Tonight’s crypto tape is a mix of old‑school finance going on‑chain, regulators sharpening their knives, and Ethereum quietly turning into Wall Street’s favorite blockchain. Let’s start in New York, where Attorney General Letitia James just sent another warning shot to the industry. Crypto platform Uphold agreed to a $5 million settlement over how it marketed CredEarn, a third‑party yield product that turned out to be fraudulent. The AG says Uphold hyped the product as safe and compliant while customers were taking on far more risk than advertised. The kicker: the platform now has to repay misled users far more than it made from the product. The message is clear – if you’re selling yield to U.S. consumers, especially in New York, expect your marketing blurbs to be treated like legal promises. Ethereum (ETH), meanwhile, is having a very different kind of evening. The price has been grinding in the $2,300–$2,350 range, staring down resistance around $2,387 as bulls eye $2,400. Be...

Bitcoin miners, Ethereum whales, and Wall Street titans all found themselves unexpectedly on the same side of the story today: crypto is slowly but surely turning into core financial and computing infrastructure, even as regulators, geopolitics, and security risks fight to keep it in check. Let’s start with the unlikely new darlings of the AI era: Bitcoin miners. VanEck says miners are still “undervalued,” not just as BTC producers but as owners of some of the world’s most energy-hungry, power‑dense infrastructure. The same setups that secure the Bitcoin (BTC) network are exactly what AI companies need: cheap power, racks of hardware, and access to scarce energy. As the AI boom sends data center demand through the roof, VanEck thinks miners could morph from pure crypto plays into critical AI infrastructure partners, opening a fresh growth chapter that has little to do with halvings and everything to do with GPUs and grid access. While Bitcoin flirts with a macro‑driven identity...
