CFDs Broker Admirals Sells Its Australian Unit
Estonia-based Admirals (previously Admiral Markets), a forex and contracts for differences broker, is selling its Australian subsidiary in an attempt to “optimize its geographic focus.” The broker detailed that it had already entered into an agreement with a “non-related party” for the sale.
Italy’s financial markets regulator, Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa (CONSOB), has taken action against the first batch of companies for running digital advertisements promoting “abusive financial services.” This came after the agency partnered with Google recently to takedown illegal ads within jurisdictions.
The regulator blacklisted and blocked access to two websites that fraudulently promoted unauthorized services by using the images of prominent public figures, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and President Sergio Mattarella, along with the branding of major companies. These advertisements directed Italians to other unauthorized financial services platforms.
Prop Firm Funded Nation Suspends Operations
Funded Nation prop firm traders hoping for a St. Nicholas Day gift on December 6 received coal instead. In a letter signed by CEO and founder Karthik S. Rajanna, they learned that operations would be suspended for the next 45 days. While the official reason given for halting “all sales and trading activities” is “a major upgrade” to the company's dashboard, some customers suggest this is a smoke screen.
Karthik S. Rajanna, the CEO of Funded Nation
“At Funded Nation, we are constantly striving to provide the best possible experience for our traders,” Rajanna wrote to customers. “To achieve this, we are excited to announce a major upgrade to our dashboard, designed to bring you enhanced features, improved usability, and a seamless trading experience.”
CFTC Lead Attorney Admits Shortcomings in MyForexFunds Case
The lead attorney of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Ashley Burden, admitted he was “careless and sloppy” during the investigation in its lawsuit against the proprietary trading platform My Forex Funds and its CEO, Murtuza Kazmi, according to recent court filings by both the regulator and the prop trading firm.
Burden’s admission came during the evidentiary hearing, as the defendants' legal representatives pushed for a sanctions order against the US regulatory agency. The CFTC argued that the evidence presented by the defendants demonstrated that the regulator's “mistakes were limited and inadvertent.”
He further highlighted that the “exchange and partner listings [for the stablecoin] will be live soon.” The stablecoin was launched in partnership with crypto exchanges, including Uphold, Bitstamp, and Bitso.
This just in…we have final approval from @NYDFS for $RLUSD! Exchange and partner listings will be live soon – and reminder: when RLUSD is live, you’ll hear it from @Ripple first.
Japanese Crypto Exchange Coincheck Debuts on Nasdaq
The Dutch parent company of the Japanese crypto exchange giant, Coincheck, is one of the few companies in the industry to list its shares on America’s Nasdaq. The crypto firm sealed an agreement with a blank-check company to debut on the American stock exchange today (Wednesday) under the ticker symbol ‘CNCK.’
Coincheck's warrants, along with its ordinary shares, will also be listed on Nasdaq under the ticker ‘CNCKW’.Announced yesterday (Tuesday), the Amsterdam-headquartered holding company Coincheck Group completed a $1.3 billion special acquisition merger with Thunder Bridge Capital last week. However, finalizing the deal took nearly a year after failed attempts.
Russia's Lawmaker Proposed Bitcoin Reserve
A Russian lawmaker recently called on the Russian Finance Minister to explore the feasibility of creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve. This idea aims to provide an alternative financial safeguard amidst the growing pressures of international sanctions, inflation, and currency volatility.
Russia’s financial system has faced increasing stress, particularly in the wake of Western sanctions that have limited access to global payment systems. In response, Anton Tkachev, a deputy from the New People party, suggested that the country might benefit from a reserve of Bitcoin, which he believes could serve as a reliable store of value, unaffected by geopolitical disruptions.
Coinbase Set to Delist Tether's USDT
Top US cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase warned its users yet again. It has announced that it could delist stablecoins that have not complied with the Markets in Crypto-Asset Regulations (MiCA), including Tether's USDT stablecoin.
ICYMI: As of today, @coinbase is notifying European users of the restriction of stablecoins that don’t meet MiCA requirements 🇪🇺
On #Algorand, two options are fully MiCAR-compliant and can be legally used in the EEA by 450 million people:
Coinbase's warning comes as the enforcement deadline approaches for the most significant crypto regulations. According to information reportedly sent to users, Coinbase Europe, Coinbase Germany, and Coinbase Custody International will stop supporting six stablecoins by December 13.
Bitget Eyes Lithuania
Crypto exchange Bitget plans to establish a regional hub in Lithuania ahead of the full implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations. According to the official statement, the company intends to open a local office and build a team dedicated to compliance.
The exchange is already licensed in Poland, Italy, and Australia and has reportedly been actively pursuing regulatory approvals in over 15 jurisdictions worldwide. Commenting about the business expansion plan, Hon Ng, the Chief Legal Officer of Bitget, said: “We truly appreciate EU regulatory authorities for their leadership and vision for nurturing a secure and vibrant environment for digital innovation.”
Kraken Australia to Pay AU$8M Fine
The Australian operator of the crypto exchange Kraken was ordered to pay AU$ 8 million (about US$5.1 million) for illegally offering margin products to more than 1,100 customers in the country. The order by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) came more than three months after an Australian court found that the crypto exchange operator, Bit Trade, violated local rules by offering fiat-based margin products.
Kraken offered customers credit for selling and purchasing cryptocurrencies, which it calls “margin extension,” with repayment made in either digital assets or fiat. Its customers could use this extension to receive credit up to five times the value of the collateral asset.
Revolut's Plans for 2025
Revolut’s bold new strategy hints at a future where FinTech dominates physical and digital banking. The squeeze on traditional banks gets going. The FinTech giant’s plan includes AI-driven banking assistants, mortgages, business credit, and—wait for it—actual physical ATMs. Yes, Revolut, the poster child of the digital-first banking movement, is now dabbling in the physical world.
The message is clear: this isn’t about niches. Revolut wants it all: your mortgage, your business credit line, and even your cash withdrawals. But let's break down what this means for the financial industry and whether traditional banks can keep up with this audacious expansion.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
