US sanctions DPRK IT facilitators over crypto transactions in $800 million scheme The U.S. Treasury said it sanctioned six individuals and two entities for facilitating DPRK IT worker schemes that generated nearly $800 million in 2024 to fund the regime's weapons programs.

The designations include facilitators who enabled cryptocurrency transactions or converted funds into crypto, including about $2.5 million converted between mid-2023 and mid-2025. The Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has sanctioned six individuals and two entities for their roles in facilitating North Korean IT worker schemes, which generated nearly $800 million in 2024 for the regime's weapons of mass destruction programs.

The action targets operatives based in North Korea, Vietnam, Laos and Spain who enabled fraudulent remote employment at U.S. companies and subsequent money laundering through cryptocurrency, according to the Treasury's Thursday statement.

On Thursday, the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) published a new report regarding the ongoing discussion in the US Congress about the Bitcoin de minimis tax exemption. This comes amidst Coinbase’s battle against accusations related to the issue that surfaced earlier this week.

Concerns Over Future Of Bitcoin Tax Legislation
The BPI has brought attention to the efforts of pro-cryptocurrency Senator Cynthia Lummis, who is seeking to incorporate a $300 de minimis provision into the reconciliation package referred to as the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

Despite hopes for inclusion, the legislation was signed into law on July 4 without any provisions addressing crypto taxes. Shortly thereafter, Lummis introduced a standalone bill that proposes a $300 transaction threshold along with a $5,000 annual cap.

Her proposal also seeks to tackle longstanding concerns such as double taxation for miners and stakers, the wash sale rules, and other pertinent issues. The Joint Committee on Taxation has deemed the bill “revenue-positive,” predicting it could generate approximately $600 million over a decade.

Furthermore, during a Senate hearing on February 5, 2026, Treasury Secretary Bessent expressed a willingness for his Office of Tax Policy to collaborate directly with Lummis’ team on guidance related to the bill.

The House Ways and Means Committee held hearings regarding digital asset tax policy on July 16, 2025, and is expected to soon release relevant legislative text.

However, with the midterm elections approaching, the BPI believes Congress is likely to become increasingly focused on electoral dynamics, thus squeezing the capacity for complex tax legislation.

Senator Lummis will depart the Senate in January 2027, raising concerns that if a legislative package does not materialize soon, the opportunity for its implementation might not arise for years. The BPI concluded:

ROBO: Secure & Open Future for AI and Robotics

Metaplanet is widening its Bitcoin strategy beyond treasury accumulation, setting up two wholly owned subsidiaries aimed at building out the financial rails it believes Japan will need as institutional adoption of BTC deepens. The move pairs a domestic infrastructure push with a new cross-border capital markets platform, giving the Tokyo-listed company a broader claim on what it sees as Bitcoin’s next growth market.

Metaplanet Deepens Bitcoin Play
In a post on X early Thursday, CEO Simon Gerovich said the company’s board had approved the creation of Metaplanet Ventures and Metaplanet Asset Management. The first will focus on Japan’s domestic ecosystem. The second, based in Miami, is designed as a digital credit and Bitcoin capital markets business linking Asian and Western markets across “yield, equity, credit, and volatility strategies.”

The more immediate signal came from Metaplanet Ventures. Gerovich said the subsidiary will invest ¥4 billion over the next few years into firms building Bitcoin financial infrastructure in Japan, spanning “lending, payments, custody,stablecoins, derivatives, compliance.” He added that the company is also launching an incubator for early-stage founders and a grants program for open-source developers, educators and researchers.

Gerovich framed the bet as a wager that regulation is no longer Japan’s bottleneck. “Japan has built the best regulatory framework in the world for digital assets. Now it needs the companies, the builders, and the infrastructure to match. We want to help make that happen,” he wrote. That positioning matters. Rather than pitching the market as one still waiting for legal clarity, Metaplanet is arguing that the rules are already in place and the missing piece is execution at scale.

Its first allocation reflects that thesis. Gerovich said Metaplanet Ventures plans to invest up to ¥400 million in JPYC, which he de

Ethereum (ETH) founder Vitali Buterin reveals details of his SHIB donation! His $500 million profit is astonishing!

Ethereum ($ETH) founder Vitali Buterin, who gained attention for donating altcoins sent to him as gifts, recently spoke about the $SHIB tokens he donated.

Accordingly, Vitalik Buterin shared a tweet about the donations he has made over the past five years. These donations include numerous popular memecoins, including $SHIB.

In 2021, Buterin shared details of a donation, stating that he had donated the SHIBs that the mysterious Shiba Inu founder, Ryoshi, had sent him.

Buterin stated that in 2021 he donated some of these SHIBs to an organization called the Future of Life Institute (FLI), but added that he no longer shares the same views as that organization.

In a statement from his X account, Buterin said that his $500 million donation to FLI in 2021 was used for political advocacy, deviating from the initially proposed technical roadmap.

“In 2021, I bought a large amount of $SHIB and other Dogecoins because the creators used the phrase “we own half of our Vitalik supply” as a marketing tactic and wanted to be “the next Dogecoin.”

I felt that this was definitely a bubble, that it would burst quickly and the price would drop drastically, so I sold as much as I could in $ETH and donated it. I sent half to Crypto Relief and the other half to FLI.

…However, the situation has changed significantly since 2021, and its political aspects have emerged….”

Buterin stated that he had initially thought his $SHIB donation to FLI would generate a profit of around $10-25 million, but they had managed to achieve a profit of approximately $500 million.

There are often posts mentioning that I donated a very large amount of funds to @FLI_org years ago and connecting me to various policy actions that they take. I thought I would make clear the record both on

Bitcoin rises to one-month high of $73,800, continuing to outperform since start of Iran war



Bitcoin $BTC$71,859.13 is adding to overnight gains in early U.S. trading on Friday, continuing to show strong relative price action after many months of underperformance to assets like stocks and precious metals.

Trading at $73,800, bitcoin is higher by nearly 5% over the past 24 hours, with most of those gains coming after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday evening said the Trump administration is taking concrete steps to try and cap surging oil prices.

Bitcoin is now higher by about 11% since the Iran war broke out, outperforming broad U.S. stock indices and gold, both of which have lost ground since the bombs began dropping about two weeks ago.

WTI oil on Friday is trading at $94.50 per barrel, down from a high of nearly $98 on Thursday. U.S. stocks are posting gains of about 0.5%.

Oil raises stagflationary risk

The recent spike in oil prices is putting direct pressure on household budgets and, if sustained, could weaken consumer spending and slow economic growth, according to Olu Sonola, head of US economics at Fitch Ratings.

"Yes, the broader economy is still expected to grow at trend, but that forecast increasingly looks fragile as downside risks accumulate. ... The Fed can shrug off pockets of weakening growth, but resurgent inflation severely limits its room to maneuver, leaving policy potentially stranded for months," he wrote in a note.

Relief bounce

After a period of some of the worst sentiment in bitcoin's history, it's perhaps not too surprising that there's been some modest gains of late.

Funding positioning of perpetual futures traders has been negative for the longest period since late 2022, K33 Research analyst Vetle Lunde noted. This means traders who are shorting bitcoin are paying lo
