Fu Peng: BTC perpetual contracts usher in the “rental asset” era; the commodity ETF logic applies equally to Bitcoin.
Fu Peng, Chief Economist of Xinhuo Group, posted on X stating that commodity ETFs are essentially regulatory-compliant products packaging the business model of “holding commodities long-term and generating rental income continuously.” Fund companies focus not on the commodity market’s outlook but rather on the asset’s ability to generate “rent” consistently. Since BitMEX launched the world’s first BTC perpetual contract and introduced the funding rate mechanism on May 13, 2016, long-term BTC holders have been able to earn rental income through hedging operations—transforming BTC from a pure faith-based speculative asset into a “rental asset” with stable positive cash flow logic. The costs paid by retail participants when trading derivatives constitute the foundation for large-position holders’ risk-free hedging rental income. This income is then packaged into ETF-like products sold to liquidity providers (LPs), whose raised capital is subsequently used to purchase Bitcoin—creating a virtuous cycle that reduces volatility and reinforces BTC’s income-generating attributes.

Hyperliquid Policy Center Urges CFTC to Open Compliance Routes for Decentralized Prediction Markets
the Hyperliquid Policy Center (HPC) has announced it has formally submitted a comment letter regarding the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) on prediction markets. The HPC advocates for establishing clear compliance pathways for decentralized prediction markets built on public, permissionless blockchains, while simultaneously refining the regulatory framework for centralized prediction markets.In its comment letter, the HPC calls on the CFTC to develop more flexible, function-oriented rules tailored to decentralized market structures; to establish clear legal channels for U.S. market participants to access decentralized prediction markets; and to support U.S. leadership in the field of decentralized finance innovation.The HPC states that prediction markets are a natural extension of the federal derivatives framework. They help participants directly manage their economic risk exposure to real-world events and aggregate dispersed information through continuously updated market prices. Their price discovery capabilities have been widely validated and, in some cases, outperform traditional polling and expert forecasts.The HPC points out that decentralized prediction markets based on public blockchains offer advantages such as transparency, non-custodial operation, and high resilience. They do not rely on centralized operators to hold user funds, nor do they present single points of failure. All transactions are recorded in real-time on a public ledger, facilitating both regulatory oversight and market surveillance, while market access standards are more transparent and uniform.The HPC emphasizes that the current rulemaking process should not codify reliance on single exchange operators, custodial intermediaries, or traditional settlement monitoring mechanisms. Doing so would prevent U.S. users from legally participating in decentralized prediction markets. The HPC states it will continue to promote compliant access to Hyperliquid and HIP-4 Outcome Markets for U.S. market participants, and will maintain ongoing communication with the CFTC.

South Korean court halts financial regulator’s partial business suspension penalty against Bithumb
According to Yonhap News, the Seoul Administrative Court’s Administrative Division No. 2 ruled on April 30 to accept Bithumb’s application to suspend enforcement of a partial business suspension order issued against it by South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). The effect of this partial suspension order will thus be stayed until the court issues its final judgment in this case. Previously, in March this year, the FIU imposed a severe penalty on Bithumb—six months of partial business suspension and a fine of KRW 36.8 billion—citing 6.65 million violations by Bithumb of obligations stipulated under South Korea’s Act on Reporting and Using Specified Financial Transaction Information (“Special Financial Information Act”). The suspended operations specifically involve external virtual asset transfers (i.e., deposits and withdrawals) for new customers. This marks the harshest penalty ever levied against a Korean won-based cryptocurrency exchange operating in South Korea. The penalty was originally scheduled to take effect on March 27. However, Bithumb filed an administrative lawsuit on March 23 and simultaneously applied for a stay of enforcement, thereby temporarily halting the penalty’s effect. The court’s formal acceptance of the application means that the sanctions will remain suspended until the final ruling is rendered in this case.

Altman: OpenAI to Operate as "Permanently Low-Profit" Company, Aiming to Follow Stripe's Model
Odaily OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated at Stripe Sessions that OpenAI aspires to become an infrastructure company that is "permanently low-profit, yet massive and fast-growing," offering products akin to "smart meters" that allow anyone to purchase them to automate businesses, develop products, or embed them into their own services. He compared OpenAI to Stripe, noting that their model is usage-based billing, and as the internet scales, both Stripe and its users benefit.Altman revealed that OpenAI has already signed 20-year contracts for electricity and land to support this goal. He acknowledged that switching costs in AI are low, and the recent massive influx of users from competing programming tools to Codex proves that the smarter AI becomes, the easier it is to switch platforms. He pointed out that while some companies might try to capture the entire industry chain, OpenAI does not plan to do so, believing that models and data centers are a whole, and other companies can build products on top of them.Altman also emphasized that businesses should not overestimate AI's impact on existing business structures. Although AI has changed many existing processes, good products will still survive in the market. He specifically mentioned that Shopify CEO Toby Lütke is the best AI adopter he has ever seen.
Paradigm researcher proposes timestamp escape mechanism to protect early Bitcoin from quantum computing threats
Paradigm researcher Dan Robinson proposed a new scheme called PACT (Prove Address Control with Timestamp), aimed at protecting long-dormant Bitcoin, including Satoshi Nakamoto's early addresses, from future quantum computing attacks.The mechanism allows users to prove control over an address via a timestamp without transferring assets or exposing on-chain activity. Should a future quantum attack occur, assets can be recovered based on this proof within a quantum-resistant version of the Bitcoin network.Compared to mandatory migration schemes such as BIP-361, PACT avoids the privacy exposure issues caused by proactively transferring assets, offering long-term holders a more flexible proactive protection path.

The White House Opposes Anthropic’s Expansion of Mythos Usage to 120 Companies, Citing Concerns Over Insufficient Computing Power
the White House has recently opposed Anthropic's proposal to expand the use of its AI model, Mythos, to approximately 120 companies, primarily based on security and computing power concerns. Anthropic had originally planned to add 70 new companies to the roughly 50 enterprises currently using Mythos, but the White House has raised doubts, worrying that insufficient computing power might affect the government's own usage of Mythos.Launched in early April, Mythos is designed to detect and exploit critical software vulnerabilities. It is currently limited to testing by enterprises managing key infrastructure, with no plans for public release. The White House fears that expanding usage to more commercial users could create a computing power bottleneck for the government when using the model. This is particularly concerning given Anthropic's computing power procurement agreements with Amazon, Google, and Broadcom—though contracts have been signed, new capacity has not yet come online.On the political front, relations between the White House and Anthropic have not eased. The Trump administration has publicly criticized Anthropic for hiring multiple former officials from the Biden administration and expressed dissatisfaction with its ties to liberal organizations. One example highlights the trust issues between the two sides: Collin Burns, a former researcher at Anthropic who was originally assigned to a government AI model evaluation role, was replaced by senior White House officials upon learning of his background, to avoid having AI company personnel directly involved in matters concerning dealings with other AI companies.Additionally, last week Anthropic disclosed an unauthorized access incident involving the Mythos model, further intensifying external regulatory scrutiny on the company.
US Department of Justice Sentences Member of $263 Million Crypto Fraud Scheme to 70 Months in Prison, Involving Social Engineering Fraud and Lavish Money Laundering
: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that a 22-year-old California man, Evan Tangeman, has been sentenced to 70 months (approximately 5 years and 10 months) in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, for his involvement in a criminal organization that stole approximately $263 million in crypto assets through social engineering fraud and home invasions.According to court documents, Tangeman pleaded guilty in December 2025, admitting to helping the criminal network launder at least $3.5 million in illicit funds.The criminal group allegedly used the stolen funds for lavish spending, including multi-million dollar nightclub bills, Lamborghini sports cars, and high-end assets like Rolex watches.U.S. District Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, stated in a release that the organization "built a criminal system based on nearly absurd greed," emphasizing that Tangeman not only participated in money laundering but also destroyed evidence after his accomplices were arrested, demonstrating clear criminal intent.This sentencing comes as data shows that the crypto industry suffered $482 million in losses from scams and hacks in the first quarter of 2026, with social engineering fraud and physical violent robberies on the rise.

Lido proposes using up to $5.8M stETH to cover Kelp’s funding gap
the Lido team has initiated a proposal, planning to allocate up to 2,500 stETH (approximately $5.8 million) from the DAO to cover the rsETH asset shortfall resulting from the recent attack on Kelp DAO.Lido noted that the LayerZero-based exploit has led to insufficient rsETH reserves, triggering a chain reaction across the DeFi ecosystem, including rising interest rate pressure, tightening lending markets, and certain leveraged strategies facing passive liquidation risks.The proposal emphasizes that these funds will only be used as part of a complete recovery solution, provided that the overall shortfall can be fully addressed.Previously, the approximately $292 million attack on Kelp DAO had already impacted Aave, leading to bad debt issues, and its total value locked (TVL) once declined by nearly $8 billion.
OpenAI CEO Accuses Anthropic of “Fear-Based Marketing” with Claude Mythos
According to Decrypt, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that Anthropic is promoting its AI model Claude Mythos through “fear-based marketing,” using narratives about security risks to justify its limited-open strategy. Claude Mythos has recently drawn attention for its ability to autonomously discover software vulnerabilities and perform complex cybersecurity operations. The report notes that Mozilla previously disclosed that the model identified 271 vulnerabilities in the Firefox browser during testing. Meanwhile, discussions surrounding the model’s potential offensive cybersecurity risks continue to intensify. Altman also emphasized that OpenAI will not scale back its infrastructure investments and will continue expanding its computational capabilities.

Paradigm Partner Proposes PACTs Mechanism to Provide Protection Path for Quantum-Vulnerable Bitcoin Addresses
Odaily Odaily, Dan Robinson, General Partner at Paradigm, has proposed "Provable Address Control Timestamps" (PACTs) mechanism, aiming to provide a protection path for Bitcoin addresses under the potential threat of quantum computing. The scheme allows coin holders to generate on-chain commitments using address control proofs via BIP-322, combined with a random salt value. It utilizes OpenTimestamps for temporal anchoring, establishing proof of ownership without revealing wallet information. If quantum-vulnerable addresses are frozen in the future through a soft fork, users can submit STARK zero-knowledge proofs when spending to unlock assets. The mechanism also offers a potential recovery path for wallets derived based on BIP-32, but its implementation still relies on Bitcoin introducing STARK verification capabilities and obtaining community consensus.

Curve launches a "bad debt" recovery mechanism, allowing damaged claims to be exited through trading or participate in the restoration process
Curve Finance has officially announced it is introducing a "bad debt" recovery mechanism based on on-chain market dynamics. This mechanism allows CRV users affected by bad debts in certain lending markets to choose from different recovery strategies: directly selling their claims to exit, holding on to wait for potential recovery, or providing liquidity to earn fees and incentives. The core of this mechanism is establishing a trading pool between crvUSD and the damaged claim tokens, enabling the bad debt claims to be priced in the market and form liquidity, thereby providing users with an immediate exit channel, rather than relying solely on final liquidation outcomes.According to reports, following the crypto market crash in October last year, certain lending markets under Curve Finance experienced bad debt issues. Some liquidity pools were impacted by drastic price fluctuations and liquidity contraction, causing some depositors to face withdrawal restrictions and asset losses.Curve stated that the recovery mechanism will not eliminate losses or guarantee recovery, but will gradually reflect risk and recovery expectations through market-based methods. Furthermore, if the governance layer allocates rewards through the veCRV incentive mechanism, it will help enhance liquidity depth, improve exit conditions, and strengthen market pricing efficiency.
