The CFTC chairman set out to limit state enforcement intervention in prediction markets
According to ChainCatcher news, Michael Selig, chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), is working to limit state law enforcement intervention in prediction markets to prevent state-level regulatory measures from hindering the industry's development.
Since taking office a few months ago, Michael Selig has sought to create a more relaxed federal regulatory environment for prediction markets, allowing more U.S. users to trade the outcome of sporting events and other events. Selig has continued to stand up for prediction markets over the past year - in February it issued a warning that it would sue state governments that tried to interfere in regulation, issued compliance guidance in March and publicly solicited industry opinions, and this month said that if it pushed the prediction market offshore, it would repeat the FTX-style collapse.

ZachXBT: Some U.S. law firms only intervene in claims after collecting evidence on-chain, which may affect the efficiency of recovery of victims' assets
ChainCatcher news, "on-chain detective" ZachXBT pointed out on the X platform that some U.S. law firms use their investigative work and on-chain evidence collection results to help victims of hacking incidents file legal claims, but this practice may affect victims to receive compensation or recover funds.
In previous hacking incidents involving Lazarus Group, such law firms usually intervened after the tracking or freezing of their on-chain funds were completed, and proposed follow-up legal actions that were weakly related to the crypto incident itself. ZachXBT also called on the crypto community to set up DAOs to resist such behavior.

"Fed mouthpiece": The policy inflection point has emerged, and the Fed has begun to discuss the possibility of raising interest rates again
ChainCatcher news, according to the Wall Street Journal, "Fed mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos wrote that Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari and other three regional Fed presidents opposed continuing to retain the wording "the next is more likely to cut interest rates" at this week's interest rate meeting, believing that the next interest rate adjustment may be both a rate hike or a rate cut.
Outgoing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said that the committee is gradually shifting from a "tendency to cut interest rates" to a "neutral position", and said that if interest rate hikes are needed in the future, the Fed will first turn neutral and then release a signal to raise interest rates.
Nick Timiraos believes that the discussion within the Fed on the path of interest rates has taken a clear shift, and now the main debate is no longer about when to restart interest rate cuts, but about the conditions under which interest rate hikes may be needed again. Since the Fed began issuing policy statements in 1994, disagreements over how to describe the direction of policy rather than real interest rate changes have been rare.

CryptoQuant analyst: BTC has bottomed out in the medium and long term or at $59,000, and the recent rebound may not be the core of market stabilization
ChainCatcher news, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr posted on the X platform that the adjusted realized price range model based on Bitcoin's current circulating supply calibration shows that this round of Bitcoin's fall to the key range of $59,000 is considered to be the start of a real medium- and long-term bottoming, which is not a short-term process and will not be completed within one to two weeks, and the benchmark scenario is expected to take about 6 months.
Axel Adler Jr emphasized that although Bitcoin has risen recently, the core of what really drives market stabilization is not sentiment repair or a local rebound, but the return of long-term real demand, that is, when the market starts pricing in future value again and spot buying continues to recover, the bottom may be truly established.

Ethereum Foundation: Basically completed the key goal of the Glamsterdam upgrade, and reached a consensus on the lower limit of 200 million gas limit
According to TechFlow news, on May 2, the Ethereum Foundation issued an article summarizing the work of Soldøgn Interop, and has basically completed the key goals of the Glamsterdam upgrade, including reaching a consensus on the lower limit of the 200 million gas limit after the upgrade, achieving stable operation of the ePBS external builder process, and finalizing the EIP-8037 gas repricing parameters. The Glamsterdam upgrade focuses on safely increasing the gas limit to expand Ethereum's throughput capacity, while EIP-8037 will prevent infinite state bloat caused by high gas limits by increasing state creation costs.
The Ethereum Foundation also stated that most clients have completed stable operation on glamsterdam-devnet-2 and successfully tested the entire external builder process. In addition, substantial progress has been made on FOCIL, native account abstraction, and Hegotá upgrades, and core developers will continue to promote client hardening, testing and code merging in the coming weeks, and the final parameters will still be publicly confirmed at the AllCoreDevs meeting.
