Cardano founders launch Midnight, a privacy blockchain employing ZK technology and a dual-token model.

According to The Block, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson announced the launch of the privacy-preserving blockchain Midnight, whose genesis block was generated on Monday. Midnight uses zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology, allowing users to selectively disclose or hide data while supporting compliance requirements. Its hybrid ledger can mix public and private data in a single transaction and supports shielded assets that hide balances and counterparty information. Midnight employs a dual-token model: the governance token NIGHT serves as a store of value for the ecosystem, and holders receive renewable Gas tokens DUST, which are generated proportionally to holdings and can be transferred to others to pay transaction fees. The network launched a one-year NIGHT airdrop to 37 million eligible wallets last December.

According to CoinDesk, more than 40 U.S. Congressional Democrats, including Senators Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker, jointly wrote to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Office of Federal Ethics, demanding clear guidance for government employees, reminding them that trading in prediction markets using non-public information is illegal and should be prohibited.

The U.S. Department of Labor has proposed new rules to allow 401(k) retirement plans to include assets such as cryptocurrencies.

According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Department of Labor has proposed a new rule to allow 401(k) retirement plans to incorporate alternative assets such as cryptocurrencies, private equity, and real estate, in response to President Trump's executive order signed last August. If passed, the rule would change the traditional stock- and bond-heavy structure of retirement plans, allowing plan providers to add privately traded products such as digital assets. The Labor Secretary stated that the rule aims to make retirement plans better reflect the current investment environment. Supporters argue this move will improve portfolio diversification, but Senator Elizabeth Warren warned that it could expose workers to higher risks, costs, and potential losses. U.S. 401(k) plans hold trillions of dollars in retirement savings; even allocating just a small portion to digital assets could bring substantial inflows to the crypto market.

The US CFTC stated that it will "respect the opinions of all sports leagues," following the NFL's call for stronger regulation of the prediction market.

According to The Block, Michael Selig, chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), stated that the agency will "largely respect the opinions of sports leagues" when assessing which prediction market contracts are susceptible to manipulation.

On the legislative front, bipartisan lawmakers have introduced bills to prohibit federally regulated prediction markets from listing sports-related contracts, and several states have also challenged the legality of these platforms through legal channels. Meanwhile, Major League Baseball (MLB) has opted for a collaborative approach, partnering with Polymarket and signing an information-sharing agreement.

Previously, Trump pledged during his campaign to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the world," and in March of this year, he signed an executive order establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve funded by judicially seized Bitcoin.

Powell: The impact of oil prices can be ignored for now, but if inflation expectations get out of control, the Fed's patience will run out.

According to Jinshi News, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell stated on Monday that the central bank prefers to maintain interest rates and take a "penetrating" approach to the energy shock triggered by the war with Iran. However, he also warned that if rising prices begin to alter public expectations of long-term inflation, the Fed may not be able to remain indifferent. The Fed faces a dilemma: energy shocks often have a dual effect—pushing up prices on the one hand, and dragging down economic growth by compressing household budgets and increasing business costs on the other. Powell appeared particularly cautious about how the Fed would respond to this challenge. He stated, "We may eventually face the question of how to deal with it, but we haven't really reached that point yet because we don't yet know exactly how these economic impacts will manifest."

He indicated that Iran's position on a ceasefire remains unchanged. "Our position is very clear. Currently, because the United States' military aggression and invasion are still in full swing, all our efforts and capabilities are dedicated to protecting Iran's fundamental interests." Baghae stated that Iran "will not forget that its diplomatic efforts have been betrayed twice in less than a year."

Midnight, a privacy-focused public blockchain backed by Charles Hoskinson, has been launched within the Cardano ecosystem.

Midnight, a privacy-focused public blockchain backed by Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson with approximately $200 million in investment, has launched within the Cardano ecosystem, aiming to address what he calls "core cryptographic design flaws." Midnight does not directly compete with Bitcoin or Ethereum, but operates in parallel, allowing users and businesses to use blockchain without exposing asset and behavioral details by hiding sensitive data and simplifying interactions. The project will advance infrastructure, applications, and governance in phases, with early applications including confidential financial products, identity systems, and enterprise data processes. Midnight also seeks to lower the barriers to private key management, allowing users to "click and authenticate to use," and in some cases even use the blockchain without being aware of it.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said on Monday that the Fed is closely monitoring potential problems in the private sector. Speaking at Harvard University, he said that regarding private lending, "it represents a relatively small portion of a large asset system, and we are watching this area very closely." Powell did not specify the current level of risk in this area. He added, "You don't hear anyone say there's no problem here, because that's a bad omen."

Federal Reserve Chairman Powell: There is a tension between the Fed's two main goals.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell: There is a tension between the Fed's two main objectives. Overall, research tends to suggest that purchasing long-term assets will lower interest rates and support the economy. There is no indication that the Fed's past bond purchases have been inflationary in nature. We don't really see the downside risks from the massive balance sheet that many have predicted. The Committee will achieve its 2% inflation target. Tariff-induced inflation is a one-off price increase that will raise the inflation rate by 0.5 to 1 percentage point.
