From tax drama to regulatory wins and CBDC progress, this crypto update is packed with moves that are relevant for your portfolio and the space at large. Crypto Update: IRS Wins Easy One A California investor’s fight against the IRS just fizzled out, not because the arguments were weak, but thanks to a classic paperwork slip-up. Roger Metz tried to stop the IRS from grabbing his Coinbase transaction history tied to a 2022 tax audit.

A crypto investor’s bid to block the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from accessing his Coinbase transaction history collapsed in federal court, not because his arguments failed, but ironically because his legal team missed a simple deadline. A California federal court on Wednesday dismissed Roger Metz’s petition to block an IRS summons ordering Coinbase to surrender his transaction data, marking at least the second such case in a year to collapse before reaching trial. Metz had filed his petition in the Northern District of California in May 2025, challenging an IRS summons tied to an audit of his 2022 federal tax […]

He calls it the biggest bubble in history and says the “pin” is damn near. When it finally bursts, he predicts Bitcoin will surge to a jaw-dropping $750,000 within just one year of the chaos. Robert Kiyosaki’s TradFi bubble predictions Yeah, $750K Bitcoin sounds wildly bullish on the surface, but dig a little deeper into Kiyosaki’s take on this TradFi bubble, and things get way more […]
