The Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced new laws that will regulate the practices of crypto influencers in the country. This new regulation represents an update to the previous rules governing the industry. Per the new development, all crypto platforms must obtain a license from the body before they can carry out any promotional activities. This includes promotion across TV, radio, social media, and other print media.

As part of the requirements, crypto influencers a

Tether has made a bold partnership by investing $775 million into Rumble, a video-sharing platform and cloud services provider. Rumble is the closest competitor to YouTube and is famous for its uncensored content.

Rumble will use $250 million of the money to support operations and the remainder to fund a tender offer for up to 70 million shares of its common stock at a price of $7.50, according to a Friday evening press release. That $7.50 is the same price per share Tether is paying for its st

The debate about Bitcoin remaining faithful to its cypherpunk principles has heated up, as critics claim that its potential for decentralization and anti-control is disappearing. Meanwhile, Peter Todd, one of the coin’s developers, suggests “tail emission” as an alternative.

The basis of the cypherpunk movement underlines strong cryptography and privacy tools to protect individual rights and promote a decentralized society. It combines the word “cypher” as in encryption, with “punk” as a symbol

Cryptocurrency companies are making significant financial contributions to Trump’s inauguration, with major figures like Ripple, Kraken, and Coinbase leading the way. However, there are questions about the nature of these multi-million-dollar donations, whether they are strategic moves or borderline bribery.

Cryptocurrency companies are donating a lot of money to President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration, with big names like Kraken, Coinbase, and Ripple pitching in. The crypto indust

Arthur Hayes, former CEO of BitMEX and one of crypto’s most infamous market players, just pulled off a move that has the entire community talking. He dumped $8.4 million worth of Ethena’s ENA tokens on Binance, just two hours after praising the project in a tweet.

Between November 26 and 28, Arthur quietly built up a position of 16.79 million ENA tokens at $0.67 per token, worth $11.21 million at the time. And now, he’s cashing out while the token sits at $0.7015, netting a tidy profit of $7.7

Famous Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has made a new declaration concerning the financial market. In his latest post, he went after the United States government spending and the Federal Reserve, while praising Bitcoin as usual. In his post, Kiyosaki warned the financial market like he has always done, but this time revealing new things.

In his post on X, Kiyosaki shot straight to the point, saying he does not trust the United States government. He discussed the excess spending that th

We’ve all got it by now that President Donald Trump can’t fire Federal Reserve Jerome Powell. But the rest of the board? They’re fair game. And he knows it. So do they, which is why some are reportedly already looking for help to keep their jobs.

The Federal Reserve Board is made up of seven members, each appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. With many Biden appointees in key positions right now, Trump might see it fit to clean house.

Who’s sitting on the chopping block?

Pro-Ripple (XRP) attorney and Republican John Deaton shared a TikTok video on his X account, which featured American comedian Jon Stewart raising the alarm over the US Department of Defence’s “unmonitored” spending. Deaton quoted the video, saying it is why Elon Musk-led D.O.G.E. is “necessary.”

Stewart highlighted the disconnect between the Pentagon’s budget and the realities faced by service members. “We got out of 20 years of war, and the Pentagon got a raise,” Stewart remarked. “I can’t fig

The tension between Canada and the United States has hit a boiling point. President Donald Trump is back on his favorite stage (Twitter) throwing out threats of a 25% tariff on Canadian goods and even ridiculously suggesting that Canada should become the “51st state.”

In response, Canada is preparing to strike back hard. Its retaliation could be devastating for the US economy, leaving the world’s largest trading partnership in ruins.

Memecoins have evolved. The days of just sticking an animal on something and hoping for 100x are slipping away. Now we have coins like ai16z, posting 38000% gains and sitting at well above the half-billion mark in valuation.

These AI memecoins have risen from nowhere in essentially a couple of months to hit a multi-billion market cap. Of course, Vantard knew this would happen. And that’s been driving Vantard’s ICO to over $960k in funds raised. Here’s how.

How Vantard keeps its investors ahead

If you’re not excited right now there’s something wrong with you. New year, new bull run, and a new narrative in the form of AI meme coins are tearing up the cryptosphere right now. 

With $5.7m raised, and investors seeing 54,991% from its presale alone, iDEGEN is flexing hard. And it’s ready to give all the square meme coin doubters the middle finger when it lists on DEX in early January.

iDEGEN may just be the maddest thing this sector has seen in 2024. And for crypto, that’s saying somethin

Bitcoin’s price surge toward the $100,000 mark on December 20 appeared bittersweet for investors in the US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). While Bitcoin briefly exceeded $99,000 earlier in the day, the positive price movement contrasted sharply with the net outflows from Bitcoin spot ETFs, which saw a significant drain of capital.

Monday began on a positive note for Bitcoin (BTC) investors, with the cryptocurrency’s price rising from around $101,000 to surpass $108,000 by Tuesday, ma

UnitedHealth Group CEO Brian Thompson’s alleged murderer, Luigi Mangione, is now in the same jail as disgraced former FTX CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried. After several media notifications following his potential destination, Mangione arrived in New York and will be remanded at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Coincidentally, former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is also housed in the same jail. Bankman-Fried is currently serving a 25-year sentence fo

The US government is preparing to blacklist Chinese company Sophgo over its role in an illegal chip scandal tied to Huawei, according to recent reports.

Sophgo allegedly provided a key AI chip for Huawei’s Ascend 910B processor—one of the most advanced AI chips ever developed by a Chinese company. The chip was manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and sourced under questionable circumstances.

Sophgo now faces the US Commerce Department’s Entity List, a trade blackli

Bitcoin (BTC) recorded a mild recovery after falling straight from the $102,000 to $92,000 zone. The biggest crypto has been unable to reclaim the $100K mark even after many recent attempts, which has begun to spread doubt and FOMO among investors. However, analysts suggest that the $99,800 appears to be a make-or-break level for BTC.

The global digital assets market cap jumped by over 5% over the last day to stand at $3.43 trillion. The 24-hour trading volume saw a marginal decline but still h

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, has revived his interest in buying CoinDesk in apparent jest, after the crypto media outlet plunged deeper into chaos.

Responding to a journalist’s post on X that described CoinDesk as “in shambles,” Charles questioned the outlet’s current valuation. “Remember when we thought about buying Coindesk?” he asked. “I wonder what the price is these days.”

The drama began when Bullish, CoinDesk’s parent company, abruptly fired three top editors, including ed

The hunt for high-potential cryptocurrencies is heating up, with experts identifying four altcoins poised to deliver staggering 9,000% returns in the next 90 days. Among them is Lightchain AI (LCAI), a revolutionary project integrating blockchain and artificial intelligence.

Currently available for only $0.003 during its presale, LCAI presents early investors with a unique opportunity for significant growth. This cryptocurrency has the potential to transform market dynamics and unlock new possi
