What to know:

Coinbase (COIN) has rolled out its new prediction market platform to U.S. users, enabling them to trade on the outcomes of real-world events including elections, sports, collectibles, and economic indicators.
The platform, announced in December, is built in partnership with Kalshi, a U.S.-regulated prediction market operator recently valued at $11 billion. Kalshi offers event-based contracts that function like simplified derivatives—traders buy “yes” or “no” positions on specific outcomes, with the price of each contract reflecting the probability assigned by the market.

The launch, which the crypto exchange announced in a post on X on Wednesday, brings prediction markets to Coinbase’s U.S. user base for the first time, just in time for one of the biggest sports events of the year, the Super Bowl.
Prediction markets have gained renewed attention in the past year with many new entrants competing in the market. Trading volumes on platforms like Polymarket have surged as more users look to express political and economic views through on-chain financial products. These markets are often used to gauge real-time public sentiment and probabilities, with some investors treating them as alternative data sources.
Coinbase’s move into the space could give the sector a significant boost in visibility and liquidity, particularly as it offers access to users through an existing regulated platform. The crypto exchange has long said it wants to become an “everything exchange,” and the launch of prediction markets marks its latest move in that direction.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture
Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

FCA, crackdown on crypto
The post FCA, crackdown on crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The regulation of cryptocurrencies in the United Kingdom enters a decisive phase. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has initiated a consultation to set minimum standards on transparency, consumer protection, and digital custody, in order to strengthen market confidence and ensure safer operations for exchanges, wallets, and crypto service providers. The consultation was published on May 2, 2025, and opened a public discussion on operational responsibilities and safeguarding requirements for digital assets (CoinDesk). The goal is to make the rules clearer without hindering the sector’s evolution.

FCA Consultation: What’s on the Table The consultation document clarifies how to apply rules inspired by traditional finance to the crypto perimeter, balancing innovation, market integrity, and user protection. In this context, the goal is to introduce minimum standards for all firms under the supervision of the FCA, an essential step for a more transparent and secure sector, with measurable benefits for users. The proposed pillars Obligations towards consumers: assessment on the extension of the Consumer Duty – a requirement that mandates companies to provide “good outcomes” – to crypto services, with outcomes for users that are traceable and verifiable.
