been aggressive mainly on Binance, but not so much on Coinbase or other exchanges, according to Glassnode
Vikram Subburaj, CEO of India-based FIU-registered exchange Giottus, echoed the view, saying sentiment is improving, but conviction is still not yet fully established
Funding rates remain slightly negative, showing that traders are still cautious and not yet leaning aggressively long. On-chain activity has slowed down. This suggests the market is consolidating, not overheating," he said.
Further, bitcoin options trading on Deribit continues to show a bias for put options across all time frames. It indicates lingering downside fears and demand for protection offered by puts
Taken together, profit-taking pressure, uneven spot demand, and cautious derivatives positioning all indicate that buyers are absorbing supply but not yet overwhelming

The Indian government is seeking to expedite the implementation of a 2023 law that reserves 33 percent of seats in parliament and state assemblies for women, but has linked the move to a sweeping redrawing of parliamentary constituencies, sharpening political tensions.
We’re set to take historic steps to empower women,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said before a special sitting of parliament on Thursday as his government introduced three bills to be debated in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of parliament.
While two of the three bills relate to extending the number of women in parliament and state assemblies, a third bill relates to “delimitation”, as the process to redraw parliamentary boundaries based on population is called in India. The bill aims to increase the overall size of parliament from 543 Lok Sabha seats to 850
The bills are being taken up during a three-day special session and will require a two-thirds majority in both houses to pass. Modi’s National Democratic Alliance (NDA) holds 293 seats in lower house of parliament while a two-thirds majority would require 360 votes
Women currently account for 14 percent of the Lok Sabha members. “We are all united to give rightful positions to women in India,” Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Thursday
Several Asian countries, including India’s neighbours like Nepal and Bangladesh, have similar quotas for women in national legislatures. India already mandates that one-third of seats be set aside for women in local governing bodies
But the opposition was not convinced. Some members from southern states turned up in parliament dressed in black as a mark of protest.
MK Stalin, chief minister of the southern state of Tamil Nadu and a rival to the BJP, burned a copy of the bill and raised a black flag in protest, urging people across the state to do the same.
“Let the flames of resistance spread across Tamil Nadu,” Stalin said, accusing the BJP of trying to marginalise the state through redrawn boundaries. “Let the arrogance of the fascist BJP be brought down
