📰 Robinhood built an RWA chain. Memecoins took it.
🗓️ Jul 16 2026 14:00 UTC - Olivia Stephanie
Robinhood Chain launched for tokenized stocks. Two weeks on, RWAs are 4% of it and a cat token ran the place. What the numbers show.

📰 As prediction markets boom, questions arise over who will be the watchdog
🗓️ Jul 16 2026 15:16 UTC - Ananya Chetia, Davis Giangiulio
As new contract types are introduced, prediction markets may have to work under two regulatory bodies.
➤ Prediction markets are experiencing a boom, leading to questions about regulatory oversight, specifically whether the SEC will join the CFTC in regulating these 'event contracts'.
➤ The core issue revolves around classifying event contracts as either traditional swaps (CFTC's domain) or securities-based swaps (SEC's domain), a distinction that depends on their link to specific securities or company performance.
➤ Both agencies are seeking public comment to clarify definitions and harmonize regulations, aiming to provide clearer guidelines for platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, and potentially expedite institutional adoption.
