Binance Faces $3B Terror-Financing Suit Under ATA/JASTA Rules
A 284-page complaint filed in North Dakota federal court targets Binance, CEO Changpeng Zhao, and exec Guangying Chen for allegedly facilitating funds used in the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks. The lawsuit invokes the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) and JASTA, seeking roughly $1 billion—tripling to $3 billion if plaintiffs succeed—based on claims that Binance knowingly provided “core infrastructure” enabling terrorist financing via off-chain transaction management, VIP exemptions, and inadequate AML/KYC controls.
US GDP Growth Alone Won’t Guarantee a Bitcoin Rally in 2026
Bank of America forecasts 2.4% US GDP growth in 2026, supported by fiscal stimulus, AI investment, and trade policies, but JPMorgan warns macro risks could keep real yields elevated, limiting Bitcoin’s upside. Analysts say the key determinant for BTC is not GDP itself, but whether growth comes with falling real yields and expanding liquidity—which historically drive ETF flows and demand for the non-yielding crypto asset.
Why S&P Downgraded Tether After Massive Gold & Bitcoin Purchases
S&P Global has downgraded Tether’s USDT stability rating to its lowest level, even as the company accumulates more gold than any country and expands its Bitcoin holdings to sovereign-scale levels. The rating agency argues that Tether’s rising exposure to BTC, gold, and secured loans introduces liquidity and transparency risks—while the crypto market sees these same moves as signs of growing strength and financial resilience.
JPMorgan Boosts Bitcoin Access but Closes Strike CEO’s Account
JPMorgan is sending mixed signals to the crypto industry as it opens new pathways for leveraged Bitcoin exposure—through structured notes and ETF-backed lending—while simultaneously closing the personal accounts of Strike CEO Jack Mallers without explanation. This dual approach highlights the growing divide between Wall Street’s push to institutionalize Bitcoin for wealthy clients and the persistent scrutiny faced by crypto-native founders navigating traditional banking systems.
Claude AI Predicts Big Moves for XRP, Shiba Inu, and PEPE This December
Anthropic’s Claude AI has issued bold end-of-year forecasts for XRP, Shiba Inu, and PEPE, predicting unusually high volatility through December. According to the AI model, XRP could swing between $1.80 and $10, SHIB could climb as high as 11×, and PEPE might surge over 420% if market conditions improve. Despite recent corrections triggered by Bitcoin’s drop to $82K, Claude highlights that blockchain innovation remains strong — setting the stage for potentially explosive Christmas price action.
XRP Price Prediction: $800M ETF Inflows, but Price Still Stalls — Why?
XRP’s price remains unexpectedly flat despite nearly $800 million flowing into newly launched XRP ETFs, sparking debate over what’s holding the token back. Institutional demand is rising fast, yet retail traders are still largely on the sidelines — a major reason XRP has only gained 3% this week. With open interest now at $4 billion, mirroring levels seen before XRP’s 2025 peak, analysts say a breakout is still possible if momentum finally returns.
Australia Unveils Digital Assets Bill to Prevent Future Crypto Failures
Australia has introduced a new Digital Assets Framework Bill aimed at modernizing the country’s financial system and preventing failures like FTX and Celsius. The bill proposes clear rules for crypto custody and trading platforms, requiring most providers to obtain an Australian Financial Services Licence while offering exemptions for smaller, low-risk operators. The legislation seeks to close long-standing regulatory gaps, improve transparency, and strengthen consumer protection across the digital-asset sector.
$1.7 Trillion Asset Manager Franklin Templeton Files for Solana Spot ETF
Franklin Templeton, a global asset manager overseeing $1.68 trillion in assets, has filed to launch a Solana (SOL) spot ETF through its Delaware-registered Franklin Solana Trust. The move follows prior Solana ETF applications from Grayscale and Canary, signaling growing institutional interest in SOL. If approved, the ETF would offer regulated exposure to Solana, a blockchain known for its high-throughput architecture and increasing adoption.
Early Ethereum Investor Sells 20,000 ETH Worth $58M
An early Ethereum investor has sold 20,000 $ETH through FalconX, totaling approximately $58.14 million. The original ICO allocation of 254,908 $ETH cost only $79,000, meaning the holdings are now worth around $757 million—a staggering 9,582x return. This high-profile sale highlights continued activity from early Ethereum participants even as ETH trades below $3,000 amid market volatility.

This marks another major step in expanding crypto ETF offerings in the U.S., especially as Dogecoin maintains its position as the 10th-largest cryptocurrency with a $23 billion market cap. The approval follows a surge of interest in DOGE investment products, highlighting rising institutional demand for memecoin exposure.
