Italy Sets Firm MiCA Deadline for Crypto Platforms
Italy’s markets regulator has set a hard December 30, 2025, deadline for crypto platforms to apply for MiCA authorization or exit the market.
Italy’s securities regulator has set a firm deadline for how the EU’s Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation will apply in the country, requiring virtual asset service providers to seek authorization or exit the market by December 30, 2025. After that date, only crypto asset service providers authorized under MiCA, including firms passporting from other EU states, may continue operating in Italy.
Under Italy’s MiCA-implementing decree, VASPs that submit an authorization application by the deadline can continue operating during a transitional period that extends until June 30, 2026. The option applies solely to firms that file on time, and operations must cease once authorization is granted, denied, or the transition expires.
VASPs that do not apply must shut down Italian operations by December 30, 2025, return client assets, and inform customers of their exit plans. CONSOB also warned investors to verify whether their providers intend to comply with MiCA and to seek clarification or request fund withdrawals if not.

Korea’s Woori Bank Starts Displaying Bitcoin Prices in Its Trading Room
Woori Bank becomes the first major Korean lender to display Bitcoin prices in its trading room, reflecting rising institutional interest in digital assets amid evolving regulation and stablecoin plans.
Woori Bank has begun showing Bitcoin price data on electronic boards inside its main trading floor in Seoul, placing digital asset indicators alongside foreign exchange and equity benchmarks. The move positions the lender among the first major Korean banks to integrate crypto markets into daily trading workflows as institutions reassess the role of digital assets in global finance.
Korean financial groups have increased activity around blockchain and tokenized payments, including Hana Financial Group’s recent cooperation with Dunamu on remittance infrastructure. Woori executives have signaled interest in broader digital-asset services as payment platforms and token ecosystems converge, though the bank has not yet partnered with a domestic exchange for customer accounts.
The government is finalizing the Digital Asset Basic Act, which could authorize bank-led consortiums to issue won-based stablecoins. The framework is expected to shape how regulated lenders compete with crypto-native platforms in payments and liquidity management.

MrBeast Expands into Financial Services with New Platform
Beast Industries plans to enter financial services and mobile telecom, extending MrBeast’s business portfolio beyond digital media. The move follows new hires and efforts to manage rising costs.
Beast Industries, the company behind YouTube creator MrBeast, is preparing to launch a financial services platform as part of a broader expansion strategy. CEO Jeffrey Housenbold said the initiative will sit alongside a new mobile business, Beast Mobile, and will include financial literacy features and access to various advisory tools. A recent trademark application outlined plans for banking, fintech, and crypto exchange services under the MrBeast Financial brand.
The move reflects the company’s effort to diversify revenue as media production costs have weighed on profitability. Investor documents show Beast Industries generated more than $400 million in revenue last year but operated at a loss due to high content expenses. The company has been hiring executives focused on sponsorships and new formats to strengthen its commercial foundation.
MrBeast, who has more than 450 million YouTube subscribers, has been expanding into consumer products and technology through ventures including Feastables and analytics firm Viewstats. Leadership said the new financial services offering will leverage partnerships to reduce regulatory and operational risk while targeting the creator’s broad global audience.

Horizon Quantum Deploys Singapore’s First Commercial Quantum Computer
Horizon Quantum has deployed Singapore’s first commercial quantum computer, marking a step forward in the city-state’s push to deepen its quantum computing capabilities.
Horizon Quantum deployed Singapore’s first commercial quantum computer, becoming the country’s first private firm to operate its own system. The machine integrates components from multiple quantum hardware suppliers and establishes the software-focused startup as a full-stack player in an increasingly competitive sector. The launch comes as the company prepares for a planned Nasdaq listing via a merger with dMY Squared Technology Group.
The deployment aligns with Singapore’s broader quantum strategy, which includes a S$300 million commitment to accelerate local processor development and expand national research capacity. The city-state has invested in quantum initiatives since 2007 and is positioning itself as a regional hub as global firms race to commercialize next-generation computing.
Horizon Quantum said the system will serve as a testbed to support developers building quantum applications across industries such as pharmaceuticals and financial services. The move reflects rising institutional interest as major technology companies and governments expand investment in quantum infrastructure.

Ethereum Led Yesterday’s U.S. Spot ETF Flows as Bitcoin and Solana Saw Outflows
U.S. spot ETF data for yesterday showed strong inflows into Ethereum, while Bitcoin and Solana posted notable outflows. XRP continued its streak of positive flow days.
U.S. spot ETF data for yesterday revealed sharply diverging flows among major crypto assets. Ethereum recorded approximately 140 million dollars in inflows, marking the strongest demand across the group. Bitcoin, meanwhile, registered an outflow of nearly 15 million dollars, and Solana saw more than 32 million dollars leave its spot ETF products. The uneven activity reflects short-term adjustments in institutional allocation and liquidity positioning.
XRP continued to show steady demand, posting more than 50 million dollars in inflows and extending its streak to 13 consecutive days in positive territory. Chainlink and Dogecoin also saw modest inflows, while Hedera and Litecoin showed no net flow changes for the day. The distribution of flows highlights how investor interest has rotated across assets with different narratives and risk profiles.
The strong inflow into Ethereum ETFs suggests increased confidence around the asset’s upcoming catalysts and broader market role. At the same time, outflows from Bitcoin and Solana point to tactical repositioning as investors reassess market conditions. Overall, daily ETF flows remain a key indicator of institutional sentiment and capital direction.

Eric Trump’s American Bitcoin Adds $34M in BTC during November Dip
American Bitcoin purchased 363 BTC in November, raising total holdings to 4,367 BTC as the market experienced a sharp mid-month decline.
American Bitcoin, the Bitcoin mining and treasury firm co-founded by Eric and Donald Trump Jr., increased its holdings by 363 BTC in November, raising total bitcoin assets to 4,367 BTC. The purchase occurred amid a mid-month market decline that saw bitcoin fall from nearly $126,000 to around $82,000.
The firm described the acquisition as part of a “strategic accumulation” approach, signaling continued confidence in bitcoin despite short-term volatility. American Bitcoin’s stock experienced a 38% drop following the unlocking of pre-merger private placement shares, later recovering modestly to close at $2.39 per share.
The company has reported strong operational performance, with third-quarter revenue rising to $64.2 million from $11.6 million year-over-year, and net income reaching $3.5 million compared with a $0.6 million net loss the prior year. Bitcoin has since recovered slightly, trading near $93,332.

Grayscale Chainlink ETF Raises $41M on Debut
Grayscale’s Chainlink ETF attracted $41 million in first-day inflows, signaling institutional interest, though it fell short of a major market impact.
Grayscale’s launch of the first US spot Chainlink ETF recorded $41 million in cumulative net inflows on its first trading day, alongside $13 million in trading volume. Analysts described the debut as “solid,” noting that while interest exists, it has not yet generated a significant market impact.
The debut reflects growing demand from institutional and professional investors for regulated altcoin exposure. Compared with other altcoin ETFs, such as Solana’s $8.2 million first-day volume and XRP’s $243 million inflows, the Chainlink ETF’s launch is moderate but highlights potential for long-tail digital assets within ETF structures.
Despite the ETF’s debut, the LINK token remains 39% below its one-year high. Chainlink’s network provides decentralized oracle and cross-chain services critical to DeFi applications, offering reliable data feeds for smart contract execution and asset tokenization.

NEAR AI Introduces Privacy-Focused Cloud and Encrypted Chat Tools
NEAR AI has launched a privacy-focused cloud service and encrypted chat tool using confidential computing and cryptographic proof.
NEAR AI introduced two new privacy-focused products aimed at bringing verifiable confidentiality to AI workloads, expanding the push for secure, compliant infrastructure in an increasingly regulated environment. The rollout includes NEAR AI Cloud, a confidential computing platform, and NEAR Private Chat, an encrypted interface for interacting with open-source AI models. Both products rely on hardware-based isolation and cryptographic proof to ensure that sensitive data is processed securely.
The cloud platform allows companies and developers to run models within trusted execution environments using technologies such as Intel TDX and NVIDIA Confidential Computing. Each request generates a verifiable proof showing how and where it was executed, offering enterprises a higher degree of assurance compared with standard cloud environments. Early partners include Brave, Phala, and OpenMind, which are integrating the system into privacy-first and data-sensitive applications.
NEAR Private Chat provides a secure channel for users seeking confidential interaction with AI models, with conversations kept encrypted and excluded from future model training. The launch also supports migration through compatibility with the OpenAI API and SDKs for major programming languages. NEAR AI plans to extend its roadmap to include encrypted memory, agent frameworks, and decentralized coordination infrastructure supported by the NEAR blockchain.

Binance Introduces Parent-Controlled Crypto Savings Accounts for Kids and Teens
Binance has launched Binance Junior, a parent-managed crypto savings account for users aged 6 to 17. This tool offers controlled exposure to digital assets and early financial education.
Binance introduced Binance Junior, a supervised crypto savings account designed for children and teenagers between 6 and 17. The product allows parents to open and manage sub-accounts, oversee activity, and fund balances while limiting access to savings features only. Young users can earn rewards through Flexible Simple Earn, while trading and unrestricted transfers remain disabled to ensure safety and compliance.
The platform is structured to offer early, controlled exposure to digital finance at a time when cryptocurrency continues to integrate with broader financial markets. Binance framed the initiative as an opportunity for families to build long-term savings while encouraging responsible financial behavior. Parents receive notifications for all account activity and can disable the account at any time, reinforcing a high level of oversight.
As part of this broader initiative, Binance also released “ABC’s of Crypto,” an introductory educational book explaining key concepts such as blockchain security and asset types. The company positioned the release as a complementary resource for families seeking to build financial literacy alongside practical experience.

CNN Selects Kalshi as Official Prediction Markets Data Partner
Kalshi will provide real-time prediction market data to CNN, integrating probability metrics across the network’s programming and newsroom operations.
Prediction markets platform Kalshi has entered a formal partnership with CNN, becoming the network’s official provider of real-time probability data for future political and cultural events. The collaboration gives CNN’s newsroom, data team, and production staff access to Kalshi’s forecasting metrics, which will be integrated across broadcast segments and analytical coverage. A Kalshi-powered ticker is also set to display live probability updates during relevant programming.
The partnership reflects a broader shift toward incorporating market-based forecasting tools into mainstream media and financial analysis. Prediction platforms have seen a surge in engagement this year, with leading operators surpassing a combined $45 billion in cumulative trading volume. Industry participants, media outlets, and institutional investors have increasingly turned to these markets as a supplemental gauge of public expectations.
Despite their growing prominence, prediction markets continue to attract regulatory scrutiny. Critics argue that trading on event outcomes resembles sports betting, and Kalshi recently faced a class action lawsuit alleging it operated an unlicensed wagering platform. The company has rejected the claims, maintaining that its markets offer structured information rather than gambling products. The sector’s evolution now sits at the intersection of data analytics, finance, and policy oversight.
