President Donald Trump's civil rights attorney astounded a legal expert on Thursday after she boosted a bet on the prediction market Polymarket about her ability to prosecute a journalist.

Harmeet Dhillon, Trump's deputy attorney general for the DOJ's civil rights division, reposted a Polymarket bet on X about former CNN anchor Don Lemon being indicted in connection with a Minnesota church protest. The Department of Justice made multiple arrests related to the protest earlier in the day, and the Trump administration has weighed charging Lemon under the KKK Act for seeking to deprive others of their rights.

Polymarket said there was a 36% chance Lemon would face criminal charges.

A federal judge recently rebuffed the DOJ's attempt to charge Lemon, arguing there was no basis for the charges.

Dhillon's repost caught the eye of Adam Klasfeld, editor-in-chief of All Rise News, who said it seemed like she was trying to boost the odds that she would be able to "corrupt the system."

"Ms. Dhillon is apparently quite proud that people are literally gambling roughly one-in-three odds that she'll be able to corrupt the system enough to do it following her initial failure," Klasfeld posted on X.

Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield

The post Botanix launches stBTC to deliver Bitcoin-native yield appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Botanix Labs has launched stBTC, a liquid staking token designed to turn Bitcoin into a yield-bearing asset by redistributing network gas fees directly to users. The protocol will begin yield accrual later this week, with its Genesis Vault scheduled to open on Sept. 25, capped at 50 BTC. The initiative marks one of the first attempts to generate Bitcoin-native yield without relying on inflationary token models or centralized custodians. stBTC works by allowing users to deposit Bitcoin into Botanix’s permissionless smart contract, receiving stBTC tokens that represent their share of the staking vault. As transactions occur, 50% of Botanix network gas fees, paid in BTC, flow back to stBTC holders. Over time, the value of stBTC increases relative to BTC, enabling users to redeem their original deposit plus yield. Botanix estimates early returns could reach 20–50% annually before stabilizing around 6–8%, a level similar to Ethereum staking but fully denominated in Bitcoin. Botanix says that security audits have been completed by Spearbit and Sigma Prime, and the protocol is built on the EIP-4626 vault standard, which also underpins Ethereum-based staking products. The company’s Spiderchain architecture, operated by 16 independent entities including Galaxy, Alchemy, and Fireblocks, secures the network. If adoption grows, Botanix argues the system could make Bitcoin a productive, composable asset for decentralized finance, while reinforcing network consensus. This is a developing story.
