While large financial institutions globally, such as Bank of America, move to allow their advisers to recommend crypto products, Aussie financial advisers remain poorly informed and reluctant to engage with crypto, according to Andrew McPhee from Swyftx. McPhee said many Aussie advisers continue to hold “outdated misconceptions about digital assets,” and mistakenly believe their clients aren’t interested in crypto, when they should be ramping up efforts to engage clients on crypto. On January 5, Bank of America moved to allow its financial advisers to recommend crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) products to their customers, reflecting an emerging global trend towards professional…
Kirk West filed a countersuit against Nancy Jones, claiming the 5.5 million XRP and US$400k in cash were shared relationship assets, not stolen property. West, an alleged “crypto expert,” is demanding half of their combined wealth, including US$11.6 million in XRP and US$5 million in physical gold and silver. Jones alleges West stole her Ledger wallet containing the funds; while legal teams recovered 5 million XRP, roughly US$1 million in tokens remains missing. A man accused of taking millions of dollars’ worth of XRP from Nancy Jones, the widow of country singer George Jones, is now suing her, arguing the…
Bitwise analysts stress-tested gold and Bitcoin allocations across major equity drawdowns over the past decade. Gold consistently reduced losses during market sell-offs, while Bitcoin tended to outperform during recovery phases. Portfolios combining gold and Bitcoin delivered stronger risk-adjusted returns than holding either asset alone. Ray Dalio’s recommendation that investors allocate roughly 15% of a portfolio to gold and Bitcoin has drawn renewed attention amid concerns over rising US debt and persistent deficit spending. The rationale behind the view centres on protecting portfolios against currency debasement and improving resilience during periods of market stress. To evaluate that approach, analysts at Bitwise…
Over the last three months ending 2025, the majority of altcoins ended up in the red zone, following the underperformance of Bitcoin (BTC) since the early October price crash. Outside of ephemeral memecoin outliers like pippin (PIPPIN), the winning narrative appears to be in privacy-oriented payment systems and real-world asset tokenisation. Accordingly, Zcash (ZEC), Monero (XMR) and Dash (DASH) rose to the top, followed by PAX Gold (PAXG) and Tether Gold (XAUt). As tokenised ownership of physical gold, the latter two mirror the divergence between year-over-year performance of Bitcoin (down 7%) and gold (up 63%). But by the end of…

Australia’s crypto sector is shifting from policy consultation to hands-on regulatory execution according to Blockchain APAC CEO Steve Vallas. New ASIC guidance and proposed digital asset legislation place greater operational responsibility on industry practitioners. Vallas warns that slow or fragmented implementation can create regulatory blind spots without sustained technical engagement. Australia’s crypto industry is moving into what Blockchain APAC chief executive Steve Vallas characterises as a more disciplined and demanding stage of development, as regulatory execution replaces years of policy signalling. In a post on LinkedIn, Vallas says consultation processes and high-level frameworks previously dominated industry engagement, while practical design…
Former NYC Mayor Eric Adams launched “NYC Token” in Times Square, claiming proceeds would fund efforts against antisemitism through an unnamed nonprofit, though he provided few technical details. The token’s market cap hit US$580 million before crashing 80%; on-chain analysts flagged a “rug pull” after a deployer wallet removed US$2.5 million in liquidity at the peak. Adams defended the project on Fox Business, dismissing the crash as a “liquidity rebalance” while repeatedly referring to the industry as “block change technology.” Former NYC mayor Eric Adams promoted a new memecoin, “NYC Token,” on Monday in Times Square, pitching it as a…

Investors and innovators can’t wait forever while Washington stands still, and bad actors exploit the system. This legislation puts Main…
