Parties Split at the Thursday Audit The same dispute filled the National Assembly’s Planning and Finance Committee audit of the finance ministry on Thursday. The tax was legislated through a 2020 revision of the Income Tax Act, has been postponed three times since, and under the present schedule takes effect in January next year. The government is still running the administrative procedures that date requires, while industry voices call the timetable premature. According to Coinreaders’ account of the hearing, the ruling Democratic Party urged fast enforcement and defended the January start. Representative Yoon Hu-deok told the ministry that the United…
Market Snapshot Currently, MEXC is not reporting any trading volumes, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding its operations. The exchange has previously attracted users with low fees and a variety of altcoins. However, the lack of regulatory compliance has raised concerns, leading to this operational halt. The broader crypto market continues to navigate through regulatory landscapes, which may be affecting trading volumes across exchanges. MEXC is a cryptocurrency exchange known for its vast catalog of altcoins and competitive trading fees. The lack of MiCA authorization in the EU means that MEXC is unable to operate legally in these jurisdictions, forcing it to…

The fund targets eligible professional investors outside the US, according to the Wall Street Journal, which reported a minimum investment of $100,000. The launch follows Nasdaq’s decision in April to expand licensing of its Nasdaq-100 Index to additional asset managers, including BlackRock and State Street, while maintaining its longstanding partnership with Invesco, which operates the $499 billion market cap Invesco QQQ Trust exchange-traded fund.

Duffy Calls Perps Swaps CME Group CEO Terry Duffy has called crypto perpetual futures swaps rather than futures, a label that would move the products under the tighter rulebook regulators wrote for the swaps market after 2008. The statement came in an interview published after the exchange posted record third-quarter revenue, and it lands in the middle of an active court fight: CME is suing the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to win that very classification. Perpetual futures, known in the industry as perps, are contracts with no expiry date, so a trader can hold a leveraged position indefinitely. Their…
NinjaTrader Clearing, Payward’s registered futures commission merchant, would manage customer accounts. The proposed offering remains subject to regulatory approval. The announcement briefly pushed Hyperliquid’s native token $HYPE above $80 before it retreated to approximately $79.65 at press time.

HIP-3*…
“Now that this tranche is closed, we’re at roughly 13.85 EH/s. That puts us among the largest publicly listed miners in the world, roughly 195 Bitcoin a month,” Chahine said. “That’s real revenue, and it supports everything else we’re building. This year we reviewed every single piece of NIP Group, not just mining. We made decisions with one goal: better margins and a clear path to profitability. Mining had to earn its place in that review, and it did.” It comes after the esports team expanded its Bitcoin operation last year as it looked to mine 160 Bitcoin a month.…

Bitcoin price strength on shorter horizons has not repaired the daily bias The last completed daily candle closed at $80,154.09, below the daily pivot at $80,344.55. Live trading is now above that pivot, but an open candle cannot confirm a daily reclaim. That distinction keeps the main scenario neutral rather than bullish. The hourly picture offers a counterweight. Its last completed candle closed at $80,411.37, while the live hourly price is $80,744.00. The 15-minute snapshot trades at $80,728.00, above all three of its tracked EMAs. This is a genuine disagreement between horizons: execution-level strength is challenging, rather than confirming, the…
