This jump surprised almost no one. ETF flow data has been turning green for two straight days, with both BlackRock and Fidelity stepping back in. SOL and BNB followed with the same 3% gains, adding to the sense that the worst may have already passed for the crypto market.

Enjoyed this article? Share it with your friends! A new proposal was brought before Australia’s Parliament on November 26 that sets out to impose financial regulation on cryptocurrency operators. Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino submitted the Corporations Amendment (Digital Assets Framework) Bill 2025, which requires crypto exchanges and digital asset custody services to obtain an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) under the Corporations Act.This change means these businesses will be overseen primarily by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) rather than being registered solely with AUSTRAC.

USD/JPY has started to ease lower in recent sessions, taking cues from a shift in BOJ rhetoric. The timing of the shift appears to coincide with Takaichi-Ueda meeting last week.

Russell Crowe is remembering his old friend and neighbour, radio personality John Laws, after farewelling him at his funeral last week.Speaking to Tim Blackwell from the Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel show on Nova FM, the 61-year-old remembered what it was like living one floor up from the radio legend for 23 years.”My memories are not necessarily of John Laws the public figure or John Laws the man on the radio. They’re just my neighbour that I’d chat with in the car park, and he would always be asking after my sons,” said Crowe.Russell Crowe was late radio icon John Laws’…

Although based on the 2020 novel ​‘Box Hill’ by Adam Mars-Jones, Harry Lighton’s Pillion is mostly unrecognisable from its source material, retaining only a few crucial details. Gone is the 1970s Surrey setting, along with the first-person narration and reckoning with queer identity at the height of the AIDS crisis. Kept are the names – Colin and Ray – and the latter’s ties to the local BDSM biker community, but where Mars-Jones’ novel skewed heartbreaking, this loose adaptation is broadly buoyant, as the mild-mannered traffic warden Colin (Harry Melling) finds himself entangled in a dominant/​submissive relationship with the near monosyllabic Ray (Alexander…

In a recent analysis gone viral, financial blogger Michael W. Green traced how modern American families can earn anywhere from $40,000 to $100,000 and still fall further behind. The argument is devastatingly simple: the mathematical parameters defining “poverty” are built upon a benchmark drawn in 1963, multiplied by three, and only lightly adjusted for inflation. Everything else — childcare, healthcare, housing, transportation, and the structural design of the welfare state — has transformed beyond recognition. The result is a system in which the official poverty line tells us less about deprivation than it does about starvation. And once you trace…

Liverpool manager Arne Slot admitted his side must “face where we are” following a 4-1 Champions League defeat to PSV at Anfield that condemned the Reds to a ninth defeat in 12 matches in all competitions. Slot’s team were hoping to bounce back from a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Nottingham Forest on Saturday but instead suffered further misery as an early Ivan Perisic penalty, followed by a Guus Til goal and Couhaib Driouech brace in the second-half put Liverpool on their worst run of results in more than 70 years. Dominik Szoboszlai had equalised before the break but…
