Erik Zhang announces temporary committee to assume Neo Foundation functions


Erik Zhang, Neo co-founder and core developer, announced on April 14 that he is forming a temporary emergency committee with core developers and community leaders to take over Neo Foundation operations, citing NF dysfunction, unpaid staff and community members, and eight months of suspended personal salary.

The announcement marks an escalation in an ongoing governance dispute between Zhang and fellow co-founder Da Hongfei, which became public in late December 2025. It comes just days after both founders published competing governance reform proposals on GitHub.

Emergency action and claims of dysfunction

Zhang stated that the NF “is now, in effect, in a state of dysfunction,” with most operational departments having “already begun to shut down.” He said community members and staff have gone without owed funding “for an extended period,” and that his own salary has been suspended for eight months.

In the announcement, Zhang cited his role as “founder of $NEO, a core developer, and an NF Board Member,” and framed the committee as a necessary intervention:

“To prevent further harm to the $NEO ecosystem as a result of governance failure, I, as the founder of $NEO, a core developer, and an NF Board Member, will, effective today, join with certain core developers and community leaders to establish a temporary committee.”

The committee aims to manage and use NF funds to ensure continued ecosystem operations. Zhang shared the primary NF fund address currently under his control and committed to publicly disclosing all funding decisions.

Zhang also reiterated his criticism of Da’s financial disclosures, stating that Da “has still failed to provide the community with a sufficiently open, transparent, and credible account of the Foundation’s financial condition.” Neo published its first financial re

CFTC probes oil futures trades tied to Trump's moves in Iran: Report



The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission is reportedly investigating suspicious oil trades that were placed ahead of certain announcements made by the Trump administration relating to the Iran war.

According to a Bloomberg report on Wednesday, the CFTC’s probe focuses on trading activity on CME Group’s NYMEX and the Intercontinental Exchange’s futures platforms.

The regulator is also requesting “Tag 50” identity data from exchanges to assist with the investigation. Tag 50 data is widely used for auditing and regulatory compliance checks.

The investigation into the futures trading platforms comes in parallel with the rising scrutiny of insider trading in prediction markets.

Bloomberg said the CFTC is reviewing at least two instances over a two-week period in which oil trading volumes surged shortly before the Trump administration made announcements related to the Iran war.

The first of those occurred on March 23, when billions of dollars in futures traded about 15 minutes before US President Donald Trump postponed plans to strike Iranian energy infrastructure.

The second instance occurred around two weeks later, on April 7, when Trump announced a two-week ceasefire on Iran, Bloomberg said.

The trading spikes contributed to falling oil prices and rising equity prices.

“There’s enormous appetite to pursue cases like this,” said Brian Young, a partner at law firm Jones Day who previously served as director of the CFTC’s enforcement division.

XRP ETFs Just Recorded Their Biggest Daily Netflow Since February
XRP ETFs have posted their strongest daily inflow since February 2026 on the back of the latest XRP price rebound.


After a period of weak performance during recent market volatility, XRP ETFs have begun regaining momentum. Notably, the products have now recorded three straight days of net inflows, with the latest daily figure of $11.2 million marking their highest since early February.

Key Points

XRP ETFs recorded $11.2 million in daily net inflows, the highest since February.

Only Bitwise Asset Management and Franklin Templeton contributed to the inflows, while other funds saw no activity.

The recent inflow extends a recovery trend that began on April 10 and has led to three days of consistent gains.

This marks the first three-day inflow streak since they bled out in early March.

Total cumulative inflows have now climbed to $1.23 billion.

Ripple partners with Korea's Kyobo Life to tokenize government bond settlement

Ripple said this week it had partnered with Kyobo Life Insurance, one of Korea's largest life insurers, to tokenize government bond settlement using the firm's Ripple Custody platform.

According to a release, the arrangement is Ripple's first with a Korean insurance institution and is positioned as a step toward compressing Korea's standard T+2 bond settlement cycle into near real-time execution.

The announcement does not specify transaction sizes, a go-live date, or which Korean government bond series will be settled on-chain. Both parties describe the arrangement as a strategic partnership that will also "assess the technical and regulatory feasibility" of broader tokenized treasury settlement, language that typically indicates a pilot framework rather than production infrastructure.

Kyobo Life will also explore stablecoin-based payment rails through Ripple, the release said, without specifying the stablecoin or timelines.

The deal adds to a growing set of institutional tokenization efforts across Asia, where regulators in Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore have moved faster than U.S. counterparts in building frameworks for regulated digital asset activity.

Korea has licensed payment providers for remittance since 2017 and has emerged as one of the region's more active markets for regulated crypto adoption, with local exchanges among the highest-volume in the world and recent regulatory movement toward won-denominated stablecoins.

For Ripple, the Kyobo partnership extends a push into Asian institutional infrastructure that has accelerated since the SEC dropped its lawsuit against the company in 2024.

The firm has announced custody and payment partnerships across Japan, Singapore, and the UAE over the past 18 months, positioning Ripple Custody as a settlement

Bitcoin Price Tops $75K as BTC ETF Demand Strengthens Market Support



Bitcoin went above $75,000 briefly, then eased down a notch and followed a smooth, steady but contained upward trend. The crypto breached this threshold after a strong rebound in the previous 24 hours. It then dipped somewhat and was last trading around $74,813. It remains up about 0.86% over the day.

Market data confirms price appreciation followed a larger climb across crypto, with total market growth staying near Bitcoin’s rate.

Bitcoin Briefly Surges to $75K Before Easing

The latest moves came after a firmer run earlier in the week.

Bitcoin had moved above 1% or more over that period and reclaimed some of the key technical levels. But the rise over $75,000 was significant because it coincided with widely watched moving averages. These levels are frequently used to inform short-term trading decisions. Even though the price pulled back slightly, the structure remains stable for now.

Institutional demand has played a central role in the latest rally. Data shows that U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded net inflows of about $411.5 million on April 15. This marked one of the largest daily inflows for the month. A major share of this came from BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, which alone added roughly $214 million. These inflows indicate steady interest from large investors and provide direct support to prices.

At the same time, overall market conditions have also contributed to the move. Traditional financial markets have shown signs of stability. The S&P 500 has moved higher, and Bitcoin continues to show a strong correlation with it. Current data places this correlation at around 86%. This indicates that macro factors such as liquidity and risk appetite are influencing crypto prices.

Better mood sentiment globally has raised the risk bar for investors. The shift has buoyed stoc
