Bitcoin fell below $73, 000 after a surge of Iranian strikes that pushed oil higher and shook risk appetite. Two days of heavy withdrawals from Bitcoin spot ETFs have erased more than $1 billion, the largest loss since January. The slump spread to other major coins: Ethereum slipped under $2, 000 fo

Alaska is rich in natural resources but poor in leadership. Over half of its residents feel the state is heading in the wrong direction.

Starting June 30, crypto companies in Europe must have special licenses to keep operating legally. France is leading the charge, warning firms that ignoring the deadline could mean being banned from the EU market entirely. Regulators argue the new rules—part of a broader EU-wide system called MiCA—a
