Crypto Giving Goes Global: A Transparent Philanthropy Revolution
Cryptocurrency is graduating from pilots to real-world philanthropy—powered by huge market liquidity, cheaper cross-border transfers, and native on-chain transparency. With the crypto market near $3.64 trillion and more than half of top U.S. charities now accepting donations (Fidelity Charitable recorded $688M in crypto gifts in 2024), nonprofits are weighing big benefits—faster settlement and tax-efficient large gifts—against new operational demands like custody, AML, accounting, and volatility. Read the full post to see how charities are balancing instant conversion, strategic retention, and evolving infrastructure to make crypto giving work.

Bitcoin Breaks Key Support as Markets Slump
Bitcoin’s surge has reversed dramatically — tumbling from north of $127,000 to under $66,000 — driven less by politics and more by macro risk-off, cooling institutional demand (US spot ETFs net sellers) and market plumbing like redemptions and exchange flows. The sell-off is broad-based and echoes past liquidity-driven crashes; smart tokenomics (e.g., fixed-entry, short holding models like 4TEEN) can soften the blow. Watch ETF flows, exchange inventories, real yields, equities and regulatory signals for the next move.

Wisconsin Targets Crypto Kiosk Scams with New Rules
After reports that Americans lost more than $330 million to crypto kiosk scams in 2025, Wisconsin lawmakers want new rules—mandatory ID checks, a $500-per-day cap and a 30-day refund requirement—to stop social-engineering fraud that wiped out victims’ savings. Operators warn the measures could drive up costs, shrink kiosk access and push victims to riskier channels; lawmakers say details can be calibrated. Can these operational fixes protect seniors and other vulnerable residents without killing legitimate on-ramps?

Cracking Cartels: DOJ Goes After Crypto Cash Flows
U.S. prosecutors are turning their sights on the money brokers who convert cartel cash into cryptocurrency, using indictments, asset forfeiture, subpoenas and blockchain analytics to choke off cross‑border flows. The tactic could slow cartels — or push them toward riskier couriers and more advanced privacy tools, while spurring tougher KYC and surveillance across the crypto industry.
