Leading Prediction Markets Platforms Moving Into Mainstream Derivatives TradingPrediction market platforms are moving beyond simple event-based wagering into mainstream derivatives trading.
Polymarket and Kalshi are preparing to launch perpetual futures trading, marking a significant expansion of their offerings and positioning them in direct competition with crypto exchanges and retail trading platforms.
MILESTONE | Polymarket Tops $10 billion Monthly Volume for First Time in March 2026@Polymarket US now accounts for 6.6% of total platform activity, more than doubling its share since the start of 2026, despite remaining invite-only and limited to sports-related markets.

Perpetual futures – leveraged derivative contracts with no expiry date – will allow users to take long or short positions on a range of assets including cryptocurrencies, stocks and commodities, according to multiple reports.
The move represents a shift for both firms which have historically focused on ‘event contracts’ that let users bet on outcomes such as elections, economic data, or weather events.

Polymarket has already opened early access sign-ups for the product while Kalshi is expected to follow with a U.S.-focused rollout, potentially leveraging its regulatory status to offer the contracts domestically.
Analysts say the expansion brings the two platforms into more direct competition with established crypto derivatives venues as well as brokerages that are increasingly integrating multiple asset classes into a single trading interface.
Combined monthly trading volumes for Polymarket and Kalshi have already exceeded $20 billion suggesting a large existing user base that could be funneled into higher-risk leveraged products.
However, the push into perpetual futures comes amid growing regulatory scrutiny of prediction markets, including concerns around market manipulation and insider trading, which could complicate rollout timelines and broader adoption.

REGULATION | South Africa’s Draft Capital Flow Management Regulations, 2026, to Demand Limited Cr...Proposed new capital flow regulations by National Treasury and the South African Reserve Bank are drawing criticism from legal and industry stakeholders, who warn the measures could impose sweeping controls on cryptocurrency use and raise constitutional concerns.
The Draft Capital Flow Management Regulations, 2026, published on April 17 2026 are intended to modernize South Africa’s exchange control regime dating back to 1961. Authorities say the framework introduces a risk-based approach to managing cross-border capital movements in an evolving financial system.
REGULATION | Crypto Assets To Be Formally Incorporated into the South Africa Capital Flow Management
However, critics argue the draft relies on a broad permission-based system that could restrict individuals and businesses from freely transacting in digital assets. The rules would require disclosure of crypto holdings above thresholds yet to be defined and could mandate that transactions beyond those limits receive prior approval.
Critics say the changes raise serious constitutional concerns around privacy, property rights, and freedom of association, calling them among the most aggressive updates to South Africa’s decades-old exchange control system.
Under the proposals, residents may be barred from buying, selling, lending or transferring crypto assets above set thresholds except through authorized providers. Transactions would also need a declared purpose, with potential penalties, including forced resale, if funds are used outside that scope.
REGULATION | South African Reserve Bank Moves Quickly to Block Crypto Loophole, Files Appeal Against High Court Ruling on Exchange Controls
Some provisions suggest authorities could compel the sale or surrender of assets such as foreign currency, gold or cryptocurrencies under certain conditions, a move critics say may conflict with property protections under Section 25 of the Constitution.
The draft also grants enforcement powers that include searches, seizures and mandatory disclosures. Legal observers have raised concerns that requiring access to sensitive information, such as cryptographic private keys, could infringe on privacy rights and effectively transfer control of digital assets.

Further criticism has focused on the grouping of all digital assets under a single definition of “crypto assets.” Analysts note that decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin differ significantly from centrally issued stablecoins or other tokens, both in structure and risk profile.
South Africa already regulates crypto service providers under existing frameworks. In 2022, crypto assets were classified as financial products under the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services (FAIS) Act, placing providers under the supervision of the Financial Sector Conduct Authority. Firms are also subject to anti-money laundering rules under the Financial Intelligence Centre Act.
2025 RECAP | South Africa Had Approved 300 Crypto Firms Out of 512 Applications as of December 2025
Critics say the new proposals risk creating overlapping or conflicting requirements, rather than aligning with established oversight mechanisms.
Concerns have also been raised over due process, with provisions that appear to allow asset freezing or forfeiture based on administrative decisions rather than court orders. Legal experts argue this could undermine constitutional protections guaranteeing fair administrative action and access to courts.
The Treasury and central bank have not yet responded to specific criticisms but have invited public comment as part of the consultation process.
Market participants and legal commentators are urging policymakers to revise the draft to clearly
define thresholds,
distinguish between types of digital assets, and
ensure judicial oversight in enforcement actions.
They also call for safeguards to protect self-custody of digital assets and to avoid requirements that could compel disclosure of private keys.
The proposals, if adopted in their current form, would mark one of the most significant overhauls of South Africa’s capital control framework in decades, with potentially far-reaching implications for crypto adoption and cross-border financial activity.

REGULATION | SEC Thailand Seeks Public Feedback on Draft Law to Permit Derivatives Products By Cr...Thailand’s securities regulator has proposed new rules that would allow cryptocurrency firms to offer futures products more directly as part of a broader effort to expand the country’s digital asset market while tightening oversight.
The Thailand Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC Thailand) said it is seeking public feedback on draft amendments that would permit licensed digital asset businesses to apply for derivatives licenses within their existing corporate structures removing the need to set up separate entities.
The move is expected to lower operational and regulatory barriers for crypto companies seeking to enter the derivatives market streamlining the process for offering futures tied to digital assets.
Under current rules, firms must establish standalone entities to conduct derivatives business, a requirement the regulator now aims to eliminate in order to improve efficiency and market access.
REGULATION | Vietnam Moving to Block Overseas Crypto Exchanges as Crypto Framework Takes Shape
The proposal builds on earlier regulatory changes that recognized cryptocurrencies as eligible underlying assets for futures and options contracts, effectively integrating digital assets more deeply into Thailand’s financial system.
Despite easing entry requirements, SEC Thailand said the new framework would introduce stricter safeguards, including measures to manage conflicts of interest and enhance supervision of exchanges and clearing houses.
Officials added that the reforms are intended to give investors more tools for hedging and portfolio management while aligning Thailand’s derivatives market with international standards.
The proposal is open for public consultation until May 20 2026 after which industry feedback will be used to shape the final regulatory framework.
Thailand’s initiative comes amid a broader global push to expand crypto derivatives offerings as regulators and exchanges explore new products to meet growing investor demand.

The proposal builds on earlier regulatory changes that recognized cryptocurrencies as eligible underlying assets for futures and options contracts, effectively integrating digital assets more deeply into Thailand’s financial system.
Despite easing entry requirements, SEC Thailand said the new framework would introduce stricter safeguards, including measures to manage conflicts of interest and enhance supervision of exchanges and clearing houses.
Officials added that the reforms are intended to give investors more tools for hedging and portfolio management while aligning Thailand’s derivatives market with international standards.
The proposal is open for public consultation until May 20 2026 after which industry feedback will be used to shape the final regulatory framework.
Thailand’s initiative comes amid a broader global push to expand crypto derivatives offerings as regulators and exchanges explore new products to meet growing investor demand.

INSTITUTIONAL | World’s Largest Wealth Management Firm Launches a Stablecoin Reserves Portfolio f...Morgan Stanley’s investment management arm has launched a new portfolio designed to hold reserves backing stablecoins marking a further step by a major Wall Street firm into digital asset infrastructure.
The Stablecoin Reserves Portfolio, introduced by Morgan Stanley Investment Management, is structured as a government money market fund aimed primarily at stablecoin issuers seeking compliant ways to manage reserve assets.
Morgan Stanley said the launch reflects rising demand as the stablecoin market expands and regulatory scrutiny increases.
“We are pleased to deliver a new investment solution to the marketplace that seeks to address the needs of stablecoin issuers,” said Fred McMullen Co-Head of Global Liquidity, Morgan Stanley Investment Management.
“The significant increase in stablecoin issuers as well as the growing number of assets held in stablecoins represents an evolving portion of the marketplace that is ripe for future growth.”
REGULATION | Morgan Stanley, a Top 10 U.S Bank, Files for a Bank Charter to Custody and Trade Crypto
The fund is designed to align with proposed U.S. legislation, the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act), which would require payment stablecoins to be fully backed by high-quality liquid assets.
According to the firm, the portfolio seeks to
preserve capital,
offer daily liquidity and
generate income
while maintaining a stable net asset value of $1 per share.
The fund will invest only in
cash,
short-term U.S. Treasury securities and
overnight repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities and/or cash.
The product is expected to be used mainly by stablecoin issuers to park reserves underpinning their tokens though other institutional investors may also participate.
“Developing innovative ways to work with stablecoin issuers is another step towards modernizing the financial infrastructure and a key way to improve our institutional clients’ experience,” said Oldenburg.
“Creating opportunities for all client segments as markets evolve will make the next phase of finance possible and more broadly accessible.”
STABLECOINS | Financial Institutions and Corporate Treasury Teams Driving Stablecoin Adoption in Europe
The move highlights growing involvement by traditional financial institutions in crypto-linked services, particularly as policymakers push for clearer rules governing reserve backing and risk management in stablecoins typically pegged to the U.S. dollar.
The portfolio is part of Morgan Stanley’s broader push into digital assets following earlier initiatives including crypto-linked investment products and tokenized fund offerings.
“We have actively engaged across the industry to develop the ability to offer digital asset related liquidity solutions,” said McMullen.
“While still in the early stages, these recent product launches signify our commitment to develop relevant, timely solutions that may address evolving investor needs in an increasingly digital marketplace.”

MILESTONE | Tether Freezes Over $300 Million in USDT – the Largest on Record – in Coordination Wi...USDT Stablecoin issuer, Tether, has announced it has frozen more than $344 million worth of its USDT tokens in coordination with the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and U.S. law enforcement agencies in one of the largest enforcement actions involving the cryptocurrency to date.
The freeze targeted two wallet addresses identified by U.S. authorities as being linked to suspected illicit activity, including sanctions evasion and criminal networks, the company said. The action was taken after investigators shared intelligence on the wallets preventing further movement of the funds.
Tether said the funds were held on the TRON blockchain and that the move reflects its ongoing cooperation with regulators and law enforcement globally.
2025 RECAP | Over Half of All Circulating USDT Stablecoin Supply in 2025 Issued on TRON Blockchain
Chief Executive, Paolo Ardoino, said the company acts “immediately and decisively” when tokens are tied to unlawful activity, adding that USDT is not intended to serve as a safe haven for illicit use.
“USD₮ is not a safe haven for illicit activity,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether.
“When credible links to sanctioned entities or criminal networks are identified, we act immediately and decisively.
Recent events have shown what happens when platforms fail to move quickly, enforcement breaks down, users are exposed, and trust erodes. Our approach is different. We combine blockchain transparency with real-time monitoring and direct coordination with law enforcement to stop funds before they can move.
That’s a responsibility we take seriously as one of the largest issuers in the market.”
MILESTONE | Tether Voluntarily Freezes $225 Million in Stolen USDT – The Largest Ever Freeze of USDT in History
The company said it has worked with more than 340 law enforcement agencies across 65 countries and has supported over 2,300 investigations worldwide. In total, Tether reports freezing more than $4.4 billion in assets linked to illicit activity, including over $2.1 billion tied to U.S. agencies.
“We work closely with law enforcement globally to identify and, upon request, freeze assets to prevent further movement when they are linked to illegal activity or illicit actors.”
The latest action surpasses previous freezes by the company and comes as regulators increase scrutiny of stablecoins and their role in global financial crime enforcement.

BITCOIN | Leading Crypto VC Firm Urges a Digital Asset Treasury Portfolio Company to Liquidate It...Pantera Capital, one of the leading crypto venture capital fund globally, has reportedly urged London-listed Satsuma Technology to liquidate its remaining bitcoin holdings and return cash to shareholders after the company’s shares plunged about 99%, according to reports.
The investment firm, which holds roughly a 7% stake in Satsuma, said the collapse in Satsuma’s stock highlights the risks of the ‘digital asset treasury’ model in which companies hold cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin as a core balance sheet strategy.
Satsuma’s share price illustrates the strategy’s pitfalls. The stock has fallen more than 99% from a June 2025 peak to trade around 24 pence.

— BitKE (@BitcoinKE) April 23, 2026
Pantera reportedly argued that selling the bitcoin (~$50 million remaining) and returning capital would better protect shareholders following the sharp decline in both the company’s valuation and broader crypto market conditions.
“We are exploring options to facilitate these requests while protecting the interests of all shareholders,” Satsuma Executive Chairman Ranald McGregor-Smith said in an emailed statement to Bloomberg News.
CASE STUDY | Bitcoin Treasury Firm Sees a 99% Drop in Share Price One Year After a Milestone Capital Raise
Satsuma reportedly raised over $220 millon through a convertible loan note to pursue what it called an “AI-powered” Bitcoin treasury strategy. Satsuma’s market capitalization now stands at well below the value of its Bitcoin hoard (646 tokens) and currently ranks at number 57 among Bitcoin treasury firms.
The development underscores growing scrutiny of listed firms using bitcoin treasury strategies, particularly as volatility in crypto prices and equity markets exposes structural weaknesses in the model.
Pantera has reportedly deployed over $300 million in digital asset treasury investments as of August 2025.
The latest development is a sign of digital asset treasury fatigue as share prices crater and valuation premiums to crypto holdings disappear.

CRYPTO CRIME | the United Kingdom Regulatory Watchdog Carries Out First Crackdown on Illegal P2P ...The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) of the UK says it carried out its first coordinated crackdown on illegal peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto trading by raiding eight sites across London in a joint operation with law enforcement and tax authorities.
The watchdog said it worked alongside HM Revenue & Customs and the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit to inspect premises suspected of operating unregistered crypto trading services, issuing cease-and-desist notices at each location.
Evidence gathered during the raids is now supporting multiple ongoing criminal investigations, the regulator added.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto trading, where users transact directly without intermediaries, requires registration under Britain’s anti-money laundering rules. However, the FCA said no such traders are currently registered in the country, rendering the activity illegal.
Authorities said the crackdown aims to prevent unregulated trading channels from being used to move and conceal illicit funds, warning that such activity poses a financial crime risk.
CASE STUDY | This UK Sanction Signals Early Separation of Legal and Illicit Crypto Ecosystems
Steve Smart, executive director of enforcement and market oversight at the FCA, said:

Consumers should protect themselves by only dealing with firms registered with the FCA and by remembering that crypto remains a high risk investment.”
The action marks the FCA’s first enforcement operation specifically targeting peer-to-peer crypto trading and signals a broader push to tighten oversight of the sector as the UK moves toward a more comprehensive regulatory framework.

CRYPTO CRIME | the United Kingdom Regulatory Watchdog Carries Out First Crackdown on Illegal P2P ...
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) of the UK says it carried out its first coordinated crackdown on illegal peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto trading by raiding eight sites across London in a joint operation with law enforcement and tax authorities.
The watchdog said it worked alongside HM Revenue & Customs and the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit to inspect premises suspected of operating unregistered crypto trading services, issuing cease-and-desist notices at each location.
Evidence gathered during the raids is now supporting multiple ongoing criminal investigations, the regulator added.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto trading, where users transact directly without intermediaries, requires registration under Britain’s anti-money laundering rules. However, the FCA said no such traders are currently registered in the country, rendering the activity illegal.
Authorities said the crackdown aims to prevent unregulated trading channels from being used to move and conceal illicit funds, warning that such activity poses a financial crime risk.
CASE STUDY | This UK Sanction Signals Early Separation of Legal and Illicit Crypto Ecosystems
Steve Smart, executive director of enforcement and market oversight at the FCA, said:

INSTYTUCJONALNY | Zgodny z zasadami Sharii, zabezpieczony przez waluty Zatoki, wdraża się na ADI Chain dla instytucji...Stablecoin PUSD, zgodny z zasadami Sharii, ma zadebiutować na ADI Chain, blockchainie drugiej warstwy skoncentrowanym na rozliczeniach instytucjonalnych na Bliskim Wschodzie, dążąc do wykorzystania globalnego rynku finansów islamskich, którego wartość przekracza 3 biliony dolarów.
PUSD, który ma około 2,3 miliarda dolarów w obiegu, jest zabezpieczony w stosunku 1:1 przez rezerwy w riyalów saudyjskich i dirhamach Zjednoczonych Emiratów Arabskich, które są powiązane z dolarem amerykańskim, zgodnie z niedawnym ogłoszeniem.
Stablecoin jest już dostępny na kilku głównych blockchainach, w tym Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana i TRON, a integracja z ADI Chain to jego najnowsza ekspansja.

REGULACJA | Dlaczego amerykańskie banki chcą, aby zakaz zysków z stablecoinów był rozszerzony na podmioty trzecieAmerykańskie grupy bankowe zaostrzają skoordynowaną kampanię, aby zablokować postęp Senatu w sprawie ustawy CLARITY, koncentrując się na wąskiej, ale istotnej luce regulacyjnej pozostawionej przez ubiegłoroczną ustawę GENIUS: kto dokładnie ma prawo do wypłacania zysków z stablecoinów.
Ponad 3000 banków, na czele z American Bankers Association, finansuje reklamy i działania lobbingowe, wzywając prawodawców do „zamknięcia luki w stablecoinach”, argumentując, że obecny projekt językowy pozwoli platformom kryptowalutowym na ominięcie istniejących ograniczeń dotyczących płatności podobnych do odsetek.

RAPORT | ~90% finansowania Web3 w Nigerii w 2025 roku było oparte na dotacjachNigeryjskie startupy Web3 zebrały 43 miliony dolarów w 2025 roku, co stanowi ponad dwukrotny wzrost w porównaniu do ubiegłego roku, co sygnalizuje niepewną odbudowę finansowania, chociaż inwestycje wciąż koncentrują się na wczesnych rundach oraz usługach finansowych napędzanych stablecoinami, według nowego raportu.
Raport pokazał, że około 89% całkowitego finansowania, czyli około 38 milionów dolarów, popłynęło w produkty związane z finansami powiązane z przypadkami użycia stablecoinów, takimi jak płatności i wymiany fiat-crypto, 5x rok do roku, podkreślając wąski sektorowy fokus w ekosystemie.

INSTYTUCJONALNE | Japonia przetestuje obligacje rządowe na łańcuchu jako zabezpieczenie, zachowując status prawnyJapoński dom rozliczeniowy ogłosił, że przetestuje wykorzystanie blockchaina do zarządzania zabezpieczeniem obligacji rządowych w ruchu, który może zmodernizować sposób, w jaki działa jeden z największych rynków długu suwerennego na świecie.
Japan Securities Clearing Corporation (JSCC), część Japan Exchange Group, uruchomi dowód koncepcji z Mizuho Financial Group, Nomura Holdings i Digital Asset, aby zbadać, czy japońskie obligacje rządowe (JGB) mogą być używane jako cyfrowe zabezpieczenie w sieci Canton, powiedziały firmy.
Próba oceni, czy JGB mogą być transferowane i zarządzane na infrastrukturze blockchain, jednocześnie utrzymując swój status prawny zgodnie z japońskim ustawodawstwem o transferach książkowych i ustawą o instrumentach finansowych oraz giełdach, co jest kluczowym wymaganiem dla przyszłej komercyjnej ekspansji.

PRZESTĘPCZOŚĆ KRYPTOWALUTOWA | ‘Oczekujcie więcej akcji,’ mówią kenijscy śledczy, po doniesieniach o Binance Ac...Kenijskie władze zablokowały nieujawnioną liczbę kont użytkowników na giełdzie kryptowalut, Binance, w ramach rozszerzającej się akcji przeciwko podejrzanym oszustwom, praniu pieniędzy i finansowaniu terroryzmu, według śledczych zaznajomionych z tą sprawą.
Akcja, prowadzona przez Kenijskie Biuro Dochodzeń Kryminalnych (DCI Kenya), następuje po wzroście skarg od użytkowników, którzy zgłaszali, że nagle zostali zablokowani z dostępem do swoich kont, a niektórzy nie mogli uzyskać dostępu do środków związanych z transakcjami peer-to-peer (P2P) – popularnym kanałem do konwersji kryptowalut na gotówkę lokalnie.

REGULATION | ‘Gambling By Another Name Is Still Gambling,’ Says New York As It Sues Coinbase, Gem...New York Attorney General, Letitia James, has sued crypto exchanges, Coinbase and Gemini, alleging their prediction market offerings amount to illegal gambling under state law, court filings show.
The lawsuits, filed in Manhattan state court, claim the companies operated unlicensed platforms that allow users to trade on the outcomes of events such as sports and elections without approval from the New York State Gaming Commission.
James said the so-called ‘event contracts’ are ‘quintessentially gambling’ because outcomes are outside users’ control and rely on chance, adding that ‘gambling by another name is still gambling.’
REGULATION | Gambling Rules Apply to Prediction Markets, Warns Major League Baseball of America
The state also alleges the platforms allowed users aged 18 to 20, below New York’s legal betting age of 21, and failed to comply with regulations imposed on licensed sportsbooks.
New York is seeking to halt the businesses unless they obtain licenses, and is asking for financial penalties including disgorgement of profits, civil fines, and restitution for customers.
The cases come amid a broader jurisdictional dispute between state regulators and the federal Commodity Futures Trading Commission which has argued it holds primary authority over prediction markets.
REGULATION | Prediction Markets Fall Under Our Federal Mandate, Says Chairman, CFTC
A spokesperson for Coinbase said the company would continue to push for federal oversight of such markets while Gemini did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Prediction markets have grown rapidly in popularity since 2024.
Polymarket aims to raise $400 million at a $15 billion valuation highlighting investor apptetite and continues expansion.
This comes just a few weeks after Kalshi, Polymarket’s main competitor, raised a massive $1 billion at a $22 billion valuation.
All of the above is intensifying regulatory scrutiny and setting up a legal battle over whether they should be treated as financial instruments or gambling products.

$AAVE Hashtag #AaveAnnouncesDeFiUnitedReliefFund stał się viralem, ponieważ reprezentuje największy PLAN RATUNKOWY w historii finansów zdecentralizowanych. Wszystko zaczęło się po masowym hacku protokołu Kelp DAO, gdzie napastnik zdołał wyciągnąć prawie 300 milionów dolarów i użył tych skradzionych funduszy jako zabezpieczenia w Aave, aby pożyczyć prawdziwe pieniądze. To pozostawiło Aave z niezapłacalnym długiem wynoszącym około 200 milionów, co spowodowało masowe wypłaty z obawy przed upadkiem systemu.
Aby powstrzymać ten kryzys i chronić fundusze użytkowników, społeczność uruchomiła DeFi United Relief Fund. Wielką wiadomością jest to, że najsilniejsi konkurenci Aave postanowili połączyć siły, aby pokryć finansową dziurę. Protokoły takie jak Lido, EtherFi i sieć Mantle już zobowiązały się do przekazania ponad 100 milionów dolarów w Ether, aby ustabilizować platformę. Nawet założyciel Aave zainwestował ponad 11 milionów dolarów z własnego kapitału.
Ten fundusz działa jak tarcza: zebrane pieniądze są używane do absorpcji długu spowodowanego przez hakera, co pozwala rynkom wrócić do normalnego funkcjonowania i umożliwia ludziom wypłatę swojego kapitału bez problemów.
To historyczny ruch, ponieważ pokazuje, że w obliczu ataku systemowego przemysł woli zjednoczyć się i uratować się nawzajem, niż pozwolić, aby panika zniszczyła zaufanie wszystkich inwestorów.
Hashtag jest na czołowej liście trendów, ponieważ oznacza koniec paniki i początek skoordynowanej odbudowy. Aave już wychodzi z strefy ryzyka dzięki temu masywnemu wsparciu, a rynek świętuje to jako dowód dojrzałości ekosystemu krypto.
Doskonałe wiadomości dla użytkowników #AaveProtocol
