On March 16, 2026, Michael David Coberg, 44, was sentenced to 63 months in federal prison-a fittingly round number for a man who once traded public service for private extortion.

Ah, CoinSwitch, the darling of India’s crypto masses with its 2.5 crore devotees, has birthed DigiVault-a sanctuary for the high-net-worth, the institutional, and the Web3-enchanted. A place where digital assets slumber securely, swaddled in compliance and MPC technology. How quaint.
As April looms like an impending thunderstorm, the pressure is mounting. Industry insiders are practically begging for the bill to pass before the month’s end, warning that if it doesn’t, we might as well kiss any hopes of passing it this year goodbye. No pressure, right?

This seismic shift, which would allow corporations to replace their quarterly performances with a more leisurely biannual recital of profits and embellishments, is said to reduce costs, encourage IPOs, and-most daringly-allow executives to focus on “long-term strategy” rather than, you know, fudging numbers to meet arbitrary targets.
Shares of Circle Internet Group Inc. (NYSE: CRCL), the puppeteers of the USDC stablecoin, have ballooned like a soufflé in a sauna, trading near $120-$124 this week-a 7% to 8% pirouette upward today alone.

When Pi Network unveiled its Open Network in February 2025, Pioneers migrated their first transferrable Pi balances. That, dear reader, was the opening act.
