Crypto Influencer ‘BitBoy’ Arrested Over Alleged Threats To Judge Crypto influencer Ben “BitBoy” Armstrong was seen in handcuffs in Florida, reports say. The Volusia County Division of Corrections verified the arrest, which occurred at about 7:18 PM local time on March 25, 2025. This adds another twist to the already scandalous past of the online personality. Though official charges haven’t been declared by Florida authorities, the motive for Armstrong’s arrest appears to indicate threats allegedly levelled against a US Judge in Georgia. Her name is Kimberly Childs. Armstrong himself had even mentioned this possibility a few days ago. On March 21st, he even declared that an arrest warrant had been issued against him. He explained this was because of emails he wrote to Judge Childs when he was defending himself in a court fight. https://bitcoinist.com/bitboy-arrested-over-alleged-threats-to-judge/

Bitcoin Is 'Fulfilling Its Destiny' As World Reserve Currency, Says Bitcoin Whale Trace Mayer Veteran Bitcoin BTC/USD advocate Trace Mayer has raised doubts about the U.S. government's ability to amass a large portion of the global Bitcoin supply, warning that attempts to acquire 5 million BTC could dramatically impact the market. What Happened: In a conversation with Pete Rizzo at the Digital Asset Summit in New York, Mayer questioned recent calls by industry leaders such as Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor and U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), who have floated the idea of a national Bitcoin reserve on the scale of millions of coins. "They would have a hard time," https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44499889/bitcoin-is-fulfilling-its-destiny-as-world-reserve-currency-says-bitcoin-whale-trace-mayer

The decision, outlined in a Friday filing in Van Loon v. Department of the Treasury, reflects the Administration’s discretion in addressing novel challenges posed by digital assets.

Tanzanian Shilling’s 8.9% YTD Drop Earns It World’s Worst-Performing Currency Status The Tanzanian shilling has experienced a significant decline, becoming the world’s worst-performing currency this year, dropping 8.9%. At the time of writing, the currency’s exchange rate against the U.S. dollar stood at 2,645 per dollar, a level last seen in late November 2024. This decline is attributed to rising imports and increased public debt, largely due to major infrastructure projects like a new port, oil pipeline, and LNG facility. Despite a projected 6% GDP growth, the currency faces short-term pressures from a widening current-account deficit and liquidity constraints. While these infrastructure investments are expected to yield long-term economic benefits, they are currently contributing to increased imports and debt, putting further strain on the shilling. https://news.bitcoin.com/tanzanian-shillings-8-9-ytd-drop-earns-it-worlds-worst-performing-currency-status/

Bitcoin-Backed Loans Good for Altcoins Like Best Wallet Token Xapo Bank is the latest in a string of financial institutions that have introduced Bitcoin-backed loans for its customers. This is yet another good indication that the world is warming towards accepting cryptocurrency as a genuine asset. A Bitcoin-backed loan provides access to US dollars without having to sell your $BTC. This means that Xapo Bank customers can now borrow up to 40% of their $BTC collateral for a maximum loan amount of $1M. That’s with zero fees. However, Xapo Bitcoin-backed loans are subject to eligibility and a variable interest rate that’s linked to US Federal Reserve rates. And loans aren’t available to customers who reside in the UK or Australia. https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-backed-loans-good-for-altcoins-like-best-wallet-token/

Solana Faces Criticism—Removes Ad Following Backlash On Gender Identity There is a lot of talk going on about Solana since a video promoting its upcoming Accelerate conference in New York came out. The ad, which aired on March 17, was quickly taken down because it made fun of gender identity problems, sparking widespread criticism.\ The video depicted a character named “America” who was undergoing therapy; the character said he was having thoughts about “innovation.” The therapist recommended that the subject concentrate on pronouns or the development of new genders rather than pursing technological innovation, like crypto, during the session. “America” answered by stating a wish to “invent technologies, not genders.” https://bitcoinist.com/solana-faces-criticism-removes-ad-following-backlash-regarding-gender-identity/

US Department of Housing considers crypto and blockchain usage: ProPublica The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is considering adopting cryptocurrency and blockchain in some of its operations, ProPublica reported, citing sources familiar with the matter. The HUD has held meetings to discuss the possibility of using blockchain to monitor HUD grants, according to ProPublica's Friday report. Two officials, who requested anonymity, told the publication that such an experiment may serve as a trial run for crypto adoption across the federal government. The report said that the HUD discussions also covered the potential use of a stablecoin, but it didn't provide more details on which stablecoin or blockchain was being discussed. One potential proposal could be paying HUD grantees in crypto, some sources indicated to ProPublica, though a HUD spokesperson said the department has no plans for blockchain or stablecoin. https://www.theblock.co/post/345398/us-department-housing-crypto-blockchain
