Today in crypto, US exchanges are pursuing regulatory approval for a unified crypto fund listing framework, with the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) and NYSE Arca filing a request with the SEC to ease the approval process for crypto ETFs. This would allow issuers to list products without needing distinct approvals if they meet certain criteria. Meanwhile, JPMorgan and Coinbase announced a partnership enabling Chase customers to purchase crypto using their credit cards and redeem points for USDC in 2026, marking a significant integration of traditional finance and digital assets. Additionally, the co-founders of Samourai Wallet, facing charges related to their crypto mixing protocol, plan to change their pleas to guilty in a New York court, potentially facing up to 25 years in prison for money laundering and operating without a license.
