For The First Time, The Scale Moves In Crypto Prediction Markets’ Favor
As contradictory as it may sound, the Trump administration is trying to save crypto prediction markets from the State itself. The coordinated lawsuits the CFTC and the DOJ have filed against the three states argue that only the federal derivatives regulator can police prediction markets.

The @CFTC has clear and longstanding exclusive jurisdiction to regulate prediction markets. But recently, state regulators have tried to impose inconsistent and contrary obligations on CFTC-registered prediction markets. In response, the CFTC and @TheJusticeDept today filed three...

The lawsuits go as far as to claim the three states are bypassing the CFTC’s authority by trying to shut down “federally regulated DCMs” (designated contract markets). Regarding Illinois, the federal regulator said the state spent the past year issuing cease‐and‐desist letters to Kalshi, Crypto.com, and Polymarket, which the complaint argues are all under CFTC authority:

Illinois’s attempt to shut down federally regulated DCMs intrudes on the exclusive federal scheme Congress designed to oversee national swaps markets.

Put simply, Washington says prediction markets are federally regulated derivatives. States insist, however, that prediction markets are just unlicensed gambling products harming local consumers.

ATOM, the native token of Cosmos, might be close to ending its prolonged bearish trend, one it has followed since 18 February 2025. In fact, thanks to a 5.25% price hike over the last 24 hours, ATOM broke out of a narrow range, opening the door for a massive move on the charts.

ATOM’s trading volume surged notably by 13.22% over the same period too. This suggested that market participants may be showing greater interest in ATOM’s prevailing market trend.

Data further revealed that following its most recent gains ATOM officially outperformed major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL) over the aforementioned period.

Bitcoin is often praised as a decentralized network, with mining spread across the globe to ensure security and neutrality. However, the reality is more nuanced: mining activity is far less evenly distributed than many assume. While anyone can technically participate, most of the network’s hash power is concentrated in a small number of major mining pools and specific geographic regions.
Why Bitcoin Mining Distribution Matters
Analyst Lucky noted on X that although Bitcoin is permissionless, a large portion of its mining power is clustered in just a few regions. Estimates suggest that roughly 68% of $BTC mining power comes from three countries: the United States, China, and Russia.
This concentration isn’t random. It’s driven by practical factors like infrastructure, energy availability, and regulatory conditions. The U.S. has become a leader thanks to large-scale institutional mining operations, strong access to capital markets, and relatively stable regulations in states like Texas. China, despite official bans, still contributes via underground or relocated mining operations, often taking advantage of cheap hydro and coal energy. Russia benefits from abundant low-cost electricity and colder climates that reduce cooling costs.
This shows an important reality: Bitcoin decentralization exists in principle, but its mining ecosystem is shaped by real-world power, policy, and energy economics. Tracking hash power distribution gives a clearer view of where influence within the network actually resides.

Japan Exchange Group (JPX) is mulling blocking firms that park over 50% of their assets in crypto, reigniting fears for Metaplanet and other digital asset treasuries (DATs).

According to the local publisher Nikkei, the proposed guidelines would block new crypto treasuries that fall in the said category. Additionally, those already listed on JPX’s Tokyo Stock Price Index (TOPIX) would be axed if the proposal is adopted.

Reportedly, JPX has sought feedback from stakeholders on the same. The move could complicate the scheduled listing of Metaplanet on TOPIX after the October 2026 reconstitution.

In October 2025, Metaplanet was upgraded from small-cap to mid-cap, which prompted its listing on the FTSE Japan Index and the FTSE All-World Index. The upgrade offered more institutional exposure for Metaplanet (3350) stock.

Still, the JPX’s exclusion could trigger passive outflows from indices and domestic investors that use TOPIX as a benchmark for Metaplanet.

Concerns about Metaplanet and other crypto treasuries

But the crackdown didn’t start this year, though.

Last November, JPX told Bloomberg that it was considering new guidelines to protect investors amid wild market volatility. At that time, Metaplanet stock had fallen 75% after surging over 400% earlier in 2025. A JPX spokesperson said,

We’re monitoring companies that raise concerns from a risk and governance perspective, with a view to protecting shareholders and investors.

To JPX, crypto-linked volatility was hurting stock investors and had to be reined in. It proposed tougher merger rules and audits to curb these price swings. And the exclusion proposal adds to JPX’s strict stance on the segment.

Will Metaplanet stock be affected?

For perspective, the MSCI Index floated similar proposals, which triggered Strategy’s MSTR sell-off in late 2025 and early 2026. Analysts feared that axing it would lead to passive outflows of about $3B-$9B if other indices followed suit.

By the time MSCI dropped the plans in e

Digital asset treasuries must now earn their keep
The era of buying bitcoin and calling it a treasury strategy is over.

By early 2026, more than 200 publicly listed companies hold digital assets on their balance sheets, collectively managing over $115 billion (DLA Piper, October 2025). The total market capitalization of these companies reached approximately $150 billion by September 2025 – a nearly fourfold increase from the year before. Yet several of these companies now trade at discounts to the value of the assets they hold. The market is sending a clear signal: accumulation alone is no longer enough.

Investors want to see capital discipline and economic return. Management teams have responded with share repurchase programs and transparency metrics such as “$BTC per share,” designed to show the value a treasury adds beyond the token price (AMINA Bank Research, 2026). The shift from passive accumulation to active yield generation – from “DAT 1.0” to “DAT 2.0”—is now the defining theme of the sector.

Three broad models are emerging. Each carries a different risk – return profile and places distinct demands on governance, technical capability and infrastructure.

Infrastructure participation and staking

The most protocol-native approach involves staking tokens to support network consensus and earning rewards in return. For bitcoin-focused treasuries, this increasingly extends to the Lightning Network and other native infrastructure that generates routing and liquidity-based fees. Staking requires careful analysis of the technical security and smart contract risks.

The numbers have grown quickly. Bitmine Immersion Technologies reported over 3 million staked $ETH by early 2026, with total holdings of $9.9 billion and annualized staking revenue of approximately $172 million (SEC Filing, March 2026). Its proprietary validator network marginally outperformed the Composite Ethereum Staking Rate, demonstrating the edge that institutiona
