    Polymarket Breaks 'Deafening' Silence on Oracle Manipulation Allegations

    Crypto-based prediction marketplace Polymarket apologized on its Discord server for what it described as an “unprecedented situation,” after users flagged apparent manipulation of market results by UMA whales. UMA is Polymarket’s oracle system whereby the results of betting markets are determined by recourse to external sources of data, and by staking UMA tokens behind a particular resolution. For example, if there were a market that allowed users to predict whether the sun would rise tomorrow,...

    Mt. Gox Moves $1 Billion in Bitcoin—But Payments Aren't Going Out, Says Glassnode

    Mt. Gox has transferred over 11,000 Bitcoin to two separate wallets, but Glassnode analysts told Decrypt it's unlikely this shuffle is preparation to begin repaying more of the bankrupt exchange’s creditors. According to analytics firm Arkham Intelligence, Mt. Gox deposited 893 BTC into one of its hot wallets and 10,608 BTC into a new change wallet in the past 24 hours. This deposit follows two similar transfers on March 11, when the exchange’s administrators sent 332 BTC to the same hot wallet...

    Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has suggested that the U.S. could purchase 20% of the Bitcoin supply “for free,” and that owning 4 to 6 million BTC would “pay off the entire national debt.” Appearing at the annual CPAC conference, Saylor spoke in favor of a strategic Bitcoin reserve, arguing that “the dollar would strengthen” if the U.S. federal government created such a stockpile. He also warned that not pursuing such a policy would risk the U.S. falling behind other nations, claiming that “...
