This daring feat took place in the sunny city of Miami, Florida, where the DEA and FBI, with their keen eyes and nimble fingers, outwitted the cartel’s digital wizards. It’s as if they had a secret recipe for catching crooks, and it involves a generous dash of technology and a pinch of good old-fashioned detective work. 🕵️♂️

According to a recent report from the Bangkok Post, the government regulators have, with the solemnity of a coronation, scheduled a public hearing for this sandbox proposal. The crypto sandbox, a term that sounds as if it were plucked from the pages of a futuristic novel, is designed to cater to the whims of foreign tourists, allowing them to convert their digital assets into Thai baht through local exchanges.

U.S. inflation, that ever-present specter, picked up for the second straight month in June 2025, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) reaching 2.7%, the highest since February. One might say, inflation, like a stubborn guest, refuses to leave the party. 🎉
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is holding its ground above critical support levels after recently setting a new all-time high of $123,200 and retracing to key demand near the $116,000–$118,000 zone.
