The existing order books, like yesterday’s news, were swept aside, and traffic was herded into the new exchange stack. A changelog, that most prosaic of documents, proclaimed the arrival of “new Exchange contracts, a rewritten CLOB backend, and a new collateral token (Polymarket USD, or pUSD),” with a stern warning: no backward compatibility for the relics of the past.

Tether’s MDK is billed as an “infrastructure layer” for Bitcoin mining, a single software stack to rule them all-rigs, power systems, monitoring tools, you name it. From hobbyist setups to industrial behemoths, it’s like giving every miner a personal Igor, but without the questionable stitching.

GLXY) swung to a Q1 2026 net loss of $216 million, as a roughly 20% decline in digital asset prices during the quarter pulled the crypto-focused financial services firm into the red despite growing fee and infrastructure revenue.

With a staff reduced to 543 souls-a mere shadow of its 708-strong former self-the CFTC dares to claim AI as its savior.

A noble aim, really, like asking your tailor if that dress actually suits you rather than just looking fabulous while you stand in front of a mirror you’ve borrowed from a department store.

A U.S. federal court has sentenced a Saipan-based woman to nearly six years in prison for orchestrating a bitcoin-related fraud scheme.

The case adds to a growing pattern of crypto-linked scams involving trust-based manipulation. Spoiler: It’s not the first time someone’s used friendship as a loophole in the financial system.
