forklog.media Execs of Crypto Exchange Coinsquare Resign Over Market Manipulation Accusations

The senior executives of Canada’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange Coinsquare have conceded to the request from the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) to resign, after being charged with falsifying trade volumes. The platform admitted conducting 840,000  illicit transactions to the aggregate amount of 590,000 BTC, as well as the fact that the top management knowingly incentivized employees to feign trading. The exchange also admitted that it had taken a reprisal against an employee who wanted to report the illicit activity to authorities. Coinsquare CEO Cole Diamond, founder Virgile Rostand, and manager Felix Mazer are now obliged to step down from their positions, with Diamond to pay a $1 million fine and Rostand to pay $900,000. On top of that, they are officially banned from any operations involving cryptocurrencies for three years. Mazer has already paid a $50,000 fine. He won’t be able to be a market participant for one year. The regulator recommended that the exchange revises its management model and introduces a whistleblower support program. Initially, the OSC accused Coinsquare of inflating its trade volumes by 600,000 BTC. According to the regulator, 90% of the trade volume at the exchange was created artificially in an illegal practice known as wash trading, or a strategy where the same person acts as both the seller and the buyer, over the period from July 17, 2018, to December 4, 2019.

forklog.media Monthly Trading Volumes on Prediction Platforms Surpass $20 Billion

Since the beginning of the year, monthly turnover on prediction markets has surged to a record $20 billion, with the number of unique wallets tripling to 840,000. These figures were shared by analysts at TRM Labs. Source: TRM Labs. From Cryptocurrencies to Geopolitics The bulk of trading activity is driven by geopolitical events, macroeconomic indicators, and the political agenda in the United States. These have displaced cryptocurrency-focused bets, which previously dominated prediction platforms. This shift occurred amid a downturn in the digital asset sector. On Polymarket, volumes have shifted towards tariffs (116 active markets), ceasefire scenarios in Ukraine, and tensions between China and Taiwan. A contract on a US strike on Iran attracted $73 million—a record for the platform's geopolitical markets. On February 28, Polymarket set a daily record of $425 million, surpassing the peak of the 2024 US presidential election. The record was driven by the resolution of Iranian markets. The volume of bets on the Khamenei departure contract soared from $23,000 to $29.6 million in a day—a 1,275-fold increase, the largest daily jump in history. Market Structure Analysts identified four defining features of Polymarket's structure: Geopolitics dominates, but not in a single theme. Volume is fragmented among overlapping issues: leadership outcomes (Khamenei, Xi, Netanyahu), conflict scenarios (Iran, Ukraine, Venezuela), and political events (US shutdowns). US politics remains the second most significant pillar. Contracts tied to domestic political events. The market does not separate "serious" and "non-serious" events. Alongside wars, elections, and macroeconomic issues, bets in the entertainment and culture category are also in demand. Platforms do not separate contracts by instrumental classification, creating a "super app" experience where users trade various instruments on a single platform. At all levels, markets related to international relations and macroeconomics occupy the top positions. Cryptocurrencies hold a small share. Profitability and Strategies The 10 most successful wallets on Polymarket at the beginning of 2026 demonstrated three behavioral models: macro conviction — several addresses focused on decisions by the Fed, earning $3.26 million; algorithmic market-making — a user earned $3.35 million on over a million small trades on markets related to the Oscar premium; event opportunism — a trader created a wallet, played on Ethereum price fluctuations, earned $709,000, and exited. The top address earned $6.2 million across various markets, including Fed meetings, the World Cup, and the 2028 US presidential election. Six out of ten wallets traded every day for 80 days from January 1 to March 22. Source: TRM Labs. New Investments On March 27, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) announced an investment in Polymarket. The amount was $600 million—part of previously agreed funding, under which the company will invest $2 billion in the platform. ICE also announced the possibility of purchasing Polymarket securities from existing holders for up to $40 million—this will allow increasing the stake as the current fundraising stage progresses. Terms are undisclosed, with a promise to reveal them later. Kalshi raised over $1 billion in a new funding round, increasing its valuation to $22 billion. The deal was led by Coatue Management.

forklog.media Neuralink Patient Plays World of Warcraft Using Mind Control

Elon Musk, head of Neuralink, announced that the company's BCI device can restore speech to those who have lost it. The device translates brain activity into words. Neuralink is restoring speech to those who have lost the ability to speak https://t.co/DySKSyV6yw— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 24, 2026 The entrepreneur commented on a post by the company itself, which shared a video demonstrating the update. In it, ALS patient Kenneth Shock was able to communicate again using the implant. Neuralink's software decodes phonemes (the smallest distinctive units of language), combines them into words, and reproduces them with the patient's original voice. “The disease gradually deprived Kenneth of the ability to speak. As part of Neuralink's VOICE clinical trial, we are exploring how a brain-computer interface designed to convert thoughts into speech can help him regain independence in daily life,” the Neuralink statement reads. The system reads neural activity related to speech, converts it into text, and then vocalizes it through a computer. The process takes some time, but the firm aims for real-time translation to make communication more natural. Musk emphasized that the technology is already operational in real-world conditions and is a step towards enabling people to speak literally through thought. Neuralink's technology is gradually advancing, but the company faces challenges, including regulatory approval, long-term safety, and neurodata privacy. Mass adoption of BCI solutions is still a long way off. Neuralink Patient Plays Warcraft Another Neuralink patient, British veteran paratrooper John L. Noble, shared his achievements since receiving the N1 chip implant 100 days ago. It’s hard to believe it’s already been 100 days since I received my Neuralink N1 implant. Looking back, the whole journey feels like science fiction that somehow became my everyday reality.The surgery on Day 0 was surprisingly easy. A quick general anaesthetic, a small… pic.twitter.com/jmqA428RuV— Jon L. Noble🇬🇧 (@CheckCanopy) March 22, 2026 The surgery was straightforward. A brief general anaesthetic, a small incision, and then a robotic system precisely placed 1024 ultra-thin threads in the motor cortex. Noble awoke feeling refreshed and in good spirits. In the second week, the implant was connected to a new MacBook. Neuralink engineers conducted calibration, and within minutes, the patient was moving the cursor with his mind. “At first, it felt like trying to recall a dream, but by the third week, it became natural. Scrolling, clicking, typing—all controlled by thought,” Noble noted. By day 80, he launched World of Warcraft and was able to play using mind control. “The first raid was a bit clumsy, but once the brain and BCI synchronized, it was pure magic. Now I raid and explore ‘Azeroth’ hands-free, at full speed, without a mouse and keyboard, just with intentions. It's truly impressive. The sense of freedom is captivating,” the patient reported. Noble received thousands of messages of support and inquiries about the technology and its future. Back in April 2025, a woman paralyzed after a stroke regained her speech after 18 years of silence thanks to an experimental BCI and artificial intelligence.
