Victoria, Seychelles, May 19th, 2026, Chainwire Data from MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, shows that TradFi futures trading volume on the platform surged sharply in April.

Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, told an interviewer this week that the administration has cleared a major legal hurdle in standing up the reserve.  “We’ll have an announcement,” Witt said. “I wish I could say more… It’s a breakthrough as far as getting everything in place, legally sound, properly safeguarding the assets.”  The signal follows a similar declaration Witt made at the…

The Bitcoin price suffered a rough weekend, which erased weeks of cautious optimism in a matter of hours. The flagship cryptocurrency was trading near $76,860 at press time, down roughly 5% on the week, after a sharp flush that caught leveraged bulls badly exposed.

Exchanges liquidated approximately $677M in leveraged long positions over a 24-hour window, according to CoinGlass data, the largest single-day wipeout since February 6, when bitcoin crashed toward $60,000 and erased $1.84Bn in bullish…

Lock.com is now available to early access users. The platform separates private key storage from network-connected systems, removing the need for dedicated hardware wallet devices. Hardware wallets have long been the standard for protecting digital assets. But they come with a trade-off: users must trust the device, the manufacturer, and the supply chain behind it. Lock.com removes that dependency by separating the signing environment from the broadcasting environment. Private keys remain on a fully…
