Polymarket Accuses Kalshi of Industrial Espionage, Citing "Too Many Coincidences" in Product Launches

Odaily News Prediction market platform Polymarket believes competitor Kalshi may have engaged in industrial espionage targeting its New York office and employees. Polymarket's marketing head confirmed the company is conducting an internal investigation, stating there are "too many coincidences" and suspecting Kalshi of malicious intent.According to reports, Polymarket has internally compiled a file named "The Imitators," documenting approximately a dozen suspicious incidents. These include Polymarket's original plan to launch a free grocery pop-up event on February 12, while Kalshi launched a similar event approximately nine days earlier. Additionally, Polymarket was scheduled to announce its perpetual contract product plans on April 21, but about an hour before the announcement, tech media outlet The Information reported that Kalshi was also preparing to launch a similar product.Polymarket employees are also concerned that the office of venture capital firm Paradigm, which supports Kalshi, is located directly opposite their workspace, potentially allowing for monitoring of employees' computer screens. It is reported that Polymarket installed window film on some office windows this spring.In response, a Kalshi spokesperson denied all allegations, calling Polymarket's suspicions "pathetic and bordering on delusional."

HTX DeepThink: The Warsh Era Begins—Era of Comprehensive Monetary Easing May Be Over, Crypto Market Faces a Paradigm Shift in Liquidity

Chloe (@ChloeTalk1), a columnist for HTX DeepThink and researcher at HTX Research, analyzed that Kevin Warsh’s formal confirmation as Federal Reserve Chair on May 14—by an extremely narrow Senate vote—marks the completion of the most contentious leadership transition at the Fed in decades. Global risk assets, especially the crypto market, are now entering a new phase characterized by “high volatility + high uncertainty.” The biggest current market contradiction lies in the head-on clash between “political pressure for rate cuts” and “real-world inflationary pressures.” Trump continues to demand rapid rate cuts to stabilize the financial environment ahead of the midterm elections. Yet the latest U.S. PPI year-on-year reading stands at 6%, with core PPI at 5.2%—both significantly exceeding market expectations—indicating that energy price increases driven by the Iran war have begun spreading across broader goods and services. Warsh’s stance proves more complex than market expectations. Though viewed by the Trump camp as a candidate “more willing to cut rates,” his long-standing intellectual framework is fundamentally hawkish: he has repeatedly criticized the Fed for excessive market intervention and long opposed unlimited balance-sheet expansion. What he truly advocates is not traditional large-scale monetary easing, but rather a “low-interest-rate environment without QE”: shrinking the balance sheet, reducing market intervention, and simultaneously curbing inflation via AI-driven productivity gains and regulatory relaxation. This implies that the future U.S. dollar liquidity environment will likely differ sharply from the era of unlimited QE seen in 2020–2021.

Bitwise CIO: Privacy Could Be the Next “Killer App,” Arc, Canton, and Tempo Exceed $1 Billion in Total Funding

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated that privacy is becoming a core infrastructure direction for the next phase of the crypto industry. Recently, three institutional-grade blockchains focused on stablecoins and asset tokenization—Arc, Canton, and Tempo—have accumulated over $1 billion in total funding, indicating a rapidly growing demand from institutions for "privacy-friendly on-chain financial systems."Among them, stablecoin issuer Circle contributed $222 million in funding for Arc, giving it a valuation of approximately $3 billion; Digital Asset’s Canton blockchain is reportedly seeking $300 million in funding at a $2 billion valuation; and Tempo, backed by Stripe and Paradigm, has previously completed $500 million in funding at a valuation of $5 billion.Hougan noted that this funding wave reflects three major trends: the gradual clarification of the U.S. regulatory framework, increased institutional demand for on-chain privacy, and intensified competition among new blockchain networks supported by large enterprises. Current public blockchains still face structural trade-offs between speed, cost, security, and privacy. However, scenarios involving stablecoins and RWA tokenization require systems that simultaneously offer high performance, compliance, and privacy, making “verifiable privacy” a critical prerequisite for institutional adoption of on-chain finance.Hougan further stated that, for enterprises, “all transactions being publicly broadcast” is not an advantage but a potential flaw. In the future, users and institutions may find it increasingly difficult to accept a fully transparent on-chain financial environment. He believes that privacy capabilities could become the “killer app” driving the crypto industry into its next phase of mainstream adoption. Additionally, following the passage of the U.S. Genius Act in 2025, regulatory certainty has significantly increased, providing a clearer policy foundation for institutional funds to enter the crypto infrastructure space.

Paradigm Partner Proposes PACTs Mechanism to Provide Protection Path for Quantum-Vulnerable Bitcoin Addresses

Odaily Odaily, Dan Robinson, General Partner at Paradigm, has proposed "Provable Address Control Timestamps" (PACTs) mechanism, aiming to provide a protection path for Bitcoin addresses under the potential threat of quantum computing. The scheme allows coin holders to generate on-chain commitments using address control proofs via BIP-322, combined with a random salt value. It utilizes OpenTimestamps for temporal anchoring, establishing proof of ownership without revealing wallet information. If quantum-vulnerable addresses are frozen in the future through a soft fork, users can submit STARK zero-knowledge proofs when spending to unlock assets. The mechanism also offers a potential recovery path for wallets derived based on BIP-32, but its implementation still relies on Bitcoin introducing STARK verification capabilities and obtaining community consensus.

Paradigm researcher proposes timestamp escape mechanism to protect early Bitcoin from quantum computing threats

Paradigm researcher Dan Robinson proposed a new scheme called PACT (Prove Address Control with Timestamp), aimed at protecting long-dormant Bitcoin, including Satoshi Nakamoto's early addresses, from future quantum computing attacks.The mechanism allows users to prove control over an address via a timestamp without transferring assets or exposing on-chain activity. Should a future quantum attack occur, assets can be recovered based on this proof within a quantum-resistant version of the Bitcoin network.Compared to mandatory migration schemes such as BIP-361, PACT avoids the privacy exposure issues caused by proactively transferring assets, offering long-term holders a more flexible proactive protection path.

Paradigm-Backed Project Succinct Launches Anti-AI Spoofing Camera App ZCAM

Succinct Labs, backed by Paradigm, has launched the iPhone camera app ZCAM, which uses cryptographic technology to generate a "digital fingerprint" for photos and videos, addressing the risk of forgery brought by AI-generated content (AIGC).ZCAM can sign images at the moment of capture, creating an immutable record and binding the content to the capture device. This allows users to independently verify whether the footage comes from a genuine device, has been tampered with, or was generated by AI.Unlike solutions that rely on AI detection, Succinct chooses to start at the device hardware level, generating a unique cryptographic signature for each shot. The company states that existing AI detection tools are prone to failure, whereas this approach enhances the reliability of authenticity verification.Similar projects include World, which reduces risks by distinguishing between real people and AI identities.
