FBI dismantles decade-long insider trading ring, charges 30 in scheme spanning multiple countries
Federal authorities just pulled the curtain back on one of the most elaborate insider trading operations in recent memory.

Bitcoin traded at $67,625 on March 30, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time, rebounding within a $65,112 to $67,777 range after U.S. President Donald Trump signaled potential negotiations with a “new regime” in Iran while threatening energy infrastructure if talks fail.

Bitcoin Chart Outlook The daily bitcoin chart continues to reflect a market stuck between recovery and fatigue, with $BTC hovering in a broader $65,000 to $70,000 band following rejection near the $76,000 region.

Hester Peirce’s recent remarks strongly imply that the SEC is getting ready for a much more open approach toward financial innovation than the market has seen in years, even though the agency has not yet formally unveiled a dedicated prediction market framework.

This statement is significant because it indirectly…
