Democratic legislators have spent months raising alarms about the expanding role of the Trump family in the crypto sector. As the midterm elections draw closer, those concerns are now shaping a broader push to tighten oversight of what has become one of the family’s most profitable ventures. Republicans, who currently hold power in Washington, are working against the clock to deliver on a key campaign pledge from President Donald Trump: passing comprehensive legislation to support the sector. However, advancing that measure requires backing from Senate Democrats. In exchange, Democrats are pressing for new rules that would limit how officials in…

European Banks Incorporate Crypto into Their Core Infrastructure

Krediet Bank and CERA’s (KBC) recent launch in Belgium illustrates a shift in how large financial institutions are introducing access to Ether and Bitcoin. Instead of setting up separate crypto divisions, the bank opted to integrate digital asset trading into its existing retail framework.

The development reflects a wider shift among European banks in their stance toward digital currencies. For a long time, many lenders avoided direct involvement due to concerns about asset custody, regulatory…

North Korean Hackers Steal $500M Worth of Crypto in Two Weeks

Cryptocurrency markets are coming under fresh strain after hackers believed to be linked to North Korea executed two major breaches, draining more than $500 million in just over two weeks.

The most costly of the two attacks hit Kelp DAO, where losses surpassed $290 million, making it the largest known crypto theft this year. Hackers took advantage of weaknesses in the system’s design, especially its reliance on a single validation layer. They were able to…

Bitcoin, Major Cryptos Continue Exhibiting Resilience Amid Geopolitical Tensions

Rising geopolitical strain returned to the spotlight after negotiations between Iran and the United States collapsed during talks held in Pakistan. The fallout has pushed investors toward safer assets, adding pressure to conventional markets while sending oil prices higher.

BTC Community Reacts to Iran’s Bitcoin Use for Hormuz Passage

Debate has intensified within the Bitcoin community over reports that Iran may consider accepting the crypto as payment for oil tanker transit through the Strait of Hormuz, a route that carries roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply. The discussion gained traction after a midweek article by the Financial Times suggested Iranian authorities were exploring alternatives to traditional payment channels, including Bitcoin, in an effort to sidestep U.S.-imposed sanctions. The report quickly drew attention across financial and digital asset circles, prompting both support and skepticism. Subsequent accounts have presented differing views on what forms of payment might actually be under…
