Bitcoin ATMs Banned in City from 'Breaking Bad' Series

The city of Albuquerque, New Mexico (famous as the setting for "Breaking Bad") has banned Bitcoin ATMs and over-the-counter cryptocurrency transactions. A new city council ordinance prohibits the installation, operation, and maintenance of crypto kiosks within the city, giving operators 45 days to remove them. Businesses hosting these machines also face restrictions. The ban extends to transactions where a cashier or employee facilitates buying, selling, or transferring cryptocurrency via a website, app, or terminal. However, personal ownership, mining, blockchain software development, and peer-to-peer online transfers without using these physical terminals remain legal. Penalties for violations include fines, court-ordered removal of machines, and potential revocation of business licenses. Council members Stephanie Telles and Tammy Fiebelkorn spearheaded the measure. Telles claimed approximately 90% of local crypto ATM transactions are linked to fraud, citing their high fees, speed, and irreversibility as attractive to scammers, though she provided no independent verification. Fiebelkorn stated the city chose not to wait for potential federal action. This follows a similar ban enacted in Minnesota on August 1, which requires all crypto ATMs to be removed by December 31, also motivated by rising fraud-related financial losses.

Cryptocurrency ATMs Banned in Albuquerque Due to Fraud

The city council of Albuquerque, New Mexico, has enacted a ban on cryptocurrency ATMs and over-the-counter digital asset transactions. Operators must immediately deactivate devices and remove them within 45 days. The ordinance prohibits installing, operating, maintaining, or hosting crypto kiosks within city limits. Transactions where a cashier facilitates buying, selling, or transferring cryptocurrency are also banned, though personal ownership, mining, software development, and peer-to-peer transfers are not affected. Violations will incur fines, potential court-ordered removal, and license revocation for businesses. Council members Stephanie Telles and Tammy Fiebelkorn introduced the measure. Telles claimed approximately 90% of crypto ATM transactions in Albuquerque are linked to fraud, arguing the machines are primarily used by scammers, criminal organizations, and human traffickers due to high fees deterring legitimate users. The issue extends beyond Albuquerque. According to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center, Americans filed over 13,400 reports in 2025 concerning crypto ATM fraud schemes, with reported losses exceeding $388 million—a 58% annual increase. Over half the complaints came from people over 50, accounting for more than $302 million in losses. Albuquerque joins several other US states, including Delaware and New Jersey, in implementing such bans. Despite the crackdown, the US leads globally in crypto ATM installations with a 70.8% share, and North America accounts for 85.1% of all devices. Leading operators include CoinFlip, Athena Bitcoin, and Bitstop. The industry faces scrutiny, with Athena Bitcoin accused in 2025 of profiting from elder fraud and Bitcoin Depot experiencing license revocation, a hack, and bankruptcy filings in 2026.

New York town weighs crypto mining and AI data center ban

The town of Plattsburgh, New York, held a public hearing to consider a 12-month moratorium on new "high energy computing facilities," specifically targeting cryptocurrency mining and artificial intelligence data centers. The proposed law would temporarily halt approvals for operations requiring 300 kilowatts or more of power. Plattsburgh has a history with such bans, having implemented an 18-month moratorium on Bitcoin mining in 2018 due to resident concerns over electricity costs. The mayor had not approved the new moratorium as of a recent report, with another council meeting scheduled for September 17. The move comes as many crypto mining firms are shifting operations toward AI and high-performance computing amid industry challenges.

UK Financial Regulator Considering Lifting Ban on Prediction Markets: Media

The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is reportedly considering relaxing a 2019 ban that prevents UK-based retail investors from trading on prediction market platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi. These markets offer binary options contracts on events in sports, politics, and weather, which the FCA had previously categorized as "gambling products masquerading as financial instruments." The review follows reports that UK retail investors have been using VPNs to bypass the restrictions and trade on these US-based platforms. The prediction market industry is projected to grow significantly, with estimates suggesting global trade volumes could reach up to $1 trillion by 2030. However, if the ban is lifted, platforms may face regulatory challenges similar to those in the US, where state gaming authorities are filing lawsuits against companies over sports-related contracts. For instance, New Jersey authorities recently petitioned the Supreme Court to hear a case against Kalshi, which could clarify state versus federal jurisdiction over prediction markets.

Kalshi Bans Former Republican Representative Santos from Congressional Committee, Imposes $71,000 Fine

Former U.S. Representative George Santos has been permanently banned from the prediction market platform Kalshi and ordered to pay over $71,000. This action follows his trading on a market related to his own attendance at a presidential State of the Union address, a personal outcome he could influence. This marks the first time Kalshi has banned a user for violating its trading policies, signaling that platforms are now independently sanctioning users for insider trading. Santos also recently settled with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), paying a $35,000 fine for manipulating the contract price by making public statements about his planned attendance. He did not admit or deny the CFTC's findings. Santos was expelled from Congress in late 2023 following a House ethics investigation. His case is part of a recurring pattern of insider trading issues on prediction markets. Other recent incidents include the arrest of a U.S. Army soldier for trading on non-public information regarding Venezuela's president on Polymarket and a CFTC order against a former White House teleprompter operator for profiting from advance access to presidential speeches. While bipartisan legislative proposals to ban such trading are pending, platforms like Kalshi are implementing their own measures, such as employment verification and permanent bans, to self-regulate.

Ireland Bans Use of Cryptocurrencies in New State Investment Program

Ireland has excluded high-risk financial products, including cryptocurrencies and derivatives, from its new state-backed savings and investment program, according to officials. The initiative, presented by Vice Prime Minister and Finance Minister Simon Harris, aims to encourage Irish households to move billions from low-interest deposits into traditional capital markets. Currently, Irish households hold approximately $197 billion in bank accounts, with cash making up about 38% of their financial assets—well above the EU average of 30%. The proposed scheme, modeled partly on Sweden's tax-advantaged investment account system, will allow tax residents aged 18 and over to hold eligible investments like ETFs, listed shares, and corporate bonds under a simplified tax structure. It replaces Ireland's standard 33% capital gains tax and 41% exit tax with an annual fixed charge applied above a tax-free allowance, and removes the controversial "deemed disposal" rule for assets held in the account. Details will be finalized with the October budget, with account launches planned for 2027. The explicit ban on crypto assets aligns with Ireland's increasingly restrictive stance on digital currencies, driven by financial stability and anti-money laundering (AML) concerns. This month, the Department of Finance launched Ireland's first National AML Strategy to 2030, focusing on digital assets and offshore financial flows. The strategy mandates enhanced identity checks for transfers involving self-hosted crypto wallets and requires regulated providers to verify ownership of external wallets for transfers over $1,150. It also incorporates EU regulations like MiCA and the Funds Transfer Regulation. By excluding digital tokens from the state-supported investment scheme while tightening compliance protocols for private crypto transfers, Irish authorities are pursuing a dual policy: expanding retail access to traditional regulated securities while isolating speculative digital assets behind strengthened financial crime safeguards.

California Passes Bill Banning Memecoins for State Officials

California has passed bill AB 2409, which prohibits state officials and employees from issuing memecoins. Passed by state legislators in August 2026, the bill will also restrict crypto services from listing such tokens for California residents starting January 1, 2027. The legislation applies to state and local government officials and members of public boards and commissions. From 2027, digital service providers are banned from listing for Californians any memecoins issued after that date by federal or state/local officials, or tokens they create in partnership with others. The bill broadly defines memecoins as digital assets whose value is linked to internet memes, celebrities, current events, or cultural trends. Officials argue the ban prevents using public office for personal financial gain, avoids conflicts of interest, and maintains public trust. Enforcement will be handled by the state Attorney General and local prosecutors. This state action is part of broader U.S. efforts to restrict politicians' involvement in cryptocurrency. Previous federal proposals include the MEME Act and COIN Act, which sought to ban the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and their families from profiting from or promoting digital assets like memecoins.

California Senate Approves Bill to Ban Issuance of Memecoins by Public Officials

The California Senate has unanimously approved a bill to restrict public officials from issuing or promoting memecoins, citing concerns over conflicts of interest and "pay-to-play" arrangements. The bill, Assembly Bill 2409, passed the Senate 40-0 and the Assembly 78-0, and now awaits the governor's signature. It would prohibit digital asset service providers from offering Californians memecoins issued on or after January 1, 2027, if they are offered by or in coordination with federal, state, or local public officials. The bill defines memecoins as digital assets whose value is primarily driven by public interest, speculation, or community engagement. This legislative action follows a report highlighting significant investor losses, including an estimated $3.2 billion in cumulative losses for holders of the Trump-related memecoin $TRUMP. The token, the fifth-largest memecoin, has seen recent volatility. Furthermore, former President Trump's family crypto ventures have reportedly complicated the passage of broader U.S. crypto market structure legislation, with a proposed bipartisan ethics amendment potentially allowing him to defer capital gains taxes.

California Senate passes bill to ban memecoin issuance by public officials

California lawmakers have passed a bill, AB 2409, to ban public officials from issuing or partnering on memecoins, citing concerns over conflicts of interest and "pay-to-play" arrangements. The bill, which passed unanimously in both the Senate and Assembly, awaits the governor's signature. If enacted, it would prohibit digital asset service providers from offering such memecoins to California residents starting January 1, 2027. The legislation defines memecoins as digital assets whose value comes primarily from public interest or speculation. The report highlights a recent analysis showing significant paper losses for investors in the Trump-themed TRUMP memecoin. It also notes that crypto ventures linked to the Trump family are complicating the passage of broader federal crypto market structure legislation.

Russia Introduces Digital Ruble from September 1, But Maintains Ban on Cryptocurrency Payments

Russia will launch its central bank digital currency (CBDC), the digital ruble, on September 1. Major telecommunications companies (MTS, Rostelecom, Megafon) and major online retailers (Wildberries, Ozon) are preparing to accept it for payments. However, Russia maintains its ban on using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin for direct payments, drawing a clear line between state-controlled digital money and private alternatives. A new law mandates a phased adoption: large retailers must accept the digital ruble by September 2026, with smaller businesses following by 2028. All systemically important Russian banks are required to support the currency from launch. The digital ruble will be fee-free for individuals, accessible via existing banking apps, with monthly top-up limits. This move is positioned as a way to advance state-backed digital currency in daily transactions while preventing the adoption of cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, which the central bank views as a threat to monetary sovereignty. Despite the official push, recent public opinion polls indicate significant hesitation among Russians, with a majority expressing reluctance to use the digital ruble or receive salaries in it.
