Kraken’s UK presence is a good example of how crypto regulation actually works in practice: not as one broad approval, but as a patchwork of registrations, permissions, services, and limits. The exchange operates in the UK through several FCA-regulated entities. Payward Limited is listed as a registered cryptoasset business for anti-money laundering purposes. Payward Services Limited holds an Electronic Money Institution license. Crypto Facilities Limited is FCA-authorized as an investment firm tied to derivatives activity. That is a serious regulatory footprint, but it needs precise language. This is not the same as saying Kraken has one sweeping UK “crypto custody…

Ripple has launched Ripple Mint, a platform that lets institutions mint, redeem, and manage Ripple USD (RLUSD) through one console. The company also invested in Notabene, a compliance firm, to add identity checks and transaction authorization to its stablecoin network. Standard Custody & Trust Company, a New York-chartered trust firm, issues RLUSD under state financial regulation. Jack McDonald, an executive at the company, called the Notabene deal a step toward globally compliant stablecoin transfers. “Bringing together $RLUSD, Ripple Payments & Notabene’s trusted institutional network to help scale compliant stablecoin payments,” McDonald said. What Ripple Mint Changes Ripple Mint replaces the…

Senate Republicans dropped the proposed text for the CLARITY Act on Wednesday. And almost immediately, Democrats came out swinging — hard — over the bill’s ethics provisions. The fight was pretty much instant. The CLARITY Act is meant to build a clear regulatory framework for digital assets, a space that’s been operating in a legal gray zone for years now. Crypto regulation has been a hot-button issue on Capitol Hill for a while, and this bill was supposed to be a step toward sorting out the mess. But the ethics provisions tucked inside the proposal drew sharp criticism from Democratic…

In brief Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon told Politico he is “very supportive of moving the Clarity Act forward.” His stance breaks with much of Wall Street, including JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon and a coalition of banking trade groups who want stronger language limiting stablecoin yield. The endorsement lands as Republicans circulate updated bill text preserving the market framework while adding contested ethics provisions, leaving the Clarity Act’s Senate path uncertain ahead of a hoped-for vote before the August recess. Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon has come out in favor of the Clarity Act, positioning one of Wall…

In brief Black Forest Labs has launched FLUX 3 in early access, its first model that generates video, producing clips up to 20 seconds long with synced audio. The same backbone powers FLUX-mimic, a robotics model built with mimic robotics that Audi is already testing on its production line. Only the open-weight “Dev” version is planned for later in 2026; Video and Action stay behind APIs and partner access for now, with Image following in the coming weeks. Black Forest Labs released FLUX 3 on Thursday, and for the first time, the company’s flagship model generates video instead of just…

Japan’s latest crypto law changes have revived the country’s spot Bitcoin ETF discussion, but the important part is the timeline. This is not an approval story today. It is a regulatory groundwork story, and that means investors need to be patient. The Japanese Cabinet submitted the Bill for Partially Amending the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and the Payment Services Act to the 221st session of the National Diet, moving crypto assets toward treatment as financial assets under the FIEA rather than only payment instruments under the Payment Services Act. That sounds technical, because it is. But it could matter…

BitMEX is facing a class action lawsuit accusing the crypto derivatives platform of fraudulently engineering customer liquidations to seize traders’ Bitcoin collateral. On Thursday, BKX Services Inc. and David Namdar filed the complaint in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs allege they lost a combined 622.66 BTC through forced liquidations on BitMEX, with BKX claiming losses of at least 305.81 BTC and Namdar alleging losses exceeding 316.85 BTC. The lawsuit revives long-running allegations about the platform’s internal trading operations and liquidation engine and comes just as the exchange is preparing to close in September. “BitMEX deliberately…

Toronto, Canada, July 23rd, 2026, Chainwire CoinRabbit and GoMining have published a report on Bitcoin mining profitability, showing why managing mined Bitcoin is becoming as important as producing it. The report highlights how the post-halving environment is redefining success in mining, with operators relying on stronger treasury management, capital discipline, and long-term asset strategies to navigate tighter margins. With the block reward reduced to 3.125 BTC and network difficulty near record levels, operational efficiency alone is no longer enough. The next phase of mining will be shaped by smarter capital allocation and long-term conviction in Bitcoin. The Four Pillars of…

Mutsamudu, Comoros, July 23, 2026 – MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, released a letter from CEO Vugar Usi reflecting on his first 100 days and outlining the company’s priorities for its next phase of growth.

They’re opportunity investors,”…
