WazirX Launches INR Crypto Futures with India’s Lowest Fees Post-Hack Recovery

The platform officially launched on May 13th with low fees: makers pay 0.02% and takers pay 0.04%. There’s no minimum trading volume required. While the official announcement doesn’t mention a limit on leverage, promotional posts on X indicate up to 10x leverage is available for BTC/INR and ETH/INR perpetual contracts. This is lower than the 20x leverage offered during the early access period in March 2026. More trading pairs will be added gradually, based on market demand, risk controls, and how prepared users are.

Bitcoin ETFs Bleed $233M as CPI Shock Rattles Crypto Markets

On Wednesday, the cryptocurrency began trading around $80,900. This followed a relatively calm Tuesday where it decreased slightly, about 0.5%, from the previous day. Trading activity remained low, and the price couldn’t break past the $82,000 level, which has limited price increases recently.

21Shares’ Hyperliquid ETFs: Staking’s New Frontier?

According to a statement, the new products are the 21Shares Hyperliquid ETF (ticker: THYP) and the 21Shares 2x Long Hyperliquid ETF (ticker: TXXH). These funds promise investors a “regulated” way to dabble in HYPE without actually holding the token-like ordering a ghost to dinner and expecting it to pay the bill.

Crypto Chaos: 100+ Amendments Threaten to Derail CLARITY Act

What began as a seemingly straightforward committee markup has devolved into a full-scale legislative circus. According to Politico, committee members have filed over 100 amendments to the bill, because nothing says “clarity” like adding 100+ layers of complexity. Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett revealed on X that Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) alone submitted over 40 amendments, presumably while muttering, “I told you so” under her breath.

Crypto Chaos: Laws, Losses and Sceptre‑Slinging, All in a Day’s Work

Tale of the CLARITY Act: the Senate’s whistling wizards of law had finally finished a 309‑page scroll, double‑checked to ensure it didn’t turn into a novelty paper. The clerks of justice, armed with glitter and a nudge from Tim Scott, had primed the act for a markup showdown on the 15th. “Will you grant us clarity?” they asked the gnarled deck of signatories.

Love, Lies, and Millions: How a Digital Casanova Stole a City’s Fortune (Spoiler: Not With Roses)

Federal scrolls of indictment allege that this modern Romeo orchestrated a symphony of deceit, siphoning a small nation’s ransom-$1.3 million-from Norfolk’s municipal vaults. The victims? Six maidens of the digital age, their hearts ensnared by pixels and sweet nothings, who dutifully ferried gold to phantom lovers. (One assumes the love language was “ACH transfers” and “cryptocurrency,” forgoing the usual sonnets.)

Labor Unions Demand Changes to CLARITY Act Ahead of May 14 Deadline

As a researcher, I’ve been following the debate around this legislation, and several unions have voiced strong concerns directly to senators. Their main point, as I understand it, is that the bill could jeopardize workers’ retirement security. They argue it would create unnecessary instability in retirement plans, particularly for those who don’t have much say in how their savings are invested.

KRW1’s Grand Ballet with Aptos: A Stablecoin Saga

This strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is not merely a handshake but a grand jeté into the realm of on-chain commerce, where KRW1 aspires to waltz beyond its Ethereum-compatible confines. Aptos, with its Move ecosystem, shall be the stage upon which this stablecoin performs its most ambitious routine yet. Will it be a standing ovation or a graceless stumble? Only time will tell.

CFTC vs. Ohio: A Prediction Market Love Story

CFTC Chairman Michael Selig, who probably looks at Ohio’s ruling like you’d look at a coworker who took the last donut, called the judge’s decision a “narrow view” of federal power. Because nothing says “narrow” like a 100-page legal brief written in Comic Sans.
