Odaily Odaily News: Curated Exchange was officially launched on May 29, 2026. The project was initiated by open-source developers and research scholars. Its underlying theory is based on the academic paper "Decentralized Market Formation" published on SSRN in May this year. The core proposition is to establish a more effective mechanism for discovering, screening, and selecting long-tail assets through a low-cost multi-exchange parallel structure.Any individual, community, or institution can deploy a dedicated vertical trading portal with zero barriers, screen assets, and earn fees. All Venues share the same underlying liquidity. Different from the centralized coin-listing decisions of CEXs and the non-screening mechanism of AMMs, DMF replaces capital access with cognitive access—Curators act as asset gatekeepers based on professional judgment rather than capital scale, ensuring that high-quality long-tail assets are systematically discovered through Curators with reputational constraints.Curated positions itself as a neutral infrastructure provider, avoiding commercial competition with ecosystem participants, and will fully open-source its code in the future. The testnet will be officially launched in June 2026.
prediction market platform Kalshi has announced support for the establishment of a new prediction market lobbying organization, Americans for Fair Markets, and has appointed Taylor Budowich, former White House Deputy Chief of Staff under the Trump administration, as a strategic advisor. The organization will confront the sports betting and casino industries, which it alleges are "trying to maintain their monopoly and spread misinformation about prediction markets to policymakers."According to reports, Americans for Fair Markets will push for federal-level regulatory policy for prediction markets and launch paid advocacy campaigns to counter what it calls "false narratives" about the industry. The organization will also join a broader industry lobbying camp, including the Coalition for Prediction Markets, which was founded in December 2025 with support from Coinbase, Crypto.com, and Robinhood.On the same day, the U.S. House of Representatives launched an investigation into Kalshi and its main competitor, Polymarket, focusing on how the platforms handle insider trading issues. As prediction markets face increased scrutiny in the United States and globally, related regulatory controversies continue to escalate.Kalshi stated that the new organization will support the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) regulation of prediction markets and will advocate for KYC requirements, a ban on insider trading, and restrictions on markets related to violence and terrorism under a federal regulatory framework. John Bivona, Head of Government Relations at Kalshi, said: "We will not be outspent or out-organized by established interests trying to protect their monopoly." (Cointelegraph)
