Connecticut can’t take action against Kalshi for now, judge rules

A US judge has temporarily blocked Connecticut from taking enforcement action against prediction markets platform Kalshi, which received a cease and desist order from the state’s Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) for allegedly conducting unlicensed sports gambling. Kalshi sued the DCP, arguing its event contracts are legal under federal law and fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The court has paused enforcement while it reviews Kalshi’s motion for a preliminary injunction, with further legal proceedings scheduled through February. Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated platform that saw record trading volume in November, is also engaged in similar legal battles with multiple states, including New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Nevada, Maryland, and Ohio, over regulatory jurisdiction and gambling licensing.

Bitcoin OG Doubles Down On Ethereum With A Massive $209.8M Long – Find Out His Liquidation Price

A Bitcoin whale known as "BitcoinOG," who previously shorted the market during the October 10 crash, has significantly increased his long position on Ethereum, accumulating 67,103.68 ETH worth approximately $209.8 million. According to on-chain data from Lookonchain, the position currently holds over $4 million in unrealized profit, with a liquidation price set at $2,069.49. This move comes as Ethereum struggles to maintain stability above the $3,000 support level amid cautious market sentiment ahead of the upcoming FOMC meeting. Despite the whale’s aggressive bullish bet, Ethereum’s technical outlook remains fragile. The weekly chart shows ETH trading below its 50-week moving average, with repeated rejections near the $3,500–$3,800 resistance zone. Volume remains subdued, indicating hesitant buyer interest. A decisive break above $3,300 is needed to signal renewed bullish momentum. However, the market remains sensitive to macro developments, and a drop toward the whale’s liquidation level could trigger cascading sell-offs.

The Stronger the Consensus, the Greater the Risk: The Market Is 'Eerily Quiet' Amid Rate Cut Expectations

In the context of the upcoming Fed rate decision, market consensus strongly expects a 25 basis point cut, with over 85% probability priced in. However, this high level of agreement means the actual rate cut may not significantly move markets, as it has already been anticipated. The real focus is on the Fed’s forward guidance, particularly the "dot plot" showing policymakers' interest rate projections for 2026. The Fed faces unusual uncertainty due to a recent government shutdown, which delayed key inflation data (CPI) for October and November. This lack of recent data may lead to more ambiguous signals from the Fed, increasing potential market volatility. Three scenarios are outlined: 1. **Baseline (most likely)**: The Fed cuts rates as expected and maintains previous guidance, resulting in minimal market reaction. 2. **Dovish**: The Fed signals more rate cuts in 2026 than previously indicated, potentially boosting risk assets like Bitcoin and equities. 3. **Hawkish**: The Fed emphasizes persistent inflation and limited future cuts, which could strengthen the dollar and pressure crypto and other risk assets. The article’s key argument is that high consensus often implies higher risk, as markets are driven by surprises relative to expectations. Investors are advised to focus on managing position risks amid elevated uncertainty rather than betting on specific outcomes.

Strategy’s Saylor has a new Bitcoin-based banking idea – What are the details?

Michael Saylor has proposed a radical Bitcoin-based banking system aimed at nations in the Middle East. His plan targets the $20–$50 trillion currently locked in low-yield sovereign and corporate bonds in developed economies like Japan and Europe. Saylor advocates for a regulated, zero-volatility bank product offering an 8% yield, backed by Bitcoin. He argues that such a system would instantly transform the adopting nation into the world's digital banking capital, attracting massive capital inflows. The structure would use a mix of digital credit and currency with a reserve buffer to eliminate volatility. Saylor's company, MicroStrategy, recently reinforced its commitment by purchasing over 10,000 BTC worth nearly $1 billion.
