Lord Kulveer Ranger on digital assets, digital pound, and stablecoins
 

Lord Ranger is a Member of the UK House of Lords and serves as Co-Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Digital Markets and Digital Money.

Opinions below are his own.

At a pivotal moment for the future of money, last week an evidence session with the Bank of England offered something we do not often get: a clear, candid readout from the heart of the UK’s monetary authority on how it views digital assets, systemic stablecoins, and the digital pound.

After 18 months deeply engaged in the digital assets regulatory debate, as co-chair of the APPG on Digital Markets and Digital Money, I came away with two overriding impressions: the Bank is listening, and the Bank is cautious. Both are understandable. Neither, on their own, will be sufficient.

Let’s start with the positive. The tone of engagement matters, and it is improving. The Bank’s willingness to absorb and reflect on feedback, particularly on its consultation into systemic stablecoins, is both genuine and welcomed. This is not a regulator operating in isolation; it is one actively trying to understand how innovation is unfolding in real time.

That matters because stablecoins are no longer theoretical. Properly structured, they offer the prospect of faster, cheaper, more programmable payments. Improperly handled, they introduce risks that go to the core of financial stability. The Bank’s recognition of both sides of that equation is reassuring. It is taking the time to get this right. But here is the rub: time is not a neutral variable.

We are operating in a global financial system where capital, capability and confidence move quickly. Other jurisdictions are making calls, some more permissive, some more experimental, all reflective of their own economic priorities. The Bank is right when it says “their econ

Prediction markets closed out Consensus Miami 2026 as the subject of a live debate on whether they are regulated financial derivatives or gambling products operating outside state law.

Prediction markets closed out Consensus Miami 2026 on Thursday as the subject of the conference’s final debate, pitting the CFTC’s position that event contracts are swaps against a growing coalition of state attorneys general who argue the platforms are unlicensed gambling businesses.

The session brought the conference’s policy agenda to a head after three days of regulatory and legislative sessions.

CFTC Chairman Michael Selig, who attended Consensus for the first time this year, has made the prediction markets jurisdictional fight a defining feature of his tenure.

“We expect these matters to go up to the Supreme Court,” Selig said, as the agency has already sued Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, New York, and Wisconsin for attempting to regulate CFTC-registered exchanges under state gambling law.

Why states are pushing back

The core disagreement is structural. Kalshi and Polymarket argue their platforms operate like futures markets, with no house setting odds and no counterparty absorbing all risk.

DraftKings president Paul Liberman acknowledged the consumer experience is identical to sports betting. “For the end user, yes,” he said, “whether they’re putting a bet on the sportsbook or whether they’re doing a trade on the Celtics here, they definitely feel as though it’s the same.”

Wisconsin filed complaints against Kalshi, Polymarket, Coinbase, and Robinhood in April, arguing their contracts meet the state’s legal definition of a bet.

A bipartisan coalition of 41 state attorneys general has separately called for federal clarity on jurisdiction. Senator Marsha Blackburn’s subcommittee has scheduled a hearing for May 20, sitting directly between the Conse

How will CRWV shares move after the Q1 call?

CRWV currently trades at $130.47, near its highest level for 2026. The shares trade with over 18% implied volatility, suggesting futures markets are pricing in higher volatility compared to the 20-day average.



CRWV traded near its highest levels for 2026, but the shares expected volatility around the Q1 report. | Source: Yahoo Finance.

CRWV has a relatively high short open interest as a percentage of the free float. A total of 14.5% of the free float shares are shorted, with 1.7 days to cover. While CRWV has a ‘hold’ recommendation from Zacks Research, the attempts to short suggest downward volatility, especially after the Q1 earnings call.

An important ideological and operational shift is beginning to take shape in the Strategy ecosystem as Michael Saylor, whose name for years was synonymous with the "HODL forever" slogan, has now pivoted to a more pragmatic formula he made public via a new X post - "Buy more Bitcoin than you sell".

On X, validator Vet disclosed that he examined activity tied to Ondo Finance on the XRP Ledger. During this review, he discovered two recent Ripple transactions that redeemed Ondo Short-Term U.S. Government Treasuries (OUSG) as part of a settlement flow involving Mastercard and JPMorgan.

According to Vet, the transactions settled "for fractions of a penny in a few seconds," highlighting XRPL's low-cost and high-speed settlement capabilities.

$COTI solved Yao’s ‘Millionaires Problem’ on Ethereum’s Sepolia testnet using Garbled Circuits with no trusted intermediaries.

The solution was developed with Soda Labs, is live on mainnet, and is compatible with the EVM environment and Solidity.

Vitalik Buterin had publicly identified Garbled Circuits as the path toward purely cryptographic guarantees in multiparty computation.

$COTI solved Yao’s ‘Millionaires Problem’ on Ethereum’s Sepolia testnet using Garbled Circuits, with no trusted intermediaries and end-to-end encryption. The demonstration was published this week. It is the first practical solution to this foundational challenge of secure multiparty computation —known as MPC— on Ethereum’s public infrastructure.

The problem was formulated in 1982 by scientist Andrew Yao: how can two parties determine which one holds more wealth without either revealing their actual value? For more than four decades, that question served as the ultimate benchmark for any system aspiring to execute verifiable private computation. $COTI had already solved this challenge on its own network in February 2025. The transition to Sepolia extends that capability into the Ethereum ecosystem.

In the demonstration, two parties enter private values representing their wealth. Neither exposes their actual data to the counterparty or to the network. The computation operates over encrypted data and produces a verifiable result —who holds more— without any plaintext value being recorded on-chain. The entire process operates with no centralized trust setup or privileged actor of any kind.

The implementation was developed in collaboration with Soda Labs and has been live on $COTI’s mainnet since March 2025. The gcEVM engine, compatible with EVM, allows developers to write confidential smart contracts in Solidity using standard tools like Hardhat, incorporating privac

Bitcoin failed to clear its 200‑day simple moving average near $83,300 and slipped back under $81,000, reviving comparisons with the March 2022 breakout that quickly reversed into a deep selloff.
Bitcoin’s latest rally hit a wall just below its 200‑day simple moving average on Wednesday, with $BTC coming within striking distance of the long‑watched level around $83,300 before rolling over and falling back below $81,000, CoinDesk reported. The failed attempt has revived memories of March 2022, when Bitcoin briefly reclaimed its 200‑day SMA only to reverse sharply and sink to roughly $20,000 by June, punishing traders who treated the breakout as confirmation that a new bull run had begun.

Key technical test echoes 2022 fake-out

Market participants treat the 200‑day line as a rough dividing line between long‑term bull and bear regimes. If Bitcoin can sustain closes above that band, it would reinforce the increasingly popular thesis that “the bear market ended when $BTC fell below $63,000 in February” and that the current phase is the early leg of a fresh bull cycle. But the inability to hold above the average on this attempt, combined with risk‑off action across majors, has some desks cautioning that the market may be setting up another “false breakout” akin to 2022
