Today’s top news: - Crypto majors up 1-2% to start May; BTC at $77.4k - Japan’s JPX to list crypto ETFs as soon as 2027 pending approvals - MegaETH debuts at $1.5B, TVL reaches $490M and flips Monad - DeFi faces another exploit after Wasabi hit for $4.5M+ - Kalshi becomes top 5 sportsbook after March Madness drove $13B+ ⚡️ MegaETH Debuts Its MEGA Token and Innovative Tokenomics MegaETH launched its native MEGA token on Thursday morning along with a very lucrative airdrop and ICO unlock. For those unfamiliar, MegaETH is an Ethereum Layer-2 network with the aim to be the fastest EVM-compatible blockchain ever built. The technical targets are 100,000 transactions per second, 10-millisecond block times, and sub-millisecond latency—roughly 5,000 times faster than Ethereum mainnet. In live mainnet conditions since launching in February, the network has sustained throughput that backs up those claims. It’s built for consumer-facing, real-time applications, theoretically the kind of things that are impossible on slower chains because users won’t wait for confirmations. Think onchain games, social apps, high-frequency DeFi. The project has raised $470 million in total funding and counts Vitalik Buterin, Joe Lubin, and Dragonfly Capital among its backers. The token structure is worth going into briefly because it’s genuinely different. Of the 10 billion total MEGA tokens, 53.3% unlock only when the network hits specific performance milestones, as opposed to a fixed calendar. The first milestone required 10 ecosystem apps to each record 100,000 on-chain transactions in 30 days. That was hit on April 23, triggering Thursday’s launch. The next unlock requires $500 million in circulating supply of USDM, the network’s native stablecoin, which sat at $300 million at launch time. The idea is that the majority of supply can’t hit the market until MegaETH proves it has real users generating real activity. At its current $1.7B FDV, anyone who participated in the ICO in 2025 hit a quick 70% return—not bad for a bear market. And that valuation is backed by a soaring TVL (MegaETH has flipped Monad in DeFi TVL at $490M) enough to make its way into the top 15 chains. Plus, its mUSD market cap jumped 60% today to $270M Now all eyes turn to the new apps launching by the day and those upcoming KPIs… 🤐 Crypto Is the Most Muted Topic on X X head of product Nikita Bier shared data this week showing that crypto is the most frequently muted topic on the platform’s “For You” feed, ranking ahead of politics and the Iran conflict. The data comes from X’s recently launched snooze feature, which lets users hide unwanted topics for 24 hours. The most snoozed (i.e., muted) topics since launching the snooze feature: 1. Crypto 2. Politics 3. Iran Conflict 4. Sports 5. Business & Finance 6. Gaming 7. Artificial Intelligence 8. Videos 9. Science & Technology 10. Entertainment & Arts https://t.co/ycp7OBHp8B— Nikita Bier (@nikitabier) April 30, 2026 Nikita was clear the finding doesn’t reflect shadowbanning. He claims he’s not anti-crypto (a longer discussion for another time). And he is an advisor to Solana and a venture partner at Lightspeed. Perhaps it’s the shilling, token launches, and low-quality promo content, or maybe it’s just bear market things. Or perhaps both… 🏈 Kalshi Is Now a Top-5 US Sportsbook Research firm Eilers & Krejcik Gaming published data Thursday showing that Kalshi ranked as the fourth-largest US sports betting operator in March, surpassing BetMGM, Caesars, Bet365, and BetRivers. The metric is EKG’s proprietary measure of prediction market activity, tracking daily open interest movements, execution prices, and resolution-day activity rather than traditional handle. Sports prediction markets hit an estimated $2 billion in monthly handle-equivalent volume in March, representing 11% of combined US online sportsbook handle. The March Madness tournament was the key driver. Kalshi recorded $13 billion in total trading volume for March alone, an insane 15x year-over-year, with 86% of that volume on sports event contracts. Only DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics were larger. EKG projects full-year 2026 prediction market volume could hit $34 billion, approaching 20% of total sportsbook handle. 🚩 Another DeFi Protocol Drained as Exploit Tally Worsens Wasabi Protocol was drained of approximately $4.5 million on Thursday morning after an attacker compromised its deployer admin key. The attack ran for roughly two hours before security firms flagged it. The mechanic was identical to both the Drift Protocol exploit ($285M, April 1) and the Kelp DAO exploit ($292M, April 18)—a single externally owned account held sole admin control with no multisig, no timelock, and no governance delay. Once the attacker had the key, they granted themselves admin privileges instantly, upgraded Wasabi’s vault contracts to malicious implementations, and drained balances across Ethereum, Base, Berachain, and Blast. DeFi losses in April have now surpassed $770 million across more than 30 incidents, making it the worst month for crypto security since February 2025. The problem continues to be tied to protocols that hand a single private key unilateral control over user funds. Curve founder Michael Egorov and Flying Tulip's André Cronje have both publicly called for industry-wide security standards this month. april 2026 was the worst month ever in terms of defi exploits ~$635M lost in total, 28 incidents in 30 days: 1) apr 1 - drift - $285m 2) apr 3 - silo v2 - $392k 3) apr 4 - tmm - $1.67m 4) apr 5 - denaria finance - $165k 5) apr 9 - aethir - $423k 6) apr 12 - hyperbridge - $2.5m…— Abdul (@0x_Abdul) April 30, 2026 🌎 Macro Crypto and Markets - Crypto majors slightly green as May begins; BTC +1.9%% at $77.4k; ETH +1% at $2,285; SOL +1% at $84; HYPE +5% at $40.60 - TAO (+5%), ZEC (+5%), and HYPE (+5%) led top movers - Oil flat at $105; Gold -2% at $4,580 - Stock futures are slightly green after Apple beat earnings alongside other big tech - Gemini secured a CFTC Derivatives Clearing Organization license on Thursday, allowing it to clear and settle derivatives and prediction market trades entirely in-house - Coinbase Asset Management launched CUSHY Thursday, a tokenized credit fund targeting institutional yield from stablecoin lending, with shares available on Ethereum, Solana, and Base via Superstate’s FundOS platform - PayPal reorganized into three core business segments, with crypto elevated to a top-3 division alongside its payments products - Japan’s JPX is moving forward with preparations to list crypto ETFs as early as 2027, contingent on Japan clarifying its legal framework and tax treatment for digital assets - Sen.
