💼 U.S. government shutdown puts startups and IPOs at risk
The federal shutdown that began on 1 October 2025 has created serious challenges for startups and the IPO market. TechCrunch experts warn that halted regulatory operations delay IPO approvals and affect companies reliant on federal contracts — particularly in AI, automation, and defence tech sectors.
🏦 Coinbase files for a U.S. national banking licence
The largest American crypto exchange has applied to the OCC for a national trust charter to expand its services and strengthen institutional trust. Coinbase emphasised it will not become a full bank but plans to offer payment solutions with transparent regulatory backing and enhanced security.
⚡ New York plans to introduce a crypto mining tax
Bill S8518 proposes a progressive tax on mining companies based on their energy consumption, with funds directed to support low-income households. Companies using renewable energy sources will be exempt, encouraging greener operations and sustainable practices.
🚔 International crypto fraud scheme uncovered in Odesa
Ukrainian police and the Cybercrime Department uncovered a network that defrauded investors through fake crypto platforms. Over 1,500 victims worldwide lost around $92,000. Eight suspects have been arrested, while one remains at large.
🛒 Walmart launches crypto payment service OnePay
Retail giant Walmart announced OnePay — a fintech platform enabling customers to pay for goods with cryptocurrencies. Developed with Ribbit Capital and compliance partner Zerohash, the service will integrate crypto payments across Walmart’s stores as part of its broader digital strategy.
