Our dear Athena was quick to install its Chivo-branded contraptions-those curious Bitcoin ATMs-but alas! App imperfections allowed some 400,000 fraudulent accounts to partake of government largesse. The taxpayers, of course, are none too pleased.
In a tale as old as time (or at least as old as cryptocurrency), a hapless investor recently parted ways with $80,462 in tokens. The culprit? A malicious batch transaction, signed with the naivety of a child and the consequences of a Greek tragedy. 🎭
IG, ever the strategist, declares this “bolt-on deal” a masterstroke, complementing its organic forays into the UK and US markets. (Organic, you say? Like a free-range chicken in a factory farm? 🐔) The acquisition, they claim, is the culmination of an “extensive sector review”-a phrase so drearily corporate, it could only be redeemed by a well-placed eye roll. 🙄 Independent Reserve, hailed as one of Australia’s largest and fastest-growing regulated exchanges, shall now join the IG fold, presumably to add a dash of crypto-native panache to their otherwise staid portfolio. Adrian Przelozny, the exchange’s CEO, is no doubt toasting to his newfound corporate overlords, while IG’s Asia Pacific managing director, Matt Macklin, waxes poetic about the target’s “regulatory foundations and technology.” How thrilling! 📜💻

Let’s get this straight: the GOP’s crypto bill is being led by Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), and their squad. The “Responsible Financial Innovation Act of 2025” dropped a draft in September that made everyone go “Hmm, okay…” One idea? A joint committee with SEC, CFTC, and 14 random industry folks. Because nothing says “responsibility” like letting 14 strangers into the room. 🤷♀️
Ah, Brazil-land of samba, sun, and now, severely inconvenienced crypto criminals. The government, in its infinite wisdom, has sharpened the legal knives against Bitcoin laundering, demanding that brokers and tech firms join the fun-whether they like it or not. 🎭
