A federal judge in Honolulu has dismissed a Trump administration lawsuit that sought to prevent Hawaii from pursuing climate change litigation against major fossil fuel companies in state court. U.S. District Judge Helen Gillmor cited a longstanding legal principle against federal interference in state judicial proceedings as the basis for her ruling.This decision marks the second federal court rebuke in 2026 of the Justice Department's strategy to suppress state-level climate lawsuits. Earlier in January, a separate federal judge rejected a similar DOJ attempt to block Michigan from filing its own climate suit against leading oil companies.The Justice Department originally filed lawsuits against both Hawaii and Michigan in April 2025, arguing that allowing these states to sue major energy producers would threaten domestic energy output. Just one day after that federal action, Hawaii moved forward anyway, filing suit against fossil fuel giants including BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Shell. The state alleged these corporations knowingly sold products that contributed to global warming despite being aware of the environmental consequences.Judge Gillmor determined that the Justice Department failed to establish legal standing to bring the case. In her written opinion, she noted that the DOJ's attempt to forecast the outcome of a lawsuit that had not yet been fully litigated — and speculate on how it might harm the federal government — did not constitute a concrete, legally recognized injury. Without that threshold requirement met, the case could not move forward.Neither the Justice Department nor Hawaii's Attorney General office released public statements following the ruling. The outcome reinforces the legal authority of states to hold fossil fuel companies accountable through their own court systems, a right federal courts have now twice confirmed cannot be

South Korea to test blockchain deposit tokens for government spending in Q4
South Korea’s Ministry of Economy and Finance will begin testing blockchain-based deposit tokens for government spending in the fourth quarter as part of a broader push to modernize how public funds are managed.
The ministry said the pilot to spend Treasury funds as digital currency was approved under a 2026 regulatory sandbox program, local media reported.
The approval allows business promotion expenses, currently processed with government purchasing cards, to be paid using tokenized deposits.

The change alters a long-standing system governed by the Treasury Funds Management Act, which required card-based payments. In the sandbox environment, agencies will be able to operate outside those rules on a limited basis to test new methods.

US President Donald Trump said in a press huddle that he gets "no credit" for taking a $0 salary each year. He went ahead saying that he let go of millions of dollars by "waiving" his presidential salary. Trump claimed that he's the only President to have done so, and no others waived their salaries despite being well-off and wealthy while holding the highest office of the land."I waived it. I'm the only president that ever waived it," said Trump. "We've had wealthy presidents before. In the history of our country, there's never been a president that waved his salary. I'm the only schmuck. I get no credit for it," he said. He made sure to emphasize that the salary is not a small amount, but a significant one. "It's still a couple of million bucks. It's not peanuts. "The salary of a US President is $400,000 a year, which eventually adds up to $1.6 million for a term of four years. Joe Biden's salary during the previous term was $1.6 million. Barack Obama, who served for eight years, earned $3.2 million during his time in office. Social media platforms quickly erupted with Trump supporters exclaiming, "Our President works for free.

Kennedy and Herbert Hoover worked for free as presidents indirectly. Both the leaders donated their entire salaries to charity, as they were among the wealthiest to serve in the White House.

Also, leading economist and gold proponent Peter Schiff said that Trump is making more money as President by taking a $0 salary." Trump has made billions exploiting his power as president. Why would he need a salary? That's peanuts," said Schiff. "He gives up his tiny salary as a publicity stunt to create the false impression that he's not in

Adam Back Pushes for Optional Upgrades to Quantum-Proof Bitcoin

The Blockstream CEO’s approach contrasts with BIP-361, a proposal that would implement mandatory freezes of quantum-vulnerable Bitcoin.

Blockstream CEO Adam Back advocated for optional quantum-resistant Bitcoin upgrades at Paris Blockchain Week on Wednesday, a day after a group of Bitcoin developers pushed for a mandatory freeze on quantum-vulnerable Bitcoin.

"Preparation is key. Making changes in a controlled way is far safer than reacting in a crisis," Back said at the conference. He also emphasized Bitcoin's proven emergency coordination capabilities, noting that "bugs have been identified and fixed within hours. When something becomes urgent, it focuses attention and drives consensus."

His approach contrasts with that of BIP-361, a proposal authored by Jameson Lopp and five other developers that would phase out quantum-vulnerable addresses over five years. The proposal, updated in Bitcoin's official repository on April 15 under the title "Post Quantum Migration and Legacy Signature Sunset," would implement a phased soft fork ultimately freezing coins that do not migrate—including the holdings of Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

The intervention highlights a deepening split among Bitcoin developers around how to address the looming threat of “Q-Day”—the moment when a quantum computer with sufficient power to break the encryption used by Bitcoin emerges. Recent research from Google and Caltech suggests quantum computers capable of breaking the cryptocurrency's security may arrive within years rather than decades.

The debate has been sharpened by accelerating progress in quantum computing. Google Quantum AI published research last month showing that quantum computers may break elliptic curve cryptography with fewer than 1,200 logical qubits.

Bitdeer hits 70 EH/s in self-mining bitcoin operations, claims top spot by compute Bitdeer's total hashrate under management grew to 78.1 EH/s, including its massive self-mining fleet and hosted machines, as of the end of March.

CleanSpark, often ranked among the largest miners by compute, reported an operational hashrate of about 50 EH/s in its latest operations filing on Wednesday.

Bitdeer (NASDAQ: BTDR) produced 661 self-mined bitcoins in March 2026, up 480% from the same month last year, according to its latest operations update. The firm has been ramping up its bitcoin mining business to become a dominant player in the ecosystem.

According to its filing on Wednesday, Bitdeer now commands about 225,000 self-owned rigs, out of the 262,000 it has under management. It is also scaling up to 3.0 gigawatts in global energy capacity, including the operations in the pipeline.

In total, Bitdeer said its self-mining bitcoin operations scaled to about 70 exahashes per second (EH/s), an 504% increase year over year, once again making it the largest miner by computer power. This is a title Bitdeer claimed at the end of last year, when it reported "total hash rate under management" of 71 EH/s, including, at the time, a self-mining hashrate of 55.2 EH/s.

The crypto bill passage remains under pressure as the end of April deadline nears.



The much-anticipated crypto market-structure bill, the CLARITY Act, has until the end of April to clear a key Senate hurdle. 

If the Senate Banking Committee fails to hold the bill’s markup by the end of the month, the expected broader floor vote in May will likely be affected as well. Sounding the alarm on the strict timeline, U.S. President Donald Trump’s crypto advisor, Patrick Witt, warned,
