ONDO Crypto Surges with Franklin Templeton Partnership

Ondo crypto is trading against the grain. While broad crypto markets bleed, ONDO is posting a notable intraday gain, up roughly +5% on the day, trading at $0.262, while most altcoins are dropping heavily. The catalyst appears institutional, and the timing is deliberate. A freshly announced partnership with Franklin Templeton has injected rare narrative momentum into a token that, technically speaking, still has a long road to recovery. Ondo Finance and Franklin Templeton have confirmed a collaboration to tokenize five of Franklin Templeton’s exchange-traded funds on the Ondo Global Markets…

ARK Invest Integrates Kalshi Prediction Market Data Into Investments

ARK Invest has announced it will incorporate Kalshi prediction market data into its investment process, using real-time probability signals to inform macroeconomic research, monitor performance indicators, and support risk management and hedging strategies. The move positions ARK among a small but growing cohort of institutional managers treating event contract markets as a legitimate alternative data source rather than a speculative sideshow. ARK founder and CEO Cathie Wood framed the adoption as a logical institutional step. “Bringing prediction markets into institutional workflows is a natural next step for innovation in financial…

Filing Dispels $368M Sell-Off Rumor

GameStop (GME) has confirmed it retained all 4,710 Bitcoin in its treasury, valued at approximately $368.4 million as of January 31, 2026, ending two months of sell-off speculation triggered by an onchain transfer to Coinbase Prime. The disclosure, contained in the company’s 10-K annual report filed Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission, formally closes the overhang that had shadowed GME’s Bitcoin position since January. The confirmation removes 4,710 BTC from the pool of coins the market had priced as potential sell-side supply — a distinction that carries structural weight…

US Congressman to Ban Staff From Trading on Prediction Markets

A sitting member of Congress has introduced legislation to prohibit congressional staff from trading on prediction markets platforms, extending a wave of bipartisan legislative activity that has produced at least six distinct bills since January 2026 targeting the sector’s intersection with insider information. The move reflects growing institutional discomfort with a market structure that, by design, prices political outcomes—and therefore creates direct financial incentives for those with privileged access to government decision-making to trade on it. We suspect this latest proposal is less about prediction markets as a financial instrument…

Nvidia Faces Class Action Over Alleged Crypto Mining Revenue Disclosure Gaps

A class action lawsuit revived in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California is targeting Nvidia Corporation over allegations that the chipmaker systematically misclassified and obscured graphics processing unit (GPU) revenue derived from crypto mining, misrepresenting the composition of its gaming segment to investors during one of the most volatile periods in digital asset markets. The complaint, operating under the case originally styled In re NVIDIA Corp. Securities Litigation (Case No. 21-cv-02899), alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5…

Circle Unfreezes One Blacklisted Crypto Wallet Following Backlash

Circle, the issuer of USD Crypto Coin (USDC), has reversed the blacklisting of one wallet among sixteen addresses it froze late Monday, March 23, following sharp public criticism from on-chain investigators and industry advocacy groups who characterized the original action as overbroad and potentially damaging to unrelated businesses. The reversal came within days of the freeze, an unusually rapid turnaround for a stablecoin issuer whose compliance decisions typically track sealed legal proceedings that unfold over months. The episode exposes a structural tension that USDC holders — particularly those in decentralized…

Coinbase Again Declines to Support Updated Clarity Act Draft

Coinbase has again declined to endorse the updated draft of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act), the House-passed legislation designed to partition regulatory authority over digital assets between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The exchange’s continued opposition, most recently articulated by Chief Executive Brian Armstrong on X, comes as Senate negotiators attempt to reconcile a 278-page Banking Committee draft with competing industry priorities and White House timelines. The refusal marks the second time Coinbase has withheld institutional support from a…

XRP USD Price Outlook: Ripple Fails to Breach $1.60, What Next?

XRP USD is clinging to a narrow ledge. The token trades near $1.38 as of late March 2026, down roughly -2.6% over the prior 24 hours, after a failed attempt to reclaim $1.60 earlier in the week left a textbook bearish pin bar on the daily chart. The broader numbers frame a difficult picture. XRP has shed approximately 40% year-to-date from its December 2025 high of $3.65, even as on-chain activity hits records: 2.7M daily transactions and 7.7M active wallets signal a network that keeps growing while the price corrects.…
