    Another Democrat Quits SEC After Gary Gensler—Here’s What It Means

    A day after Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair Gary Gensler announced that he plans to resign once Donald Trump is sworn in as president, another Democrat on the five-member Commission announced Friday that he is also stepping down.  Jaime Lizárraga, who has served as an SEC commissioner since 2022, said today that he will step down from his role on January 17, 2025, and has already informed President Joe Biden of those plans. Gensler is set to depart three days later on January 20....

    Polymarket Blocks Users in France After Trump Betting Controversy

    After weeks of escalating tensions between Polymarket and the French government, the popular prediction betting market opted to block France-based users on Friday—cutting out a major market for the site.  Users attempting to access the site from France today found a new pop-up preventing them from doing so.  “You appear to be located in the United States, France, or another related jurisdiction,” the new pop-up reads. “Trading is not available to U.S. persons, persons located in the United State...

    Crypto Scores Crucial Court Win Against SEC as Gensler Calls It Quits

    A federal judge in Texas dealt a decisive blow to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s crypto policy on Thursday, ruling that the agency’s expansion of an existing securities law to apply to decentralized finance (DeFi) users and projects was unlawful and in excess of the regulator’s authority.  Judge Reed O’Connor granted summary judgment to the Blockchain Association, a crypto lobbying group that sued the SEC in April over the agency’s expansion of the legal definition of the word “de...

    MicroStrategy Hits All-Time High Price After Bitcoin Tops $98,000

    MicroStrategy (MSTR) opened to yet another all-time high on Thursday as the price of Bitcoin itself surged to a fresh peak above $98,000. But MSTR shortly thereafter dove over 18% before recovering, with such volatility arriving as Wall Street adjusts to massive expectations for crypto stocks, fueled by Bitcoin’s meteoric post-election surge.  Similar dips appeared to impact other Bitcoin-related stocks on Thursday morning. Bitfarms (BITF), the Bitcoin mining firm, has fallen by 6% to $2.06 at w...

    Trump Team Considering First-Ever Crypto White House Role: Bloomberg

    Donald Trump and his transition team are actively discussing the possibility of creating a full-time White House position focused on crypto policy, according to a report out Wednesday in Bloomberg. The role, if created, would constitute the first-ever job dedicated to cryptocurrency at the White House level. Presidents routinely appoint “czars” to focus on specific, high-priority issues, ranging from climate change to border security. Placing a crypto czar in the Trump White House would grant th...

    MicroStrategy’s thirst for Bitcoin cannot be quenched, despite holding over $31 billion worth. Barely two days after announcing a plan to sell $1.75 billion worth of convertible notes as a means to buy up more of the world’s top cryptocurrency, the firm said on Wednesday that it has expanded that offering to $2.6 billion worth of notes.  Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy’s co-founder and executive chairman, said the move was made due to “high demand” for the new notes over the last 48 hours.  Given...

    Bitcoin, Tether Bull Howard Lutnick Is Trump's Pick for Commerce Chief—Not Treasury

    Donald Trump has selected Wall Street billionaire and Bitcoin bull Howard Lutnick to serve as his Commerce Secretary, reports the Wall Street Journal. By doing so, Trump has rejected the investor’s reported push to run the Treasury Department, a position with far greater sway over the U.S. economy. Running the Department of Commerce is certainly no small prize for Lutnick, who is currently co-chairing Trump’s transition team. As Commerce chief—if confirmed by the U.S. Senate—Lutnick would handle...

    Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan, the rapper-turned-Bitcoin-thief, was sentenced to 18 months in a U.S. federal prison on Monday for her role in the infamous 2016 Bitfinex hack, which saw Morgan and her husband steal $10.8 billion worth of BTC (by today’s price) from the crypto exchange.  Morgan received her sentence on Monday afternoon at a federal courthouse in Washington, D.C.

    Just when he looked poised to tap a crypto bull to run America’s economy, Donald Trump is reportedly having a rethink.  After whittling down his list of possible Treasury Secretary picks to Wall Street executives Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick last week, the president-elect is now reconsidering whether either crypto advocate is up to the job—and is considering some less crypto-friendly alternatives, according to a new report in The New York Times.  The issues appear to primarily be interperson...

    Even months ago, it would’ve sounded like a meme-induced fever dream. Crypto emerging as the biggest winner of the 2024 election; Elon Musk, Dogecoin’s most prominent advocate, rising to unprecedented levels of influence and power; the incoming U.S. presidential administration  planning to establish a new federal agency—literally—called D.O.G.E.  But it’s all real, and it’s all happening. And off the remarkable events of the last week, Dogecoin has soared. On election day, DOGE hovered around $0...
