Need to know what happened in crypto today? Here is the latest news on daily trends and events impacting Bitcoin price, blockchain, DeFi, NFTs, Web3 and crypto regulation.

The US regulator's green light lets Bitnomial’s clearinghouse support prediction markets linked to crypto and economic events, expanding its regulated product and clearing offerings.

Coinbase will showcase its new products on a livestream next week after joining a prediction market coalition with Kalshi and other US operators, Bloomberg reported.

The CFTC gave “no-action” letters to a group of prediction markets, including Polymarket US, exempting them from swap data reporting and record-keeping regulations.

An affiliate of the crypto exchange Gemini received a designated contract market license, and it now plans to offer prediction markets in the US.

A US judge has handed Kalshi a small win after putting a temporary stop to the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection’s enforcement action against the company.

Prediction markets may be providing a way of turning opinions into financial products, but they may also pose financial risks and opportunities for insider trading.
