This little escapade signals that blockchain isn’t just for tinkering techies and internet weirdos anymore; it’s practically moving into the neighborhood with a giant banner saying, “Welcome to the future!” Let’s not forget that with this blockchain bonanza, the crypto crowd is also seeing a surge in demand for Layer 2 solutions. Because who wouldn’t want to travel on a blockchain expressway? 🚗💨
As you might imagine, the news of this disruption ricocheted across social media, with users shouting from the digital rooftops about whether this pesky downtime was merely a technical glitch or some shady market shenanigans. Spoiler alert: the speculation was rampant! 🎭
And what of this union? Picture it: an all-stock spectacle, with the company retaining its sparkling moniker, American Bitcoin. Founders Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., in their infinite wisdom, along with Hut 8, will command a whopping 98% of what may or may not become the next Silicon Valley-and maybe even the internet’s favorite new meme. Asher Genoot, the czar of Hut 8’s CEO, whispers sweet nothings to Reuters, promising a swift marriage, with trading to commence in early September-fasten your seat belts; it’s going to be one rollercoaster of a crypto-love story.

The advisory clarifies the Foreign Board of Trade (FBOT) registration framework, allowing non-US exchanges to provide direct market access to US customers. One can almost hear the sigh of relief from crypto companies that were forced to set up shop overseas due to regulatory uncertainty 🌎.
On the 28th day of August-a date chosen with the solemnity of a tsar’s tea party-the CFTC declared its allegiance to Part 48 regulations. Foreign platforms may now register as FBOTs (Foreign Boards of Trade, not For-Benefit-Of-Turgenev) instead of the dreaded DCMs. Digital assets? Included. Drama? Abundant.
