Bull Bitcoin, a Bitcoin-exclusive exchange, announced a deep integration with Payjoin, claiming to be the world's first Bitcoin exchange to offer Payjoin as a deposit and withdrawal option, introducing two new concepts: "default Payjoin" and "Payjoin transaction." Founded in 2013 by Francis Pouliot in Canada, Bull Bitcoin is the longest-operating Bitcoin-exclusive exchange globally, with its non-custodial platform allowing users in Canada, Europe, and Latin America to buy Bitcoin directly into their wallets or sell Bitcoin to bank accounts. The company also developed the free and open-source Bitcoin self-custody wallet BULL Wallet, which has been self-funded since its inception.Payjoin is an on-chain privacy protocol for Bitcoin that breaks the fundamental assumptions made by on-chain analysis companies about user behavior, such as the assumption that one of the unspent transaction outputs (UTXO) generated by a transaction is change returned to the sender. The protocol adds a layer of off-chain coordination that obscures user intent by making the amounts sent and returned ambiguous, thus protecting on-chain privacy without requiring a hard or soft fork of the Bitcoin consensus. When BULL Wallet users buy and sell Bitcoin on-chain through the built-in exchange, transactions will default to using Payjoin, helping buyers passively aggregate UTXOs in their wallets, reducing future Bitcoin miner fees while shrinking the Bitcoin UTXO set size and alleviating fee pressure for all users.Payjoin transactions are used to protect users from malicious actors attempting to glean their financial habits through on-chain analysis. Since Bitcoin transaction amounts are public, outsiders may infer personal salaries or investment strategies, and as a non-custodial exchange, Bull Bitcoin leaves an on-chain trace for every transaction. In December 2024, BULL Wallet became the world's first wallet to integrate the Payjoin V2 protocol, a project advanced in collaboration with Dan Gould and the Payjoin Dev Kit team, with all related wallet and exchange software being completely free and open-source. Users only need to download BULL Wallet, create a Bull Bitcoin exchange account, and log in through the BULL mobile app, with the rest of the process being automated.

According to a case published by the People's Court of Fusui County, Guangxi, in 2020, a couple in their seventies, referred by an acquaintance, participated in an overseas virtual currency mining machine financial management project, initially investing 4,200 yuan and successfully recovering the principal, followed by additional investments of over 60,000 yuan.In December 2020, the involved platform was shut down, and the funds could not be withdrawn. In early 2026, the couple sued the investment introducer and the actual operator, demanding the return of all investment funds and interest.The court found that the virtual currency investment behavior involved violated relevant financial regulatory provisions and contravened public order and good morals, rendering the entrusted financial management contract invalid. The investment losses primarily stemmed from the illegality of virtual currency trading itself and platform risks, rather than being directly caused by the actions of the trustee. Based on this, the court dismissed the plaintiff's lawsuit, and the second instance upheld the original judgment, which has now taken effect.

Strategy founder and chairman Michael Saylor posted on X that Florida has elected a Republican governor who supports a U.S. Bitcoin reserve, and Texas has elected a Democratic senator who previously voted in favor of establishing a Bitcoin reserve in the state. The reasons for holding Bitcoin transcend party lines.In the 2026 midterm elections, Republican federal representative Byron Donalds defeated Democrat David Jolly to become the governor of Florida. He proposed H.R. 2112, which aims to provide legal authority for an executive order to establish a federal strategic Bitcoin reserve and digital asset reserve, and stated during his campaign that Florida already has proposals for establishing a strategic reserve.Democratic state representative James Talarico defeated Republican Ken Paxton to become the federal senator from Texas, making him the first Democrat to win a statewide election in the state since 1994. Legislative records show that he voted in favor of SB21, which aimed to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve in Texas during his time as a state representative. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed related legislation in 2025.

According to documents from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Sun Yuchen and two co-plaintiffs have applied for sanctions against World Liberty Financial and its attorneys, seeking approximately $264,000 in attorney fees and costs. The plaintiffs allege that World Liberty made false disclosures regarding its citizenship in the litigation.The plaintiffs claim that World Liberty initially only disclosed its citizenship in Florida, and nearly three months later supplemented its disclosure to include 22 members in its ownership chain, with citizenship also including places like the UAE. World Liberty's attorneys subsequently argued that, since both parties in the litigation have foreign entities, the federal court lacks jurisdiction.The amount requested involves attorney fees and costs related to the plaintiffs' opposition to mandatory arbitration. The plaintiffs stated in the documents that they would have to refile in California state court; a hearing on the sanctions application is scheduled for December 10.

Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett published an article summarizing the key results of the U.S. midterm elections, stating that the outcomes are generally unfavorable for the Republican Party and the crypto industry. She pointed out that despite over $64 million invested by the crypto industry, it was unable to prevent Sherrod Brown from returning to the Senate, where Brown may gain a leadership position on a committee with jurisdiction over crypto issues. Sherrod Brown previously served as the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee and holds significant influence over legislation and regulation of digital assets.Eleanor Terrett noted that Brown is cautious and even skeptical about crypto, emphasizing that consumer and investor protection should take priority. He advocates for enhanced information disclosure, segregation of customer assets, combating conflicts of interest, and anti-money laundering measures, opposing industry-led lax legislation. While he does not outright reject reforms on stablecoins and market structure, he insists that the regulatory framework must become stricter and not dilute the standards of traditional financial markets.Additionally, pro-crypto representatives Bryan Steil, Zach Nunn, and Ann Wagner were defeated, and Mike Lawler has conceded to Cait Conley, although the Associated Press has yet to make a final determination on New York's 17th congressional district. Kirsten Gillibrand, chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, helped the Democrats secure a Senate majority that exceeded expectations. After the Republican Party lost control of the Senate, Tim Scott is expected to transition from chairman of the Banking Committee to minority leader; the outcome in French Hill's district has not yet been determined, but it appears he may narrowly win and is expected to become minority leader, with the chairmanship taken over by Maxine Waters. Pete Ricketts won in Nebraska, and Andy Barr secured the vacant Senate seat in Kentucky, succeeding Mitch McConnell and potentially competing for a position on the Banking Committee.

Binance co-founder CZ stated that such a large-scale hacking attack indicates a serious security failure.

He believes that sharing details can help the entire industry learn lessons. As a shareholder, he hopes Binance will transparently disclose issues, take responsibility, listen to criticism, and make substantial improvements.
