Odaily News Bitcoin's monthly Bollinger Bands have reached their historically narrowest level, indicating that strong price volatility is imminent. Analyst Cantonese Cat stated that the expansion following a Bollinger Band squeeze typically leads to significant market movements.

Michael van de Poppe, founder of MC Capital, suggested that Bitcoin might experience a slight pullback after testing $79,000, potentially followed by a push towards $86,000.

Odaily News: Paul Grewal, Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase, stated that the company has moved the lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James against its prediction market business from state court to federal court, arguing that the case involves disputes at the federal legal level.
The lawsuit alleges that Coinbase and Gemini's related prediction market products violate New York state gambling laws by allowing users to trade on events such as sports, entertainment, and elections without obtaining a license. Coinbase argues that prediction markets should be uniformly regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and will continue to push for federal-level regulatory recognition.
The case involves the division of regulatory authority between state and federal levels and may have a significant impact on the regulatory framework for prediction market platforms. (Cointelegraph)
According to Odaily, AI research lab NeoCognition announced the completion of a $40 million seed funding round, co-led by Cambium Capital and Walden Catalyst Ventures, with participation from Vista Equity Partners. Angel investors include Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, Databricks co-founder Ion Stoica, and others.
Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, the company was co-founded by Ohio State University Associate Professor Yu Su, along with Xiang Deng and Yu Gu, focusing on enhancing the reliability of AI agents. Its approach involves enabling agents to construct domain-specific "world models" during actual usage to adapt to specific business environments, rather than relying on general-purpose pre-trained models. Currently targeting enterprise clients, the company plans to embed continuously optimizable AI agents into SaaS products and has not yet released a public product.
Odaily, GMGN co-founder Haze posted on platform X, stating that the web version has completed multiple functional updates, including support for ETH limit orders and advanced strategies, support for multi-wallet Profit and Loss (PNL) statistics, support for multi-wallet trading and continuous click trading. The first round of speed optimization has also been completed, with continuous improvements to follow.
The Odaily Seer Prophet Channel monitors that an account (0xb5fd86fb9d64714f5158e13cada4b7103c958c6d), which has made over $220,000 in profit, has purchased approximately $42,700 worth of a "Will Not Win" position in the event "Atlanta United defeats New England Revolution on April 22, 2026." The opening price was 54.9¢, the current price is 55.5¢, resulting in an unrealized profit of about $477.
Atlanta United has been in weaker form recently, winning only 1 of their last 8 matches and suffering three consecutive losses. In contrast, New England Revolution has secured four straight wins with relatively solid defensive performances. The historical head-to-head record between the two sides is close, and combined with injury factors, market expectations are generally balanced.
The Odaily Seer Prophet Channel continues to monitor the prediction market, seeing changes before pricing occurs.
Odaily Odaily reports that QCP released a market analysis stating that BTC has rebounded from a low of around $75,000 to $78,000. This rally is primarily driven by risk mitigation rather than a restoration of market confidence.
It points out that the extension of the Iran ceasefire reduces short-term geopolitical risks. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve maintains a data-dependent stance without signaling any clear easing measures. Open interest in futures has recovered, yet funding rates remain negative, indicating new short positions entering the market. In the options market, short-term implied volatility is around 40%, with skew still favoring downside protection. The term structure is only slightly upward-sloping, pointing to a range-bound market environment.
QCP believes that the future market trend will still depend on crude oil prices and monetary policy signals. In the absence of clear catalysts, the market is likely to remain in a wait-and-see pattern.

Odaily reports that PicWe has announced that its independently developed next-generation wallet product has completed internal testing and entered public beta. PicWe Wallet expands the concept of a "hardware wallet" from dedicated devices to everyday terminal capabilities, allowing phones, computers, and security keys to be used directly as wallets.
By generating and storing keys directly on the device, users no longer need seed phrases or manually manage private keys. Critical operations are completed locally without being stored on servers, reducing the barrier to entry and associated risks from the source.
Under this design, users can perform on-chain operations as easily as using a regular application. At the same time, the wallet also supports providing account capabilities to automated programs (such as AI agents) under specific rules, enabling more flexible on-chain interaction methods.
The public beta version already supports multi-chain asset management, asset swapping, and paying transaction fees with stablecoins, bringing users closer to a "seamless blockchain experience."
In its broader ecosystem strategy, PicWe is building integrated infrastructure around RWA and intelligent applications, covering core areas such as asset issuance, circulation, and settlement. This serves enterprise goals for efficiency and cost reduction in scenarios like cross-border settlements, asset digitization, and supply chain coordination.
Kim Hyun-jung, a member of the South Korean Democratic Party's Digital Asset Special Committee, stated that they plan to submit a stablecoin-related Digital Asset Basic Act (Phase 2 legislation) after the June local elections, and simultaneously push forward deliberation by the bill's subcommittee.
She noted that issues such as restrictions on major shareholders' equity in exchanges still face disagreements and require further discussion. At the same time, she believes that, given the positive stance of Bank of Korea Governor Rhee Chang-yong towards stablecoins, the relevant legislation is expected to advance. Additionally, the committee is considering meeting with him after the elections and moving forward with the design of a CBDC and a Korean Won stablecoin system. (Edaily)
