According to Cointelegraph, Stable Sea, an enterprise treasury management platform, has integrated WisdomTree’s tokenized U.S. Treasury money market fund WTGXX onto its platform, enabling corporate clients to allocate idle funds into the fund to generate returns. As of April 28, WTGXX’s total assets under management stood at $857.6 million, with a daily yield of 3.43%. WTGXX primarily invests in short-term U.S. Treasury securities; its shares are recorded on-chain, supporting faster settlement and automated trading. Stable Sea’s core functionality automatically sweeps corporate cash balances into yield-bearing instruments—and this integration extends that capability to tokenized funds. Clients remain subject to standard compliance review processes. Tokenized money market funds are now accelerating institutional adoption. WisdomTree has received SEC approval for 24/7 trading of WTGXX; Franklin Templeton is collaborating with Binance to promote tokenized fund shares as over-the-counter (OTC) collateral; and Standard Chartered has launched a framework enabling BlackRock’s tokenized Treasury fund to serve as collateral for trading on OKX.
Odaily Seer Channel monitoring shows that the Polymarket probability of "Powell leaving the Fed Board of Governors before May 30" has plummeted, now at 9%, down 25% in 24 hours; the probability of "Powell leaving the Fed Board of Governors before December 31" has dropped to 66%, down 11% in 24 hours.The rules for this event contract are: If Federal Reserve Chair Powell is no longer a member of the Board of Governors at any point during the target date (by 11:59 PM Eastern Time), it will be judged as "Yes"; otherwise, it will be judged as "No." If Powell steps down as Fed Chair but remains a member of the Board of Governors, this does not meet the "Yes" condition. The judgment is based on information released by the U.S. government, but a consensus of credible reports may also serve as the basis.At this morning's press conference, Powell stated that after stepping down as Chair, he would remain on the Fed Board of Governors for "some time" and pledged to "keep a low profile." U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent responded, saying, "If Powell remains on the Board of Governors as a Fed Governor, that would be extraordinary. For someone who has always emphasized norms, his unilateral decision goes against tradition."The Odaily Seer Channel continues to monitor prediction markets, seeing the changes before they are priced in.
According to an official announcement by Puffer Finance, the liquid staking protocol Puffer Finance has allocated treasury funds to Aave’s DeFi United program to demonstrate its support for infrastructure development. Puffer Finance stated that, as a liquid staking protocol centered on security, it believes robust infrastructure and consistent incentive mechanisms are fundamental to ensuring DeFi’s resilience during critical moments.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent posted on X platform, stating that through economic sanctions, the Treasury has taken action against Iran's international shadow banking infrastructure, cryptocurrency access channels, shadow fleet, weapons procurement network, regional terrorist proxies' funding, and Chinese independent refineries supporting Iran's oil trade. These actions have disrupted hundreds of billions of dollars in revenues that could have been used to finance terrorism. Under the US President's maximum pressure campaign, Tehran's inflation rate has doubled, and its currency has depreciated rapidly. Iran's main oil export terminal, Kharg Island, is nearing its storage capacity limits, which will force the regime to cut oil production, resulting in an additional daily loss of approximately $170 million in revenue and causing permanent damage to Iran's oil infrastructure. The Treasury will continue to apply maximum pressure, and any individuals, vessels, or entities assisting Tehran's illicit flows face the risk of US sanctions.
According to The Block, Bernstein analysts stated in their latest report that the fundamentals of the crypto market are continuously improving. Bitcoin’s recent low of $60,000 has formed a clear bottom, and with the current price approaching $80,000, a longer-term structural bull market is likely, driven by institutional demand. Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani highlighted the following key drivers: • Ongoing expansion of institutional channels: Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin ETF and Charles Schwab’s spot Bitcoin/Ethereum trading platform have both recently launched; approximately 60% of Bitcoin supply has remained unmoved for over one year, indicating a stabilizing holder structure; • Persistent accumulation by Strategy: Its STRC perpetual preferred stock product has attracted yield-oriented investors, and its current holdings stand at 818,334 BTC; • Stablecoin demand hits an all-time high: Stablecoin supply has surpassed $30 billion, decoupling from the crypto market’s price cycle and reflecting sustained real-world payment and settlement demand; • Tokenized real-world assets accelerating growth: Tokenized private credit and Treasury assets now total $34.5 billion, representing a 110% year-on-year increase. Bernstein also cautioned that quantum computing poses a long-term potential risk, though it expects the blockchain ecosystem to have ample time to complete the transition to post-quantum security.
On April 17, South Africa’s National Treasury released the Draft Capital Flow Management Regulations (2026) for public consultation. The draft proposes incorporating crypto assets into the foreign exchange control framework to address associated risks and strengthen oversight of emerging financial instruments. It also aims to align the foreign exchange control framework with recommendations from the OECD and the FATF on combating money laundering, terrorist financing, and illicit financial flows, further clarifying exemptions, licensing requirements, and conditions of application, while imposing administrative penalties for violations.
the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has announced sanctions against Cambodian Senator Kok An, accusing him of controlling "fraud compounds" across the country that defrauded U.S. victims through crypto investment scams.According to an OFAC statement released on Thursday, in addition to Kok An, 28 other individuals and entities have been added to the sanctions list, all believed to be linked to his fraud network. The network allegedly lured victims into sending crypto assets by promising "high-return investments."This action follows a raid by Cambodian police on two fraud centers in the border town of Poipet. Kok An had previously been accused of operating fraud hubs in that area.OFAC stated that fraudsters typically gain victims' trust by establishing "friendships" or "romantic relationships," then guide them to participate in so-called crypto investment platforms to defraud funds, with total losses reaching millions of dollars.Notably, some individuals involved in the fraudulent activities are themselves victims of human trafficking, forced to engage in illegal acts under threats of violence. OFAC pointed out that these fraud centers are often located in casinos or repurposed office parks, serving not only as hubs for money laundering but also as bases for committing fraud and human rights abuses against U.S. citizens.Additionally, regulators have simultaneously seized over 500 domain names of fake websites used for crypto investment scams, indicating that the U.S. is further intensifying its crackdown on related criminal activities.
Odaily News Aurise Foundation announced the launch of the yield-bearing gold token XAUE on Ethereum, designed to serve as a yield-bearing treasury for Tether Gold (XAU₮). XAUE targets compliant institutional participants, introducing crypto-native yield to traditional non-yielding gold through quantitative strategies and institutional lending, transforming it into a programmable and capital-efficient on-chain asset.Current ecosystem partners Aurelion and Antalpha have jointly contributed 16,052 XAU₮ (approximately $76 million) to XAUE. The protocol employs an exchange rate growth model, where the gold value pegged to each XAUE increases as yields accumulate, and it will integrate with more decentralized finance protocols such as DEXs in the future.

According to the official announcement, Layer 1 public blockchain Pharos has unveiled the tokenomics for its native token PROS, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens. The initial supply allocation is as follows: Foundation Treasury (16%), Lab Co. Treasury (9%), Team (20%), Investors (20%), Ecosystem & Community (21%—including 6% for community airdrops: 1% unlocked at TGE and 5% reserved for future community growth and airdrop incentives), and Node & Liquidity Incentives (14%).

PROS serves multiple functions: transaction fees, PoS staking, validator participation, governance, ecosystem incentives, and potential RWA-specific use cases. The staking issuance policy adopts a phased approach: zero inflation during the first six months following mainnet launch; starting in Month 7, annual inflation is set at 5%, subject to dynamic adjustment by the Foundation based on network operational conditions.
According to CoinDesk, Liz Truss—former UK Prime Minister and the shortest-serving in British history—said in an interview that the UK economy is on a “very negative trajectory,” with high taxation, excessive regulation, and energy costs making entrepreneurship “a risk rarely worth the reward.” She attributed inflation and wealth inequality to “currency devaluation” and noted that discussions about monetary policy within government have become “taboo”—a phenomenon she described as “quite alarming.” Truss said she is “very interested” in Bitcoin, viewing it as a vital tool for countering currency devaluation and resisting centralized financial control. She revealed she first encountered Bitcoin during her tenure as Chief Secretary to the Treasury. She is now actively building CPAC UK and plans to host a three-day conference bringing together entrepreneurs and activists to advance a movement for “sovereignty and freedom,” declaring outright: “There are only two options—either sink or radically transform.”

Odaily News As the U.S. midterm elections approach, the White House is accelerating efforts to promote a crypto market structure bill to ease the long-standing disputes between the banking industry and the crypto sector.Reports indicate that multiple parties, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, White House crypto advisor Patrick Witt, and related policy figures, have recently publicly called for advancing this bill. The U.S. Council of Economic Advisers has also released a report addressing the banking industry's concerns about the crypto sector.Analysts suggest that, based on the timing, the current period may be a critical window for promoting relevant legislation, but uncertainty remains regarding whether the bill can be smoothly passed.

According to CryptoSlate, the White House Council of Economic Advisers recently released a research report stating that banning stablecoin yields offers only minimal protection for bank lending, yet would significantly reduce consumers’ ability to earn returns through digital cash. This conclusion directly undermines the banking industry’s core argument in favor of yield restrictions and provides new policy support for the CLARITY Act. Currently, Treasury Secretary Bessent and SEC Chair Atkins have both publicly endorsed the bill, indicating growing alignment between the executive branch and regulatory agencies. However, the Senate Banking Committee has yet to announce a timeline for reviewing the legislation, and political maneuvering remains the largest uncertainty. Analysts note that if the committee completes its review before the summer recess, the bill’s chances of passage will rise substantially; otherwise, it faces the dual risks of electoral pressures and legislative delays.

Earlier, the U.S. Treasury Secretary urged Congress to swiftly pass the CLARITY Act.
