Warren Seeks Details Of MrBeast’s Crypto Plans, Orders Response By April 3

Senator Elizabeth Warren has formally requested detailed information from Beast Industries and its owner, YouTube star MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson), regarding the company's acquisition of Step, a fintech app for teenagers that previously allowed crypto trading. Warren's letter, dated March 23, expresses serious concerns about expanding financial services to young users, especially into crypto and DeFi, and demands strict compliance with legal protections. She highlights Step’s past advertising that promoted crypto and NFTs to minors, contrasting it with the company's own later warnings about the extreme risks of such assets. Warren also raises questions about Beast Industries' $200 million investment from BitMine Immersion Technologies and references past allegations of insider trading against MrBeast, though he has denied wrongdoing. Citing the platform’s appeal to young audiences and the need for safeguards, Warren has given Beast Industries until April 3, 2026, to respond to eleven specific questions about its plans for Step and user protection.

Crypto Libra Scandal: New Evidence Exposes Payments From Lobbyist To President Milei

New forensic evidence and leaked court documents reveal that Mauricio Novelli, a lobbyist for the cryptocurrency Libra (LIBRA), made thousands of dollars in payments to Argentine President Javier Milei and his inner circle since 2021. The payments, initially around $2,000 monthly during Milei's time as a congressman, increased to $4,000 routed through his sister after he became president. Prosecutors found that Novelli financed these transactions by selling cryptocurrencies like USDT for cash. Additional documents suggest a coordinated effort to leverage Milei’s influence to promote Libra, including a proposed $5 million package for his endorsement. Milei’s public promotion of the token in February 2025 led to a 1,300% price surge followed by a crash, causing significant investor losses and triggering legal and congressional investigations. Opposition lawmakers are now accusing Milei of being a "necessary participant" in a premeditated crypto scam, though the presidency maintains he acted in "good faith."

Fortune Investigates Binance's Iran Fund Flow: $439 Million Chinese VIP Accounts Surface

Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, is facing renewed scrutiny over its compliance practices following a Fortune investigation. The report reveals that a VIP account, registered under the name of a 79-year-old Chinese resident, transferred $439 million in Tether stablecoins to external wallets. These funds were subsequently moved to wallets linked to Iranian entities, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Despite Binance's $4.3 billion plea deal with the U.S. government in 2023, which it committed to strengthen its compliance programs, these massive transactions did not trigger immediate alerts. A second Chinese VIP account, held by a 38-year-old woman, transferred nearly $200 million to the same Iranian-linked network. Internal investigators found that both accounts were likely accessed from the same device, suggesting possible common control. The funds were funneled through a Hong Kong-based entity, Blessed Trust, which also handled back-office operations for Binance. The exchange has denied that internal investigators were fired for uncovering these activities, stating their departures were due to violations of data policies. The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly investigating whether Iran used Binance to evade sanctions, though the exchange says it is unaware of any such probe. These findings have prompted a U.S. Senate investigation and raised serious questions about the effectiveness of Binance's compliance program.

WLFI reclaims $0.10, but here’s why the bearish trend is still intact

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has reclaimed the $0.10 psychological support level with a 3.9% rally, but the overall trend remains bearish. Despite a new governance proposal receiving over 99% approval, the token faces significant challenges, including a recent transfer of 16.71 million tokens to OKX likely for selling and criticism from U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren. Technical indicators show sustained selling pressure, with the RSI below 50 and CMF consistently negative. The price has struggled to break the $0.12 resistance, and a drop below $0.097 could lead to a 25% decline. Traders are advised to sell any bounces unless WLFI surpasses the key $0.13 resistance level.

A Depegging and a Tweet: When the U.S. President Begins to "Legislate Escort" for His Family Business

A brief depegging incident involving the USD1 stablecoin, issued by Trump-affiliated World Liberty Financial (WLFI), and a subsequent push for crypto legislation by former President Trump have raised questions about the intersection of his political power and family business interests. On February 23, 2026, USD1 briefly depegged to $0.994 amid what WLFI called a "coordinated attack" involving social media hacks and market manipulation. Shortly after, WLFI transferred over $17 million worth of its native tokens to centralized exchanges, sparking market speculation about potential selling. Concurrently, on March 4, Trump publicly urged Congress to pass the GENIUS Act, a key stablecoin regulatory bill, while accusing banking lobbyists of undermining U.S. crypto competitiveness. The situation is complicated by the fact that the Trump family stands to benefit directly from the bill's passage. WLFI, which launched USD1 in March 2025, has seen rapid growth, partly fueled by political connections, including a major investment from an Abu Dhabi sovereign fund. However, the project faces scrutiny. A U.S. House investigation is probing a secretive $500 million sale of a 49% WLFI stake to an entity linked to an UAE royal, a deal signed just days before Trump's second inauguration. Critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, have raised concerns about potential national security risks and conflicts of interest. The episode highlights a grey area in modern governance: a sitting president simultaneously advocating for policies that could directly enrich his family's business, while that business faces both market pressures and congressional investigations. The existing legal and regulatory framework appears insufficient to address this novel overlap of political power and private commercial interest.

FBI arrests suspect in $46M U.S. Marshals crypto theft case

FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of John Daghita, a U.S. government contractor, in Saint Martin by French authorities. Daghita is accused of stealing over $46 million in cryptocurrency from wallets managed by the U.S. Marshals Service, which handles seized digital assets in criminal cases. The theft was initially flagged by blockchain investigator ZachXBT in January, who identified suspicious transactions linked to an individual named "John." Following the allegations, U.S. agencies began reviewing the incident. The case highlights ongoing concerns about crypto custody risks as government-held digital assets grow. Authorities have not confirmed if any stolen funds were recovered.

Trump nominates Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair: A pro-crypto shift?

President Trump has nominated Kevin Warsh to replace Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve Chair, potentially ending their longstanding conflict over interest rate policy. Warsh, known for his inflation-hawk stance, is expected to pursue aggressive rate cuts amid rising geopolitical tensions and energy-driven inflation risks. The nomination faces Senate opposition, led by Senator Thom Tillis, who vows to block any nominee until a DOJ investigation into Powell is resolved. Meanwhile, Bitcoin surpassed $72,000, but market sentiment remains cautious. If Warsh cuts rates while inflation persists, it could weaken the U.S. dollar and boost appeal for crypto as a store of value.
