In a move that surprised absolutely no one who’s been paying attention to the crypto space (which, let’s be honest, is about three people and a confused cat), Payward, the parent company of the crypto exchange Kraken, has completed its acquisition of Bitnomial.

According to the ever-reliable (or not) Iranian state media, the IRGC, as reported by Al Jazeera, the vessel was struck after ignoring warnings from the Revolutionary Guard. One wonders if the captain was too engrossed in checking his Bitcoin portfolio to heed the alarms.
