Amid a US government shutdown with no end in sight, a Republican lawmaker said Congress had only until January or February to pass crypto legislation.

Tillis said lawmakers should act “by the first part of January, February” to get any legislation passed in the current session, which ends in January 2027. Read more

An Indian high court issued a ruling that could impact how cryptocurrency exchanges handle claims filed by users following a hack or other incident potentially affecting their holdings.
