His upcoming trial in May now serves as a key test of whether the DOJ’s new approach will shield executives from past alleged wrongdoing.

Roughly 10 weeks ago, CoinDesk discussed a double top bearish reversal pattern in bitcoin (BTC), warning of a sell-off to $75,000 in a move typical of a bull-market pull back.

Besides, the Australian dollar (AUD), a commodity currency particularly vulnerable to Trump-led global trade tensions, is offering hope to crypto bulls. The…

In a detailed post on his Telegram channel, Durov denied the allegations, which he called “blatant misinformation,” and claimed Telegram had been complying with EU law long before the incident. The claims were sparked by a recent French report that suggested Durov’s detention had “finally” led Telegram to comply with the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA). “This is wrong,” Durov wrote, adding: “Telegram has always been compliant…
