Citadel Securities President States: Company May Enter Prediction Markets, Focusing on Geopolitical Hedging Rather Than Sports Events

According to The Block, Jim Esposito, President of Citadel Securities, stated on Thursday at the Semafor World Economic Forum in Washington, D.C., that the firm is “fully capable” of providing liquidity to prediction markets—but explicitly expressed no interest in sports-event contracts. Instead, he emphasized the value of prediction markets for hedging geopolitical risks, citing the U.S. midterm elections this November as “one of the greatest risks facing investors’ portfolios.” Esposito noted that as platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket continue to grow rapidly, the prediction market is poised for sustained expansion—naturally drawing Citadel Securities into the space. Notably, Zhao Peng, CEO of Citadel Securities, participated last year in Kalshi’s $185 million funding round.

SEC Chairman: Will Promote On-Chain Capital Market Reform and Clarify Boundaries of Digital Asset Securities

U.S. SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins stated at the 2026 Reagan National Economic Forum that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is advancing a "New Era SEC" regulatory reform, focusing on modernizing digital asset regulation, promoting on-chain capital market development, and supporting the U.S. in becoming a "global crypto hub."Paul Atkins criticized the SEC's previous "regulatory hostility" towards the digital asset industry, alleging that much crypto innovation was forced to relocate overseas. He stated that with the support of the Trump administration, the SEC has launched "Project Crypto" and is collaborating with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to promote on-chain market infrastructure and harmonize crypto regulation. The SEC has recently clarified which digital assets are securities and which are not, and is advancing an innovative exemption mechanism for "tokenized listed securities," while studying how on-chain trading systems can fit within existing regulatory frameworks.Additionally, Paul Atkins emphasized that the SEC will reduce "over-disclosure" and regulatory burdens, promote "Make IPOs Great Again" reforms, including lowering compliance costs for listed companies, increasing IPO flexibility, and formally proposing to repeal the climate disclosure rules introduced under the previous administration. The future of U.S. capital markets should be built on a "free market and innovation-driven" foundation, where the regulator's role is to provide clear rules and legal certainty, not to suppress technological development.

IOTA Announces Kenya, Morocco, and Nigeria as the First Countries to Implement the ADAPT Program

According to an official announcement, the blockchain infrastructure protocol project IOTA has named Kenya, Morocco, and Nigeria as the first countries to implement the ADAPT initiative. These three countries were selected through a rigorous evaluation process assessing their political commitment, regulatory readiness, maturity of digital infrastructure, and private-sector engagement. Launched in November 2025, the African Digital Access and Public Infrastructure for Trade (ADAPT) initiative is spearheaded by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat and co-developed with the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, the World Economic Forum, and the IOTA Foundation. ADAPT aims to build shared digital infrastructure for intra-African trade, covering digital identity, cross-border data exchange, and payment interoperability.

Aave Proposal: Significantly Increase USDC Slope 2 to 50% to Alleviate Liquidity Crisis

According to the Aave Governance Forum, Gordon Liao, a Circle team member, has submitted an ARFC proposal recommending a two-step adjustment to the USDC interest rate model parameters on Aave v3 Ethereum Core to address the current liquidity shortage in the USDC pool. Current context: Following the rsETH incident on April 18, the USDC pool utilization has remained persistently near 100%, with available liquidity falling below $3 million. The borrowing rate has been stuck at the 14% cap for an extended period, and the pool’s total supply has contracted by approximately $60 million over the past 24 hours. As a result, the market is unable to clear via price mechanisms. The proposal’s core measures are as follows: Step 1 (to be executed immediately by Risk Administrators): Increase Slope 2 from 10% to 40%, decrease the optimal utilization rate from 92% to 87%, and temporarily suspend the Slope 2 risk oracle for USDC. Step 2 (to be completed within 5–7 days via governance vote): Further increase Slope 2 to 50% and reduce the optimal utilization rate to 85%. The proposal argues that many current borrowers are insensitive to interest rates and primarily borrow to bypass withdrawal queues and exit positions. Active leverage, meanwhile, is key to attracting new suppliers. Raising the maximum supply rate to the 40%–50% range is expected to draw in USDC liquidity within hours, driving utilization below the kink point and restoring the market’s normal clearing functionality.

The Babylon proposal aims to integrate the Trustless BTC Vault into Aave v4, introducing native Bitcoin as collateral.

Stani, founder of Aave, announced on X that Babylon has published a proposal on the Aave Governance Forum to integrate the Trustless BTC Vault into Aave v4. The proposal introduces two new Aave v4 Spokes to enable native Bitcoin as collateral within the protocol and invites community feedback—aiming to achieve a trustless Bitcoin collateralization model where users can participate in the Aave v4 lending ecosystem without leaving the Bitcoin network. Previously, the Aave DAO also launched a governance proposal to integrate the Babylon protocol into Aave v4, enabling users to borrow and lend using native Bitcoin as collateral—eliminating reliance on wrapped BTC or centralized custodial solutions.

Lido DAO Proposes Authorizing the Use of the First-Loss Fund to Cover Losses from the Kelp Incident

According to the Lido Governance Forum, Lido Earn contributors have submitted a proposal to the DAO requesting authorization to deploy the existing First Loss Reserve to cover losses arising from the Kelp incident, waiving the original 1% threshold requirement. It is estimated that, assuming the DeFi United rescue plan succeeds, the remaining borrowing-rate losses for Lido Earn’s leveraged staking/re-staking positions will amount to approximately 400–600 ETH. Contributors stated they will collaborate with curators to jointly absorb these losses; however, full coverage by curators alone is currently deemed unrealistic. The proposal stresses that this authorization constitutes a one-time exception specific to the Kelp incident and does not alter the standard 1% threshold rule, does not involve additional treasury allocations, and is not intended to subsidize APY or support post-recovery yields. It further notes that if litigation arises from these losses, associated legal costs alone could reach several hundred thousand dollars. Given that the rsETH situation is expected to be resolved within 5–10 days—and considering the standard snapshot voting window is 7 days—the proposers emphasize the time-sensitive nature of this vote. After resolution, the team plans to publish a comprehensive post-mortem report and advance improvements to risk frameworks and operational mechanisms.
