As a result, the firm’s cryptocurrency portfolio has grown by roughly 62.11% over the past three months.

Three were authorized by the HCMC between June 30 and August 7, 2026, while Piraeus Bank was authorized by the Bank of Greece. The approvals only surfaced in ESMA’s European-wide register on September 24 — a gap of roughly seven to twelve weeks between national authorization and EU-level listing, consistent with delays seen in other countries’ entries. The timing is notable partly because of who is missing from the list. Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume, had…

BitMEX shutdown reaches its final stage BitMEX will formally end exchange operations at 04:00 UTC on Sep. 23, equivalent to 9:30 a.m. in India. Any positions still open at that time will be closed by the system using the relevant settlement price or index under the exchange’s standard procedures.

Risk limits introduced on Aug. 26 prevented users from opening new positions while allowing them to reduce existing exposure. During July and August, the exchange began removing markets with limited trading activity. BitMEX…

Securitize brings real scale to that equation. The company manages over $4 billion in tokenized assets as of mid-2026, and its client list includes some of the biggest names in asset management. Securitize has tokenized funds for BlackRock and Apollo, converting traditional investment products into blockchain-based tokens that institutions can move and settle onchain. That track record gives the partnership weight: this isn’t a startup experimenting with digital dollars, but a platform already trusted by major financial firms to handle real assets. Securitize also integrates with more than 18 blockchain networks, which means it isn’t locked into any single chain…

A negative CMF indicates that more capital is leaving the asset than entering it, supporting the loss of short-term momentum. The pullback also turned the former $79,500 support area into resistance, according to analyst Crypto with Haris B. The analyst said the $78,000 level was showing signs of weakness and identified $76,000 as the next local target if that floor fails. Daily trend remains bullish above key moving averages Despite the short-term decline, Bitcoin continued to trade above…

To be clear, the US government hasn’t defaulted on any sovereign bond issuance since 1933, aside from a $122 million technicality delay in 1979. The largest government in the world guarantees principal repayment of US Treasuries, and ZROZ tracks an index of the present value of those repayments. Still, all buyers of the ETF at any time since its inception in 2009 have lost money, excluding dividends. Even after adjusting for the small quantity of dividends that the ETF has paid, an investor would have had to have bought prior to September 2011 to have made any money. At time…

Hoskinson questioned the suggestion that the AI system had arrived at the result entirely independently. “OpenAI says that they totally independently came up with this,” Hoskinson said, while arguing that the available evidence could warrant closer examination. He suggested that when an AI system is confronted with an unusually difficult mathematical problem, it may search through information available to it rather than necessarily developing a completely independent approach. Hoskinson characterized AI models as optimization systems that attempt to find an efficient route toward a solution. In the scenario he described, material previously provided through ChatGPT conversations could potentially become relevant…
