Polymarket Chief Legal Officer: Lawsuit Filed Against Massachusetts in Federal Court

On February 10, Polymarket Chief Legal Officer (CLO) Neal Kumar took to X to announce the firm has filed a lawsuit against the state of Massachusetts in federal court. Kumar emphasized that U.S. Congress has granted the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) exclusive federal jurisdiction over event contracts—superseding state authority. Since these markets operate nationally, he noted, key issues must be resolved in federal court. States like Massachusetts and Nevada’s attempts to shut down Polymarket US and other prediction markets via state courts cannot override federal law and would cause them to miss out on opportunities to build future markets, Kumar added. While pursuing resolution in federal court, Kumar stated he remains willing to engage with other states and advocate for user rights.

「Wood Sister」: Bitcoin is a key asset embodying three major changes, and its low correlation with gold will promote its attribute diversification

On February 10, Cathie Wood—often nicknamed “Wood Sister”—said in her latest podcast that Bitcoin isn’t the traditional “digital gold” in a literal sense, so its short-term performance doesn’t align with gold’s. Since 2019, the correlation coefficient between Bitcoin and gold returns has been just 0.14. That’s exactly Bitcoin’s value as a diversifying asset: low-correlation assets boost a portfolio’s risk-adjusted returns. She noted the key to successful diversification is adding new assets with low correlation, and Bitcoin fits that bill. Moreover, Wood defines Bitcoin as an asset embodying “three revolutions in one”: - A global digital sovereign monetary system; - A new layer for the internet stack supporting native currency, intelligent agents, and commerce; - A new asset class (with Bitcoin as the most secure, largest network representing crypto assets). She describes Bitcoin as being in the early stages of the innovation S-curve. Like all historically disruptive tec

Ethereum Foundation Member: Ethereum is moving towards confirming execution correctness through zkEVM proof verification

February 10: Ethereum Foundation member ladislaus.eth noted the network is undergoing a key, largely under-the-radar architectural shift—moving from nodes re-executing every transaction in a block to verifying execution correctness via zkEVM proofs. Backed by EIP-8025 (Optional Proof of Execution), the proposal lets validators opt to validate multi-client zk proofs at the consensus layer instead of running a full execution layer (no upgrades or forks required). This mechanism is expected to slash node hardware and sync costs significantly, benefiting independent validators and home nodes. It also lays groundwork for future L1 execution scaling, ePBS (slated for the Glamsterdam upgrade), and native rollups. Ethereum’s L1-zkEVM roadmap targets 2026, with its first dedicated conference set for February 11.
