ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, the prediction market platform Kalshi has filed a lawsuit against the gambling regulators of Nevada and New Jersey after receiving a cease-and-desist order from them. The regulators demanded that Kalshi stop offering sports-related contracts, arguing that such activities constitute sports betting, which can only be provided by entities licensed by the state.Kalshi argues in the lawsuit that, as an exchange regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), it should be exclusively regulated by the federal government, and the Commodity Exchange Act takes precedence over state laws. The Nevada Gaming Control Board believes that Kalshi's contracts constitute gambling because the payouts are entirely dependent on the outcomes of external events, rather than the actions of the contract participants.Kalshi's CEO Tarek Mansour stated that prediction markets are an important innovation of the 21st century, and the company will defend this technology in court. The core of the dispute is whether event-based or sports-related contract trading constitutes gambling regulated by state governments or falls under the exclusive regulation of federal authorities as financial derivatives trading.ChainCatcher previously reported that New Jersey regulators have demanded Robinhood and Kalshi to cease providing sports betting services.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Strategy founder Michael Saylor stated in an interview that many token issuers are actually "pretending" to be decentralized; they do not genuinely want to decentralize but are eager to enter the capital markets.The use case for digital tokens is to create capital and innovation, whether it's TRUMP coin, or tokens issued by people like Katy Perry and Joe Rogan. Whether it's smart contract tokens or utility tokens (like those that allow me to access a music library on a website), or possibly a super complex token and/or NFT, it is actually very convenient. However, if registered as securities, it requires a significant investment; you need lawyers and accountants, and you have to spend a lot of money each year to ensure compliance.

ChainCatcher message, Binance co-founder He Yi posted a personal Meme learning note on social media, stating, "Meme transcends cultural boundaries, representing the ultimate expression of the crowd and the influence of subcultures on mainstream culture. Every culture has resonant groups; Meme does not follow trends but creates them.Dogecoin, as a symbol of crypto culture, proves that Meme originates from community consensus rather than celebrity statements. True Meme comes from cultural accumulation, not fleeting attention hotspots.Long-termism remains effective; investors should operate according to market cycles, understanding when to hold or take profits. The crypto market will stabilize over time, and opportunities will always exist.My assets are mainly tokens; a long-term holding style is not suitable for most people, but some principles can be referenced: earn profits through economic cycles, sell in bull markets, buy in bear markets; in asset allocation, at least 20% should be invested in tokens; when using leverage or investing in high-risk tokens, it should not exceed 10% of disposable assets. Most importantly, understand the principles and put them into practice; like losing weight, understanding is easy, but implementation is difficult."
