Insiders: The cost of the US war against Iran may exceed $25 billion estimate

Federal Reserve Chairman Powell: I stand by my position, and I will not leave until the Department of Justice investigation is fully completed. I will continue to serve as a governor after May 15.
Federal Reserve decision: Steady for the third consecutive time but divisions increase
The Federal Reserve's decision shows that recent indicators suggest the economy is expanding at a solid pace. Job growth has generally been weak, and the unemployment rate has not changed much in recent months. Inflation levels remain high, partly reflecting recent global energy price increases.
The committee is committed to achieving full employment in the long term and maintaining inflation at 2%. Developments in the Middle East are exacerbating the uncertainty of economic prospects. The committee is closely monitoring the risks facing both aspects of its dual mandate.
To support the above goals, the committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3.5%-3.75%. In considering the extent and timing of any further adjustments to the target range, the committee will carefully assess the latest data, changes in the outlook, and risk balances. The committee is firmly committed to supporting full employment and restoring the inflation rate to the 2% target.

Hyperliquid plans to enter prediction markets to challenge Polymarket with zero opening fees
Hyperliquid is accelerating its entry into the prediction market space, planning to compete with platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi through the newly launched “event outcome tokens” mechanism.
According to the latest disclosed fee structure, Hyperliquid adopts a “zero opening fee, closing or settlement charges” model for event transactions, covering various scenarios such as minting, trading, destruction, and settlement. The platform also offers lower trading costs for “aligned quote tokens,” including enhanced market-maker rebates and fee discount mechanisms. This functionality will be introduced via HIP-4 upgrade, enabling users to trade binary contracts based on real-world events within the same account, integrating with existing spot and perpetual contract systems to form a unified trading environment.
The prediction market has seen rapid growth in recent years, with the overall trading volume exceeding $63.5 billion by 2025. Hyperliquid's previously launched HIP-3 has led its permissionless perpetual contract market to account for more than 35% of platform trading volume. Currently, event tokens are still in the testnet phase, with the mainnet launch date yet to be announced, but industry insiders believe it will become an important infrastructure for Hyperliquid to challenge the existing prediction market landscape.

21Shares executive: Bitcoin may hit $100,000 within the year, institutions are accelerating entry
21Shares Chief Investment Officer Adrian Fritz stated that spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to attract fund inflows, reinforcing Bitcoin's core position in institutional asset allocation, even as prices remain fluctuating below $80,000. Adrian Fritz pointed out that year-to-date, Bitcoin ETFs have absorbed nearly $2 billion in funds, with sources including retail investors, institutions, and hedge funds' arbitrage and options strategy trades. As traditional asset management institutions like Morgan Stanley accelerate their layout, crypto assets are increasingly being incorporated into multi-asset portfolio allocations. The daily trading volume of Bitcoin has exceeded $50 billion, with liquidity levels nearing large tech stocks like Nvidia, and the ETF mechanism provides liquidity in both primary and secondary markets, gradually establishing "institution-level asset" properties.
Despite the market still being pressured by macroeconomic conditions and interest rates, Adrian Fritz believes that ETF fund inflows have shifted from being driven by speculation to structural demand, and expects Bitcoin to challenge the $100,000 mark within the year driven by improving geopolitical conditions, continued fund inflows, and short covering. Meanwhile, altcoins are diverging significantly, and the market is shifting towards a logic of asset selection that emphasizes fundamentals and cash flow.
