Robinhood Under the SEC's Lens Again: Robinhood faces renewed SEC scrutiny with a Wells Notice following the collapse of FTX in 2022. The recent delisting of tokens like MATIC, SOL, ADA, FIL, and SAND, amid legal actions against major exchanges, adds to regulatory challenges. Despite offering 15 cryptocurrencies, including BTC and ETH, Robinhood's future operations face uncertainty in the evolving regulatory landscape.

Satoshi-Era Wallet Springs to Life: In an intriguing development, a wallet from the Satoshi era has just moved funds, marking over $1 billion in transactions. This rare activity has stirred excitement and speculation across the Bitcoin community.

New Payment Avenues for Dogecoin: Tesla has further embraced cryptocurrency by adding Dogecoin as a payment method on their website. This move by Tesla reinforces the growing acceptance of crypto in mainstream commerce.


BTC $63,678 (+0.7%), ETH $3,094(-0.54%), SOL $154.25 (+4.8%)
