    Iran Wants Bitcoin Payments From Oil Ships Seeking Hormuz Passage: FT

    In the wake of a two-week ceasefire reached last night between the United States and Iran, Iranian leaders have announced a Bitcoin-centered plan to retain control of the Strait of Hormuz while allowing oil tankers to resume normal traffic through the crucial waterway. The Iranian government will levy a fee of $1 per every barrel of oil that passes through the strait, and the fee will have to be paid in Bitcoin, according to a Wednesday report in the Financial Times.

    Attorneys for the Department of Justice poured cold water Tuesday on Ethereum developer Roman Storm’s latest plea for dismissal of his criminal case—which could now head to court for a second time.  In a letter sent today, federal prosecutors urged federal judge Katherine Polk Failla to disregard a recent Supreme Court ruling, which Storm’s attorneys said could have significant implications for the software developer’s current legal woes. Storm was arrested and charged in 2023 for operating Tor...

    Kalshi Scores Biggest Legal Win Yet in Appeals Court Decision Against New Jersey

    A federal appeals court in Philadelphia handed a significant victory to Kalshi Monday, ruling that New Jersey has no claim to regulate the prediction market under existing state gambling laws. Wagers on Kalshi—including those related to sports—instead fall under the federal purview of the CFTC, a panel of federal appeals judges ruled 2-1 on Monday. The appeals court affirmed a preliminary injunction granted last spring against New Jersey, after gambling regulators in the state sent Kalshi a ceas...

    Trump’s New Attorney General Held Bitcoin—But Has a Mixed Crypto Track Record

    On Thursday, President Donald Trump fired his attorney general, Pam Bondi—and elevated her deputy, Todd Blanche, to run the Department of Justice. Trump suggested the promotion was temporary, but reports suggest the president is waiting to see how Blanche, his former personal attorney, performs in the new role. Blanche’s promotion has many implications, including some for crypto. The former federal prosecutor instigated a number of pro-industry reforms at the Department of Justice last year, and...

    The Justice Department and the CFTC jointly filed lawsuits Thursday against Illinois, Arizona, and Connecticut, coming to the aid of prediction markets in the latest escalation of an ongoing jurisdictional battle over the novel sector. In the lawsuits, the Trump administration argues the CFTC has exclusive jurisdiction to regulate sports-related wagers on popular prediction market platforms including Polymarket and Kalshi. In the last year, a growing number of states have sued such platforms, ar...

    Trump Policy Has Crypto Privacy Developers in a 'Very Bad State', Says Coin Center

    For over a year now, the White House has made strong efforts to court the crypto industry, rolling out permissive regulations that have turbocharged the sector’s integration with the U.S. economy.   But there’s one issue that still keeps some crypto industry leaders up at night, despite the Donald Trump administration’s many promises on the subject: protections for software developers.  Last year, the Trump Justice Department made multiple commitments to stop prosecuting the developers of crypt...

    Tether, the world’s top stablecoin issuer, announced Tuesday it will soon make good on a yearslong promise to audit its sprawling stablecoin reserves—but won’t yet disclose which firm will actually do the job. Tether claims to hold some $192 billion in assets in reserve around the world to back the value of its dollar-pegged stablecoin, USDT. The majority of those reserves are purported to be held in U.S. Treasuries. But, ever since its founding in 2014, the company has refrained from undergoin...

    A bipartisan duo of U.S. senators plan to introduce legislation Monday that would ban American prediction markets from offering sports-related wagers. The proposed bill, from Adam Schiff (D-CA) and John Curtis (R-UT), would prohibit prediction market platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi from offering sports markets that they allege constitute unlicensed sports betting by another name. News of the impending bill was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. “Too many young people in Utah are ge...

The temporary restraining order, or TRO, will last until April 3, when a hearing will be held regarding Nevada’s motion for a preliminary injunction in its case against Kalshi. A preliminary injunction could potentially extend the temporary ban on Kalshi...

    The U.S. Senate passed a bill Thursday containing a ban on the development of an American CBDC, often called a “digital dollar”—but the legislation has some ways to go before it's signed into law. The ban on an American CBDC, or central bank digital currency, would last until 2031. It was added to a sweeping housing bill otherwise unrelated to crypto, dubbed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. That bill passed the Senate on Thursday with rare, overwhelming support—89 to 10.

Since President Donald Trump’s return to power, the Wall Street regulator has dropped virtually all crypto-related cases it inherited from prior administrations. The agency’s new leadership has argued it should have no part in regulating most crypto activity. But on Thursday, the SEC moved to settle its longstanding case against Justin Sun, a co...
