#PredictionMarketsCFTCBacking The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is backing prediction markets, asserting its exclusive jurisdiction over these platforms. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig argues that prediction markets serve legitimate economic functions, allowing users to hedge against commercial risks and providing insights into public sentiment. This move is part of the Trump administration's broader strategy to assert federal jurisdiction over digital financial innovations ¹ ² ³.
The CFTC's stance contrasts with state authorities, who view prediction markets as essentially operating unlicensed sports betting services. States like Nevada and Utah have moved to ban prediction markets, arguing they function as unlicensed gambling operations ¹ ⁴.
The CFTC's position has drawn both support and criticism. Some argue that prediction markets pose risks that require local oversight, while others see them as a valuable tool for risk management and market insight ¹ ⁵.

#TrumpNewTariffs Donald Trump has signed an order imposing a 10% global tariff on imports from all countries, effective almost immediately. This move comes after the US Supreme Court ruled that Trump exceeded his authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose broad tariffs. The new tariff will be temporary, lasting 150 days, and applies to most imports, with exemptions for certain products like pharmaceuticals, critical minerals, and goods under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement ¹ ² ³.
The tariff is expected to generate revenue, with the administration predicting virtually unchanged tariff revenue in 2026. However, the move has sparked concerns about potential trade wars and increased costs for consumers. The European Union, Canada, and other countries have expressed concerns and are studying the ruling
#BTCMiningDifficultyIncrease Bitcoin's mining difficulty recently surged by 15% to 144.4 trillion, marking the largest increase since 2021. This adjustment is designed to maintain a 10-minute block production time, and it's a response to the network's hashrate rebounding after a severe winter storm in the US disrupted mining operations ¹.
The increase in difficulty reflects the growing competition among miners and the network's resilience. Large-scale miners are adapting to the challenges, while smaller miners face pressure on their profit margins ² ³.
*Key Factors Influencing Mining Difficulty:*
- _Hashrate Growth_: The network's computational power has been increasing, driven by industrial-scale miners and large companies. - _Energy Costs_: Rising electricity costs and volatile Bitcoin prices are affecting miners' profitability. - _Network Security_: The increased difficulty enhances the network's security, making it more resistant to attacks.
May the 2026 chart be a massive green candle! Wishing you gas-fees-like wallet growth, and may life's troubles go to zero like a dead project. Happy New Year, see you on-chain in the Year of the Horse!$BTC $ETH $BNB
