ChainCatcher news, according to livedoor, due to suspected gambling through overseas online casino websites, the Chiba Prefectural Police in Japan transferred 30-year-old table tennis player Takaki Niwa, the bronze medalist in the men's team event at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, to the prosecution on the 29th. It is believed that during a voluntary questioning, he admitted to the relevant charges, stating that he placed bets on the outcomes of sports competitions.In an interview with Kyodo News, Niwa said, "I didn't know this was illegal, and I feel very regretful. I'm sorry to my fans."According to investigators, the Japanese police have attached a request for strict handling of the case. The charges state that in early summer 2023, Niwa accessed an online casino website through a domestic internet connection and used cryptocurrency for gambling.While the Japanese police were cracking down on online casino payment agents, they discovered users nationwide, which led to the exposure of Niwa's involvement.Niwa participated in the 2012 London Olympics at the age of 17 and won a silver medal in the men's team event at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. In the fall of 2022, he announced his retirement but continued to engage in athlete activities within Japan.

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, U.S. federal regulators are deciding whether to investigate the legality of Crypto.com's futures contracts, which allow investors to bet on who will win major sporting events, including the Super Bowl.According to informed sources, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), composed of five members, is voting on a measure that calls for a 90-day review of these contracts, but these individuals are not authorized to speak publicly. The agency does not have the power to immediately halt trading, and the review will continue until after the Super Bowl on February 9, but the commission may ban such contracts after the review is completed.The issue is whether these contracts, listed on Crypto.com's derivatives exchange in Chicago, may violate gambling laws. The company followed legal procedures and notified the CFTC of its plans to start trading two days before Christmas on December 19 last year. However, the agency did not have time to review these contracts at that time, as they were submitted just days before the holiday, and the government could potentially shut down.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, Wall Street research firm BCA Research's latest report indicates that Trump's return to the White House in 2025 could trigger four major "black swan" events.First, Trump may reach a new nuclear agreement with Iran, alleviating global oil supply concerns, but BCA still expects a 75% probability of military conflict between the U.S. and Iran in 2025.Second, Trump may shake U.S. commitments to NATO, leading to a decline in the euro and an increase in risk premiums for Eastern European assets. Third, the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border may escalate; if the U.S. takes military action, it could trigger a security crisis, while a tariff war could push inflation higher. Finally, countries may coordinate to intervene in the foreign exchange market in response to U.S. tariff threats, leading to a significant depreciation of the dollar.BCA is one of the most bearish firms on Wall Street. In its previous reports, the company reiterated its recession forecast and predicted that U.S. stocks could plummet by as much as 26% this year.
