Appeals Court Rejects Sam Bankman-Fried Bid For New FTX Trial

A federal appeals court has rejected Sam Bankman-Fried's bid for a new trial, upholding his convictions in the FTX fraud case. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals denied defense claims of an unfair trial, sharply narrowing his legal options. His team could still petition the US Supreme Court. The ruling reinforces the legal precedent from one of crypto's most consequential cases, keeping focus on FTX's collapse, customer losses, and ongoing bankruptcy proceedings. For the market, the decision underscores the lasting impact of FTX on regulatory debates concerning exchange oversight, custody rules, and asset segregation as the industry works to rebuild trust.

DOJ rejects Roman Storm defense, says Supreme Court precedent does not apply to Tornado Cash case

U.S. prosecutors have rejected Roman Storm's defense argument that a recent Supreme Court ruling (Cox Communications v. Sony Music) should dismiss criminal charges against him related to Tornado Cash. Storm’s legal team argued that providing a neutral tool with legitimate uses does not establish criminal intent, even with knowledge of potential misuse. The Department of Justice countered that the cited case concerns civil liability and is irrelevant to Storm’s criminal charges for money laundering, sanctions violations, and operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business. The case highlights a key conflict in crypto regulation: whether developers of decentralized protocols can be held liable for how users misuse their tools. The outcome may set a significant precedent for developer liability and impact the future of DeFi and privacy-focused software.

Custodia Bank Loses Case For Rehearing Over Fed Master Account – Details

Custodia Bank has lost its request for a full court rehearing in its legal battle to obtain a Federal Reserve master account. The US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit upheld an earlier ruling, with a 7-3 vote, affirming the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's (FRBKC) authority to deny such applications. This decision reinforces the Fed's discretion in granting master accounts, which provide direct access to its payment system. Custodia, a crypto bank, had argued the denial was unlawful. The bank's options now include appealing to the US Supreme Court or applying for a special limited master account similar to the one granted to Kraken.

Supreme Court's Call for "Judicial Response to Cryptocurrency": Releases 3 Major Signals!

China's Supreme People's Court (SPC) has signaled a significant shift in its judicial approach toward cryptocurrency-related cases, moving from blanket criminalization to nuanced civil and commercial regulation. During a February 2026 press conference, SPC officials highlighted the need to develop judicial responses to new financial cases involving virtual currencies, placing them alongside traditional sectors like securities and private equity. The shift is marked by three key developments: 1. **Recognition as Property**: In December 2025, the SPC revised civil case categories to include "data and online virtual property disputes," giving cryptocurrencies legal status as a form of virtual property. This allows courts to accept such cases without first debating their legality. 2. **Refined Judgment Criteria**: Courts are transitioning from invalidating all crypto transactions to applying proportional liability based on factors like fault and fairness, as seen in a 2025 Shanghai case where partial restitution was ordered despite contract invalidity. 3. **Expanded Legal Remedies**: Beyond criminal enforcement, which often fails to recover losses, civil compensation mechanisms are being strengthened to protect investors and hold violators accountable. While the SPC’s stance does not legalize crypto trading, it acknowledges its prevalence and aims to provide structured judicial resolution for disputes, emphasizing risk awareness and compliance for investors.

US Supreme Court Has Clipped Trump’s Wings, But Uncertainty Remains for the Crypto Market

The US Supreme Court has reduced President Trump's tariff authority, lowering rates from 15% to 10%, but global uncertainty persists. This has negatively impacted the crypto market, with Bitcoin to fall below $65k and the total market cap nearing $2 trillion after a 4.43% drop. Market volatility remains high, and a correction is anticipated. In contrast, Gold and Silver have gained positive momentum as alternative investments. Experts warn that uncertainty continues to influence economic forecasts and investment decisions.

Crypto Markets Stay Calm As US Supreme Court Rules Against Trump’s Tariffs — Here’s Why

The crypto market remains in a bearish trend, with a 12% drop in February and a 44.5% decline since October 2025. Despite the US Supreme Court ruling against Trump’s tariffs as illegal under IEEPA, the crypto space showed little reaction. Analysts note that any potential impact depends on liquidity shifts, which hinge on the implementation of the court’s decision. Refunds estimated between $40 billion and $170 billion could improve corporate liquidity and risk appetite but may also raise fiscal concerns. Bitcoin, being highly sensitive to liquidity changes, did not experience immediate price movement. Investors are advised to monitor ETF flows, stablecoin movements, and exchange activity. The total crypto market cap stands at $2.33 trillion.

Welcoming the God of Wealth on the Fifth Day of Lunar New Year, Trump Overturns the Altar: Imposes 10% Global Tariffs in Defiance of Supreme Court

On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, a day traditionally associated with welcoming the god of wealth, former U.S. President Donald Trump made headlines by defying a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated his global tariff policies enacted under national emergency laws. In response, Trump immediately invoked alternative trade authority to impose an additional 10% global tariff, declaring existing national security tariffs effective immediately without seeking further congressional approval. He publicly criticized the justices who ruled against him. Meanwhile, a viral story about Punch, a baby monkey in a Japanese zoo abandoned at birth and raised by handlers, sparked widespread sympathy online. Footage of the monkey being dragged by an adult during social integration efforts led to a surge in the related meme cryptocurrency PUNCH, which saw an 80-fold increase in value. In cryptocurrency circles, predictions circulated that Bitcoin could reach $1 million by 2026, though opinions were divided on the feasibility. Some commentators expressed concerns about the crypto market’s health, suggesting it had “halved” in vitality, while others remained optimistic about future growth. Additionally, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin criticized the concept of “Web4.0,” arguing that it promotes the creation of valueless digital clutter rather than meaningful innovation. The response from the community was mixed, with some supporting his skepticism and others defending technological progress.

Supreme Court 'Hits the Brakes', Trump 'Hits the Gas': Tariff Battle Reignites!

The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on February 20 that the Trump administration lacked legal authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose broad tariffs. In response, former President Trump announced a new 10% global tariff using alternative legal authority, aiming to maintain similar tariff levels. The court’s decision challenges the legal foundation of Trump’s tariff framework and may lead to large-scale refunds and further legal battles. Market reactions were initially positive but tempered as policy uncertainty persisted. The ruling highlights ongoing tensions between presidential power and trade policy, with economic and political implications for U.S. trade strategy and revenue policy.

Will Bitcoin Price Collapse if Donald Trump’s Tariffs Are Ruled Illegal? ‘Dump’ Claims Split Traders

A prominent crypto commentator warns that Bitcoin could face the "dump of a lifetime" if the U.S. Supreme Court rules former President Donald Trump’s global tariffs illegal. Prediction markets currently assign a 73% probability to this outcome. Traders are divided: some predict a market crash due to potential trade confusion, while others argue that overturning tariffs could boost business profits and trigger a rally, including for Bitcoin. Trump has warned that reversing the tariffs would create a "complete mess" and make reimbursement "almost impossible." Bitcoin’s price, currently around $95,000, faces volatility from this legal uncertainty and escalating geopolitical tensions, such as new U.S. tariffs on Iran-trading nations. Analysts note institutional demand supports BTC, but a risk-off move could push prices toward $87,000.

Supreme Court Decision Expands Crypto Seizure Powers in South Korea

South Korea's Supreme Court has ruled that Bitcoin held on domestic cryptocurrency exchanges is subject to seizure under the Criminal Procedure Act, resolving years of legal uncertainty. The December 2025 decision, announced in early 2026, stemmed from a money laundering case where 55.6 Bitcoin were seized from an exchange account. The court dismissed the defense's argument that Bitcoin is intangible and therefore not seizable, stating that seizable property includes electronic data and assets of economic value. It determined Bitcoin qualifies as it can be "independently managed, traded, and economically controlled." This precedent strengthens prosecutors' power to confiscate crypto assets in crimes like money laundering and fraud, aligning with the country's stricter regulatory approach. The ruling is expected to compel exchanges to enhance cooperation with law enforcement.
