ChainCatcher news, according to CryptoSlate, the Bank of Canada released an internal research discussion paper on March 21, analyzing flash loans and their policy relevance and potential risks. The research report defines flash loans as blockchain-native financial instruments that allow users to borrow crypto assets without collateral, provided that the loan must be repaid within a single atomic transaction.It is noteworthy that such internal discussion papers represent the central bank's comprehensive research outcomes on important issues and fall within the broad responsibilities of the Bank of Canada to assess the impact of emerging technologies on financial stability and market structure.Report author Jack Mandin points out that although flash loans are currently limited to blockchain networks, their underlying concept could extend to tokenized financial infrastructure if technical conditions are met. Such concepts include atomic risk-free lending, which could give rise to new systems supporting atomic transactions and programmable assets. The research also raises concerns about financial stability. If financial institutions begin to integrate smart contract lending, it could directly trigger risks.Furthermore, when blockchain assets (including those involved in flash loan activities) are embedded in traditional financial products (such as exchange-traded funds), it may create systemic risks.

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.
