You can spend weeks paying for everything with your phone and still feel better knowing there’s some cash at home. That might sound old-fashioned until your bank’s app stops working, your card gets declined for reasons nobody can explain, or the power goes out while you need groceries.In those moments, the idea of financial security stops being an abstract ideal you strive for and turns into something very practical. You need to be able to pay, and the money in your account only helps if you can get to it.This seems to be what’s going on in the UK, as…
You don’t have to own Bitcoin to make money from people getting excited about it. On X, just posting about it can be a business in itself, and the company now wants £207,384 back from people it alleges took that business a bit too far.In its Sept. 17 lawsuit, X accuses Vivek Kumar Sen, Zamyang Sherpa, and unidentified operators of running a coordinated account network that manipulated engagement to collect creator payments.If £207,000 seems like very little money for a company the size of X, that’s because it absolutely is. So why is a company that was bought for $44 billion…

The European Banking Authority has asked the European Commission to examine new MiCA rules for crypto firms that connect customers to DeFi loans.Its September 24 response calls for a cost-benefit analysis of possible duties for intermediated borrowing and lending, and for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) that give clients access to DeFi lending through interfaces or products.A loan can run on an on-chain protocol while a company supplies the app that brings a customer to it. The EBA’s recommendation puts that company-controlled route within the Commission’s review, and it is a request to assess legislation, so the EBA’s response itself changes…
Bitget says about $387.5 million in assets was transferred to attacker-controlled addresses during a Sept. 24 wallet breach. Its withdrawals remained suspended in notices issued through Sept. 25, even as deposits and trading continued.On the day of the breach, Sygnum announced that Bitget’s institutional clients could trade against collateral held at the Swiss bank instead of placing that collateral in Bitget’s wallets.The juxtaposition puts a question behind the promise of off-exchange custody: which assets sit beyond an exchange wallet breach, and what still depends on the exchange when trading or withdrawals are disrupted?Sygnum’s route is for eligible institutional clients who…
