Bitcoin’s trading session on May 26 was quiet as the Dow and all other U.S. indices closed to observe Memorial Day. Bitcoin (BTC) ended the U.S. trading session virtually where it began despite some intra-day swings. The leading cryptocurrency by market cap pushed above the $110,000 mark around midday, but the gains were erased by the afternoon. Trading volume was lower than usual, as one would expect during a U.S. holiday session. Still, the intraday range of around 1.6% from Bitcoin’s daily low of $108,706 to a high of $110,474 might indicate traders are stuck in a wait-and-see approach. The…

The U.S. Senate has never been closer to approving a major piece of crypto legislation as it mulls the stablecoin-regulation bill, but some Democrats are insisting that the final debate needs to address the accused conflicts of President Donald Trump. Proponents of the U.S. stablecoin legislation were hoping to cap off their effort in a single week, but debate will continue into a second week of floor action on the bill to set oversight of the dollar-based tokens at the heart of digital assets trading. Part of that debate will be a push from a prominent faction of Democrats, including…

But turning that vision into reality…
A trader who was convicted of manipulating Solana-based decentralized exchange Mango Markets to pinch $110 million in crypto had his conviction overturned on Friday. A jury last year convicted Avraham Eisenberg on counts of commodities fraud, commodities manipulation and wire fraud after he exploited the DeFi app, the sort that allows for the trading and lending of crypto assets without third-party intermediaries such as banks. Eisenberg exploited a feature in the decentralized exchange—or DEX—that allowed him to artificially pump his collateral to trick the protocol into allowing him to “borrow” $110 million in crypto. But a U.S. judge on Friday…

Convicted in 2023 on seven counts of fraud and conspiracy, Bankman-Fried received a 25-year sentence in March 2024 for orchestrating an $11 billion fraud. Prosecutors showed that he funneled customer funds from FTX into Alameda Research, his crypto hedge fund, using the money to prop up investments, make political donations, and enrich himself and close associates. After his sentencing, Bankman-Fried was transferred to a…
