Strategy Adds 3,459 BTC, Now Holds Over $45 Billion in Bitcoin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The company formerly known as Strategy continued its streak of weekly Bitcoin purchases, acquiring an additional 3,459 BTC<\/strong> worth approximately $292 million<\/strong>. This marks its third straight Monday announcement and brings the firm’s total holdings to a staggering 531,644 BTC<\/strong>, now valued at over $45.07 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average price per Bitcoin in this latest batch was $82,618<\/strong>, signaling ongoing confidence in Bitcoin\u2019s long-term value, even amid recent price volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kraken Launches Stock and Forex Trading Services<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In a major expansion move, Kraken<\/strong> has stepped beyond crypto, launching commission-free stock and ETF trading<\/strong> for users in select U.S. states and the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Kraken rolled out two forex perpetual futures contracts<\/strong>\u2014GBP\/USD<\/strong> and EUR\/USD<\/strong>\u2014on its Derivatives platform, offering up to 20x leverage<\/strong>. This positions Kraken as a hybrid exchange bridging both crypto and traditional finance sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEC Drops CyberKongz NFT Investigation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The SEC has officially closed its investigation<\/strong> into CyberKongz<\/strong>, an early and popular NFT collection. The project revealed the regulatory update on X (formerly Twitter) and teased plans for a major rebrand<\/strong> following the development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This closure brings relief to a space that\u2019s often under scrutiny and may signal more constructive regulatory interactions moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
