Michael Selig, chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), announced that the agency is pushing to limit state intervention in the prediction market to prevent state-level regulations from hindering or even stifling the industry's development. Reports indicate that Selig, a sports enthusiast himself, has a large collection of sports memorabilia in his office, a testament to his long-standing focus on the sports prediction market. Since taking office several months ago, he has quickly begun work to create a more relaxed federal regulatory environment for the prediction market, enabling more U.S. users to participate in prediction trading of sporting events and other outcomes.

The Ethereum Foundation has announced significant progress in achieving the primary goals of the Glamsterdam upgrade. According to NS3.AI, the foundation has reached a consensus on establishing a 200 million Gas Limit floor. The upgrade involves ensuring the stable operation of the external Builder process for ePBS and finalizing parameters for EIP-8037 gas repricing.

MegaETH head PaperImperium disclosed on the X platform that documents from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York show that a U.S. court has issued an injunction against Arbitrum DAO, prohibiting it from transferring approximately $71 million worth of ETH assets frozen in the KelpDAO hack. In response, "chain detective" ZachXBT posted on the X platform, stating that some U.S. law firms are using their investigative work and on-chain evidence to help victims of hacking incidents file legal claims, but this practice actually hinders victims from receiving compensation/recovery funds. ZachXBT added that in previous hacks involving the Lazarus Group, such law firms typically intervene only after the on-chain funds have been traced or frozen, and then file follow-up legal actions that are weakly related to the crypto incident itself. They have also used similar strategies in cases like Harmony and Bybit, engaging in "free-riding" claims. He called on the crypto community to establish a DAO to resist such behavior.

MegaETH executive PaperImperium disclosed on the X platform documents from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, revealing that a U.S. court has issued an injunction against Arbitrum DAO, prohibiting it from transferring approximately $71 million worth of ETH assets frozen in the KelpDAO hack. The plaintiffs sought to use these funds to enforce outstanding judgments against North Korea for terrorism, abduction, and other related cases, and have applied for substituted service of process to send legal notice to Arbitrum DAO, designating it as a potentially accountable "partnership." The court documents also state that Arbitrum DAO has a Security Council governed by ARB holders, possessing the capability to act in emergency situations; therefore, members who refuse to cooperate may face contempt of court and other legal liabilities. The market believes this case could become a significant example of the U.S. judicial system directly constraining DAO governance structures, further highlighting the compliance pressures on DeFi protocols within the existing legal framework.

The Ethereum Foundation (ETH) has released a summary of the Soldøgn Interop work, noting that key goals for the Glamsterdam upgrade have been largely achieved. These include reaching consensus on a post-upgrade gas limit of 200 million, ensuring stable operation of the ePBS external Builder process, and finalizing the EIP-8037 gas repricing parameters. The Glamsterdam upgrade focuses on securely increasing the gas limit to expand Ethereum's throughput, while EIP-8037 will prevent high gas limits from causing unlimited state expansion by increasing state creation costs. The ETH also stated that most clients are now running stably on glamsterdam-devnet-2, and the entire external Builder process has been successfully tested. Furthermore, substantial progress has been made on FOCIL, native account abstraction, and Hegotá upgrade-related features. In the coming weeks, core developers will continue to harden clients, refine testing, and merge code. The final parameters will be publicly confirmed at the AllCoreDevs conference.

According to Odaily, 10x Research founder Markus Thielen posted on X platform that Bitcoin has now risen above the 7-day and 30-day moving averages, with short-term and medium-term trends remaining bullish. It has gained 1.1% in the past week. News of continued institutional buying and ongoing accumulation by large corporate treasuries has further boosted market confidence. However, influenced by the historical pattern of "buy the rumor, sell the news," the market subsequently experienced a brief consolidation.Markus Thielen analyzed that hints from White House advisors about an upcoming major announcement regarding national strategic reserves have also strengthened bullish market sentiment. With Bitcoin's dominance rate remaining above 60%, some altcoins are quietly forming a bottom driven by fundamental catalysts. Projects related to privacy coins and RWA infrastructure are particularly worth paying close attention to.

Alex Thorn, Research Director at Galaxy, stated in an article on the X platform that after in-depth discussions with several Bitcoin industry figures regarding quantum computing and Bitcoin issues, he believes the market is gradually reaching a consensus: First, Satoshi Nakamoto's approximately 1.1 million BTC (distributed across approximately 22,000 P2PK addresses) should not be used arbitrarily. Infringing upon his property rights to address quantum risks could damage Bitcoin's core value proposition. Even in extreme circumstances where these BTC are transferred, the market has a strong capacity to absorb them, and the risk can be further mitigated through solutions such as "Hourglass." Second, promoting research, testing, and signature compression of new encryption technologies such as quantum-resistant (PQ) cryptography for Bitcoin is a positive direction, allowing for the preparation of contingency plans. However, it is crucial to avoid prematurely pushing for protocol-level implementation, which could lead to consensus deadlock or introduce unverified new risks. Even if the quantum threat has only a 1% chance of affecting Bitcoin, continued research is worthwhile.

A draft OPEC+ statement indicates that seven OPEC+ countries have agreed to raise their June oil production target by approximately 188,000 barrels per day, marking the third consecutive month of increases. This move aims to demonstrate the organization's readiness to increase supply after the war. Sources say that despite the UAE's withdrawal from the organization this week, OPEC+ will continue to pursue its production increase plan. The seven member countries meeting on Sunday are Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Oman. A report released by OPEC last month stated that the average daily crude oil production of all OPEC+ members in March was 35.06 million barrels, a decrease of 7.7 million barrels per day from February, with Iraq and Saudi Arabia experiencing the largest production cuts due to export restrictions. The draft statement indicates that the seven member countries will meet again on June 7. (Jinshi)
