MLB Partners With CFTC and Polymarket to Address Growing Prediction Market Risks
Major League Baseball has signed an “integrity protection” agreement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission while also naming Polymarket as its Official Prediction Market Exchange. Commissioner Robert Manfred said the deals are aimed at safeguarding the league as prediction markets rapidly expand into sports-related activity.
The move follows prior warnings issued to players about betting-related risks and comes after incidents involving insider information sharing. MLB said the agreements are designed to proactively manage integrity concerns as platforms begin offering contracts tied to baseball events, including spring training games.

Coinbase Migration Deadline Raises Security Concerns Amid Seed Phrase Debate
Coinbase is facing scrutiny as it pushes users to move funds ahead of a March 31, 2026 deadline tied to its Commerce platform transition. While the company recommends using its official withdrawal tool, it also provides an option for users to import their seed phrase into compatible wallets like Coinbase Wallet or MetaMask.
The inclusion of a seed phrase entry method has sparked backlash from security experts, who warn it could increase the risk of phishing and social engineering attacks. With billions lost annually to crypto scams, critics argue that even legitimate prompts for sensitive information may set a dangerous precedent for user safety.

Security Experts Warn Over Coinbase Page Requesting Seed Phrases
Security researchers are raising concerns about a recovery page linked to Coinbase that asks users to input their 12-word seed phrase directly. SlowMist founder Evilcos described the practice as “unbelievable,” warning that requesting sensitive wallet credentials in plain text goes against basic crypto security principles.
Blockchain investigator ZachXBT echoed the concerns, noting that such a page could be exploited by attackers using social engineering tactics. Experts emphasize that seed phrases should never be shared, as they grant full access to a user’s funds and are a primary target in phishing scams.

DoorDash Launches ‘Tasks’ App to Pay Couriers for Training AI Systems
DoorDash has unveiled a new standalone “Tasks” app that allows delivery couriers to earn money by completing assignments designed to train artificial intelligence and robotics systems. These tasks range from filming everyday activities—like washing dishes—to recording speech in different languages, with payments shown upfront based on the effort and complexity involved.
The collected data will be used to improve both DoorDash’s internal AI models and those of its partners across industries like retail and hospitality. The move mirrors similar efforts by Uber, highlighting a growing trend of gig workers contributing to AI development. The Tasks feature is currently available in select U.S. markets, with plans to expand further as the company looks to “digitize the physical world” through its network of millions of Dashers.

XRP Whale Activity Turns Positive, Supporting Bullish Outlook
XRP is showing early signs of renewed accumulation as whale activity shifts direction. The 90-day average whale flow has turned positive after a prolonged period of selling pressure throughout 2024 and early 2025, indicating that large holders may be re-entering the market.
This shift has historically aligned with the early stages of bullish reversals. Previous transitions from negative to positive whale flow have preceded strong rallies, including XRP’s move toward multi-year highs in 2025. Combined with improving technical signals, the change in whale behavior adds weight to a potential upward trend.

XRP Withdrawals Surge on Upbit, Hinting at Accumulation Phase
XRP is seeing a sharp increase in withdrawals from Upbit, signaling a potential accumulation phase among traders. Data shows that since late 2025, wallets of various sizes have been steadily moving XRP off exchanges, reducing immediate selling pressure in the market.
Historically, similar withdrawal patterns have preceded major rallies. A comparable trend between 2021 and 2023 saw XRP surge from under $1 to above $3. Upbit remains a key hub for XRP trading activity, often reflecting retail sentiment, making the current outflow trend a closely watched signal.

XRP Pullback Seen as Bullish Retest After Flag Breakout
XRP has dropped 10.5% over the past three days, but analysts say the move may be a healthy retest rather than a breakdown. The token recently broke out of a bull flag pattern, and the current pullback toward the mid-$1.40 range could confirm former resistance as new support—a typical continuation signal in technical analysis.
If XRP holds above this level, which aligns with its 20-day moving average, the bullish setup remains intact. The breakout structure points to a potential upside target between $1.70 and $1.72, suggesting further gains of around 20% from current levels if momentum resumes.

Opera Proposes Shift to CELO Tokens in Deeper Push Into Blockchain Ecosystem
Like many blockchain-native tokens, CELO has struggled to return to its previous highs. Source: CoinMarketCapOpera is seeking to restructure its agreement with the Celo ecosystem by replacing cash payments with native tokens. The company has proposed receiving 160 million CELO instead of US dollar-based compensation, pending approval from Celo’s onchain governance community.
If approved, the move would align Opera’s financial incentives more closely with Celo’s long-term growth and position it as one of the largest institutional holders of the token. The companies have collaborated since 2021, with Opera integrating Celo-based stablecoins into its browser and expanding its MiniPay wallet, which now has 14 million users focused on payments in emerging markets.
