    Bitcoin Price Touches $87K for First Time Since Trump's Liberation Day

    The Bitcoin price broke through $87,600 on Monday during Asian trading hours, reaching its highest level since early April. Analysts said investors are increasingly rotating capital into hard assets as inflation concerns continue. The uptick was primarily due to "rising global liquidity, fueled by an expanding M2 money supply and a weakening U.S. dollar." Vincent Liu, chief investment officer at Kronos Research, told Decrypt. M2 money refers to slightly less liquid forms than physical cash, like...

    It took Abu Dhabi regulators almost seven years to notice, but they have now levied $12.45 million in fines against crypto firm Hayvn Group for lack of anti-money laundering controls. The firm and former CEO Christopher Flinos were routing client transactions through AC Holding—an unlicensed special purpose vehicle—since October 2018. That means they were operating with virtually no anti-money laundering controls in place, according to regulators. Those actions were "particularly serious," Emman...
