Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto market took a turn for the worse over the weekend in price drops that have largely been blamed on Trump’s promised tariffs. I overheard a handful of X Spaces hosts sound the alarms about it on Monday, acting as though the bull market was over. But now that it’s Tuesday, things are already recovering. Tariffs on Mexico and Canada have been delayed, allowing bitcoin and some other cryptos to partially recover. As often happens, gaming tokens were harder hit. Immutable’s IMX token fell 14% from Sunday to Monday. Since then, it’s recouped a…

Logan Paul’s lawsuit against YouTuber Coffeezilla is moving forward after a U.S. magistrate judge denied the crypto sleuth’s request to dismiss Paul’s claims with prejudice. Counsel for Coffeezilla, whose real name is Stephen Findeisen, filed a motion to dismiss the claims in February on behalf of Findeisen and Coffee Break Productions LLC, claiming that the alleged libelous statements were not capable of defaming Paul. Texas magistrate judge Henry J. Bemporad disagreed, noting that Findeisen’s use of the word “scam” met the defamatory definition while adding that his role as a crypto investigator would lead an “objectively reasonable reader” to understand…

Switzerland’s economy is showing early signs of complete digitalization, as digital transactions have now surpassed cash payments, according to a new survey. Switzerland has long favored cash, with the average person holding around $10,481 in bills and coins. It’s been a cultural norm, valued for privacy and ease. But a new survey from the Swiss National Bank appears to show that debit cards have now edged out cash as the most common way to pay. The survey found that in 2024, 35% of in-store purchases in Switzerland were made with debit cards, overtaking cash, which made up 30%. That’s a…

The Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin is the worst-performing token in the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap this week, according to CoinGecko—touching the lowest price seen since just hours after the coin first launched. TRUMP’s 37% weekly plunge comes as the ebbs and flows in the U.S. President’s trade war cause significant swings across the crypto market, though no major coin has been hit as hard as this one over the last week. On Friday, President Trump announced that he intended to impose tariffs of up to 25% on Canada and Mexico, along with a 10% trade tariff on…

When SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce released her statement on February 21, 2025, titled “There Must Be Some Way Out of Here,” it didn’t read like a typical piece of regulatory commentary. The title, a nod to Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower,” set the tone: frustration, urgency, and maybe even a quiet plea for clarity. The SEC published a formal Request for Information — an open call for public input on how to determine whether crypto assets should be classified and regulated as securities. It was the first real invitation in years for the broader crypto ecosystem to help shape…
