The ripples were deep, especially for the humble Ethereum. It dove past the mighty $2,000 support line, hit a low of $1,956, then nudged itself back up like a ship that has finally found its keel.
The lawsuit, filed in the bustling courts of New York, accuses the financial behemoth of shackling merchants with anti-steering rules-a practice as subtle as a bear in a china shop. Apparently, AMEX forbade merchants from whispering sweet nothings about lower-fee cards to their customers. How dare they suggest frugality!
Dubai’s financial regulator, VARA, announced on Thursday that KuCoin is operating without the necessary license to offer virtual asset services within the emirate.
So, Strike got the green light back in February 2026 (yes, we’re living in the future now). Their parent company, Zap Solutions, Inc., jumped through all the hoops New York’s financial regulator set up, which are basically the crypto version of the Hunger Games. Capital reserves? Check. Cybersecurity reviews? Double check. Recurring audits? Triple check. It’s like getting a gold star from the most judgmental teacher in school.
The CryptoQuant scribes, in their endless wisdom, proclaim that the tremors in Hormuz are but a mirror to the fragility of our macroeconomic edifice. When the oil flows are threatened, inflation rears its ugly head, and the financial system, that great Leviathan, writhes in discomfort. Investors, those fickle priests of the market, recalibrate their rituals, their eyes fixed on the altar of interest rates. Yet, in this chaos, Bitcoin clings to its illusions of resilience, a modern-day Sisyphus rolling its boulder up the hill of volatility.
Uala, the neobank from Argentina that’s slowly but surely becoming a fintech powerhouse, just closed another successful funding round. Now, it’s one of the largest fintech companies in Argentina-and in all of Latin America, because why settle for just one country when you can take over a whole region?
Imagine a nightly news segment where the hosts announce, “We’ve finally stopped the phishing armada. Stay tuned for the charity dinner.” That’s exactly what happened on March 4, when the crypto exchange Coinbase shared that it teamed up with Microsoft, Europol, and a satellite of other insiders to knock down Tycoon 2FA. Same day, Europol handed us the play-by-play of the operation-no doubt it involved a flash briefing from Adele about how to “keep your accounts safe.”
In his epistle on the platform X, Suther unfurls a tapestry of price points, each a milestone on the path to XRP’s apotheosis. At $2, the gates creak open for early adopters, and banks, those staid sentinels of tradition, dip their toes into the blockchain brook. Pilot programs flutter like tentative butterflies, testing whether this newfangled settlement can outpace the lumbering leviathans of conventional banking.
Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has just dropped a bombshell for crypto lovers: Stay away from MEXC. Yep, you heard it right. The Estonian-based MEXC, which operates under the more glamorous name “MEXC Global,” is not legally allowed to offer virtual asset services in Dubai. And yet, somehow, they’ve been doing it. Shocking, right?
The latest economic report was disappointing, sparking worries about how well the economy is truly recovering. As a result, Bitcoin’s price dropped below $70,000, as investors doubt authorities will quickly lower interest rates.
