April 3rd — Per GMGN monitoring data, Solana ecosystem token PUMPCADE has hit an all-time high market cap, briefly topping $21.1 million before retracing to roughly $18.55 million. The token is up 45% over the past 24 hours. The project behind the token, Pumpcade, is a prediction market built on Pump.fun. It took third place in a March hackathon, earning a $250,000 investment from the Pump Fund — Pump.fun’s in-house investment arm.

On April 3, Intergaze—a zero-gas-fee blockchain optimized for NFTs—will begin winding down operations.

April 3rd, on-chain analyst Murphy stated that the on-chain average cost basis for BTC held 1–2 years (yellow line) has crossed above that for BTC held 1–3 months (orange line). This signal is nearly 100% confirmed in on-chain data, marking BTC’s official entry into the latter half of the bear market. Additionally, Murphy noted that Willy Woo—renowned Bitcoin on-chain analyst—saw his long-term valuation metric CVDD hit $45,410 at the end of last month, with only a slow $506 increase since February 10. This reflects that early whale holders have significantly reduced, or nearly halted, on-chain activity. CVDD is one of the few metrics in Bitcoin’s history that has never failed: BTC’s price has always traded above CVDD, and bear market bottoms only ever approach it without breaking below. Thus, even if there’s a “final drop,” BTC will theoretically not fall below ~$45,500—with a maximum potential decline of ~30%, though the actual drop is likely far smaller.

April 3rd — The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said in its latest report that tokenized finance is not a simple upgrade to traditional finance, but a structural transformation. It replaces intermediaries with smart contracts and shared ledgers, restructuring the global market’s architecture. Currently, the value of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) has hit $27.5 billion, with over $12 billion tied to tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds. The IMF notes that while tokenization enables near-instant settlement and 24/7 trading, its speed, automation and programmability may amplify systemic risks—quickly spreading liquidity crises under market pressure—without the buffering effect of traditional settlement delays.

On April 3, prediction market platform Polymarket announced it has become the exclusive prediction market partner of Spain’s top-flight soccer league La Liga—marking the first major European soccer league to partner with a prediction market. Exclusive official match contracts for teams including Real Madrid and Barcelona are now available exclusively on Polymarket.

April 3 — The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has filed separate lawsuits against Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois, reaffirming its exclusive jurisdiction over event contracts and prediction markets under the Commodity Exchange Act. The agency accuses the three states of seeking to prohibit, limit, or regulate registered designated contract markets (DCMs)—including platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket—through other state-level regulatory measures. The CFTC is asking federal courts to declare the states’ actions invalid and bar them from interfering with prediction market activities that comply with federal rules.
