This digest covers four developments: Native American resistance to prediction markets, Iran’s covert USDT purchases, Solana Mobile airdrop news, and CLARITY Act issues.

Native American opposition to prediction markets

Several Native American groups have expressed opposition to prediction markets, citing cultural and ethical concerns about treating futures as tradable bets.

Advocates say the opposition may prompt legal challenges and policy reviews that could affect market operators and platform governance structures.

Iran’s covert USDT purchases

Reports indicate the central bank of Iran secretly bought approximately $500 million in USDT, raising questions about reserve management and sanction avoidance risks.

Officials and analysts note the operation’s opacity, and the purchase has drawn attention from regional observers and financial authorities monitoring stablecoin flows.

Solana Mobile airdrop

Solana Mobile announced an airdrop, with published materials describing eligibility criteria and distribution mechanics for recipients within the Solana ecosystem.

Information released so far focuses on device holders and ecosystem participants, while exact timing and claim procedures remain subject to further clarification.

Problems with the CLARITY Act

The CLARITY Act has encountered legislative and structural problems that prompted the White House to seek withdrawal of its prior support for the bill.

Lawmakers and industry stakeholders now face renewed negotiations to resolve drafting issues, jurisdictional questions, and regulatory scope before advancing any substitute measures.
