When Russian investigators detained IT specialist Yuri Belenkiy in September 2025, Binance had been formally out of Russia for almost two years. Its customer records, however, were still available.Law enforcement documents reviewed by Reuters show that Binance supplied personal and transaction data later incorporated into a Russian terrorism-financing case against Belenkiy.The 49-year-old Russian passport holder, who also has a Bulgarian residence permit, is accused of sending more than $700 in crypto to Ukrainian recipients between January 2023 and March 2024. Russian authorities say the payments supported a group linked to the Azov military unit, which Moscow designates as a terrorist…

US regulators have already found a home for true Bitcoin perpetuals inside the CFTC’s exchange framework. The SEC is now turning to another part of the same market: how a team can pay to build a network before its token has much use.A derivatives exchange starts with an established asset and places a new contract around it. A token project usually starts with a promise. Buyers provide the capital needed to write the code, launch the network, and make the token useful, while the founding team promises to do the work that could make their purchase more valuable. That bargain…

The Nov. 3 midterm election is less than 11 weeks away, and its betting market had already surpassed the full 2024 congressional cycle in the latest comparable data.Traders had placed at least $133 million across markets tied to House and Senate races by Aug. 10, compared with $92.4 million during all of 2024. The menu expanded from 464 comparable congressional markets to 7,466, covering primaries, vote shares, turnout, endorsements, candidate remarks, and winners.The top-line volume makes election betting look huge, but the participation data shows something narrower. On Polymarket Global, the top 1% of wallets account for 68% of congressional…

Riot Platforms entered 2026 with 3,977 BTC pledged against a $200 million Coinbase loan. Bitcoin then fell far enough that the agreement required another 1,825 BTC, taking the collateral balance to 5,802 in February.Those coins still belonged to Riot and sat in a segregated custody account under Coinbase’s lien. Riot couldn’t deploy them elsewhere while they protected the loan, so the selloff restricted more of its treasury at the same time its core asset was weak.Now that mechanism is reversing. Bitcoin’s three-day rally carried it close to $78,000, its highest price in three months. If Riot’s latest disclosed balance of…

Bitcoin enters the weekend within striking distance of $80,000, registering an intraday high at $79,500 on Aug. 21.The move caps the biggest weekly rally in two years, built on a rare combination. A surprise Treasury intervention, roughly $1.6 billion of spot ETF inflows, and billions of dollars in forced short liquidations all landed together.That combination is also what makes the next two days a genuine test. ETF trading stops until Monday, Treasury markets close, and much of the leveraged short positioning that fueled the squeeze has already been forced out.What remains once those three mechanical supports pause is Bitcoin’s native…

By July 18, 2028, a stablecoin could still move freely across blockchains and yet disappear from the buy menu on an American exchange. Under the Treasury Department’s proposed GENIUS Act rules, a digital asset service provider wouldn’t be able to offer or sell a payment stablecoin to someone in the United States from that date unless its issuer fits one of the law’s permitted categories.The proposal doesn’t ban an offshore token from circulating abroad or moving between private wallets; it just controls how regulated businesses distribute that token inside the US. For Tether’s USDT, the biggest issue is therefore whether…

Adam Back-led BSTR’s plan to become a public Bitcoin treasury company through Cantor Equity Partners I, a special-purpose acquisition company, ended on Aug. 20. The collapse leaves a $15 million cash obligation with two fixed deadlines.Under the executed termination agreement, BSTR Holdings (Cayman) must pay Cantor Equity Partners I. The entity, defined in the contract as the Seller, can request Blockstream Capital Partners to make the payment instead, in which case Blockstream Capital Partners must pay.The first $10 million must be paid on or before Sept. 19, and the remaining $5 million on or before Dec. 1.A delay of more…

Illuvium co-founder and CEO Kieran Warwick said Aug. 21 that six months of cost reductions and a further wage cut had restored more than 12 months of operating runway for the web3 gaming studio.Warwick said the remaining workforce is now almost entirely focused on an MMO and that most team members have been with Illuvium for more than three years. He did not disclose the studio’s current cash balance or monthly burn.Illuvium last published a monthly burn figure in December 2024, putting the cost at about $900,000 after its administrators stopped taking salaries and cut overall wages by another $85,000.…

Ethereum’s better.codes contest now measures a cryptographic proof gap that researchers can attack from both sides.At 15:44:47 UTC on Aug. 21, the live leaderboard showed a 63.99-bit lower certificate and a 116.13-bit upper certificate for koalaIRS12. The two results left 52.14 bits unresolved after nine promoted submissions from seven solvers.KoalaIRS12 is a fixed parameter profile for an interleaved Reed–Solomon reduction used in proof-system research. The challenge repository defines its score as a spot-check quantity and expressly excludes interpreting it as minus-log2 of whole-system soundness or as full-protocol security.Researchers now have a public, reproducible measure of the distance between what the…
