Supreme Court Says Nonprofits Can Challenge Government Requests For Donor Information

Finance　　Supreme Court Says Nonprofits Can Challenge Government Requests For Donor Information　　A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision suggests that sensitive donor information may be protected—for now.　　On April 29, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled in First Choice Women‘s Resource Centers v. Davenport that a New Jersey nonprofit had standing to challenge a state subpoena demanding its donor information. The nation’s highest court overturned a lower court decision that had said the group had to wait until the subpoena was actually enforced.　　The Court ruled that the non-profit didnt have to wait for the government to force it to comply before it could challenge the subpoena. Just being asked to hand over sensitive donor information—especially because it could scare people away from donating—is enough to constitute a legal injury.　　Importantly, the Court did not decide whether the subpoena itself is unconstitutional. It only decided that the nonprofit has the right to challenge it now, rather than later.　　Justice Gorsuch wrote the opinion for a unanimous Court.　　First Choice Background　　First Choice Womens Resource Centers is a religious nonprofit that has operated in New Jersey since 1985, providing counseling and resources to pregnant women. The organization believes that life begins at conception and, consistent with that belief, does not

Solana price stuck in range - Can SOL reverse its long-term downtrend?

Tech　　Solana price stuck in range – Can SOL reverse its long-term downtrend？　　Since the 4th of May, Solana [SOL] has rallied 7.2%. Its price has been above $80 for a while now, and AMBCrypto reported that some bulls were confident in the altcoins upward momentum.　　Source: SOL/USDT on TradingView　　Even after four consecutive green days, SOL continued to labor under a bearish trend. The range formation since February, combined with the downtrend that preceded it, meant SOLs chances of a breakout past the psychological $100 level were slim.　　Source: Glassnode　　The new addresses growth has been trending downward since March but recently saw a small uptick in new addresses. However, this increase was minimal compared to the new participant interest that accompanied Solana during past bull runs.　　Comparing with a bull run might be unfair, given the wide consensus that Bitcoin [BTC] and Solana were in a bear market. The new address growth trends tend to remain muted during times of downturn, as they have been since March.　　In other words, the data does not support the idea of widespread retail demand and an impending breakout from the range.　　What the MVRV extreme deviation bands can tell us about Solana trendsSource: Glassnode　　In May 2022, SOL prices fell below

Pump.fun Traders See 70% Profitability Surge in 2026

After two years of persistent losses, traders on the meme coin platform Pump.fun are staging a striking comeback. According to CoinGecko data, 70% of Pump.fun wallets recorded profits in March 2026, a significant leap from the platforms low point in June 2025, when only 30.1% of traders were in the green. By April 2026, profitability had climbed further to 73.3%, solidifying the trend reversal.　　Pump.fun, launched in January 2024, operates as a Solana-based launchpad for meme coins, allowing users to create and trade tokens with minimal technical skills. The platforms model, built around bonding curves, had initially gained traction but became infamous for high volatility and rampant losses. Between April 2024 and late 2025, the majority of active wallets posted monthly losses, as inexperienced traders flooded the platform.　　The turnaround appears to coincide with a decline in overall trading activity. Monthly active wallets peaked at 5.2 million in May 2025 but dropped to 1.8 million by December of the same year. This contraction likely reflects the exit of less experienced retail participants, leaving a more selective and seasoned base of traders. In early 2026, wallet activity started recovering, reaching 3.3 million by March, with profitability metrics improving alongside.　　Small Gains Dominate, High-Frequency Trading

GPT-Realtime-2 brings GPT-5 intelligence to voice API

OpenAI released a new generation of voice models in its API on Wednesday, giving developers tools to build apps that can reason through spoken requests, translate across +70 languages, and transcribe speech as it happens.　　The three models are named GPT-Realtime-2, GPT-Realtime-Translate, and GPT-Realtime-Whisper. They move AI voice interfaces beyond simple Q&A exchanges into a territory where an AI agent can listen, think, and act mid-conversation.　　GPT-Realtime-2 is the flagship. OpenAI says it offers GPT-5-class reasoning, a significant step up from its predecessor, GPT-Realtime-1.5.　　The model scored 15.2% higher on Big Bench Audio, a benchmark for audio intelligence, and 13.8% higher on Audio MultiChallenge, which tests instruction following in multi-turn spoken dialogue.　　The practical upgrades target developers building production voice agents. The model now supports a 128K context window, quadrupled from the previous 32K limit, and offers five tiers of adjustable reasoning effort from “minimal” to “xhigh.”　　It can call multiple tools simultaneously, recover from errors with spoken acknowledgments, and produce short bridging phrases like “let me check that” while processing a request.　　GPT-Realtime-Translate handles live speech translation. It accepts more than 70 input languages and outputs in 13, designed to keep pace with a speaker in real time.　　GPT-Realtime-Whisper provides streaming speech-to-text (STT), transcribing words as

Vitalik Buterin gets sandwiched by JaredfromSubway as Ethereum MEV risks linger

Buterin has spent the past several months pitching encrypted mempools as a fix for toxic MEV in Ethereums 2026 roadmap.　　MEV is the profit that whoever orders transactions on a blockchain can pocket by reshuffling them. Anyone running a bot that watches the public mempool, the holding pen where pending transactions sit before being added to a block, can spot opportunities to insert their own trades around someone elses.　　Sandwich attacks are the most aggressive form, with cumulative MEV extracted on Ethereum is now over $1.2 billion and these type of attacks accounting for roughly 51% of the total volume.　　Buterin, among other developers, argue that MEV creates a hidden tax on regular users that can favour large, specialized operators over everyone else.　　Jaredfromsubway.eth rose to prominence in 2023 as it sandwiched traders of meme coins like pepe and wojak during the then meme frenzy.　　It briefly accounted for 7% of all gas fees on the network in April that year, and has reportedly extracted more than $7 million from victims across hundreds of thousands of transactions since.　　The bot adapts faster than the protocols trying to stop it. It has survived contract upgrades, mempool filtering, and several attempts by builders to design exploits that drain

VanEck Sees Bitcoin Reach $1M on ‘Mega Adoption’ Trend

Sigel‘s take joins several similar views on Bitcoin’s price trajectory in the coming years, including predictions from Bernstein, Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan, Jan3 CEO Samson Mow and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, among others.　　Cathie Wood‘s ARK Invest’s 2030 Bitcoin price targets range from about $300,000 in a bear case to $710,000 in a base case and $1.5 million in a bull case, according to its Big Ideas 2025 model.　　Some investors are more skeptical about Bitcoins adoption, though. Ray Dalio has said Bitcoin could act as a store of value but questioned its ability to scale into a global reserve asset amid regulatory and sovereign currency risks. Others, including gold advocate Peter Schiff, have argued Bitcoin lacks intrinsic value and is unlikely to displace traditional safe-haven assets like gold, casting doubt on seven-figure price forecasts.　　Cointelegraph is committed to independent, transparent journalism.

Gold holds steady below $4,700 as traders eye US jobs report, potential US-Iran peace deal

Finance　　Gold holds steady below $4,700 as traders eye US jobs report, potential US-Iran peace deal　　Gold price (XAU/USD) holds steady near $4,685 during the early Asian session on Friday. Traders prefer to wait on the sidelines ahead of the key US employment data for April, which is due later in the day.　　Economists expect a gain of 62,000 jobs for April, while the Unemployment Rate is projected to remain steady at 4.3%. This report might dictate the Federal Reserves (Fed) next move regarding interest rates. Any signs of improvement in the US labor market could lift the US Dollar (USD) and weigh on the USD-denominated commodity price in the near term.　　On the other hand, optimism over a US-Iran peace deal has led to a sharp drop in oil prices and eased concerns over inflation. The US President Donald Trump administration has been waiting for Iran to respond to its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war.　　Iran‘s leaders haven’t indicated whether they‘ll accept the terms of the deal, though they’ve previously shown little sign of yielding on their nuclear program and accepting a moratorium on enriching uranium.
