Wall Street futures moved slightly higher on Monday evening after major U.S. stock indexes reached new record highs, reflecting cautious optimism among investors. S&P 500 Futures climbed 0.2% to 7,217.0 points, while Nasdaq 100 Futures also gained 0.2% to 27,487.75. Dow Jones Futures followed with a modest 0.1% increase to 49,397.0. The upward movement comes as market participants react to geopolitical developments and prepare for a critical week of corporate earnings and Federal Reserve updates. During Monday's regular trading session, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both closed at all-time highs, rising 0.1% and 0.2%, respectively, driven largely by continued strength in technology stocks. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped slightly by 0.1%. Investor sentiment remained balanced as U.S. President Donald Trump discussed a new proposal from Iran aimed at easing tensions in the Middle East. The proposal includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil shipping route, while postponing more complex nuclear negotiations. Oil prices stayed elevated near recent highs, contributing to ongoing inflation concerns and limiting broader market gains. The Strait of Hormuz remains a crucial factor, as restricted tanker traffic continues to influence global energy supply and investor confidence. Rising energy costs have weighed on equities in recent sessions, even as strong performance in Al-driven technology stocks provides support.Investors are now closely watching a busy earnings calendar, with major tech companies such as Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms set to report results. Over one-third of S&P 500 companies will release earnings this week, with expectations for continued profit growth. Additionally, key reports from companies like UPS, General Motors, Coca-Cola, and JetBlue Airways are due.

In a world that increasingly feels like a casino, even the loudest critics are starting to reconsider their stance.
Donald Trump has recently softened his tone on prediction markets. Just days after raising concerns about their rapid growth, he acknowledged that “some very smart people” actually support them. It’s not a full endorsement—but it’s no longer outright rejection either.
And that shift matters.
Because this isn’t just about one opinion changing. It reflects a broader tension between skepticism and inevitability. Trump pointed directly to global competition, noting that if other countries continue advancing in this space while the U.S. holds back, it risks being “left out in the cold.”
That’s the real pressure point.
Platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi are already seeing explosive growth. Combined trading volume hit $23.6 billion in March alone, showing that demand isn’t theoretical—it’s active, global, and accelerating.
But where there’s growth, there’s friction.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission argues these event-based contracts fall under federal commodities law. Meanwhile, multiple U.S. states are pushing back, claiming these platforms are effectively offering unregulated gambling.
So what are prediction markets, really?
Financial instruments—or bets on real-world outcomes?
That question is now at the center of a growing legal battle.
At the same time, political and corporate interests are becoming harder to separate. With Trump-linked entities exploring involvement in this space, prediction markets are no longer just a niche experiment—they’re entering the mainstream conversation.
And that’s where the contradiction becomes clear:
On one hand, there’s discomfort with turning global events into tradable bets.
On the other, there’s fear of missing out on the next wave of financial innovation.

Crypto pundit RWA Investor said that XRP traders going short on the altcoin are trapped, just like Bitcoin bears. This came as he revealed the roadmap for XRP’s rally to a new all-time high (ATH) of $7.

Pundit Says XRP And Bitcoin Bears Are Trapped
In an X post, RWA Investor said that the XRP bears and shorts are just as trapped as the Bitcoin bears. He noted that the price movement is mirrored 1:1 with a slight delay, and declared that the range between $1.50 and $1.60 will be broken very soon. Once that happens, the analyst predicts that XRP will rally to between $2 and $3.

RWA Investor predicts that XRP will then see another major pullback after that rally before the transition into the third wave begins. He remarked that this price action will be another “pump and dump” and that the third wave will come out of nowhere, but probably right after the next pullback.

The analyst predicts a massive bear trap after this third wave. He said that this will happen just to “mess” with the emotions of XRP investors one last time before the altcoin then rallies to the $7 range. He noted that about 80% of the market is driven by psychology and that the bears need to feel in control before the big short squeeze.

RWA Investor didn’t provide a timeline for when XRP could reach this level. However, in another X post, he indicated that Fed rate cuts and quantitative easing (QE) are what will spark this rally for the altcoin. The analyst stated that QE is what the market has been waiting for and that everything else is mostly just noise or a distraction. He added that the tightening cycle is over and that QE has arrived. It is worth noting that RWA Investor had also predicted that Bitcoin would rally to $140,000 and XRP to $7 as the CLARITY Act advances.

Ondo Finance adds proxy voting for holders of its $700 million tokenized equities

Ondo Finance is bringing tokenized equities closer to their traditional counterparts, offering investors a way to participate in corporate governance.

The feature, built with Broadridge Financial Solutions (BR), allows holders of more than 250 tokenized securities on Ondo's platform to review company filings and submit voting preferences through Broadridge’s ProxyVote system.

Investors can log in with crypto wallets, then access documents and governance tools typically reserved for brokerage accounts.

The move comes as tokenized equities have emerged as one of the fastest-growing sectors in crypto, bringing stocks and ETFs on blockchain rails. The category now holds over $1.1 billion in value locked, tripling in size over the past year, RWA.xyz data shows. Ondo is the largest issuer in the sector, reporting more than $700 million in stock and ETF tokens on its Global Markets platform, offered to non-U.S. investors.

Adding proxy voting to equity tokens matters because these offerings have often lacked basic governance rights. While Ondo’s tokens remain separate from the underlying shares and do not grant direct shareholder rights, the new system lets investors express preferences that Ondo can apply when voting the shares it holds.

"It really hits at the heart of Ondo's vision to make traditional financial assets more accessible," Matthieu de Vergnes, Ondo's global head of institutional, said in an interview with CoinDesk. "You get all the benefits of being onchain – freely transferable, compatible with DeFi – and on top of that, you get the governance that you have from the the underlying."

Broadridge, which processes large volumes of proxy votes in traditional markets, is extending its infrastructure to blockchain systems with this move. The firm said the

SEC Reviews 85% Proposal That Could Impact Bitcoin and XRP ETF 
SEC notice opens comments on NYSE Arca’s 85% asset rule proposal, tightening crypto and commodity trust listing requirements.
Key Takeaways:
SEC notice seeks comment on NYSE Arca proposal requiring 85% of assets meet eligibility standards.
NYSE Arca rule would count derivatives by gross notional value, impacting crypto trust qualification calculations.
Crypto and commodity trusts may use up to 15% in non-qualifying assets while remaining compliant.
SEC Notice Opens Comment Period on 85% Asset Rule Proposal
A Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) notice published April 27, 2026, outlines a proposed rule change from NYSE Arca that could reshape how crypto and commodity investment products qualify for exchange listing. The SEC is seeking public comments on whether the proposal is consistent with the Securities Exchange Act. The filing introduces an 85% asset threshold that would limit exposure to holdings outside existing eligibility standards. The proposal highlights a shift toward tighter portfolio requirements for future trust listings.

NYSE Arca is seeking to revise Rule 8.201-E, the generic listing framework for commodity-based trust shares. Under the proposed change, at least 85% of a trust’s net asset value would need to be held in assets already allowed by the rule. Those assets may include qualifying commodities, commodity-based assets, securities, cash, and cash equivalents. The remaining 15% could include other assets that do not independently meet the rule’s eligibility criteria, as long as the trust otherwise remains compliant. The filing states:
