Nexo extends its 0% APR, no‑liquidation Zero-interest Credit to Solana and XRP, targeting holders who want dollar liquidity without selling their crypto.

• Coinbase Asset Management unveils CUSHY, an on-chain digital credit strategy with a tokenized share class built on Superstate’s FundOS platform.
• The strategy targets on-chain public credit, structured private credit, and tokenized yield sources across Solana and Base, aiming to bridge traditional fixed income with blockchain rails.
• CUSHY underscores a broader institutional shift toward tokenized credit markets, following Coinbase’s earlier stablecoin credit initiatives with Apollo and its bitcoin yield funds.

Coinbase’s new on-chain credit push

Coinbase Asset Management (CBAM) has introduced CUSHY, a new on-chain digital credit strategy that uses a tokenized share class mechanism to bring traditional credit exposure onto public blockchains, in a move the firm frames as a bridge between legacy fixed income markets and programmable finance.

Built on Superstate’s FundOS operating system, CUSHY is structured to support 24/7 primary and secondary market trading of fund shares across networks such as Solana and Base, with FundOS specifically designed “to streamline the tokenization of real-world assets” for asset managers seeking on-chain capital formation.

According to Coinbase Asset Management, the strategy rests on three pillars: on-chain public credit assets, structured private credit serving both digital-native and traditional borrowers, and tokenized yield sources that package underlying credit exposures into blockchain-native instruments.

FundOS, launched by real-world asset specialist Superstate, is described as tackling “the operational complexity of fund tokenization” and is already used to operate tokenized portfolios like USTB and USCC, which Superstate presents as proof that traditional securities can be issued, managed, and settled on-chain at scale.

In an earlier partnership announcement, CBAM said its alliance with Apollo aims “to bring Coinbase stablecoin credit strategies to market,” combining Apollo’s private credit origination with Coinbase’s tokenization stack so that “tokenized investment products providing exposure to Apollo-managed credit strategies” can be distributed through on-chain wrappers.

Those stablecoin credit strategies sit alongside Coinbase’s bitcoin-focused yield products, including the Coinbase Bitcoin Yield Fund, which targets a 4%–8% net bitcoin return per year over a market cycle while avoiding “riskier high-interest bitcoin loans and systematic call selling,” and the subsequent US-focused bitcoin yield strategy for accredited investors.

More broadly, industry research notes that tokenized private credit markets reached roughly $9.68 billion in 2025 after growing 930%, as on-chain credit systems emerge as “transparent, efficient, and permissionless” alternatives to bank-led lending that rely on smart contracts, decentralized oracles, and on-chain identity for underwriting.

This context positions CUSHY not as an isolated product but as part of a wider shift in which stablecoins, tokenized funds, and credit strategies are increasingly issued as blockchain-native claims, with Coinbase, Apollo, and Superstate each betting that institutional demand for compliant, yield-bearing digital instruments will continue to migrate on-chain.

Dogecoin posted strong gains over the past week, outperforming many top crypto assets. 

The token traded near $0.109, with steady daily volume and rising market cap. Short-term momentum has pushed prices higher despite a broader mixed market.

On-chain data from Santiment showed a sharp increase in whale transactions. The network recorded 739 transfers above $100,000 in one day. Large holders now control 108.52 billion DOGE, marking a record level. Santiment noted that “the memecoin’s +14% price rise over the past 10 days is very likely not just a coincidence”.

RSI signals overbought conditions 

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart climbed above 70. This level often signals overbought conditions. The current reading near 73 suggests strong buying pressure, but also raises the risk of short-term cooling.

The RSI trend has been rising steadily since mid-April. This reflects sustained demand. However, when RSI remains elevated, price pullbacks can follow. Traders often watch this zone closely for early reversal signs.

Additionally, the MACD indicator remains in positive territory. The signal line and MACD line are both trending upward. This confirms ongoing bullish momentum in the short term.

Histogram bars have also turned green and continue to expand. This suggests increasing strength in the current trend. Still, momentum indicators can lag during fast moves, making confirmation from price action important.

Resistance pressure and sell signals emerge

Price action shows Dogecoin approaching a key resistance zone near $0.11. The chart indicates multiple attempts to move higher, with gradual progress. This level has acted as a barrier in recent sessions.

Some analysts flagged caution signals. Ali Martinez stated that “TD Sequential flashes a sell signal on Dogecoin”. Another trader pointed to repeated rejections at resistance, adding that “the pattern is clean… this drop is coming”. These signals contrast with strong whale accumulation and ongoing momentum.

Polymarket partners with Chainalysis to deploy on-chain surveillance targeting insider trading and manipulation as volumes hit $7B monthly and regulation intensifies.

Polymarket has partnered with Chainalysis to deploy what it calls “a first-of-its-kind on-chain solution to monitor trading activity and enforce its Market Integrity Rules” across its DeFi prediction market platform, formalizing a surveillance layer explicitly designed to identify insider trading, fraud, and manipulation in real time.

In the announcement, Polymarket said that because “every trade, position, and settlement is recorded on a public blockchain,” that transparency can now “be harnessed to set a new public standard for market integrity in prediction markets and beyond,” with Chainalysis providing anomaly detection tuned to patterns “consistent with insider knowledge in prediction markets.”

Chainalysis system targets insider trading on-chain

The agreement spans multiple Chainalysis product lines, including investigative tools to create “blockchain-verified evidence for proactive and reactive engagement with law enforcement,” on-chain threat prevention, and professional services to “develop new detection capabilities and support complex investigations” as new abuse patterns emerge.

Polymarket framed the message bluntly, stating that the enhanced monitoring “sends a clear signal: insider trading, in addition to all types of fraud and market manipulation, is not welcome on Polymarket, and those who attempt it will be identified,” positioning the platform as a test case for what “market integrity can look like in an on-chain world.”

The Chainalysis deployment builds on a March update in which Polymarket published enhanced Market Integrity Rules and highlighted a “multi-layered monitoring system” on its Polygon-based DeFi venue, where all holders in each contract and their positions are publicly viewable and suspicious activity can trigger reviews, bans, and referrals to law enforcement.

Upgrade, volumes, and pUSD collateral

The integrity rollout follows Polymarket’s April 28 exchange stack upgrade, described internally as its “most significant overhaul” to date, which introduced CTF Exchange V2 smart contracts, a rewritten central limit order book engine, and Polymarket USD (pUSD) as a new collateral token.

According to Polymarket’s documentation, pUSD is “a standard ERC-20 token on Polygon, backed 1:1 by USDC,” with the backing “enforced onchain by the smart contract — no algorithmic peg, no fractional reserve,” while all trading still settles in native USDC to improve capital efficiency at the settlement layer.

The platform is migrating off bridged USDC.e toward pUSD issued directly against Circle’s USDC, a shift Polymarket says is designed to cut failed trades, lower gas costs, and improve order management, with most users handled automatically via a one-time approval prompt and API traders required to reconfigure clients for the new contracts.

This infrastructure push is happening against a backdrop of explosive growth: Polymarket set a new all-time daily volume record of about $425 million on February 28, surpassing its prior high from the 2024 U.S. election, while February’s total volume topped $7 billion — roughly a 7.5x year-over-year jump, according to on-chain analytics cited by multiple research firms.

Regulatory and compliance pressure around prediction markets is intensifying as well, with recent analyses noting that by early 2026, platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi were outlining fresh insider trading controls and governance restrictions as the broader sector scaled toward roughly $21 billion in monthly volume, making robust surveillance a prerequisite for institutional participation.

Gemini’s Olympus unit won CFTC clearing license enabling in-house derivatives infrastructure for futures, options, perpetuals, and prediction markets.

Gemini announced April 30 that its affiliate Gemini Olympus received a Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) license from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, positioning the exchange as one of few crypto-native platforms with complete regulatory infrastructure to operate derivatives clearing in the United States. The license allows Olympus to act as a clearinghouse for regulated derivatives trading, including prediction markets.

“Today marks a major milestone in Gemini’s marketplace expansion,” said Cameron Winklevoss, Gemini’s President. “In addition to our crypto spot marketplace, Gemini now has a full-stack, end-to-end marketplace for predictions as well as futures, options, and more.”

Regulatory Roadmap Complete

The DCO approval follows the CFTC‘s December 2025 designation of Gemini Titan as a Designated Contract Market, which enabled the launch of its predictions marketplace the same month. Gemini Titan will explore expanding its derivatives offering for U.S. customers to include crypto futures, options, and perpetual contracts.

According to The Block, Gemini is pursuing a futures commission merchant (FCM) license from the CFTC and working to obtain all derivatives-related licenses from the regulator. The company said it now has end-to-end trading infrastructure spanning spot crypto, prediction markets, futures and options.

Winklevoss described the DCO license as “a major building block for our super app, where users will be able to fulfill their existing and future financial needs all in one place”.

The United Kingdom’s financial regulator has signed off on new rules and guidance for tokenized funds, aiming to make it easier for asset managers to use blockchains within the existing fund regime rather than in separate experimental structures.

In a Thursday policy statement, PS26/7, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said tokenization and distributed ledger technology (DLT) could make fund management more efficient and that it wants to “support innovation in the UK asset management sector,” as part of a digital assets roadmap first outlined in a January 2025 letter to the prime minister.

The changes give firms a clearer path to integrate blockchain into regulated fund operations, as policymakers seek to modernize market infrastructure without altering existing investor protection frameworks, and reflect a broader push to bring tokenized finance into the regulatory perimeter rather than allowing it to develop in parallel systems.

Simon Walls, executive director of markets at the FCA, said in the release that tokenization would “play an important role in asset management,” and that the regulator had delivered a practical framework to give firms confidence in how fund tokenization can operate within the FCA’s rules.

How tokenized funds move into the UK rulebook

PS26/7 allows firms to run investor records on DLT using the industry “Blueprint” model, confirming that onchain transaction records can serve as the primary books for unit deals without requiring a full off-chain duplicate, provided “appropriate resiliency plans” are in place.

The FCA said the Blueprint has already been used to authorize the first tokenized UK undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS), and that authorized funds can maintain their register on public DLT networks if controls meet its standards, including issuing units across multiple blockchains as long as investors’ rights and charges remain consistent.

The main rule change is an optional “Direct‑to‑Fund” (D2F) dealing model, where the fund or its depositary, rather than the manager, is the counterparty to investor trades. Deals go through a single step in which units are issued or canceled directly against cash moving between investors and the fund, a structure the FCA says is intended to make fund operations more efficient and easier to align with onchain settlement.

Looking ahead, the FCA sketches a roadmap that moves from today’s tokenized funds to tokenized assets and, eventually, tokenized cash flows, including models where investors hold tokenized assets in digital wallets and managers use smart contracts to manage them.

The regulator says it remains open to waivers so funds can use digital cash and stablecoins for settlement and certain expenses, and that it will seek further views in 2026 on wider use of DLT in wholesale markets

The policy statement comes after the FCA opened a consultation on guidance for its wider cryptoasset regime earlier this month, covering stablecoin issuance, trading, custody and staking, ahead of a full framework due to take effect in October 2027.

Cointelegraph reached out to the FCA for comment but had not received a response by publication.

The European Central Bank maintained interest rates unchanged at its April 30 meeting, but ECB President Christine Lagarde’s press conference remarks indicated a June rate hike has moved closer to reality, according to ING analyst Carsten Brzeski. Lagarde stressed that risks on both growth and inflation are intensifying, though the decision to keep rates steady was unanimous.

Brzeski noted the ECB has introduced a clear inclination towards rate hikes within its wait-and-see stance. Markets currently price approximately 50 basis points of tightening by year-end, with between 20 and 40 basis points anticipated by June.

Inflation Risks Tilt Upward

The ECB baseline projections see headline inflation averaging 2.6% in 2026, 2.0% in 2027 and 2.1% in 2028, revised higher from December primarily due to energy price pressures from the Iran war. Core inflation is projected at 2.3% in 2026, moderating to 2.2% in 2027 and 2.1% in 2028.

Lagarde warned that “the war in the Middle East has made the outlook significantly more uncertain, creating upside risks for inflation and downside risks for economic growth”. The ECB president told the IMF’s International Monetary and Financial Committee that the conflict “will have a material impact on near-term inflation through higher energy prices”.

ECB staff projections included adverse scenarios showing headline inflation potentially reaching 3.5% or even 4.4% in 2026 if energy supply disruptions persist. The deposit facility rate remains at 2.00%, with main refinancing operations at 2.15% and marginal lending facility at 2.40%.

Over half of economists polled by Reuters expect the ECB to hold rates April 30 but hike in June as war-driven inflation accelerates. According to Bloomberg, the anticipated quarter-point increase would likely be the only move as the conflict won’t cause a long-lasting price shock.
