Gold moves on a Trump tweet. Oil spikes on a geopolitical rumor. Equities swing on a single Fed headline. “Everything has kind of become a meme at this point,” Usi said in an interview with CoinDesk. “Meme coins were driven by social sentiment, virality, speculation,” he continued, adding that today one of “President Trump’s tweets does all these three.” That thesis underpins his plan to reposition…

South Korea’s financial regulators have ordered all domestic crypto exchanges to adopt a single, strict system for delaying withdrawals, aiming to block a surge in voice phishing scams that rely on speed. The Financial Services Commission and Financial Supervisory Service announced the new rules, removing the discretion exchanges once had to let users bypass holding periods, local news outlets report. In the past, platforms set their own exceptions to keep trading fast. Fraud groups learned those rules and coached victims to slip through them.
