Kalshi regulatory dispute escalates, may ultimately be appealed to the US Supreme Court
Odaily Planet Daily News: The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has held oral arguments on the regulatory authority dispute between Kalshi and the state of Nevada regarding prediction markets, and legal circles expect that the case may ultimately be submitted to the US Supreme Court for resolution.
The focus of the dispute is whether the event contracts offered by Kalshi fall under the "swap" products to be regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Nevada argues that it needs a gambling license to operate, while Kalshi contends that state-level gambling regulations do not apply. Previously, a federal court in Arizona had blocked the state from taking action against Kalshi based on gambling regulations. (Cointelegraph)
Charles Schwab officially launches spot cryptocurrency trading service

Odaily Planet Daily News: JPMorgan analysts indicate that negotiations on the US Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act (the CLARITY Act) have entered the final stage, with both parties seeking compromises on a few remaining contentious points. The number of disputes has been reduced from dozens to 2-3 core issues, with discussions on stablecoin rewards being "in a good state". While banks express concerns regarding providing similar deposit yields for stablecoins, there is an overall trend of bipartisan compromise, and JPMorgan believes there is "no perfect bill". Once passed, the bill will provide important regulatory clarity for the integration of digital assets into the US financial system.
The Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act is currently in the high-level negotiation stage in the US Senate, with Senate staff indicating the draft is "very close" to resolution, but no final text has been published and no formal vote scheduled. Remaining major disagreements focus on issues concerning stablecoin rewards, DeFi regulation, and token classification. While optimism is rising, due to the influence of the 2026 midterm elections, there is still a risk of delays, potentially entering a more uncertain political environment. If the bill is ultimately passed, it will delineate the regulatory authority of the SEC and CFTC and provide a long-term regulatory framework for stablecoins, DeFi, and the entire cryptocurrency industry.

Stanford releases AI Index Report 2026: AI power demand has reached half of Bitcoin mining
Odaily Planet Daily News: Stanford University released the "AI Index Report 2026", showing that current AI systems’ overall power demand is close to half of the scale of Bitcoin mining and approaching the national power levels of Switzerland or Austria.
The report points out that the gap in AI model strength between China and the US is narrowing. In 2025, the US launched about 50 representative models, while China launched about 30 models, with models from institutions such as Anthropic, xAI, Google, OpenAI, Alibaba, and DeepSeek being in the same capability tier.
Moreover, China leads in terms of AI paper citation proportion (20.6%) and number of patents (74.2%), while US private AI investment has reached $285.9 billion, significantly higher than China’s $12.4 billion.
Allbirds soars nearly 600% overnight, industry warns: Investors should beware of "AI washing" risks
Odaily Planet Daily News: The "internet celebrity shoes" Allbirds announced a bet on AI infrastructure and rebranded to NewBird AI, competing with CoreWeave in GPU computing power, and its stock price surged nearly 600%. However, several industry insiders have raised warnings that Allbirds’ AI transformation seems more like a tactic to boost a sluggish stock price, urging investors to be wary of "AI washing", where some companies exaggerate or even fabricate their AI capabilities for marketing. Moreover, enterprises attempting radical transformations to capitalize on popular trends are not without precedent; many companies sought to ride the blockchain wave from late 2017 to early 2018.
Georgetown University McDonough School of Business associate professor Jason Schloetzer pointed out that the initial $50 million financing is "insignificant compared to the actual investment needed to become such a service provider," but from a more optimistic perspective, the influx of new players into the AI field may reflect the market's "sustained enthusiasm" for growth.
Seaport Research analyst Jay Goldberg believes it is hard to imagine that a company like Allbirds, which is "coming from behind," can provide competitive products or services in this field. (Marketwatch)

Federal Reserve Chair nominee Warsh may struggle to gain congressional approval by May 15
Odaily Planet Daily News: US President Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Powell are poised to face off on a crucial question: If Trump fails to timely get his chosen successor, Kevin Warsh, confirmed, does Powell have the right to continue his tenure? Warsh is set to attend a Senate Banking Committee hearing next Tuesday, but he may struggle to gain congressional approval before Powell’s term ends on May 15.
Trump stated on Wednesday that if Powell does not "leave on time," he would fire Powell, and if Warsh cannot be confirmed quickly, the likelihood of a direct conflict between Trump and Powell will increase. This dispute arises as Trump has repeatedly criticized Powell for not yielding to his requests for interest rate cuts, calling the Federal Reserve Chair an "idiot" and "stubborn mule" for refusing to lower borrowing costs.
Analysts suggest that with the likelihood of Powell remaining on the board increasing following Trump's recent attacks, Trump's strategy could undermine Warsh's efforts to reshape the central bank. (Financial Times)

Yi Lihua: I have not participated deeply in market making since 2019
Odaily Planet Daily News: Yi Lihua posted on X platform stating that he admits to being ordinary and important, whether in traditional industries or entering the cryptocurrency circle, we have always focused on primary investment Liquid Capital & investment bank Liquid Digital, and secondary trading Trend Research (crypto) & Trend Investment (traditional) although operating projects and exchanges are very profitable, our energy and capabilities are indeed limited, we can only envy and be jealous. We incubated a market maker in 2018, because the team kept the profits for themselves, leaving the losses to us, leaving us badly hurt. After exiting in 2019, I have not participated deeply in market making again; at most, I have seen good trading teams to make some investments. Conspiracy theories are always the most popular, but I am not a hexagonal warrior—where is the ability and energy to run projects, exchanges are very clear on this point.
