The catalyst? Dominik Clemente’s account-compromised by hackers, then summarily executed by Telegram’s support team, who apparently treat data recovery like a joke. No warnings, no second chances-just poof. Gone. Like your ex’s Instagram after a breakup.
Residents will now be able to receive wages, pay merchants, and settle government fees via digital wallets. Because who needs physical cash when you can just… tap your phone and hope the internet doesn’t fail? (Spoiler: It will.)
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.
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.
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.
The committee’s draft, a tome swelling from 278 to 309 pages, now rivals Tolstoy in length. One wonders if the goal is to legislate or merely to induce a national nap.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
