The Audit Drops! | Bitcoin News

Bitcoin news and bitcoin regulation update. Today I cover Tether completing its first full financial audit with KPMG, JPMorgan cutting banking ties with Polymarket, Ireland tightening checks around private crypto wallet transfers, and a new White House program allowing vetted U.S. companies to disrupt foreign cybercriminal networks. I also look at growing institutional bitcoin exposure through UBS and Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, plus a new MSCI proposal that could affect Strategy and Metaplanet.
