Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

A UK lawmaker has asked the financial authorities to investigate Nigel Farage’s promotion of a Bitcoin (BTC) treasury firm, raising concerns about potential market abuse and conflicts of interest due to the politician’s potential ties to the crypto industry.

Farage’s Stack BTC Video Prompts Scrutiny
On Monday, UK Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper asked the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) CEO, Nikhil Rathi, to investigate Reform UK leader and Member of Parliament (MP) Nigel Farage over his ties to the crypto industry.

In the letter, the lawmaker highlighted Farage’s recent appearance in a promotional video for crypto treasury firm Stack BTC, in which he is also an investor, showing him purchasing roughly £2 million in Bitcoin.

As reported by Bitcoinist, the Reform UK leader bought 37 BTC, worth around $2.7 million, on Monday on behalf of the company, becoming the first sitting British MP and party leader to publicly back Bitcoin, Stack BTC noted.

Despite the triumph for crypto in British Politics, Cooper considers that Farage’s Bitcoin promotion, alongside his repeated support for digital assets, “raises extremely serious questions about potential market abuse, a conflict of interest, and exposure of ordinary people to financial harm.”

The lawmaker highlighted Farage’s campaigns to expand the use of digital assets in the UK, including establishing a Bitcoin reserve fund, reducing capital gains tax on crypto assets from 24% to 10%, and enacting legal safeguards to prevent banks from terminating accounts associated with digital currency transactions.

“Taken together, these facts beg the question whether Mr Farage is promoting cryptocurrencies through his political platform in order to inflate crypto values for his own financial benefit, as well as that of his party and his inner circle

Semiconductor company ASML saw its shares dip on Wednesday morning after its China segment took a hit from new export bans. The equipment maker's China segment shrank as a percentage of net system sales. ASML stock is down over 5% at the time of writing. "Demand for chips is outpacing supply. In response, our customers are accelerating their capacity expansion plans for 2026 and beyond," said CEO Christophe Fouquet in the company's quarterly results release. In its latest guidance for Q2, ASML raised its 2026 net sales forecast to a range of $42.46 billion to $47.18 billion. That's up from a range of $40.12 billion and $46.02 billion previously forecasted. Last week, a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers proposed a bill that would cut off ASML's sales of DUV machines to Chinese chip companies, thereby affecting its already shrinking sales there. That law still needs to work its way through the U.S. legislative process. While the Dutch chipmaker has never been allowed to sell EUV machines to China, it has long sold its lower-end deep ultraviolet, or DUV, chipmaking machines there. Therefore, China's ban cuts deeply into ASML's revenue, scaring off stock investors. Also Read: Roth Capital's New Price Predicti

Ethereum Shows Strength Near $3,800 as
Buyers Step In
Ethereum (ETH) is gaining attention today as it continues to hold strong above the $3,700-$3,800 support zone, showing signs of bullish momentum. Despite minor pullbacks, ETH is maintaining its structure, which indicates that buyers are actively accumulating at lower levels. This strength comes as overall market sentiment improves and Bitcoin stabilizes near key resistance levels.
One of the key drivers behind Ethereum's current movement is the growing interest in staking and DeFi projects, which are increasing demand for ETH. Additionally, developers remain highly active on the Ethereum network, reinforcing long-term confidence. However, similar to Bitcoin, ETH is also facing resistance at higher levels due to short-term profit-taking by traders. ll Current Market Situation:
Ethereum is currently trading around $3,750-$3,850, which is a crucial range. If ETH holds this support and builds momentum, a breakout could be expected soon. Volume is gradually increasing, which is often an early sign of a potential move.
~ Price Prediction (Short-Term):
If ETH breaks above $3,900 resistance, next targets could be:
$4,200
$4,500
If rejection occurs:
> Support levels: $3,500 - $3,600
* Final Insight:
Ethereum's structure is currently bullish with consolidation, meaning a breakout is likely if buying pressure continues. Traders should watch resistance levels closely for confirmation.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Crypto analyst Ted Pillows has drawn attention to the Solana treasury companies, which appear to be struggling more than the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP treasury companies. This comes amid the crypto market downtrend, with SOL suffering the largest drawdown among these coins. Solana Treasuries Struggling Worse Than Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP TreasuriesIn an X post, Ted Pillows stated that Solana treasury companies are looking like “Solana memecoins.” He noted that they are already down 80% to 90%, but could go lower before the bottom. Notably, the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP treasury companies have shown greater strength than these Solana treasuries.  Related Reading: Here’s How Solana And XRP ETFs Have Performed Compared To Bitcoin And EthereumTed Pillows highlighted the stock performance of the Solana treasury companies, Forward Industries, Sol Strategies, Sharps Technology, and DeFi Development Corporation (DFDV). Forward Industries, which is the largest Solana treasury, has seen its FWDI stock fall from a high above $40 last year to as low as $4. The stock is currently down over 80% in the last six months. Source: Chart from Ted Pillows on XIt is worth noting that Solana has suffered a larger crash than Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP from their October 2025 peaks, which could explain why the Solana treasury companies have suffered larger crashes than the BTC, ETH, and XRP treasury companies. The SOL price is down almost 55% in the last six months, while BTC, ETH, and XRP are down less than 50% in the same period. Commenting on Ethereum treasury companies, Ted Pillows noted that they are showing some strength at the moment. However, he warned that this doesn’t mean that they have bottomed out, but that they could bring some buying pressure into ETH. The analyst added
