OKX Europe Enables USDT-to-MiCA USDC Swaps for Traders

OKX Europe has introduced a “one-way conversion” tool that lets customers deposit Tether’s USDT and convert it into Circle’s MiCA-compliant USDC. The feature is aimed at clients who can no longer keep USDT supported on their accounts as European Union stablecoin rules tighten. In an announcement shared with Cointelegraph, OKX Europe said the process is customer-controlled: users can deposit USDT into their OKX Europe account and convert it into USDC at their discretion, rather than being forced through a platform-imposed deadline. The exchange said the tool is meant to support customers whose existing venues no longer accept USDT or who plan to move balances automatically to compliant alternatives. Key takeaways OKX Europe now supports conversion from USDT into MiCA-compliant USDC, without requiring a two-way transfer option. The feature targets customers affected by MiCA implementation, when many EU-facing platforms reduced USDT availability. OKX Europe positions the update as a...

Trump Teleprompter Operator Earned $100K Betting on Kalshi via Speeches, ABC Reports

Regulators are reportedly in talks with a former White House teleprompter operator as the U.S. probes whether nonpublic information was used to profit from political prediction markets. ABC News reported that Gabriel Perez—who has supported the Trump teleprompter since 2016—has been accused of betting on Kalshi markets tied to words and topics appearing in the president’s speeches. According to ABC, Kalshi’s surveillance identified activity linked to more than a dozen speech-related contracts over roughly three months, with profits reportedly exceeding $100,000. The report adds a familiar but thorny issue to the growing prediction market sector: when real-time access and politically sensitive timing can create opportunities for alleged “insider” advantages. Key takeaways ABC News says Gabriel Perez, the teleprompter operator since 2016, allegedly profited from Kalshi “Mentions” markets tied to Trump speeches. Kalshi reportedly detected the trades and referred them to the Commodit...

Warren Asks for 2026 Reporting on Trump’s Crypto Earnings After $1.4B Disclosure

Senator Elizabeth Warren has urged President Donald Trump to provide updated financial disclosures covering his cryptocurrency earnings for the first half of 2026, arguing the information is especially important as the US Senate weighs legislation that could reshape the crypto market. In a letter sent on Thursday, Warren requested that Trump voluntarily release a report detailing crypto-related income between Jan. 1 and July 15. The request comes amid heightened scrutiny of how crypto policy might affect the value of the president’s and his family’s reported holdings. Key takeaways Elizabeth Warren is asking Trump to disclose crypto earnings for Jan. 1–July 15, ahead of the president’s normal filing timeline for 2026. Warren pointed to Trump’s 2025 disclosures, which reportedly showed $1.4 billion in crypto-related earnings. The senator’s concern ties directly to pending Senate action on the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act. Majority Leader John Thune indicated the Se...

Virtual Protocol Sees Breakout Opportunity Amid Increasing Momentum in the AI Ecosystem Expansion

Virtual Protocol is being closely monitored by traders to see if improved technical strength and ecosystem development could help the cryptocurrency move past important resistance levels. Despite VIRTUAL still trading below its downtrend line, constant defense of key support levels is helping drive the accumulation bias. However, the positioning in derivatives markets is also neutral, which indicates that market participants are waiting for more proof before taking more leveraged bets. This, coupled with continued development in AI infrastructure, agent commerce, and robotics, keeps the overall outlook interesting. Technical Structure Suggests Critical Turning Point Virtual Protocol could continue trading below value due to its prolonged correction, according to recent market analyst Tanaka. Rather than dwelling on its price movements in the short term, it is worth mentioning the ecosystem expansion and development plan that the project is building. The weekly chart provides additional...

Sbi Holdings Acquires Coinhako Majority Stake In Singapore Crypto Push

SBI Holdings has acquired a majority stake in Coinhako after receiving regulatory approval for the Singapore transaction. The deal strengthens the Japanese financial group’s digital asset presence across Southeast Asia. Coinhako will operate as a consolidated subsidiary following the transaction’s completion on July 16. Regulatory Approval Clears Coinhako Acquisition The Monetary Authority of Singapore approved the acquisition before the companies completed the deal. SBI Holdings funded the transaction through its Singapore-based investment unit, SBI Ventures Asset Pte. Ltd. The group also purchased shares from several existing Coinhako investors as part of the transaction. Neither party disclosed the investment amount, acquired ownership percentage, or Coinhako’s valuation. However, the majority position gives the Japanese financial group control over the exchange’s operations. Coinhako will retain its Singapore base while joining SBI Holdings’ consolidated financial network. Coinhako...

OKX Europe Enables USDT to MiCA-Compliant USDC Conversion

OKX Europe has introduced a “one-way conversion” option that allows customers to deposit USDT and convert it into USDC within the exchange, creating a regulated off-ramp as Europe’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework restricts support for non-authorized stablecoins. In a company announcement provided to Cointelegraph, OKX Europe said users can send Tether’s USDt (USDT) to their OKX Europe account and then convert the deposit into USDC, a stablecoin that is among the major options compliant with MiCA’s requirements. The feature is positioned as a migration path for customers whose existing platforms no longer accept USDT or are moving them to alternatives. Key takeaways OKX Europe lets customers convert deposited USDT into USDC on the exchange, rather than keeping USDT balances active. The change reflects MiCA constraints: Tether has not obtained authorization for USDT issuance under MiCA. OKX Europe says conversions are initiated at the customer’s discretion, not pushed th...
