The UK Treasury’s borrowing of US crypto regulation is worth raising an eyebrow over, and frankly speaking, it should be a lot more than just that. That unspoken assumption, that what is good for Wall Street must be good for the UK, is very dangerous. So we’re not just talking...
The news is out: Senator Dave McCormick, a Republican from Pennsylvania and a key member of the Senate Banking Committee (and its Subcommittee on Digital Assets), has invested a significant chunk of change – somewhere between $505,000 and $1.1 million – in Bitcoin through the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF.

This isn't just about cleaning up the Wild West. It's about paving it over with a shopping mall.Regulation's Iron Grip On...
The UK’s consumer protection-focused approach to crypto regulation sounds good in theory, but I detect a bit of a stinky fish.
