Wall Street Journal moves to dismiss Binance defamation case

The Wall Street Journal has asked a federal judge to dismiss Binances defamation lawsuit over three reports that accused the crypto exchange of weakening internal compliance efforts and allowing more than $1 billion in transactions linked to sanctioned Iranian entities.　　According to Courthouse News Service reporter Josh Russell, attorneys for the Journal argued Wednesday that Binances March 2026 complaint failed to show the newspaper knowingly published false information or acted with reckless disregard for the truth, the standard needed to establish actual malice.　　The dispute stems from reporting about an internal Binance investigation into transactions that allegedly moved through the exchange to entities connected to Iran-backed groups.　　Binance has denied key parts of the reporting and claims the Journal created a false impression that it fired investigators because of their work and stopped the internal probe.　　U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer did not rule from the bench after hearing arguments and took the Journals motion to dismiss under submission.　　Wall Street Journal says Binance failed to show actual malice　　At the center of the Journal‘s dismissal request is Binance’s claim that the newspaper knew its reporting was wrong because the exchange disputed the allegations before and after publication.　　The Journal argued in its filing that receiving denials

WikiBit Crypto Weekly Market Frontline: The Calm Before the Storm? Whales Are “Fighting Each Other”

This week, Bitcoin (BTC) has been hovering around $63,000, looking almost frozen in place. Spot trading volume has dropped to the lowest level since 2019! The market has entered “garbage time” — nobody is trading. Its more hypnotic than watching a group of elderly people practicing Tai Chi.　　So, what are whales doing？　　On the surface, everything looks calm. But beneath the water, the whales are fighting!　　Some major players are quietly accumulating, scooping up 46,000 BTC in the past 60 days. Meanwhile, another whale opened a massive leveraged long position around $63,700, pushing the position size to nearly $110 million.　　At the same time, another group of large holders has been aggressively selling and dumping.　　The market is showing extreme disagreement between bulls and bears:　　One side is shouting “buy,” while the other side is selling hard.　　Basically, they are all calling each other idiots.　　Where is institutional money going？　　The ETF data looks impressive — 8 consecutive days of net inflows sounds bullish.　　But when you look closer, the entire trend is being driven almost entirely by BlackRock.　　Other institutions are either seeing zero inflows or experiencing outflows.　　If BlackRocks buying momentum slows down, this market could flip very quickly.　　Macro environment:　　The situation is getting complicated.Tanker tensions around Iran are raising

NUSD supply falls 76% from February level

NUSD supply has fallen by about 76% from the $226 million level documented in February to $53.6 million as issuer Neutrl has suspended redemptions while assessing an undisclosed issue affecting its reserves.　　Neutrl said Thursday that unspecified circumstances had affected protocol reserves, prompting it to pause NUSD minting and redemptions as well as other functions on legal advice. The protocol has not identified the affected asset or counterparty, disclosed whether the event caused a realized loss, or provided a timeline for restarting operations.　　Neutrl has temporarily paused minting, redemptions, and other protocol functions following circumstances affecting protocol reserves.

Solana Alpenglow upgrade targets 150ms finality in October

Solana is preparing to replace TowerBFT with Alpenglow, a new consensus design that targets roughly 150 millisecond finality, down from about 12.8 seconds today.　　The latest official roadmap, however, does not confirm a September activation. Solana Foundation says Alpenglow is expected to activate with Agave 4.3, which is targeted for October 2026.　　The distinction matters because an Aug. 14 discussion around Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenkos comments revived claims that the upgrade could arrive as soon as September. Yakovenko said finality is “really only important at the cash register,” referring to situations where users or merchants need stronger certainty that a transaction cannot be reversed. His post did not announce a mainnet date.　　Finality is really only important at the cash register. Market makers dont wait for the finality signal before updating their prices. They assume all txs will finalize and deal with rollback when it happens, which is basically never.　　Solana Alpenglow now points to October, not September　　Solana Foundations Agave 4.2 overview says the full Alpenglow code is already included in 4.2 for testing and hardening. It states clearly that Alpenglow will not activate on mainnet in Agave 4.2 and is instead expected in Agave 4.3, “targeted for October 2026.”　　Anza released Agave 4.2.0 as

SEC delays Regulation Crypto meeting with no new date

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission cancelled its Aug. 14 open meeting on Regulation Crypto late Thursday, delaying a vote on whether to publish proposed rules for certain crypto asset offerings.　　The meeting had been scheduled for 10:00 a.m. ET and contained one agenda item: a tailored offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets. The SECs official notice confirms the meeting was cancelled.　　The cancellation should not be read as the SEC withdrawing Regulation Crypto. The formal notice gave no reason or replacement date. An agency spokesperson separately told Reuters that the meeting would be moved “due to an unforeseen scheduling issue.” No new meeting date has been announced.　　SEC Regulation Crypto remains in the rulemaking pipeline　　The strongest evidence that the proposal remains active comes from the federal regulatory review system. Reginfo.gov currently lists the SECs “Crypto Assets” proposal, RIN 3235-AN38, as pending review. The proposed rule was received on Aug. 12, two days before the planned Commission meeting, and has no legal deadline.　　The SECs Aug. 10 agenda described the planned action more narrowly than some reports. Commissioners were to decide whether to issue a proposal creating a tailored offering regime for certain crypto investment contracts. As crypto.news reported when the

Kalshi, Polymarket sued by Baltimore over sports event contracts

Baltimore has sued Kalshi and Polymarket over alleged unlicensed sports betting, with its case against Kalshi also naming Coinbase, Robinhood and Webull over their role in distributing sports event contracts.　　According to complaints filed Thursday by Mayor Brandon Scott and the Baltimore City Council in Baltimore City Circuit Court, the prediction market operators allegedly violated the citys Consumer Protection Ordinance by making sports contracts available without the licenses required for sports wagering.　　Baltimore says prediction markets operate like sportsbooks　　At issue are contracts tied to sporting events that Baltimore says function in much the same way as bets sold by licensed sportsbooks. The citys complaints cite markets covering game winners, point spreads and individual player performances.　　Baltimore alleges that Kalshi and Polymarket have offered these products while avoiding state licensing requirements, taxes and consumer safeguards imposed on regulated sports betting companies.　　“These companies are running sportsbooks without licenses and betting that a new label will put them above the law,” Scott said. “It wont.”　　The dispute adds Baltimore to a series of state and local challenges over whether sports event contracts fall exclusively under federal derivatives rules or can also be regulated under state gambling laws.　　A similar case emerged in Kentucky in June, when state Attorney

JPMorgan ended Polymarket banking relationship in 2025

JPMorgan Chase ended its banking relationship with prediction market Polymarket in October 2025 over regulatory concerns and told the company to find another bank, the Financial Times reported on Aug. 14.　　Polymarket has since moved to an unidentified banking partner.　　The account closure did not end all business between the companies. Polymarket told the FT it maintains “a close, active relationship with JPMorgan across multiple entities, operational integrations and material handling of customer fund flows.” JPMorgan declined to comment. The companys description of the remaining relationship has not been independently detailed publicly.　　JPMorgan debanked Polymarket over regulatory concerns　　JPMorgan‘s exit came during Polymarket’s U.S. transition　　The timing matters because Polymarket was still rebuilding its U.S. regulatory position. The CFTC order in January 2022 required Blockratize, the company behind Polymarket, to pay a $1.4 million civil penalty and wind down markets that did not comply with federal derivatives law.　　By October 2025, the company had acquired QCX and QC Clearing and secured a CFTC staff letter granting narrow no action relief on certain reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The CFTC registry currently lists QCX LLC, doing business as Polymarket US, as a designated contract market. The Commission amended its designation in November to permit futures commission merchant intermediation.　　Polymarket
