"It's crazy": Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Selig grilled by lawmakers over prediction markets, Hyperliquid, and staffing

CFTC Chairman Michael Selig was questioned about Hyperliquid, prediction markets, and whether his agency has enough staff to regulate these new areas.

The top Democrat on the committee, Representative Angie Craig, expressed concern about the agency's ability to oversee prediction markets, given that it may lack enforcement staff.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Michael Selig has been criticized by lawmakers over how he plans to regulate prediction markets, given the agency's assertive assertion of jurisdiction over them, and whether the CFTC has enough staff to do so.

 On Thursday, during a hearing of the House Agriculture Committee, which oversees the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), lawmakers questioned Selig about prediction markets, which have recently come under scrutiny after contracts were created allowing people to bet on events such as the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with one trade reportedly netting nearly half a million dollars.

"That's crazy," said Rep. Jim Costa, a California Democrat, during the hearing. "Do you think that's what was intended?"

Selig said the CFTC has broad legislation, adding that the agency received advance notice of the proposed rule change to figure out how to "address the problem of these new markets."

"I don't think that's a satisfactory answer," Costa said.  "I don't believe this is market innovation—it's profiting from tragedy, and I think we need to take a closer look at where this is all leading."

In March, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) published a preliminary notice of proposed rules regarding exchanges' approach to listing contracts on prediction markets. Prediction market platf

The RHODL ratio has climbed to its third highest level on record, reflecting a market where long-term holders dominate following a 50% correction that flushed out short-term speculation.

While higher readings were seen in 2015 and 2022, further upside in the ratio would likely require a deeper collapse in demand, a scenario that appears less likely given bitcoin’s recovery and strong macro backdrop.

Don’t get AI agents and stablecoin transfers? Enroll in CoinDesk University

Have you had “deploy a stablecoin” and “build an AI agent” on your business to-do list since the beginning of the year?

You know these technologies will create business efficiencies, but finding the time to really get a grasp, a hands-on grasp, of these solutions has proved hard to find. You might even feel like you’re falling behind.

Not for long, you hard-working department head.

CoinDesk is launching the School of Stablecoins and Agentic Commerce at its upcoming Consensus 2026 conference, happening May 5-7 in Miami. These programs include interactive sessions with expert hosts leading you through the biggest cost-saving stablecoin use cases and the easiest implementations of AI agents that can lighten your workload and maybe even secure some big-time bets.

These sessions are for finance and product leaders, operators and entrepreneurs, and executive teams navigating what’s next.

Each workshop has plenty of complements on CoinDesk’s program of keynotes, fireside chats and panel discussions, allowing you to take the big picture insights and turn them into concrete tools you can take back to your team.

Take payments for example. During the “Stablecoins Go Global” panel discussion, you get inspired to adopt USDC in your business. But where do you practically start? “Setting Up a Stablecoin Wallet and Dashboard” hosted by Circle on the University workshop stage.

Or consider AI agents. After hearing the conversation at the “Agents Meet the Enterprise” panel, you want someone to give you a step-by-step tutorial on setting up OpenClaw and writing killer prompts that 10x your efficiency. We’ve got you covered.

Over the course of the three-day show, you’ll get workflow walkthroughs, product demos, and actionable insights for becoming your company’s crypto and AI guy or gal. And tha

The early signs of a bear phase often emerge when miners start capitulating as patience begins to fade.

Q1 2026 reflects this dynamic clearly. From a technical standpoint, Bitcoin [BTC] closed the quarter down 22%, marking its weakest Q1 performance in almost eight years, ending the period near $68k.

 Notably, miner positioning during the quarter reinforced the broader bearish structure.

As the chart below shows, several major public miners sold more than 32,000 BTC in Q1 2026, according to data analyzed by TheEnergyMag.

The dataset remains incomplete, with some reports still pending. And yet, miner selling has already “exceeded” total net sales across all of 2025, setting a new industry record.

In a detailed X post, he argues that investors are asking the wrong question about $XRP’s price action. Rather than focusing on whether $XRP will drop further in the short term, he urges investors to analyze liquidity cycles, macroeconomic forces, and $XRP’s long-term role in financial infrastructure.

The crypto industry is facing another wave of security incidents.
Since the massive ~$280 million exploit of Drift Protocol on April 1, more than 12 DeFi protocols and crypto platforms have been targeted in rapid succession. The attacks have ranged from smart contract vulnerabilities to oracle manipulation, liquidity pool exploits, and access control failures.
Among the affected projects are CoW Swap, Hyperbridge, Bybit, Silo Finance, Zerion, and others—highlighting how widespread and persistent these incidents have become.
One of the most notable recent cases is Rhea Finance, which lost around $7.6 million after attackers exploited its margin trading system. The exploit involved fake token contracts and liquidity manipulation that reportedly confused oracle and validation layers.
At the same time, a Russia-linked exchange suspended operations after a separate multi-million-dollar breach, while other protocols including bridge aggregators and GPU computing networks also reported losses earlier in the month.
Security analysts warn that the threat landscape is evolving quickly. Some attacks linked to DPRK-affiliated groups are increasingly using AI-assisted social engineering tactics to steal credentials and gain system access—making traditional defenses less effective.
According to on-chain data, DeFi protocols have already lost over $168 million across dozens of incidents in just the first quarter of 2026.
Bottom line:
DeFi security is entering a new phase where technical exploits and AI-powered social engineering are combining to create faster, larger, and more coordinated attacks.
