Financial giant Vanguard Group may soon have indirect exposure to bitcoin through its holdings in Gamestop (NYSE: GME), marking an unexpected twist in the company’s traditionally cautious approach to cryptocurrency. The development follows a series of moves by Gamestop, a company in which Vanguard is among the largest shareholders. Vanguard holds the top institutional stake in Gamestop, positioning it at the center of attention after the retailer unveiled a strategic shift toward bitcoin. On March 26, Ryan Rasmussen, Head of Research at asset management firm Bitwise, posted on social media platform X: “Vanguard buying bitcoin via Gamestop is amazing.” The comment underscored the unusual nature of the situation, as Vanguard has consistently avoided direct involvement with crypto assets. Rasmussen’s comment was in response to Bitwise’s chief investment officer, Matt Hougan, who pointed out that Vanguard is Gamestop’s largest shareholder. Gamestop revealed a strategic bitcoin reserve plan last week and announced plans to raise funds for it through a convertible bond offering. The company did not disclose how much bitcoin it intends to acquire or the timeline for implementation. The move signals a broader entry into digital assets and aligns Gamestop with other public companies, such as Microstrategy—now rebranded as Strategy—and Tesla, that have adopted bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. Vanguard’s indirect connection to bitcoin through Gamestop stands in contrast to its established position on digital assets. While other asset managers, including Blackrock and Fidelity, have embraced cryptocurrency through the launch of bitcoin and ether spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Vanguard has opted to stay on the sidelines. In December 2024, Vanguard reaffirmed its anti-bitcoin stance, calling digital assets speculative and lacking intrinsic value. Duncan Burns, head of investments and head of Equity Index Group for Asia-Pacific at Vanguard Australia, said bitcoin had no role in long-term portfolios and warned of potential investor losses. CEO Salim Ramji, despite prior crypto ETF experience at Blackrock, previously confirmed that Vanguard would not offer crypto ETFs, emphasizing a focus on core strengths like active fixed income and cost efficiency. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Wasabi Protocol has added Berachain to its platform, allowing cryptocurrency fans to trade and earn directly on the network. With this integration, Berachain’s native assets, such as BERA and HONEY, can now be accessed via vaults with yields of up to 300%. Surprising enough? Sure. But what’s more interesting is that the rewards are given in the form of BGT, and all can be done without fees and without a lock-in period. 🟢 Wasabi x @berachain 🐻 The Beras have arrived on Wasabi. You can now trade and earn on your Berachain assets seamlessly onchain. $BERA and $HONEY vaults are now live, earning up to 300% yield with $BGT rewards. Unlock instant yield and Wasabi Points without fees, lock-ups,… pic.twitter.com/ywgiX98d5Q — Wasabi Protocol 🟢 (@wasabi_protocol) March 27, 2025 If you previously thought that staking had to wait a long time, Wasabi actually offers instant yields. No need to wait for weeks, no false promises. Just store your assets in the vault, and you can immediately enjoy the results. In addition, users will also get Wasabi Points that can be utilized in the ecosystem. On the other hand, CNF previously reported that Berachain had launched a consensus mechanism called Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL). This system allows the distribution of rewards through a special feature called reward vaults. The launch of PoL immediately impacted the price of the BERA token, which rose 14% at the time, making it one of the top 100 cryptos by market cap. Quite a rise, especially for a project that is still building its technological foothold. Furthermore, on March 28, 2025, Bitcoin Suisse, one of the old and leading names in the digital asset industry, announced that they were adding Berachain (BERA) and RedStone (RED) to their trading and custody services. This gives their clients wider access to the two assets. If an institution like Bitcoin Suisse dares to put their trust in it, there must be something quite strong behind this project. Wasabi and Bitcoin Suisse are not the only ones welcoming Berachain. CNF also reported that Orderly has integrated with Berachain. What was the result? Orderly-based DEXs can now offer cross-chain order books and higher liquidity thanks to Berachain’s PoL mechanism. For those who are often annoyed with thin liquidity like iced tea in the canteen which is mostly iced, this could be good news. Denser liquidity means transactions can be faster and prices are more stable. When this article was written, the price of the Berachain (BERA) token was at $7.92, with a 24-hour trading volume reaching around $261 million. This figure shows that enthusiasm for this token is quite high, especially after various important collaboration and integration announcements recently. However, as with the crypto world in general, fluctuations are part of the game. The price of BERA had touched an intraday high of $8.95 and a low of $7.80.

Federal officials are shifting away from a controversial banking oversight tool after sustained criticism from lawmakers and the crypto industry. White House Crypto Czar David Sacks hailed a regulatory shift on March 25, highlighting that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) will no longer use “reputational risk” as a criterion in bank supervision. The move aligns with guidance from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and follows mounting pressure from policymakers and crypto advocates. Sacks took to social media platform X to express his support: Big win for crypto: FDIC is following OCC’s lead in removing ‘reputational risk’ as a factor in bank supervision. He explained that the concept had been manipulated to target digital asset firms: “‘Reputational risk’ may sound good in theory, but it was defined as ‘the potential that negative publicity regarding an institution’s business practices, whether true or not, will cause a decline in the customer base, costly litigation, or revenue reductions.'” He clarified: “In practice, this vague and subjective criteria was used to justify the debanking of lawful crypto businesses through Operation Chokepoint 2.0. Banking criteria should be objective and quantitative, not based on the potential for untrue stories.” His remarks referenced Operation Chokepoint 2.0, a term used by crypto proponents to describe what they claim was a covert effort by regulators to limit banking access for cryptocurrency companies. U.S. Senator Tim Scott introduced the Financial Integrity and Regulation Management (FIRM) Act earlier this month to prohibit the use of “reputational risk” in federal banking oversight. The bill aims to prevent regulators from using subjective criteria to influence banks’ decisions on serving legally operating businesses. Republican members of the Senate Banking Committee announced on March 24 that the FDIC will eliminate reputational risk from bank supervision, stating on X: “The FDIC is going to eliminate the use of reputational risk as a component of bank supervision.” The committee said the move follows the advancement of the FIRM Act, which seeks to codify the policy across all federal financial regulators. Sacks thanked Senator Scott for championing the legislation, writing on X: “Thank you … for your leadership on this via the FIRM Act.” On Friday, March 28, the FDIC announced that banks can now engage in legally permitted cryptocurrency activities without prior regulatory approval, provided they appropriately manage associated risks. This policy shift reverses the previous requirement for banks to obtain advance permission for any crypto-related activities. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Haliey Welch, better known as the “Hawk Tuah girl,” has claimed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has closed its investigation on her and the HAWK meme coin without pursuing any enforcement actions. However, the SEC themselves have not commented or confirmed this claim. The assertion follows the HAWK token’s meteoric rise to a reported $500 million market cap before crashing below $60 million, causing significant losses for many investors and attracting regulatory attention. Welch announced the alleged probe closure via comments made to TMZ. Welch told TMZ , “For the past few months, I’ve been cooperating with all the authorities and attorneys, and finally, that work is complete.” Welch’s assertion that she faces no legal consequences related to the HAWK token’s dramatic boom and bust has drawn controversy within the crypto community. Many have now questioned how Welch can walk away without legal consequences despite the financial losses faced by investors. Critics argue that the situation shows a gap in regulatory oversight, especially when it comes to high-risk projects like meme coins. Welch’s lawyer James Sallah added, “The SEC closed the investigation without making any findings against, or seeking any monetary sanctions from, Haliey. Because they did not bring any action against her, there are no restrictions on what she can do in regards to crypto or securities in the future.” Related: Black Friday for Longs? $253 Million Wiped Out in 24 Hours over Binance News Legal analyst James Murphy (known online as “MetaLawMan”), suggested that if the SEC probe was closed without action, it wouldn’t necessarily be surprising. Meme coins are generally not classified as securities, which means the SEC doesn’t have jurisdiction over them. He said that the agency is focusing on its core responsibilities, and if fraud was involved, it could be investigated by criminal prosecutors or state consumer protection agencies. For background, the SEC itself recently clarified that most meme coins don’t meet the criteria for investment contracts it regulates, based on established Supreme Court precedent.

While Welch and her lawyer claim the SEC matter is concluded favorably for her, the absence of official agency confirmation leaves the final status unclear. For now, Welch remains free of legal trouble, leaving the HAWK saga as yet another controversial chapter.
