A federal magistrate judge in the Middle District of Alabama dismissed a terrorism-financing lawsuit against Binance entities and BAM Trading Services on procedural grounds, finding the amended complaint legally and factually deficient. The court gave the plaintiffs until April 10, 2026 to submit a new filing that separates claims, specifies which plaintiffs sue which defendants, and clearly links each defendant's alleged conduct to the attacks and injuries at issue.

A proposed class-action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California accuses JPMorgan Chase of providing the core banking services for an alleged $328 million crypto Ponzi scheme tied to Goliath Ventures. The complaint, brought by investor Robby Alan Steele, claims more than 2,000 investors were affected between 2023 and 2025, with around $253 million routed through one Chase account and $123 million sent on to Coinbase wallets.

JPMorgan Chase has been sued in a U.S. federal court over allegations it allowed $250 million linked to the Goliath Ventures crypto Ponzi scheme to move through its accounts. The complaint claims roughly 2,000 investors were defrauded between 2023 and early 2026, with funds largely funneled to crypto platforms and luxury spending instead of genuine trading activity.

Binance.US has appointed Stephen Gregory as its new CEO, replacing Norman Reed who will transition into a senior advisory role.

In a Wednesday report, Binance Research said historical data suggest US midterm elections have often preceded strong rebounds in both Bitcoin and US equities, highlighting the 12 months after previous votes. The study noted that, in the three past midterm cycles tracked, the S&P 500 gained an average 19% and Bitcoin rose 54% in the year that followed, even though BTC posted negative returns during those midterm years. Analysts also cautioned that near-term price action may be shaped more by the escalating conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran and rising oil prices.

On March 11, 2026, the SEC and CFTC signed a memorandum of understanding to coordinate oversight of digital assets and reduce long‑standing jurisdictional frictions for crypto firms. The deal sets shared priorities for asset taxonomy, joint examinations, policymaking alignment and confidential data sharing, while introducing a harmonization website and a Joint Harmonization Initiative to streamline applications and compliance. If the CLARITY Act later passes the Senate, the MoU’s framework would sit beneath a full statutory regime, but it already changes how US exchanges, issuers and custody providers interact with the two regulators.

Dollar General, Futu Holdings and DICK'S Sporting Goods each reported fourth-quarter figures that topped earnings and revenue forecasts, with notable gains in sales and EPS.

Multiple blockchains are rolling out or incubating perpetual futures DEXs to pull in leveraged trading activity and deepen onchain liquidity. Executives from BNB Chain, Aptos, BitMEX and Deribit note that while derivatives dominate crypto volumes, liquidity historically concentrates on a few leading venues.
