Prediction Market OI reached new weekly ATH at $1.25B Prediction market open interest just hit a new all-time high of $1.25B, up 27% comparing with week before. The primary driver is clear: the US-Israel strikes on Iran that began late February triggered a flood of capital into prediction markets. OI breakdown for the last week higs: • Kalshi - $810M • Polymarket - $415M • Opinion - $27.7M • Predictdotfun - $14.2M • Probable - $585K • Myriad - $563K • Limitless - $557K A single multi-outcome market on Polymarket on the timing of strikes accumulated over $500M in bets alone. Traders wagered more than $194M on whether Khamenei would be removed as Supreme Leader - a market that resolved on Feb 28 when he was confirmed killed in the first wave of airstrikes. Notably, Opinion OI continues to decline, collapsing over 70% – from a $96M to $27.7M – in one week. Airdrop farmers exited, nad capital that was parked on Opinion chasing points is now rotating into Kalshi and Polymarket,consolidating around winners. Source 🔗Artemis @TOP7ICO

Partners include: Binance, Circle, Gemini, Plume, PayPal, Paxos, Ripple, BitGo, Crypto.cоm, 1Money, Anchorage Digital, Aptos, Arc, Ava Labs, Axelar, etc. The context matters here: stablecoin transfer volumes topped $27.6T in 2025 - exceeding the combined volumes of both Visa and Mastercard's traditional networks. This isn't Mastercard dabbling in crypto anymore, especially with Visa already processing over $715M in monthly crypto card volume against Mastercard's $275M, according to Paymentscan data. Participants will work directly with Mastercard teams on product design and future services, including solutions that combine the speed and programmability of digital assets with the global reach of Mastercard's network. 🔗mastercard.com/us/en/news-and-trends/stories/2026/mastercard-crypto-partner-program.html @TOP7ICO

Ripple launches $750M share buyback at $50B valuation Ripple plans to repurchase shares from investors and employees through a tender offer expected to run through April. The deal implies a $50B valuation - 25% higher than the $40B attached to its November fundraise, which pulled in Citadel Securities, Fortress Investment Group, Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, Brevan Howard, and Marshall Wace. Moreover, a prior $1B buyback attempt at the same $40B valuation in September 2025 had the lowest participation of any prior round. Ripple has no IPO plans, per President Monica Long. Instead, the company is using buybacks as a private liquidity mechanism - giving long-time holders an exit without touching public markets. $XRP spot ETFs have now attracted $1.26B in cumulative inflows since launching in November 2025. 🔗theblock.co/post/393299/ripple-launches-750-million-share-buyback-at-50-billion-valuation @TOP7ICO

Top 10 Chains by Tokenized Value Growth: Starknet, HyperEVM and Ink leading Tokenized market cap reflects the total value of real-world and onchain assets that have been issued in tokenized form across different blockchains. Latest leaders by tokenized value growth include: • Starknet: +92.8% in last 30 days • HyperEVM: +66.6% • Ink: +23.8% • Stellar: +11.2% • Polygon: +8.8% • Solana: +8.7% • Celo: +7.9% • BNB Chain: +7.7% • Berachain: +5.9% • TON: +5.5% What's driving the leaders: 🔘Starknet inflows tied to the launch of STRK20, a new privacy-first token standard that brings zero-knowledge proofs directly to RWA issuance. 🔘HyperEVM tokenized growth makes sense in the context of HIP-3, as trade.xyz and other HIP-3 operators build equity and commodity perps on Hyperliquid. 🔘Ink captures the momentum behind xStocks - Kraken's tokenized equity product. xStocks also just announced a reward point program - xPoints. Tokenization is becoming one of the strongest structural growth areas in crypto, and more chains are competing to capture that flow. @TOP7ICO

Hyperliquid became the Benchmark Oil Market while CME Slept As geopolitical tensions in the Middle East sent Brent and WTI above $110 per barrel, traders didn't wait for Monday morning. They went onchain. HIP-3 became the de facto price discovery venue for oil and commodities while CME was closed. Open interest on HIP-3 hit a record $1.2B, with oil contracts leading volume. On one Sunday alone,$CL markets traded over $1.6B in 24 hours. Of the top 30 markets on Hyperliquid, only 7 were crypto pairs - the rest were commodities and equities. Beyond Hyperliquid, Ostium has also emerged as a serious onchain venue for $WTI oil trading, with $1.25B in cumulative volume and $60M in open interest. Main Onchain Oil markets include: 🔹TradeXYZ $CL - Vol 24h: $1.24B | OI: $240M $BRENTOIL - Vol 24h: $168M | OI: $50.7M 🔹Ostium $WTI - Vol 24h: $207M | OI: $60M 🔹Felix $OIL - Vol 24h: $5.48M | OI: $5.65M 🔹Kinetiq $USOIL - Vol 24h: $1.09M | OI: $3.89M Ostium operates independently from the HIP-3 ecosystem. Unlike TradeXYZ which trades 24/7 by pricing weekend risk into dynamic funding rates, Ostium follows traditional market hours, but still aggregates solid volume. Crypto isn't just replacing TradFi rails – it's now the only market that never closes. @TOP7ICO

Across Protocol explores letting token holders swap ACX for equity Across Protocol, a Paradigm-backed blockchain interoperability protocol, has posted a temperature check proposal exploring a transition from DAO and token structure to a U.S. C-corporation and equity structure. Under the plan, a new entity called AcrossCo would become the operating company behind Across Protocol. ACX tokenholders would then have two options: equity exchange and token buyout. Larger holders would exchange directly, while smaller holders could participate through a no-fee special purpose vehicle structure. The token buyout option would allow holders to redeem ACX for USDC at $0.04375 with a six-month window to decide. 🔘Current ACX price: $0.069 (+85%) 🔘Current FDV: $69.6M 🔗theblock.co/post/393192/paradigm-backed-across-protocol-acx-token-equity-exchange @TOP7ICO
