TeraWulf shares have dropped more than 7% after New York ordered a one-year pause on new environmental permits for large-scale data centers. According to an executive order signed by New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Tuesday, the state will temporarily stop issuing new environmental permits for certain large data center projects while regulators prepare a statewide framework to assess their environmental impact. The order gives the Department of Public Service up to one year to complete a Generic Environmental Impact Statement, which will establish standards for future data center developments. The governor’s office said the review will examine electricity demand,…

UNUS SED ($LEO) has quietly secured its place among the world’s largest cryptocurrencies with a market capitalization of nearly $9 billion. This makes it the 11th-largest crypto asset. Yet, unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, or XRP, $LEO rarely trends on social media or dominates headlines. Its quiet presence comes down to its unique purpose. Specifically, it was built as a utility token for the iFinex ecosystem, not as a retail-focused investment asset. Created to Solve an $850 Million Crisis $LEO was launched in 2019 after iFinex, the parent company of Bitfinex and closely associated with Tether, lost access to approximately $850…

The Indian government has taken a major step toward bringing more transparency to the reporting of digital asset transactions. As global countries have already implemented the OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), India has also introduced new crypto reporting guidelines for exchanges and other platforms. Under the CARF, these platforms are required to report transactions to the Income Tax Department. It is important to note that the latest crypto reporting guidelines do not include new tax policies. Instead, it is designed to improve tax transparency, in line with the OECD’s CARF. Via this global tax information system, India intends to report…

Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has seen its mobile application removed from the Google Play Store in certain European regions. The development, first reported by Cointelegraph, stems from the exchange’s inability to secure a license under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulatory framework. What Triggered the Removal? The delisting follows Binance’s withdrawal of its MiCA license application in Greece in late June. Under MiCA rules, crypto asset service providers must be licensed in at least one EU member state to operate across the bloc. Without an approved application, Binance cannot legally offer its services to…

Canary Capital renewed its marketing push for the Canary $HBAR ETF on July 30, describing HBR as the first U.S. spot exchange-traded product holding Hedera’s native token. The post was not a new launch announcement. HBR began trading on Nasdaq on Oct. 28, 2025, after its registration became effective with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The product had 5.18 million shares outstanding and charged a 0.95% sponsor fee. 🐤 Enterprise crypto…

U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres denied KalshiEX’s request for an emergency injunction pending appeal on July 27 in KalshiEX LLC v. Williams. The Southern District of New York also rejected Kalshi’s alternative request for short-term administrative relief. The three-page order does not dismiss Kalshi’s appeal or resolve the underlying lawsuit. It only denies protection from New York enforcement while the appellate dispute continues. Kalshi appealed after Torres denied its preliminary-injunction motion on July 7. That earlier ruling found that the Commodity Exchange Act likely does not preempt New York gambling laws as applied to Kalshi’s sports-event contracts. The appeal was…

Forty-eight hours can be a long time when traders are holding a position tied to a few of the world’s most actively traded markets, and there’s…
