📰 News Highlights:

JPMorgan Enters Bitcoin [Source][Source][Source]

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon announced that the bank will soon allow its clients to purchase Bitcoin through the platform but will not offer custody services.

While maintaining his skeptical stance on cryptocurrencies, Dimon clarified that JPMorgan would reflect Bitcoin purchases in client statements and offer access to spot Bitcoin ETFs, joining competitors like Morgan Stanley in doing so.

Despite Dimon’s continued criticism of crypto — citing its use in illicit activities and dismissing Bitcoin as “worthless” and a “pet rock” — JPMorgan is responding to increasing investor demand.

Kraken EU Derivatives [Source][Source][Source]

Kraken has launched regulated crypto derivatives trading for retail and institutional users in Europe under MiFID II, following the acquisition of a Cypriot investment firm.

This enables clients across the European Economic Area to access perpetual and fixed maturity crypto futures directly on Kraken’s platform.

Other firms like Coinbase and Gemini are also expanding crypto derivatives offerings across the region.

Coinbase Data Leak [Source][Source][Source][Source][Source]

Coinbase confirmed a major data breach that exposed personal information, including home addresses, of a small percentage of users — raising serious safety concerns.

Though no passwords or funds were stolen, TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington warned the leaked data could lead to violent crimes, given the rising value of crypto and ongoing cases of investor-targeted kidnappings.

Cybercriminals reportedly bribed offshore customer service agents to access internal systems, demonstrating vulnerabilities in human-centric security lapses.

The breach could cost Coinbase up to $400 million, but experts argue the human risk is far more severe.

💡 Feature of the Day: 

Senate Pushes GENIUS [Source][Source][Source][Source][Source]

The US Senate advanced the GENIUS Act, a bill to regulate stablecoins, in a 66–32 procedural vote, setting it up for debate on the floor.

Initially stalled due to concerns about Donald Trump’s crypto involvement, the bill now has renewed bipartisan momentum.

Despite Democratic concerns about Trump's potential financial gains from the bill — including ties to several crypto ventures — lawmakers stressed the importance of not delaying US crypto regulation.
