The rollout lets users convert crypto to local currency and pay merchants via QR codes, tapping Latin America’s biggest crypto market. KuCoin Pay has integrated with Pix, Brazil’s central bank-run instant payments network, allowing users to convert and spend cryptocurrencies at any merchant that accepts Pix QR codes.  The launch taps into one of the world’s largest crypto user bases, with roughly 26 million Brazilians, about 12% of the population, now using digital assets, according to a Friday announcement from the exchange. The integration supports instant crypto-to-Brazilian currency conversions (Brazil’s currency is the real), enabling users to transfer funds from KuCoin accounts to any Brazilian bank or pay merchants directly through Pix. It also features multi-functional wallet tools for managing both cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies within the KuCoin app. Read more

Btc: 81.6k (-11%) | btc.D: 58.8% (-0.5%). Eth: 2665 (-12%) | bnb: 800 (-11%) | sol: 123 (-13%).

Bitcoin's price dips below $90,000, yet Republic and Kraken ink nine-figure deals. If this is a bear market, someone forgot to tell big money. As Bitcoin (BTC) plunged below $90,000 this week, igniting fresh fears that the bull market may be over, hundreds of millions of dollars continued to flow into crypto companies, signaling that institutional appetite for the sector remains strong. Republic Technologies became the latest company to add Ether (ETH) to its treasury, securing $100 million in financing under unusually favorable terms for the industry. The deal was structured as a zero-interest convertible note, meaning Republic neither pays interest nor risks defaulting for missed payments — a rare setup in the crypto financing landscape. “Republic’s raise, while unique, probably won’t spark off a new normal for how funds are raised in the crypto industry, though it is a sign of a maturing market that new forms of money raising are being seen, and that is the trend that is likely to continue,” Komodo chief t...

US authorities are investigating Chinese Bitcoin mining hardware giant Bitmain over potential national security risks tied to alleged remote capabilities, according to Bloomberg. The leading Bitcoin mining application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) manufacturer, Bitmain, which is based in China, is reportedly under investigation in the US over national security concerns. According to a Friday Bloomberg report, an unspecified US official and six other anonymous people familiar with the matter said that Bitmain’s hardware is at the center of a federal investigation known as “Operation Red Sunset.” The investigation, led by the US Department of Homeland Security, reportedly seeks to determine whether the ASICs could be remotely controlled for spying or to sabotage the US power grid. US authorities previously investigated Bitmain-linked Chinese chip designer Xiamen Sophgo over an alleged business relationship with US-sanctioned company Huawei in October 2024. This was followed by the US Customs and Border Pro...
