On April 9, informed sources revealed Tesla is developing a new, smaller, more affordable electric SUV. Tesla has been reaching out to suppliers in recent weeks to hash out details of the compact SUV plan—this will be an all-new vehicle, not a redesign of its existing Model 3 or Model Y. Sources noted the SUV will be built in China; another source added Tesla intends to ramp up production in the U.S. and Europe later.

On April 9, Binance announced the launch of a prediction market feature, allowing users to engage in probability-based markets via third-party platform integrations within the Binance app. When Binance Wallet launches, it will integrate with Predict.fun—an on-chain prediction market provider on Binance Smart Chain (BSC)—to offer market access. Prediction markets let participants bet on future outcomes across sports, economics, global events, culture, and cryptocurrency. Each outcome (yes/no) is represented by a share priced between $0.01 and $0.99, reflecting participants’ collective belief in the outcome’s likelihood. For example, in a sufficiently liquid market, a $0.80 share signals an 80% probability of that outcome occurring. When the market settles, shares of the correct outcome will pay out $1.
