The events platform embeds Bitcoin Lightning wallets into each event, allowing organizers to issue tickets and accept BTC alongside fiat payments.

The price of World Liberty Financial's token dipped about 7% early on Monday, later reported to be the result of a social media and short-seller attack. World Liberty Financial, the crypto company backed by US President Donald Trump and his sons, reported being targeted by hackers, “paid influencers,” and short sellers in an effort to “manufacture chaos” against the USD1 stablecoin. In a Monday X post, World Liberty said the attack, which happened earlier this morning, failed after hackers targeted “several WLFI cofounder accounts,” opened “massive shorts” against the company’s WLFI token, and “paid influencers to spread FUD [fear, uncertainty, and doubt].” The price of WLFI dipped by about 7% amid the “manufactured chaos,” according to the company, but was trading at $0.1128 at the time of publication. USD1 similarly dropped to about $0.994, briefly losing its peg to the US dollar, before returning to more than $0.999. Read more

IQMM's historic first-day launch underscores how traditional cash funds are adapting to compete in a stablecoin-driven landscape following the passage of the GENIUS Act. ProShares’ record-breaking debut of its money market exchange-traded fund (ETF) last week underscores the enormous demand for cash-management products at a time when the asset class is increasingly being tokenized — and, as industry proponents argue, the shift could help funds remain competitive amid increasing US stablecoin adoption. Money market funds invest in short-term, high-quality debt instruments such as US Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and commercial paper. They are designed to preserve capital while offering modest yield and daily liquidity, making them a popular cash-management vehicle for investors. That backdrop makes the launch of the ProShares Genius Money Market ETF (IQMM) particularly notable. The actively managed fund, which primarily holds short-duration government securities, generated $17 billion in first-day trad...
