CFTC: Market Manipulation Prohibition Equally Applies to Insider Trading, Exploiting Material Nonpublic Information Deemed Unlawful

2 hours ago

On April 1, David I. Miller, Enforcement Director of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), outlined five key focus areas for future CFTC enforcement: insider trading, market manipulation, market abuse, retail fraud, and anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) violations. Miller clarified that CFTC insider trading rules extend to prediction markets—trading on undisclosed material information is illegal and will be “actively investigated and prosecuted.” On the regulatory front, the CFTC emphasized a shift away from an “enforcement-first” approach to prioritizing core illegal conduct like fraud and manipulation. The agency also plans to launch a new cooperation policy offering leniency—even full immunity—to institutions that voluntarily self-audit, cooperate with enforcement probes, and complete full remediation. Additionally, the CFTC will strengthen collaboration with trading platforms and law enforcement agencies, with a focus on combating energy market manipulation and fraud using emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI).

Hyperliquid Launches Mobile App Beta on Google Play Store

On April 1, Hyperliquid announced via its official Discord channel that its mobile app is now available on the Google Play Store as an initial MVP (Minimum Viable Product) for user testing. Android users can access the app via a dedicated link. The initial MVP has intentionally limited functionality—currently only supporting trade notifications. The goal is to gradually upgrade from a Progressive Web App (PWA) based on early user feedback, iterating on feature priorities and device-specific issues. Download numbers will be capped during the testing phase, and user feedback is strongly encouraged. Officials note this is just the first MVP version. Users wanting to disable notifications can uncheck "Enable Push Notifications" in the settings dropdown. Future plans include expanding notification configuration options. Important reminder: Avoid any counterfeit apps on the Google Play Store—always use the official link.
