CertiK Releases 2026 Global Digital Asset Regulation Report: AML Enforcement Intensifies, Smart Contract Audits Become Access Condition
Odaily News, Web3 security company CertiK has released its "2026 State of Digital Asset Regulation" report, systematically reviewing global regulatory trends. The report indicates that as of April 2026, regulatory frameworks in major jurisdictions such as the United States, the European Union, Hong Kong SAR, and Singapore have been largely established, and the industry is entering a phase of comprehensive compliance.The report shows that anti-money laundering (AML) enforcement has replaced securities classification as the primary regulatory risk. In the first half of 2025, global AML-related fines exceeded $900 million, making transaction monitoring capabilities a core compliance requirement. Meanwhile, smart contract security audits are evolving from industry best practices into access conditions, becoming a prerequisite for license approval and token listings. Additionally, global stablecoin regulatory frameworks are converging, with principles such as full reserve backing and licensed issuance becoming widespread, though cross-jurisdictional regulatory differences still pose compliance challenges.The report states that with regulatory convergence and strengthened enforcement, the industry has entered an "era of strong compliance." CertiK indicated that the core challenge for enterprises is shifting from "whether to comply" to "how to quickly build and implement compliance capabilities." Multi-jurisdictional licensing, AML investment, and continuous security audits are becoming fundamental entry requirements for institutional development.
Forbes: BTC Expectations for Return to $80,000 Rise as SEC Chair's Comments at Bitcoin 2026 Conference Draw Attention
: US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins recently reiterated the push for "Project Crypto" and announced plans to jointly develop a digital asset classification framework with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This framework will clarify when a token is deemed a security, while also introducing an "innovation exemption" to support the on-chain trading of tokenized securities.The market believes that the series of initiatives pushed by Paul Atkins represent one of the most aggressive shifts in crypto regulation in SEC history, marking a formal abandonment of the old “regulation by enforcement” model in favor of clear rule-making. This move could release a stronger entry signal for institutional capital that has been on the sidelines, potentially driving Bitcoin's price back above $80,000. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $77,586. The market is now focused on Atkins's further statements at the Bitcoin 2026 conference in late April. (Forbes)

JST Black Hole Address Has Accumulated Over 1.356 Billion Tokens Burned, Deflation Continues
According to TRONSCAN data, the JST treasury address (TZJVQuU3CJqBScwoxhRtkxQ7JjsNNrpEag) has been continuously withdrawing funds from protocol revenues and transferring them to the burn address (T9yD14Nj9j7xAB4dbGeiX9h8unkKHxuWwb) for permanent destruction. To date, the burn address has destroyed over 1.356 billion JST tokens, representing 13.7% of the total supply. All operations are publicly verifiable on-chain.

Hong Kong woman loses HK$7.7 million in cryptocurrency after falling for AI-powered quantitative trading scam
According to Hong Kong 01, a woman met a fraudster on Telegram who claimed to be an “investment expert.” The scammer lured her with promises of stable high returns using “quantitative trading” and “AI algorithms.” Believing the claims, the victim transferred approximately HK$7.7 million worth of USDT and ETH from her e-wallet to wallets designated by the fraudster in 17 separate transactions. When she attempted to withdraw funds, the scammer delayed and refused her requests with various excuses—only then did she realize she had been defrauded. Police warned that “high returns + low risk + low entry barrier” constitutes a 100% fraudulent “impossible triangle,” and urged the public to verify the authenticity of any investment platform before committing funds.
Hyperliquid Eyes Prediction Market, Plans to Explore Zero Opening Fee Model to Challenge Polymarket
Hyperliquid is accelerating its entry into the prediction market arena, planning to compete with platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi through a newly launched "outcome tokens" mechanism.According to the recently disclosed fee structure, Hyperliquid adopts a "zero fee for opening positions, fees for closing or settlement" model for event trading, covering scenarios such as minting, trading, burning, and settlement. The platform also offers lower transaction costs for "aligned quote tokens," including market-making rebate increases and fee discount mechanisms. This feature will be introduced through the HIP-4 upgrade, enabling users to trade binary contracts based on real-world events within a single account, integrated with the existing spot and perpetual contract system to form a unified trading environment.The prediction market has grown rapidly in recent years, with total trading volume exceeding $63.5 billion in 2025. Hyperliquid's previously launched HIP-3 has driven its permissionless perpetual contract market to account for over 35% of the platform's trading volume. Currently, event tokens are still in the testnet phase, and the mainnet launch date has not yet been announced. However, the industry widely expects this to become a crucial infrastructure for Hyperliquid to challenge the existing prediction market landscape. (CoinDesk)

Kalshi CEO: The Potential Market Size for Institutional Risk Transfer Block Trades Could Reach $10-15 Trillion
In response to the first customized commodity trade completed on the Kalshi platform, Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour posted on X platform, "Historically, the bottleneck for institutional risk transfer has been liquidity. The bottleneck for liquidity is the lack of price benchmarks for each type of relevant risk (e.g., WTI for oil). Kalshi has built a large community of top global superforecasters who rank among the world's best at pricing risk. This allows us to create price benchmarks for a broader range of issues faced by people and institutions. Institutions have already begun adopting these price benchmarks by integrating them into traditional asset pricing models. Although work remains, we are seeing rapid expansion in data use cases and integration.""The next phase is utilizing these price benchmarks to transfer risk via block trades and requests for quote (RFQ). This phase is still in its early stages but is beginning to take shape. The market size for risk transfer of non-traditional financial instruments is difficult to estimate. The closest references are the reinsurance market and the derivatives desks of banks: reinsurance is approximately $700 billion; insurance-linked securities and parametric insurance (such as catastrophe bonds) are around $120-135 billion; bank derivatives (structured products, dealer-to-dealer, exotics, etc.) are about $200-400 billion. The current market is roughly $1-1.5 trillion, but most of it is illiquid and traded over-the-counter (OTC, i.e., with a single counterparty). Whenever a major OTC market moves to exchange trading, the market grows significantly due to the establishment of price benchmarks, narrowing bid-ask spreads, the end of Wall Street elite's monopoly on access, and the entry of new participants. For example, interest rate swaps grew 10-15 times, stock options grew 20-30 times, and energy derivatives grew 5-8 times. The institutional use case for prediction markets could form a $10-15 trillion market, with even greater upside potential, depending on the extent to which it democratizes products currently exclusive to Wall Street."

Prediction market trading volume exceeded $25.7 billion in March, driven by retail dominance with crypto becoming the primary entry point
data shows the total trading volume of prediction markets in March 2026 reached $25.7 billion, a month-over-month increase of 10.6%. Trading activity is highly concentrated among small-scale retail users. Among the 1.29 million wallets tracked in the first quarter, 82.3% of users had a trading volume of less than $10,000. The growth primarily came from micro, light, and moderately active user groups, with the overall market exhibiting a structural characteristic of "high-frequency participation, low single-order value."Crypto assets serve as the primary entry point for prediction markets, accounting for 39.6% of micro-user activity. Among these, Bitcoin-related event contracts attracted approximately 593,000 users in the first quarter, with a trading volume of $5.42 billion, making it the most actively participated crypto prediction market. Ethereum and Solana recorded trading volumes of $1.19 billion and $420 million, respectively.By asset class structure, sports markets ranked first with a trading volume of $10.1 billion, followed by political markets ($5 billion), of which geopolitical-related markets accounted for $2.41 billion. The overall trading volume for crypto-related markets reached $7.3 billion.Analysts believe that the growth of prediction markets is primarily driven by "category expansion" rather than an increase in single-order size. Micro users were active for an average of 2.5 days and participated in 1.45 categories, while medium users' activity increased to 9.9 days and participation in 2.34 categories. This indicates that users are transitioning from single-speculation to sustained multi-market participation. (The Block)
