Baltimore Sues Kalshi and Polymarket Over Allegedly Unlicensed Sports Prediction Platforms
According to Cointelegraph, the City of Baltimore and Mayor Brendan Scott have sued Kalshi and Polymarket, alleging that the two companies violated local gambling laws and deceptive business practice regulations by operating “illegal, unlicensed sports prediction platforms.” The complaint against Kalshi also names Robinhood, Webull, and Coinbase as related partners. The CFTC and the companies involved argue that prediction market event contracts are federally regulated “swaps” and should not be subject to state or local restrictions.
Wintermute Plans to Invest Approximately $1 Billion in AI and High-Frequency Trading Over Five Years, With Non-Crypto Revenue to Exceed 50% by 2027
According to Bitcoin.com News, Wintermute plans to invest approximately $1 billion over the next five years in AI infrastructure and high-frequency trading systems while expanding into equities, commodities, foreign exchange, and prediction markets. The company aims to increase the share of revenue generated by non-crypto businesses to more than 50% by the end of 2027, compared with approximately 10% currently. The investments will cover computing, storage, networking, and data center infrastructure and will be funded through retained earnings. Wintermute’s average daily trading volume this year is approximately $10 billion, down from around $15 billion last year.
SEC Further Delays Tokenization Innovation Exemption, With Details Still Undisclosed
According to a post on X by a Fox Business crypto reporter, a person familiar with the matter said the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s tokenization innovation exemption will be delayed further, with details remaining undisclosed for now. One possible reason is that the tokenization provisions in Section 10505 of the Clarity Act remain under negotiation among stakeholders. Any action taken by the SEC through an innovation exemption could affect the existing compromise. The exemption may therefore remain on hold until the legislative path of the Clarity Act becomes clearer.
Robinhood Chain Nears $1 Billion in TVL, With Uniswap Providing Nearly All Liquidity
According to Cointelegraph, Robinhood Chain’s total value locked is approaching $1 billion, with nearly all its liquidity provided by Uniswap V2, V3, and V4. After the Robinhood-related fee switch was activated on July 27, UNI’s annualized burn rate reached approximately $90 million. At a price of around $3.50 per token, this equals approximately 25 million UNI burned annually, representing slightly more than 4% of the circulating supply. Robinhood Chain launched on July 1 and reached 194,000 daily active users during its first week.
Tether Completes Largest-Ever Inaugural Financial Audit, With KPMG Issuing an Unqualified Opinion
According to Tether News, Tether has completed a full independent audit by KPMG U.S. of the financial statements of Tether International, S.A. de C.V. as of December 31, 2025, receiving an unqualified audit opinion. The audit covered transactions, systems, ownership records, valuations, counterparties, and financial statement evidence. KPMG U.S. also physically counted and inspected every gold bar held by Tether. The audited financial statements showed that Tether’s reserve assets exceeded its liabilities by $6.814 billion.
WLFI Delays Sale of Maldives Resort Token Following Postponement of Issuance Plan
According to Bloomberg, World Liberty Financial and its partners have postponed the sale of a digital token linked to a Trump-branded resort in the Maldives. The token was originally scheduled to launch this spring, with purchasers receiving a share of the income associated with financing the resort’s loan project. People familiar with the matter said the war in Iran affected travel activity across the Middle East and surrounding regions, resulting in the delay. As the postponement has not been publicly disclosed, the sources requested anonymity. No revised issuance date has been announced.
Ethereum L1 Abandons Poseidon Hash Function, Shifting to SHA2 or BLAKE2 for Post-Quantum Cryptography Roadmap
According to a post on X by Ethereum Foundation core researcher Justin Drake, Ethereum L1 will no longer use Poseidon, the SNARK-friendly hash function that has dominated its design direction since 2019. Instead, the network will shift toward conventional hash functions such as SHA2 or BLAKE2s. The Ethereum Foundation’s post-quantum team plans to deploy a production-grade leanVM in 2027, followed by implementation across the consensus, execution, and data layers in 2028. The adjustment reflects a shift in emphasis from “SNARK-friendly hashes” to “hash-friendly SNARKs.”
Hadron by Tether Launches on Sui, Supporting Institutional Issuance of Tokenized Equities, Bonds, and Commodities
According to a post by Sui on X, Hadron by Tether has launched on Sui, providing institutions with infrastructure for issuing tokenized equities, bonds, commodities, and other real-world assets. The platform was designed with compliance requirements in mind and built to support asset issuance and management at scale. The launch expands the blockchain networks supported by Hadron and enables institutions to deploy different categories of tokenized assets using Sui’s infrastructure, further advancing the on-chain issuance and circulation of traditional financial assets.

Security Alert
Users should remain alert to approval phishing attacks. Scammers may imitate airdrop, staking, wallet upgrade, or customer support pages to persuade users to connect their wallets and sign token approvals. Attackers can then use those permissions to transfer assets. Chainalysis reported that Operation Atlantic identified more than 20,000 victims, froze over $12 million in suspected criminal proceeds, and traced more than $45 million in stolen cryptocurrency linked to related fraud schemes. Users should verify domains through official project channels, avoid wallet connection links received through private messages, and never disclose seed phrases or private keys. Before signing, carefully review the contract address, approval limit, and transaction details, and regularly revoke permissions granted to contracts that are no longer used.
