Kalshi and Nevada Regulatory Dispute: A Constitutional Clash Between Federal and State Power
In March 2025, the Nevada Gaming Control Board issued Kalshi its first cease-and-desist order, setting off a legal standoff that has lasted more than a year. The core dispute is this: Kalshi argues that its “event contracts” are “swaps” that fall under CFTC jurisdiction and should be subject to exclusive federal oversight; meanwhile, Nevada contends that these contracts are “no different in substance” from sports betting and must obtain a state gaming license in order to operate.

From April 16 to 17, spot gold traded in a tight range of $4,780 to $4,800 per ounce, with the 16th closing basically flat at $4,785.57 and the 17th trading around $4,780 in the Asian session. On the 16th, Trump said the US and Iran were "very close to reaching an agreement," while also hinting that face-to-face negotiations could be resumed in Pakistan this weekend, and announced a 10-day ceasefire with Lebanon. After the news broke, gold prices did not see sharp swings; instead, they moved into a stalemate characterized by a "rally that won’t go up and a fall that won’t go deep."

Gate.io Launches SpaceX Tokenized Stocks: A Double-Edged Sword for Democratizing the Pre-IPO Market

🌟 My take on SpaceX
Founded by Elon Musk in 2002, SpaceX is no longer a typical commercial aerospace company. It has three major core pillars: Starlink satellite internet—over 10,000 satellites in orbit and more than 10 million global users—contributing more than two-thirds of the company’s revenue; the Falcon 9 rocket, thanks to reusable technology, has reduced the cost per launch to one-tenth of the traditional model, and in 2025 launch counts account for 51%

Thirteen years, from a newbie in candlestick charts to a veteran who has weathered bull and bear markets
In the winter of 2014, I saw someone mention "BitEx" on a technical forum. At that time, I had been working for two years, and my understanding of blockchain was still at the level of "I've heard there's something called Bitcoin." With a mindset of trying it out, I registered for Gate—that was my first cryptocurrency account in life.
The most memorable moment was during the 2017 big bull market. I was watching candlestick charts on Gate, watching a certain altcoin I bought surge from a few

#SEC称部分Defi界面可免经纪商注册
On April 13, 2026, the U.S. SEC Division of Trading and Markets issued a staff statement clarifying that certain self-hosted user interfaces, such as DeFi front-ends and wallet extensions, can be exempt from registration as broker-dealers if they meet a series of strict conditions. This move aims to provide clear guidance for the DeFi industry, which faces long-term regulatory uncertainty, and takes effect immediately with a validity period of five years.
The core of compliance is that the interface must maintain absolute neutrality and technical purity: it must not custo

As of April 16th, international spot gold is quoted at $4,795 per ounce, down approximately 1.5% from the recent high of $4,870. During the day, it fluctuated below the key psychological level of $4,800, showing a technical correction trend. Currently, gold prices are testing the support of the recent upward channel's lower boundary and the 5-day moving average (around $4,786). If this support is broken, the next support level is in the $4,745–$4,750 range; resistance above is concentrated near $4,839 and $4,870.
On the macro front, U.S. March CPI and PPI data both exceeded expectations, with

Is the current market trend more inclined toward trend following or swing arbitrage?
The current phase is characterized by trend confusion, making a strategy primarily focused on swing arbitrage with trend following as a supplementary approach more suitable.
· Swing Arbitrage: Bitcoin has formed a clear box structure within the $70,000-$75,000 range. Combined with the continuously negative funding rates and crowded short positions, each test of support is an opportunity for low-buying in swings, while testing resistance is a good time to take partial profits.
· Trend Following: You can set $75

Can this rebound continue? Current profit-making strategies?
From a structural perspective, this rebound has a certain basis for sustainability: institutional funds continue to flow in (ETF inflows of $1.1 billion last week), on-chain activity is increasing, a crowded short position is forming a potential "spring" structure, and regulators are pushing forward with the legislation of the "Clear Act." However, there are still three major obstacles ahead:
1. Geopolitical risks: The enforcement and duration of the Strait of Hormuz blockade remain the biggest variables. If oil prices stay high, inf

Pause period of 20 years vs. short-term compromise? Will Iran make key concessions?
The possibility of short-term concessions exists, but the likelihood of accepting a 20-year comprehensive pause is extremely slim.
Last weekend’s Islamabad negotiations once advanced to 80%, but ultimately collapsed over core terms: the U.S. insisted on a 20-year uranium enrichment freeze, while Iran’s bottom line was only 5 years; additionally, disagreements over the timing of the Strait of Hormuz opening (Iran demands it only after a final peace agreement is reached), disposal of approximately 900 pounds of h

CRCL surges 9%—Legislative tailwinds ignite the crypto sector
USDC issuer Circle Internet Group (CRCL US) saw its stock jump 12.09% in a single day on April 13, closing at $98.68, with trading volume significantly expanding to about 13.57 million shares. The direct catalyst behind the stock breakout was the reopening of the CLARITY Act legislative window after the Senate ended its two-week Easter recess and fully resumed its agenda.
As the issuer of the world’s second-largest stablecoin, USDC, Circle’s business highly depends on regulatory clarity. The market broadly expects that after the CLA

The United States Plans to Block the Strait of Hormuz—“Economic Warfare” Intended to Spark Controversy
The Trump administration’s blockade decision is essentially a dual approach of “economic war” and “military war.” Analysts believe that the core purpose of blocking the Strait of Hormuz is to cut off the key oil revenue of the Iranian government and military operations, thereby weakening Iran’s long-term combat capability.
But this move is facing widespread questioning. Some U.S. lawmakers said: “I don’t understand how blocking the Strait of Hormuz would force Iranians to open the Strait.” On
