    Trump Makes Good on Threat, Sues JPMorgan for $5 Billion Over Debanking

    President Donald Trump sued Wall Street giant JPMorgan for $5 billion on Thursday, claiming in a Florida lawsuit that the company debanked him and his businesses for political reasons. The legal action, against both the bank and its CEO, Jamie Dimon, follows threats the president made on Saturday to sue JPMorgan for “incorrectly and inappropriately debanking me after the January 6th protest, a protest that turned out to be correct for those doing the protesting.” In the lawsuit, Trump’s attorney...

    President Donald Trump said Wednesday he hopes to sign crypto’s coveted market structure bill “very soon,” likely adding pressure to a legislative effort that nearly went off the rails last week. “Now Congress is working very hard on crypto market structure legislation, which I hope to sign very soon, unlocking new pathways to reach financial freedom,” Trump said during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, reading from prepared remarks.  “Bitcoin, all of them,” the president added, loo...

    A Massachusetts judge ruled Tuesday that state regulators can ban Kalshi from offering sports-related prediction markets—the first-ever order of its kind levied against prediction market platforms in the United States. For months, state governments have sought to regulate lucrative prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket, deeming them sports betting platforms. The companies have pushed back aggressively with lawsuits, arguing they do not offer customers state-regulated sports bets, but ins...

    The nearly $6.4 million worth of Bitcoin seized by federal law enforcement from the creators of privacy tool Samourai Wallet has not been liquidated, and will be added to a national Bitcoin reserve, a White House official said Friday. The announcement follows concerns floated last month by the attorneys and family members of the now-incarcerated developers that rogue Department of Justice attorneys in New York were intent on liquidating the funds. Such a move would have run counter to the spirit...

    Crypto Crystal Ball 2026: Will Ethereum Finally Start Going Parabolic?

    It’s never easy being an Ethereum maxi. True, ETH did hit a new all-time high this year; but relative to the Ethereum network’s numerous recent technical and economic triumphs, such price action still seems rather insufficient to many. Ethereum has always been an anomaly, sitting somewhere between Bitcoin’s golden store-of-value legitimacy and every other crypto token in existence. It’s certainly in a league of its own compared to most other tokens—but hasn’t had its Bitcoin moment quite yet. At...

But this year, amidst seismic regulatory developments for the crypto industry, Ethereum has stealthily made huge inroads in arenas it long was perceived to have neglected. From Wall Street...
