Once a major player in the crypto space, Celsius promised high returns through its yield-bearing accounts — but prosecutors argued those returns were fueled by deception and mismanagement.

🔍 Big developments in crypto policy!

The UK Treasury has announced plans to collaborate with the United States to boost innovation in the cryptocurrency sector.

In a statement released on April 30, UK Finance Minister Rachel Reeves outlined the “Change Plan ”—a regulatory initiative aimed at creating new rules for crypto asset providers like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The goal? Strengthen investor confidence and fuel industry growth.

Reeves recently met with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Washington to discuss cross-border cooperation on digital asset regulation. They’re working closely through the UK-US Financial Regulatory Working Group, including exploring ideas from SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce.

This follows recent pro-crypto moves by the UK government, like revising the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 in January to ease restrictions on staking services—marking a clear shift toward fostering innovation.

💡 The message is clear: the UK wants to be "the best place for innovation in the world ."

🔐 BREAKING: U.S. Court Rules OFAC’s Sanctions on Tornado Cash Were Illegal

The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas has issued a final ruling in the long-standing legal battle over Tornado Cash, declaring that the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) acted unlawfully by sanctioning the privacy protocol.

In a win for privacy advocates and decentralized technology, the court has permanently prohibited OFAC from imposing sanctions on the Tornado Cash protocol itself — ending a two-year legal dispute.

📜 While OFAC removed Tornado Cash from its sanctions list earlier this year, the court noted its attempt to reserve the right to re-sanction in the future. Judge Robert Pitman ruled that such actions must comply with the precedent set by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

⚖️ Plaintiffs’ attorneys accused OFAC of trying to sidestep judicial review through procedural maneuvers — a move the court clearly rejected.

⚠️ Important note: This ruling applies only to the protocol, not to individuals. Developers Roman Storm and Roman Semenov remain under criminal indictment by the U.S. Department of Justice and are still listed on OFAC sanctions.

A landmark decision with major implications for crypto regulation, decentralization, and digital rights.

🚀 Breaking: Trump-Backed Stablecoin USD1 Hits $1.02B Market Cap Across Ethereum & BNB Chain!

The stablecoin USD1 from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the crypto project tied to the Trump family, has now surpassed $1.02 billion in total market value — with over $1B+ on BNB Chain alone!

On-chain data reveals three rapid minting events recently on BNB Chain, injecting hundreds of millions of USD1 into the network. Paired with existing supply on Ethereum, the token’s footprint is rapidly expanding.

Analysts suggest this surge could be part of a larger strategy to boost USD1’s adoption across DeFi protocols, cross-chain liquidity pools, and major trading platforms.

Is USD1 positioning itself as a major player in the stablecoin ecosystem? Time will tell — but the momentum is undeniable. 💸

🚨 Russia Moves to Criminalize Illegal Crypto Mining 🚨

Russia's financial watchdog is pushing for criminal charges against illegal cryptocurrency mining, linking it to money laundering risks.

A draft law—prepared with the Ministry of Finance and Central Bank—has already gained backing from key policy groups like the Civic Chamber.

🗣️ Deputy Director German Neglyad: "Crypto must not become a tool for illegal finance."

Also weighing in, Federation Council's Nikolai Zhuravlev stressed the importance of proactive legislation to protect the financial system. Meanwhile, Osman Kabaloev of the MoF confirmed plans to introduce both administrative fines and criminal liability to crack down on abuse of low-cost energy for mining and illicit fund transfers.

🔍 The message is clear: crypto innovation must go hand-in-hand with regulation.
