South Korean actor Hwang Jung-eum has been edited out of the final episode of SBS Plus’s reality show ‘Because I’m Single,’ following her courtroom admission that she embezzled $3.1 million (₩4.34 billion) from her own company to invest in crypto. “Hwang Jung-eum’s VCR segments will not appear in today’s final episode, which airs at 8:30 p.m.,” the production team said Tuesday as per local media reports. “Her comments as an MC will also be minimized.” The decision comes after Hwang testified last Thursday at the Jeju District Court, admitting to misappropriating approximately $3 million (₩4.2 billion) from a family-run agency…
Crypto markets saw 9.9% gains in April, led by Bitcoin, as tariff pauses boosted sentiment. Bitcoin (BTC) strengthened its dominance even as crypto markets are recovering. On Tuesday, May 6, Binance Research released a report on the state of the crypto markets in April.

Nebraska lawmakers have just passed Legislative Bill 526 (LB526), and while not explicitly anti-Bitcoin, its effects may be anything but neutral. With a unanimous 49-0 vote, the Legislature sent the bill to Governor Jim Pillen’s desk, where it’s expected to be signed into law. Supporters call it a commonsense infrastructure bill. Bitcoin miners call it a slow-motion exodus in the making. On paper, LB526 is about large energy users. But in practice, it singles out Bitcoin mining facilities with one megawatt (MW) or greater loads and layers on operational constraints that look more like punishment than policy. Cost Shifting, Public…

Bitcoin is currently trading below the point of control after rejecting from a key dynamic resistance. The lower timeframe trend remains bearish, and its potential to influence higher timeframes is something traders should be mindful of moving forward. Following a rejection from the local high, Bitcoin (BTC) has returned to a key trading range, where price is now consolidating beneath the point of control (POC). This move aligns with the development of a swing failure pattern and the activation of a bearish harmonic structure, both of which contributed to the ongoing retracement. While this pullback hasn’t triggered a high-timeframe breakdown…
