Prediction market operator Novig has sued Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul and state gaming administrator John Dillett, seeking to stop Wisconsin from applying its gambling laws to sports event contracts traded on the companys federally regulated exchange.　　Ludlow Exchange LLC, which operates as Novig, filed the 45-page complaint on Aug. 14 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. Novig wants preliminary and permanent injunctions and a declaration that federal commodities law preempts the Wisconsin statutes when applied to its event contracts.　　Novig argues CFTC oversight overrides Wisconsin law　　Novig‘s case rests on the Commodity Exchange Act. The company argues that its sports contracts are federally regulated derivatives and that Congress placed transactions on designated contract markets within the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s exclusive jurisdiction. That is Novigs legal position, not a finding already made by the Wisconsin court.　　JUST IN: Novig sues Wisconsin, arguing sports contracts are swaps and should fall under the CFTCs exclusive jurisdiction.

Ethereums Vitalik backs Bitcoin-inspired scaling model

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin credited Bitcoin developers on Aug. 16 for work on Utreexo while describing a proposed Ethereum scaling direction that could combine UTXO-style state, conventional dynamic state and models between the two.　　In an X post, Buterin called it the “current proposed Ethereum scaling strategy,” making clear that the architecture remains under development.　　Buterin said the goal is to let most Ethereum activity scale much further without sacrificing decentralization, censorship resistance or ease of running nodes. His comments do not mean Ethereum has decided to replace its account model with Bitcoins UTXO architecture. The relevant designs remain research proposals rather than approved protocol changes.　　Bitcoiners deserve a lot of credit for pioneering many of these ideas (see Utreexo).　　But yes, this is what the current proposed Ethereum scaling strategy looks like in action.　　We want Ethereum to have the best of UTXO-style state, dynamic state, and everything in between,…　　— vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) August 16, 2026　　Bitcoins Utreexo offers a model for reducing node state　　Utreexo was introduced by MIT Digital Currency Initiative researcher Thaddeus Dryja in 2019. Instead of requiring a validating node to locally hold the full Bitcoin UTXO set, the design represents that set with a compact hash-based accumulator. Transaction inputs carry inclusion proofs

MiCA scam warnings rise as 1,000+ firms lose EU access

MiCA migration scams are targeting European crypto users after the European Unions final grandfathering period ended on July 1, forcing unauthorized crypto asset service providers to wind down covered services and move customers toward licensed firms or self-hosted wallets.　　ESMAs June statement requires unauthorized providers to stop onboarding new EU clients and limit activity to an orderly exit.　　The regulator also tells customers to check whether a provider appears in its official MiCA register before moving assets. European watchdogs now say fraudsters are exploiting those genuine migration messages by impersonating regulators and licensed exchanges and directing users to fake websites, wallets or platforms.　　MiCA deadline created a new migration attack surface　　The scale of the migration is large, but the numbers require qualification. A widely repeated estimate of more than 1,700 unlicensed platforms came from data provider VASPnet, not ESMA. CoinDesk cited that estimate alongside ESMA register data showing 323 authorized crypto companies in a late-July snapshot.　　EU Regulators Warn of MiCA Migration Scams as 1,700 Crypto Platforms Halt EU Services　　More than 1,700 unlicensed crypto platforms were required to stop serving EU users after MiCA took full effect on July 1, while only 323 firms held valid MiCA authorization at the time,… pic.twitter.com/jLa2Kwc9qE　　— Wu Blockchain

SanDisk Stock Locks In $94B Backlog, Targets 80% Margins by 2030

SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) stock rose nearly 14% on August 13 after the company disclosed a $93.9 billion customer backlog and set a target of 80% non-GAAP gross margins through fiscal 2030 at its Investor Day.　　Speaking in Manhattan, Chairman and CEO David Goeckeler framed the event as proof that his 18-month turnaround plan is finally paying off, addressing skepticism that had built up after a rough six weeks for the stock.　　The Spinoff Behind SanDisk Stocks AI Boom　　SanDisk completed its split from Western Digital in February 2025 and began trading independently in late February, becoming a standalone NAND flash and solid-state drive maker just as artificial intelligence (AI) data centers began driving unprecedented demand for high-speed storage.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　The latest news and stock pop comes from customers that have already signed contracts to buy $93.9 billion of SanDisks chips over the next several years. This is prompting Goeckeler to target a 80% gross margin, meaning SanDisk aims to keep $80 of every $100 in sales as profit.　　The stock is up more than 571% so far this year, even after a sharp July pullback that briefly wiped out much of the SanDisk stock margin target optimism BeInCrypto covered days before this rally.　　That surge tracks a

Bitcoin to $1M by 2030 is ‘mathematically impossible’ says Markus Thielen

The numbers behind the oft-cited prediction that Bitcoin will reach $1 million by 2030 simply dont add up, according to Markus Thielen, head of research at 10x Research.　　“It‘s mathematically impossible,” Thielen tells Cointelegraph on Trade Secrets, arguing that Bitcoin’s historical capital inflows over the past 15 years fall far short of the amount it would need to attract over the next four years to reach $1 million. “We have seen $1 trillion US dollars of inflow to bring the market cap really to $1 trillion. To $1 million [per] Bitcoin. Its 15x, I think, from here,” Thielen says.　　At the time of publication, Bitcoins market cap is around $1.28 trillion, with its price trading at $63,868, according to CoinMarketCap.　　Thielen estimates that Bitcoin would need to attract another $15 trillion in capital to reach a per Bitcoin price of $1 million. This is equivalent to roughly 25% of the US stock markets total value flowing into Bitcoin over the next four years.　　“It would require trillions,” says Thielen　　“It takes trillions and trillions of dollars to move the price really materially higher, and thats why we are not as bullish as those arguments which we think are totally mathematically unrealistic because it would require
