On paper, South Korea has been one of the world’s loudest crypto markets for years. In practice, it has been a strangely narrow one. If you were a regular person, you could trade on the big won exchanges. If you were a company with cash on the balance sheet, you mostly sat on your hands. That is finally starting to change. This week, Seoul Economic Daily reported that the Financial Services Commission shared a draft set of “listed company virtual asset trading guidelines” with an industry-government task force on Jan. 6. Regulators are aiming to publish a final version in…

TL;DR A single miner successfully mined an entire Bitcoin block, earning about $295,000, or 3.16 BTC. Such solo wins are rare due to the dominance of large mining pools that share rewards among many participants. The payout included both the block subsidy and transaction fees, showing that independent miners can still capture meaningful rewards despite industrial mining operations dominating the network. A rare solo mining success has occurred on the Bitcoin network as an independent miner claimed the full reward from a newly mined block. The event demonstrates that individual miners can occasionally achieve rewards typically captured by large pools.…

As 2025 draws to a close, Bitcoin and altcoins are attracting attention with their weak performance. While Bitcoin is expected to finish the year below $100,000, Coinshares has released its weekly cryptocurrency report, stating that there was an inflow of $864 million last week. “There was a total inflow of $864 million into cryptocurrency investment products. This marks the third week of generally modest inflows, and we believe this reflects a cautious but increasingly optimistic investor base.” Despite the Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate cut, price performance remained sluggish, and mixed sentiment and erratic flows were observed in the trading…

Mike Selig just landed in his chairman post at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission a few weeks ago, and he’s now reconfiguring the agency with a rebuilt innovation committee that will start with a core of crypto insiders, according to a Monday statement. His temporary predecessor, former Acting Chairman Caroline Pham, had quickly put together a group of chief executive officers focused on innovative financial technology in her final days at the agency, and Selig — just a month after that council was announced — is using that list of names as “charter members” of the Innovation Advisory Committee.…
