HTX  Creation Challenge — Post and Win 1,500U 💥

The global artificial intelligence (Al) boom is no longer just a tech trend, it's a full-scale economic shift. With trillions of dollars pouring into Al chips, data centers, and advanced infrastructure, the sector is now competing directly with crypto for capital, resources, and investor focus.

Instead of hurting crypto, the Al boom could actually help it grow, especially for Al-related crypto coins that may benefit from this rising demand.

NHL and MLB Sign With Polymarket and Kalshi as Their Unions Ask CFTC to Intervene

A coalition of the largest US professional sports player unions has asked the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to prohibit several categories of sports event contracts at platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, putting the unions in direct opposition to the leagues that have signed commercial deals with the same platforms.

Key Takeaways:

Player unions for the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and MLS jointly asked the CFTC to ban “negative outcome” and “mention” event contracts.
The NHL has data partnerships with both Polymarket and Kalshi, and Polymarket is MLB’s exclusive prediction-market partner.
The CFTC received over 1,500 public comments before its rulemaking input window closed on April 30.
Player Associations Across Five Major US Sports Leagues File Joint Comment
The joint comment, filed on April 30 (the final day of the window) by player associations representing the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and MLS through the lobbying firm Elevate Government Affairs, urged the CFTC to ban contracts based on a “negative” outcome that can be manipulated by a single individual, including bets on whether an athlete is injured or penalized. The unions also asked for a ban on “mention contracts” tied to whether specific words like “concussion” are spoken during live broadcasts, calling them “just another way of betting on a negative outcome.”

The unions argued that prop bets on individual athlete performance expose players and their families to harassment from disgruntled bettors, citing a New York Times survey published in The Athletic from November 2025, which reported that 78% of professional baseball players said legalized sports betting had changed how fans treat them. “Individuals targeting our members do not distin

Shiba Inu's Shibarium Fees Near $0, What's Happening on Network?

Shiba Inu's layer 2 blockchain, Shibarium, has seen a quiet 24-hour period with transaction activity and network fees at relatively low levels.

In the past day, the Shibarium network had a total of 1,002 transactions, generating $0.0017 in total transaction fees according to a recent tweet by Shibariumnet. Low transaction counts and near-zero fee generation suggest that activity is present but not yet translating into meaningful economic throughput.

$110K Spring Airdrop Rain—18 Days Straight!

Telegram founder Pavel Durov said on May 4, 2026, that Telegram will replace the TON Foundation as the main force behind The Open Network.  Summary Durov said Telegram will replace TON Foundation as TON’s main force and largest network validator. TON rose about 28% in 24 hours, trading near $1.82 with $632.75 million daily volume. Telegram plans new TON developer tools, a website upgrade and performance improvements by late May. He also said Telegram will become TON’s largest validator. Durov linked the move to lower network fees and a stronger technical roadmap. He wrote:  “Fees in TON have dropped 6× — to nearly zero.” He added that Telegram would shift TON’s focus to “tech superiority.” Durov said TON should receive a new website, new developer tools and performance upgrades within “2-3 weeks.” That places the expected changes in late May 2026, based on the May 4 announcement. The details remain limited. Telegram has not yet explained how its validator role will work. It has also not disclosed its planned validator stake or how the TON Foundation’s role will change after the shift. You might also like: Why is the crypto market going up today?

Elon Musk has settled a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission civil lawsuit over the timing of his 2022 Twitter stock disclosure. Summary Musk's trust will pay a $1.5 million SEC penalty without admitting wrongdoing in the Twitter case. The SEC alleged Musk disclosed his 2022 Twitter stake 11 days late, saving about $150 million. Musk still faces a separate shareholder case tied to comments made during the Twitter buyout. A trust in Musk's name will pay a $1.5 million civil penalty without admitting wrongdoing. The agreement still needs court approval. The settlement was disclosed on May 4, 2026, in federal court in Washington, D.C. It ends one SEC case tied to Musk's $44 billion purchase of Twitter, which is now known as X. You might also like: Bullish bets $4.2B on tokenized securities with Equiniti deal SEC said Musk disclosed stake late The SEC sued Musk in January 2025. The agency said he waited too long to disclose that he had bought more than 5% of Twitter's shares in 2022. It said the delay allowed him to continue buying shares before the market knew about his position. The regulator said Musk disclosed the stake 11 days late. It also claimed he saved about $150 million by buying more Twitter shares at lower prices before revealing a 9.2% position. Under the settlement, Musk will not have to return that alleged saving. Musk had argued that the delay was not planned. His lawyer, Alex Spiro, said: "Mr Musk has now been cleared of all issues related to the late filing of forms in the Twitter acquisition, as we said from the outset he would be." Other Twitter-related cases continue The SEC case focused on Musk's early Twitter share purchases before the takeover. It does not settle every legal dispute tied to the deal.
