Republican Lawmakers Push CFTC to Onshore Crypto Platforms and Curb Prediction Market Insider Trading

US drivers may face price impacts on a gallon of gas due to surging volumes in oil contracts on Hyperliquid. Representative Austin Scott, a Republican from Georgia, identified the rapid growth of these markets as a risk because they lack segregated funds, market surveillance, and US oversight. Scott noted that the products are functionally identical to those traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Intercontinental exchange. To address this, Scott asked CFTC head Michael Selig for specific recommendations to onshore certain crypto platforms and ensure they meet the same standards.

The CLARITY Act would ban passive yield on crypto assets

Crypto holders will no longer be able to earn returns solely for holding assets under the proposed CLARITY Act. Returns are permitted only for active utility, such as payments and platform participation. This distinction is designed to limit competition with traditional bank deposits. JPMorgan Chase indicates that this compromise reduces the risk of regulatory arbitrage against the banking system. The passage of the CLARITY Act would provide a clearer regulatory framework, which reduces legal uncertainty for large-scale investors. This environment facilitates the entry of large-scale investors. Institutional interest in the crypto market increases.

Republican lawmakers also expressed concern over the appearance of insider trading on prediction markets, specifically citing markets on Nicholas Maduro’s ouster and the war in Iran. Representative Don Bacon of Nebraska questioned whether the CFTC requires more authorities to combat this activity. In response, Selig stated he plans to formalise new rules for prediction markets and has requested feedback on mention contracts and other prediction market issues. The CFTC regularly rejects contracts it determines are unlawful.

US Institutional Money Returns to Crypto Markets as Inflation Data Eases Nerves

Crypto investment products saw $1.1 billion in net inflows for the week ending April 11, reversing a five-week streak of outflows that had drained $4 billion from the market. US investors led the rebound, accounting for $1.06 billion—roughly 95% of the total global flow. US spot Bitcoin ETFs absorbed $833 million, while Bitcoin funds worldwide attracted $871 million. Ethereum funds, which had seen outflows for three consecutive weeks, saw $196.5 million flow back in. The recovery was driven by early ceasefire signals out of Iran and a softer-than-expected US inflation reading, which eased institutional nerves. Some institutions shifted their hedging strategies, as short-Bitcoin products recorded $20 million in inflows, the highest single-week total for those products since November 2024. Total assets under management across crypto investment products returned to levels not seen since early February.
