The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is stepping in to stop what it calls an “onslaught” of state-level regulation of prediction markets. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig said Tuesday in a video posted on X that the agency has filed a “friend of the court brief” in support of Crypto.com in its escalating legal battle with regulators in Nevada. The move is significant because it marks the first time under Selig that the CFTC has taken sides in what is shaping up to be an epic fight between regulators and prediction markets, platforms that allow users to trade contracts tied to…

Eddie Bauer LLC said Monday it had entered into a restructuring pact with its secured lenders as it made the…
If we look at SoSoValue data, it reveals that US spot Bitcoin ETFs had three consecutive weeks of inflows, estimated at about $2.1 billion.

By allowing foreign-flagged, foreign-crewed vessels to transport energy and agricultural products between US ports, the administration is attempting to bypass the bottlenecks of a limited domestic fleet. This move is a direct response to the escalating energy shock and the closure of the Strait…
