The twice-oversubscribed facility underscores rising institutional demand for Bitcoin-backed credit and inflation-resistant yield products. Digital asset lender Ledn has tapped Swiss crypto bank Sygnum to refinance its $50 million Bitcoin-backed loan, in a deal that the companies say opens the door to tokenized, Bitcoin-collateralized investment opportunities. While the refinancing matches Ledn’s $50 million syndicated loan from 2024, the latest facility was twice oversubscribed, the companies said Wednesday.  An oversubscribed loan offering indicates that investor demand exceeds the available loan allocation, often signaling strong institutional interest. In such cases, investors may receive only a fraction of their requested allocation, or the issuer may increase the loan size to accommodate more capital. Read more

A black-clad gunman killed two children and wounded 17 other people on Wednesday when he opened fire on students attending Mass at a Minneapolis Catholic school, authorities said. The assailant, a man in his early 20s, fired dozens of rounds through the church windows and then took his own life, officials said. He was armed with a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol, they said. “This was a deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshipping. The sheer cruelty and cowardice of firing into a church full of children is absolutely incomprehensible,” Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told reporters. The shooting occurred two days after school started at Annunciation Catholic School, a private elementary school with about 395 students, connected to a Roman Catholic church in a residential area in the southeast part of Minnesota’s largest city. Local TV showed parents ducking under yellow police crime tape and leading students out of the school. Police and first responders work at the sce...

At least 25 people were killed and 27 injured when a bus overturned in eastern Afghanistan on Wednesday, authorities told AFP, a week after the country’s deadliest road accident in years. The crash happened “due to the driver’s negligence” on a highway near the capital Kabul, leading to the southern city of Kandahar, interior ministry spokesman Abdul Mateen Qani said. Qani said 25 people were killed and 27 were being treated at hospitals for injuries, the extent of which was not specified. Deadly traffic crashes are common in Afghanistan, due in part to poor roads after decades of conflict, dangerous driving on highways and a lack of regulation. Last Tuesday, 78 people, including more than a dozen children, were killed in western Herat province when a bus carrying migrants returning from Iran collided with a motorcycle and a truck, according to authorities. In December last year, two bus accidents involving a fuel tanker and a truck on a highway through central Afghanistan killed at least 52.
