					  <![CDATA[ Minnesota has become the latest state to grant banks and credit unions the legal authority to offer cryptocurrency custody services, a move that proponents say ends years of regulatory ambiguity that kept institutions on the sidelines of a market now worth trillions.
Governor Tim Walz signed HF 3709 into law. The legislation takes effect August 1, 2026. The law permits state-chartered banks and credit unions to hold virtual currency and the cryptographic keys that control it on behalf of customers and members. 
Minnesota joins New York, Wyoming, and Virginia, which have established similar frameworks.
According to the law, institutions seeking to offer custody services must&#8230;

					  <![CDATA[ Once known for its Texas Hold&#8217;em games, the company is repositioning itself as a Hong Kong-listed bitcoin play through its push into Web3 gaming
image credit: Bamboo Works
Key Takeaways:
Boyaa Interactive said its first-quarter loss more than doubled year-on-year, mainly due to a decline in bitcoin prices
Excluding changes in the value of its bitcoin holdings, the company said its core profit for the quarter rose between 85% and 90%
Boyaa Interactive International Ltd. (0434.HK) has transformed over the last two years, increasingly seen as a &#8220;bitcoin concept stock&#8221; as it drifts from its original core gaming business. As its bitcoin holdings grow, the gaming veteran&#8217;s earnings have&#8230;

					  <![CDATA[ As I write this, Bitcoin is coming off of conceivably its worst week ever.
It started out with the January 31, 2026 release of batch number two of the Epstein files, which implicated none-too-few Bitcoiners and early stage Bitcoin companies (I wonder, will we still be talking about Epstein in 2036?).
The release now reads like a nasty omen. Because on Thursday of the same week, bitcoin suffered its fourth worst drawdown ever, a 21% bludgeoning that bled $16,000 from its price as it went from $76,000 to $60,000 in a single day. 
This was gnarly for bitcoin holders, of course, but it was gnarlier still for Bitcoin miners, who were already suffering under historically low revenue&#8230;

					  <![CDATA[ Tether International has acquired SoftBank’s entire stake in Twenty One Capital, the Bitcoin treasury company co-founded by Jack Mallers, consolidating control over one of the most prominent public Bitcoin vehicles to emerge in the past year.
The transaction, announced May 20, removes the last major outside ownership bloc from Twenty One’s founding three-party structure. SoftBank’s representatives on the company’s board stepped down at closing, per the terms of XXI’s shareholder agreement. No financial details of the deal were disclosed.
Twenty One Capital launched in April 2025 through a business combination with Cantor Equity Partners, with the three founding&#8230;

					  <![CDATA[ President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday directing the Federal Reserve and other financial regulators to tear down barriers that have long kept crypto and fintech firms on the outside of the U.S. payment system — a move that puts the central bank at the center of a fight that has been building for years.
The order, titled “Integrating Financial Technology Innovation into Regulatory Frameworks,” calls on the heads of federal financial agencies to audit existing rules within three months and identify regulations that “unduly impede” fintech firms from partnering with federally regulated institutions. 
Within six months, regulators must act on what they&#8230;

					  <![CDATA[ On Saturday, May 16, 2026, the world’s newest physical Bitcoin space opened in Nairobi, Kenya.
It’s called Node NBO (NBO is short for Nairobi), and it will serve as a co-working space for notable Bitcoin, freedom tech, compute, and energy companies and organizations in Africa, including Fedi, Gridless, and BTrust as well as the Human Rights Foundation (HRF).
A screenshot from the homepage of the Node NBO website.
The facility will also be home to three labs — an open-source energy lab, an open-source Bitcoin mining lab, and an AI compute lab. These labs will serve as places where teams can build, design, and assemble new products as well as strategize implementation.
And Node&#8230;

					  <![CDATA[ Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is down 6% since revisiting its 200-day moving average near $82,000 earlier this month, but K33 Research argues February’s $60,000 bottom still marks this cycle’s maximum drawdown.
Current Pattern Looks Different From 2014, 2018, 2022
K33 Head of Research Vetle Lunde pointed out that Bitcoin spent 189 days between the November 200-day MA breakdown and May retest—far longer than the 96, 132, and 85 days seen in prior cycles. 
Bitcoin also remains more than 20% down during that period compared to positive returns in 2014 and 2022 and a shallower 8% drawdown in 2018.
The 200-day moving average trended higher in prior years but lower in 2026, creating a fundamentally&#8230;

					  <![CDATA[ South Carolina has enacted a new law aimed at establishing a clear and supportive framework for cryptocurrency use, marking one of the most comprehensive state-level efforts to date.
Governor Henry McMaster signed Senate Bill 163 into law on May 19 after it passed the legislature with strong bipartisan support, clearing the Senate in a 38–1 vote and the House in a 110–1 vote. The measure amends the state’s legal code to define key digital asset activities while outlining protections for users, businesses, and infrastructure tied to the sector.
At the core of the legislation is a provision that affirms the right of individuals and businesses to use digital assets like&#8230;

The landmark U.S. cryptocurrency legislation establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework to define jurisdiction over digital assets between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission 
The bill still needs to clear the full Senate, reconcile three versions – Senate Banking, Senate Agriculture, and the House of Representatives version, before heading to the White House. Holiday&#8230;

Gold Council CEO: Bitcoin Doesn’t Offset Risk Assets
Tait explained on Tuesday that Bitcoin correlates with risk assets during crises instead of offsetting them as intended. 
He believes Bitcoin was meant to disassociate itself from risky assets but hasn’t delivered on that promise.
“I thought it was meant to be an offset, something that you could compensate for having exposure to risky assets,” Tait stated. “It didn’t really do that to that extent,” he added.
He also argued that investors should hold both gold and Bitcoin if they have&#8230;
