The chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission defended his agency's shrinking staff by saying its leaning into efficiencies gained from AI and automation, even as demands on its time expand because of crypto and prediction markets.

At a congressional hearing, Chairman Mike Selig said the CFTC is engaged in "numerous investigations" in the prediction markets, though he wouldn't say what his agency is probing.

Solana validator logs 32 delinquencies, foundation still claims ‘100% uptime’
The Solana Foundation is advertising “100% network uptime since March 2023” but delegators behind the Harmonic Major validator have had an entirely different experience.

Their node has gone delinquent 32 times in the past 30 days on a stake of 625,000 $SOL, worth over $50 million, according to validator tracker Slashr.

Slashr puts that at 12 times the network average over that time period.

Unlike certain proof-of-stake blockchains, Solana doesn’t slash validators for going offline, so no principal is at risk. Instead, delinquent delegators simply miss the vote credits, inflation rewards, and MEV share they would have earned.

The validator tracking service estimates the opportunity cost at roughly $413 per hour while the node is dark.

Harmonic, the company operating that validator, hasn’t publicly addressed a single incident.

A Solana validator is flagged delinquent once its root slot drifts far enough behind the supermajority that it’s effectively stopped voting.

Penalties on delinquent validators are entirely economic. Delegators forfeit the rewards they would have earned during the downtime but delinquencies don’t burn a stake nor force an exit from the validation system.

That distinction is the one Solana’s uptime marketing doesn’t make.

Although cluster-level uptime of the entire Solana blockchain correctly reveals 100% timeliness of the network producing blocks, the actual experience of someone staking $SOL with a validator or staking-as-a-service provider within a particular cluster can differ dramatically from that headline.

Validator-level uptime measures whether your specific node was voting.

The two numbers can diverge dramatically, and in Harmonic’s case, they have.

#President Donald Trump reiterated his firm stance against Iran's nuclear ambitions on Thursday, declaring that the Islamic Republic must never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump emphasized the global threat such a development would pose, stating that the world would face grave danger if Iran succeeded in obtaining nuclear capabilities.Trump's remarks came amid a continuing public dispute with Pope Leo, the Chicago-born pontiff who has become one of the most prominent voices criticizing the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran. The Pope made headlines over the weekend after delivering a passionate peace appeal, condemning what he called the "madness of war." Despite pressure from the Trump administration, Leo told Reuters on Monday that he would not be silenced and intended to continue speaking out against the conflict.Trump, who has controversially claimed credit for Leo's papal appointment, has repeatedly labeled the religious leader as "weak" on foreign policy. However, the president appeared to soften his tone slightly on Thursday, acknowledging the Pope's right to free speech while firmly maintaining his disagreement. "The Pope can say what he wants, and I want him to say what he wants, but I can disagree," Trump stated.The ongoing war, which began when U.S. and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran on February 28, has since escalated into a broader regional conflict. Iran retaliated with strikes targeting Israel and Gulf states hosting U.S. military bases, while continued U.S.-Israeli operations in Iran and Lebanon have reportedly killed thousands and displaced millions of civilians.Trump's attacks on Pope Leo have drawn significant backlash from American Christians across the political spectrum, highlighting the deep divisions the conflict has created both domestically and internationally.Gold is meant to be a ‘safe haven’ in uncertain times.

South Korea's Unification Ministry pushed back Friday against reports that Washington had expressed displeasure and threatened to limit intelligence sharing after a South Korean minister publicly identified a previously undisclosed North Korean nuclear facility.The controversy stems from remarks made by Unification Minister Chung Dong-young during a parliamentary hearing on March 6, where he stated that North Korea operates a uranium enrichment facility in Kusong — a site not previously confirmed publicly — in addition to the widely known facilities at Yongbyon and Kangson. South Korean officials said Chung's comments were grounded in publicly available information, including reports from international research institutions, and that Washington had acknowledged this explanation.The report, published by South Korean newspaper Dong-A Ilbo and citing sources from both countries, claimed the United States had signaled its intention to partially curtail North Korea-related intelligence sharing with Seoul. According to the report, Chung's disclosure served as the immediate trigger, but broader frustrations over a series of foreign policy and security disagreements between the two allies had been building for some time.A ministry spokesperson confirmed that following an inquiry from the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, South Korea provided a thorough background briefing on the minister's statements and believed the explanation had been accepted. Officials added that they were not aware of any formal protest or active restrictions on intelligence sharing.Adding to the complexity, Minister Chung had attributed his Kusong claim to statements made by International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi during an IAEA board meeting. However, a review of the official IAEA transcript shows Grossi's remarks referenced only Yongbyon and Kangson, with no mention of Kuso

#Japan's financial regulator is positioning private credit as a cornerstone of its emerging national financial strategy, responding to surging corporate funding demand driven by record-breaking merger and acquisition activity. A senior official from the Financial Services Agency (FSA) shared this direction in a recent interview, signaling a significant policy shift for one of the world's largest economies.Deputy Director-General Michinori Haba noted that while private credit markets abroad are experiencing heavy redemption pressures, Japan's domestic market remains largely untapped and ripe for development. This creates a unique opportunity for Japan to build a robust private credit ecosystem from the ground up, guided by strong governance frameworks and lessons learned from global markets.The shift is being fueled by changing corporate behavior. Rising inflation is finally pushing Japanese companies to deploy the massive cash reserves they have held for decades. Under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's investment-led growth agenda, this momentum is expected to accelerate, with the government planning to release a comprehensive new financial strategy within months aimed at diversifying capital providers and revitalizing the country's financial ecosystem.Japan's M&A landscape is a major catalyst in this transformation. Deal activity involving Japanese firms more than doubled last year, reaching a record 53 trillion yen (approximately $351 billion), largely driven by high-profile take-private transactions. Private credit, particularly mezzanine financing — the hybrid capital layer between senior debt and equity — is seen as a critical tool for funding leveraged buyouts, an area historically underdeveloped in Japan.Major financial institutions are already moving. Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group is reportedly in talks with Nippon Life Insurance to launch a private credit fund targeting leveraged buyout financing, a development the FSA views favorably as validation of the m

XRP News: XRPL Validators Vote On New Lending Protocol Update

XRP Ledger has opened voting on XLS-65 and XLS-66 to allow lending and single asset vaults.

Recent developer tests found 'no issues' in the proposed XRP Ledger Lending protocol amendment.

However, the final implementation depends on consensus vote, which is currently ongoing.

Ripple-backed $XRP Ledger validators are moving to vote on two new amendments, XLS-65 and XLS-66, leading to $XRP news headlines. If approved, these proposals would add a native lending model and asset vault model.

The suggested 'XLS-66 Lending Protocol' aims to facilitate "on-chain, fixed-term, uncollateralized loans using pooled funds from a Single Asset Vault.
