Bitcoin markets are closely tracking upcoming political events, with Bitfinex analysts highlighting President Donald Trump’s 100-day address as a potential inflection point for crypto.  Investors are watching for any indication of alignment between U.S. policy and Bitcoin’s (BTC) future role in the economy. Bitfinex analysts wrote in a note shared with crypto.news that the market will be particularly attuned to mentions of a strategic crypto reserve, deregulatory measures aimed at unlocking capital into U.S.-based digital asset platforms, or rhetoric that frames Bitcoin as part of America’s financial infrastructure.  Even without concrete policy shifts, a supportive tone could reinforce Bitcoin’s legitimacy among institutions and retail investors alike. “The upcoming 100-day address from President Trump is gaining outsized attention within the crypto space,” Bitfinex analysts wrote. “Even without hard policy action, a tone that reinforces institutional legitimacy or economic nationalism through crypto could further embed Bitcoin into the macro-political narrative.” You might also like:‘Massive year for crypto in the U.K.’: London unveils sweeping crypto rules, eyes regulatory ties with USA Tightened on-chain supply This anticipation comes amid a tightening on-chain supply of Bitcoin. Exchange deposits are at multi-week lows, indicating reduced selling pressure and an increase in self-custody behavior.  Bitfinex cautioned that while this metric alone isn’t sufficient for investment decisions, its combination with recent macro volatility and the aftermath of a $7.2 billion options expiry may suggest a setup similar to past bullish breakouts. The divergence between steady prices and falling exchange balances, analysts noted, has historically been a precursor to upside moves, especially when accompanied by consistent demand from ETFs and institutions.

Nexus is building an AI R&D organization aimed at creating artificial intelligence agents that are transparent and verifiable to their users. Artificial intelligence continues to gain attention in the blockchain space, infrastructure company Nexus announced on Thursday, May 8, the launch of its dedicated AI research and development lab: the Nexus Verifiable AI Lab. The Nexus Verifiable AI Lab will work on bridging blockchain verifiability with artificial intelligence. They will focus on developing AI models that are auditable and trustworthy, with the help of zero-knowledge proofs. You might also like:Big Tech’s biggest nightmare? Decentralized AI | Opinion The primary goal is to address a growing concern with today’s large language models: their lack of transparency. Currently, users have no insight into how AI systems arrive at specific outputs, nor can they determine whether those outputs stem from machine logic or human input. AI needs to be transparent to grow: Nexus The opacity of AI systems is a particular concern in regulated industries. In industries such as healthcare, finance, etc, corporate users have to know where the training data is coming from, and how the model generates its outputs. “Modern AI systems are powerful — but opaque. We rarely know exactly what data they were trained on,  which version was deployed, or whether the output we see was actually generated by the model we tested. In regulated domains like healthcare, finance, and law, this opacity is a dealbreaker,”Nexuswrote Nexus’s efforts showcase the growing convergence between AI and blockchain technologies. In particular, blockchain systems can provide the transparency and open-source nature that current AI models lack. What is more, Nexus is just one of the companies working on verifiable AI. For instance, Oasis Protocol launched its verifiable AI agents on April 29. With these agents, users can independently verify how they is they are applying the correct trading strategy.

A coalition of 30 crypto advocacy groups, led by the Crypto Council for Innovation, has urged the Securities and Exchange Commission to clarify regulations on staking and staking services. In response to the SEC’s recent call for public input on whether staking and liquid staking should fall under federal securities laws, the coalition submitted a joint letter outlining why they believe staking should not be treated as a securities activity. The letter, addressed to SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, comes amid growing calls from the crypto industry for regulatory clarity around core blockchain infrastructure. The group, coordinated through the Council’s Proof of Stake Alliance, which counts Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, ConsenSys, and the Blockchain Association among its members, argued that staking is a “technical process” that helps secure proof-of-stake networks, not an investment arrangement. Backing their position, the coalition said staking fails to meet the legal definition of an “investment contract” under the Howey test, the key framework the SEC uses to determine whether something qualifies as a security. They argued that stakers do not invest money with an expectation of profit derived from the efforts of others. Instead, users retain full ownership of their tokens, which they can withdraw at any time, and any rewards are determined automatically by the blockchain protocol. Furthermore, the letter emphasized that staking providers are not responsible for generating profits, unlike traditional businesses that rely on managerial decisions to generate returns. Instead, staking services act as intermediaries, connecting users to blockchain networks where rewards are determined automatically by the protocol.

They also proposed a set of practical standards for staking providers, such as transparent disclosures around fees and slashing risks, public audits of smart contract code, clear user consent procedures, and the use of accurate, non-promotional language. “By providing clear, principles-based guidance, the SEC would ensure that the U.S. remains competitive in the rapidly growing digital asset market,” the group said, adding that other jurisdictions like the U.K., Canada, and Hong Kong have already taken steps to clarify their approach to staking. They warned that without similar clarity in the U.S., innovation could shift overseas, leaving American companies and users at a disadvantage. ​The letter comes as several ETF issuers, including Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, VanEck, and Grayscale, have filed to include staking in their proposed spot crypto ETFs. However, the SEC has yet to approve any such proposals and has recently delayed decisions on several of these filings. Nevertheless, analysts remain hopeful that approvals are on the horizon. Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart have projected 75% to 90% chances of approval for many pending crypto ETFs by the end of 2025.
