Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating whether certain high-yield bets in prediction markets violate insider trading and other laws. According to BlockBeats, CNN reported that multiple sources have indicated that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, specifically the head of the Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force, has recently met with representatives from Polymarket to discuss the application of existing laws to potential misconduct in this rapidly evolving industry. The U.S. Department of Justice is focusing on these notable high-yield bets, signaling an increase in regulatory scrutiny of the sector. Over the past year, the prediction market industry has expanded rapidly under relatively limited federal oversight.

Google's Quantum AI team has released a new whitepaper indicating that breaking the cryptography used by Bitcoin and Ethereum may require fewer than 500,000 physical qubits, a figure significantly lower than the millions often cited in recent years. According to NS3.AI, Google researchers suggest that a prepared attacker could complete the final step in approximately nine minutes after a Bitcoin public key appears in a live transaction, compared to the roughly 10 minutes needed for confirmation. The researchers also pointed out that Taproot, a Bitcoin upgrade, may increase exposure because it makes public keys visible by default. The paper estimates that approximately 6.9 million Bitcoin are stored in wallets with exposed public keys, potentially heightening vulnerability to quantum attacks.

Japan's new housing starts in February fell by 4.9% year-on-year, according to Jin10. This decline was slightly larger than the anticipated drop of 4.7% and follows a previous decrease of 0.40%.

On March 31, the semiconductor sector experienced significant pressure due to ongoing geopolitical tensions and concerns sparked by a Google paper, according to BlockBeats. Micron Technology (MU) saw a sharp decline, closing down 9.9% and falling over 2.3% in after-hours trading. SanDisk (SNDK) also dropped more than 9% in total, while NVIDIA (NVDA) fell 2.4% during the day, impacting the entire sector. In this context, a major whale investor associated with Continue Capital, heavily invested in the semiconductor sector, particularly in NVDA and MU, faced potential liquidation. The investor's positions were at one point just 1.6% away from the liquidation threshold, marking it as the closest to liquidation among whales with holdings exceeding a million dollars. The total unrealized loss expanded to $2.32 million, with the investor still holding long positions worth $13.1 million, yet to be closed. The NVDA long position, with a 5x leverage, amounts to $7.58 million at an average price of $190, showing an unrealized loss of $1.13 million (-246%) and a liquidation price of $159.9. Meanwhile, the MU long position, with a 7x leverage, is valued at $5.52 million at an average price of $390, with an unrealized loss of $1.19 million (-270%) and a liquidation price of $310.

A high-risk vulnerability has been identified in the OpenClaw platform, according to PANews. The discovery was made by the 360 Digital Security Group, which developed the 360 Multi-Agent Collaborative Vulnerability Mining System. The flaw, known as the MEDIA protocol prompt injection bypass tool permission leak local file vulnerability, has been officially confirmed by the National Information Security Vulnerability Database (CNNVD). This vulnerability affects over 170,000 publicly accessible OpenClaw instances across more than 50 countries and regions worldwide. The core risk lies in the MEDIA protocol operating at the output post-processing layer, allowing attackers to bypass platform tool policy controls. Even if an agent disables all tool calls, attackers can exploit basic group chat member permissions to initiate attacks and directly steal sensitive server information, potentially leading to further cyber attacks.

Bloomberg posted on X that this strategic move comes as the nation faces fuel shortages exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in Iran.

Previously, it was reported that SBF's social media account clarified that its content is managed and posted by a friend.

Japan's two-year government bond auction concluded successfully, driven by high yields attracting investors, despite cautious market sentiment regarding a potential interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan. According to Jin10, the bid-to-cover ratio for Tuesday's auction was 3.54 times, surpassing the previous auction's 3.32 times and nearing the 12-month average of 3.59 times. Following the auction, Japanese government bonds continued their upward trend. The yield on the two-year bond, sensitive to monetary policy expectations, reached its highest level since 1995 last week. Although the Bank of Japan maintained its policy unchanged at the recent meeting, it left room for a possible rate hike in April. Overnight index swaps indicate a 68% probability of a rate increase next month. Miki Den, Senior Rate Strategist at SMBC Nikko Securities, noted that the allure of high yields outweighed negative factors such as rising oil prices and inflation concerns, facilitating the auction's success.
