Episode notes
Bitcoin news and bitcoin regulation update. Today I cover Japan reclassifying bitcoin and crypto as financial assets, South Korea expanding its state asset framework, New Hampshire protecting self-custody and blockchain activity, and the U.S. freezing $131 million in Iran-linked USDT. I also look at Stripe’s reported $53 billion bid for PayPal, European Binance users moving funds into self-custody, and the Czech Republic ordering internet providers to block Polymarket.
These stories highlight the growing tension between financial integration, government oversight, and the ability to control your own money.
