According to a disclosure by Kalshi, the prediction market platform Kalshi has fined and banned three congressional candidates from accessing the platform for five years for betting on their own election outcomes. The candidates involved include Mark Moran, Matt Klein, and Ezekiel Enriquez.

Virginia State Senate candidate Mark Moran was fined $6,229 and required to return profits from related market trades; Minnesota House of Representatives candidate Matt Klein was fined $540; and Texas Republican primary candidate Ezekiel Enriquez was fined $784.

Mark Moran posted on X (formerly Twitter) stating that his approximately $100 bet on Kalshi was intended to draw attention to expose potential manipulation and corruption issues on the platform. Matt Klein posted on X, explaining that he placed the bet out of curiosity and, upon learning it violated the rules, paid the fine and accepted the ban. Kalshi's legal counsel, Bobby DeNault, stated that the candidates' actions violated internal trading control rules and that penalties would be imposed regardless of the transaction amount.

Odaily News X Product Lead Nikita Bier announced in a post, "Today, we are announcing two product changes for Communities on X:

1. XChat now supports joinable links for group chats. Create a public link and share it directly to the timeline. Each chat supports 350 members (and growing), and group chat links are the fastest way to bring people together on X.

2. Due to declining usage, we will be deprecating X Communities on May 6th. To migrate your community members, pin your group chat link so people can join over the next 2 weeks. This is part of our broader effort to simplify the X experience. Please don't get it wrong: we are heavily investing in niche communities, through the launch of custom timelines—and more features to come."

Subsequently, he added that based on user feedback, to give users ample migration time, the transition period will be extended until May 30th. Additionally, the group chat member limit will be increased to 500 tomorrow, with the goal of reaching 1000 members in the coming weeks. This should cover all communities on X except for a very few.

Odaily News Arthur Hayes stated that Bitcoin will not see substantial gains until the Federal Reserve provides liquidity to fill the black hole in bank balance sheets. He believes AI is destroying the income of knowledge workers and leading to consumer credit defaults, which will ultimately force the Fed to intervene and drive up Bitcoin. Arthur Hayes predicts Bitcoin will reach $150,000 to $200,000 in the summer of 2026, $250,000 to $500,000 by the end of that year, and $1 million by 2028.

Michael Saylor posted on X platform that Strategy has spent approximately $2.54 billion to purchase 34,164 Bitcoins at an average price of about $74,395. As of April 19, 2026, the institution holds a total of 815,061 Bitcoins, with a total acquisition cost of approximately $61.56 billion and an average price of about $75,527. He believes that accumulation by corporations and ETFs will lead to non-linear repricing, and if Strategy holds 7.5% of Bitcoin's total supply, the long-term target price is $10 million.

Odaily News Asian markets opened very strong and active, especially in Japan and South Korea. But now, some Asian markets have given back some of those gains. All of this points to the typical volatility triggered by the war in Iran. Initially, especially on Wednesday, we saw many investors being optimistic about the conflict — a ceasefire was holding, and there seemed to be a strong will to end the war. Investors tend to make decisions based on what will happen in the future, so we saw those stock markets rise to record highs. Now, especially as these attacks continue, with no plans for peace talks yet, and no clear path to truly ending this conflict — some caution has returned, so we are seeing these stock markets fall back to lower levels.
