The Investment Advisory Committee under the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong released a special article on market forecasting: The public should reflect on the nature of investment.
The Investment Committee under the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) issued a document titled “Understanding the Nature of Investment through Prediction Markets,” which states: Prediction markets are speculative markets created for the purpose of making predictions. Trading activities or contracts in prediction markets are not investment products. Key features include: events subject to prediction, trading mechanisms, trading prices, and payouts. Before considering any investment, investors should carefully consider the investment’s value, asset allocation, and regulatory safeguards. The Investment Committee notes that members of the public engaging in trading activities on prediction markets are not protected by the Securities and Futures Ordinance or any regulations enforced by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission. Should problems arise, redress may be difficult—or even impossible—to obtain.

Vercel: Unauthorized Access to Internal Systems Following Breach of Third-Party AI Tool; No Sensitive Data Tampered With
Vercel has released an analysis of a security incident, stating that certain internal systems were accessed without authorization. The breach originated from a third-party AI tool, Context.ai, used by an employee, which was compromised. Attackers leveraged this to take over the employee’s Google Workspace account and access some environment configuration data. Preliminary impact assessment indicates that a small number of customers’ environment variables—unmarked as “sensitive” (e.g., API keys, tokens)—may have been exposed. Affected users have been notified and advised to immediately rotate their credentials. At present, there is no evidence that data explicitly marked as “sensitive” or the supply chain (e.g., npm packages) has been tampered with. Vercel notes that the attackers demonstrated a high level of technical sophistication. The company is collaborating with Mandiant and multiple security organizations to investigate the incident and has filed a report with law enforcement. Vercel also confirms that its platform services remain fully operational. Users are advised to enable multi-factor authentication, comprehensively rotate potentially exposed environment variables, and review account activity logs and deployment records to mitigate further risk.
Jupiter Responds to Vercel Security Incident: Unaffected, Key Rotation Completed and Ongoing Monitoring
According to an official announcement, in response to the recent Vercel platform security incident, Jupiter (@JupiterExchange) stated that it has received no notifications or indications of impact, and its jup.ag frontend does not store any sensitive information. Jupiter has proactively implemented all security measures recommended by Vercel, completed rotation of all keys, and conducted a comprehensive review of system logs—no suspicious activity was found. Monitoring remains ongoing.
Morgan Stanley Lists Asset Tokenization as a Key Growth Focus for the Next Phase
According to FinanceFeeds, Morgan Stanley stated that real-world asset tokenization has become the “next major step” for its global business and is now a strategic priority in its initiative to upgrade traditional financial infrastructure using blockchain. The firm plans to integrate traditional and digital assets within regulated environments, advance near real-time on-chain settlement, and launch an institutional digital wallet in the second half of 2026—supporting tokenized traditional investment products as well as crypto assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley is also advancing the development of a tokenized private equity secondary market and building both on-chain and off-chain settlement processes.
QCP: BTC Monthly Gain Exceeds 14%; Geopolitical and Security Incidents Disrupt Market Sentiment
QCP Group’s analysis states that U.S.-Iran negotiations have once again collapsed, while the Middle East ceasefire continues, leaving the overall geopolitical landscape relatively static. A shooting incident occurred at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, with Trump suspected as the target. Following Asia’s market open, BTC briefly surged past $79,000 and ETH above $2,400—but gains quickly reversed amid concerns triggered by news of Iran’s Foreign Minister traveling to Russia for talks with Putin. Since early April, BTC has rallied over 14% cumulatively, marking four consecutive weeks of positive closes. Spot ETFs recorded nine straight days of net inflows totaling approximately $2.11 billion. Strategy funds added over $3.8 billion worth of BTC in the past month. The current key resistance level for BTC lies near the CME gap around $82,000. BTC perpetual contract funding rates remain persistently negative; a breakout above this level could trigger short-covering. Implied volatility continues declining, and risk-reversal skew has narrowed somewhat, signaling gradually rising market interest in upside exposure. Key events this week: - April 29: Earnings reports from Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Google, plus the FOMC interest-rate decision. - April 30: Apple earnings report, U.S. Q1 GDP data, and March PCE inflation data.
CryptoQuant Analyst: BTC Holding Above $83,000 Is Key to Market Recovery
CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler stated that, following the market pressure release in spring, selling pressure from short-term holders (STH) has significantly eased. The Bitcoin market’s recovery remains ongoing, with the current price approaching the STH cost basis. The key catalyst for the next leg of price movement lies in whether Bitcoin can sustainably hold above the ~$83,000 STH cost level. Only a confirmed breakout and stabilization above this level will allow the market to further validate the actual selling pressure from short-term holders—and determine whether such pressure will re-emerge to suppress prices again.
BIT Weekly Report: Multi-dimensional Technical Signals for Bitcoin Converge Bullishly; $73,000 Becomes the Key Threshold for Reversal Confirmation
According to BIT on Target’s weekly report, the Bitcoin bear market phase may be nearing its end, with multiple time-frame signals gradually converging. The weekly stochastic oscillator has declined to its lowest level since January 2023—a reading that historically corresponds to market bottom zones. Meanwhile, the trend model has also turned bullish, and the current price action exhibits stronger continuity conditions compared to the previous two signal reversals. On the price front, Bitcoin is currently consolidating near $70,000, gradually approaching its 21-week moving average—the critical bull-bear demarcation line. The report notes that $73,000 has served as a key inflection point since March 2024; a decisive breakout and sustained hold above this level would further confirm the reversal signal. On-chain capital inflow data shows a recent monthly inflow of approximately $1 billion—marking a clear improvement over prior periods of deep net outflows. The report also cautions that, before prices enter the target zone, the upward momentum may still be disrupted by short-term risk factors.
Analysis: Bitcoin Approaches Key $80,000 Level, Institutional Funds and Whale Buying Provide Support, but Breakthrough Still Awaits Confirmation
Bitcoin is once again approaching the $80,000 mark. Market analysis suggests that this level has become a key resistance point to test the strength of the current rebound. On the capital front, continued institutional inflows are providing support. Data shows that Bitcoin spot ETFs have recorded net inflows for six consecutive days, while Ethereum spot ETFs have also seen inflows for nine straight days, indicating a recovery in risk appetite. Meanwhile, whale addresses holding over 1,000 BTC have cumulatively added approximately 270,000 BTC over the past 30 days, marking the largest monthly increase since 2013, and exchange reserves have fallen to their lowest point in seven years.In terms of on-chain data, Glassnode points out that Bitcoin has reclaimed the "Realized Price" (approximately $78,100). However, the cost basis for short-term holders sits around $80,100, forming a direct pressure zone. Should the price reach this range, over 54% of short-term investors would be in profit, a scenario historically associated with the peak of a rebound phase. At the same time, the perpetual contract funding rate remains negative, indicating a significant short position. Given the ongoing improvement in spot demand, this could provide short-squeeze momentum for a subsequent upward move.In summary, while the capital structure and market resilience have improved, the $80,000 level remains a key watershed. The market has yet to confirm whether it can transition from a resistance level to a support level. (The Block)

Analyst: Bitcoin Returns to Key Cost Line, Short-Term Buyers Mostly Break Even
Odaily News Grayscale analyst Zach Pandl disclosed data showing that Bitcoin has rebounded over 20% from its low of around $63,000 in early February. The current price is approximately $76,000, slightly above the average cost (realized price) of about $74,000 for buyers over the past 1 to 3 months. This means most short-term investors have returned to the break-even range.Analysis suggests that if the price rises further, more recent buyers will enter a profitable state, which is often considered one of the important signals in the early stages of a bull market. However, Bitcoin remains below its high from last October. Market views indicate that this round of recovery may have formed a relatively solid interim bottom in the range of $65,000 to $70,000.

MegaETH will conduct TGE on April 30
MegaETH has completed its first Key Performance Indicator (KPI), with 10 "Mega Mafia" applications officially launched within its ecosystem, and will conduct its TGE on April 30.It is reported that MegaETH previously linked its token release mechanism to actual business performance, rather than a traditional time-based unlock model. The first KPI required applications to demonstrate real user interaction capabilities, including conditions such as cumulative trading volume exceeding 100,000 transactions within 30 days for a single application, which has now been achieved. A co-founder of MegaETH stated that this move aims to ensure the network has real use cases and economic circulation before the token issuance, rather than relying solely on market expectations.Currently, the MegaETH ecosystem has incubated approximately 30 projects, covering areas such as stablecoin payments, yield tokenization, and on-chain lending. The total supply of MEGA tokens is 10 billion, with 53.3% to be gradually released based on subsequent KPIs. (The Block)

Polymarket Market Report: Top 10 Most Volatile Markets Among 20,000+, Crypto Events Account for 40%
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Polysights, a third-party prediction market data platform, posted on X platform that it has analyzed over 20,000 Polymarket markets in the past 6 months and provided a volatility ranking. Key findings are as follows:- Crypto-related markets accounted for four of the top ten, exhibiting high information asymmetry, with very few people able to make truly accurate predictions.- Deadline anxiety phenomenon emerged, with questions involving "Will X happen by [date]" being more prone to volatility than "Who will win".- Market outcomes tend towards "Yes" — in markets over $1 million, "Yes" outcomes occur 50% of the time, compared to only 27% overall; when markets experience extreme volatility, the final result is mostly "Yes".- Medium-sized markets ($1 million to $7 million) represent a chaotic zone; markets above $10 million exhibit smoother price trends due to the involvement of large capital inflows.
