At least one Southeast Asian country has shown interest, people familiar with the matter said. The push would allow Beijing to strengthen its role as a bullion hub and reduce reliance on Western financial centers. Custodian services are a key part of that infrastructure, helping to attract more…

Since the game is currently running on testnet, players will not need to migrate any assets. CCP Games told Decrypt that the move doesn’t change the game’s roadmap; rather, it enables…

The U.S. is staring at an 83% chance of a government shutdown, according to analyst Crypto Rover’s post on X, as funding deadlines expire September 30. Each week without a deal could shave $7 billion off the economy, disrupt federal pay, and delay critical services while markets absorb fresh uncertainty over Fed policy. That elevated risk, flagged in Rover’s post and echoed in broader forecasting models, reflects a Congress deadlocked on appropriations. This isn’t just a payroll issue. A prolonged shutdown would test U.S. credibility, strain market confidence, and potentially derail economic data releases that guide monetary policy. 💥BREAKING:US GOVERNMENT…
