A $30 million plan to buy a presidential pardon for Roger Ver, a.k.a Bitcoin Jesus, charged with tax evasion, collapsed earlier this year before it even made it past the planning stage, according to Bloomberg. The effort was led by two self-styled operatives: Matt Argall, a supplement salesman from Florida who now calls himself “Lord Argall,” and Brock Pierce, a child actor-turned-crypto figure. The scheme took shape during a lobster dinner in Puerto Rico, where Argall and Pierce agreed they could sell Roger a path to clemency. Trump had just won his second term, and they assumed Roger, known as…
Singapore’s largest bank is extending its blockchain strategy by offering tokenized structured notes on the Ethereum public blockchain, in a move that broadens access to complex financial products once reserved for its private clients.

As a result, the gateway opens pathways for asset movement and liquidity provision, potentially drawing…

Ether (ETH) has climbed 5% in the past 24 hours to $4,470, its highest price since December 2021. Helping the bullish action in crypto in general was Tuesday morning’s Consumer Price Index report. While the data was mixed and inflation remains above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, market participants lifted bets on the U.S. central bank trimming interest rates at its next meeting in September. Boosting ether in particular was a new massive leg higher in the growing corporate treasury strategy movement. Already the owner of roughly $5 billion in ETH, Tom Lee’s Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) disclosed plans to…
