</ul>
<h4>Major Worldwide News Update:</h4>
<ul>
 <li>Mt. Gox, once a major Bitcoin exchange, has begun repaying creditors from its $9 billion Bitcoin reserve. Creditors receive updates on claims, including repayment amounts and dates. Despite progress, specific repayment dates remain undisclosed. Mt. Gox's breach in 2011 led to bankruptcy, with creditors awaiting reimbursement since 2014.</li>
 <li>In the Middle East, cryptocurrency trading is surging, with 500,000 daily traders. The UAE leads in crypto-friendly regulations, while other nations are adapting. Retail investors favor memecoins, while institutions lean towards Bitcoin. Despite modest volume compared to global levels, the region's liberal regulations attract miners amidst China's crackdown.</li>
 <li>The SEC aims to fine Terraform Labs and co-founder Do Kwon over $4.7 billion for civil case misconduct. Terraform suggests a $3.5 million penalty, while Kwon argues for $800,000. The SEC also seeks Kwon's disqualification as an officer and full asset disclosure. Pending court approval, these penalties target fraudulent crypto market practices.</li>
 <li>Despite approving Bitcoin ETFs, the US is pushing stringent regulations, including a proposed 30% excise tax on Bitcoin mining electricity. This move, criticized by Senator Cynthia Lummis, could prompt miners to leave. The tax risks stifling innovation and driving the industry offshore, undermining environmental goals.</li>
 <li>Venezuela's PDVSA is increasingly using stablecoins like Tether (USDT) for oil exports amid US sanctions. USDT mitigates risks of seized proceeds due to sanctions. Oil minister considers digital currencies for payments. PDVSA mandates USDT payments, boosting exports. Traders find compliance challenges with USDT transactions.</li>
 <li>A 71-year-old Indian digital artist was swindled by scammers posing as NFT art dealers. Promised a substantial sum for his artwork, he lost $1895 in fees. Despite attempts to withdraw earnings, he was asked for additional payments. He filed charges under Indian cyber laws, seeking justice amidst rising cryptocurrency scams.</li>
 <li>A legal pad note bearing the handwritten message "Buy Bitcoin," famously associated with Janet Yellen's testimony, has sold for nearly $140,000 in online bidding. Crafted by Christian Langalis and gaining prominence in 2017, the piece drew attention when Langalis, offering 5 BTC for the original, decided to put it up for auction. Preserved as a historical artifact, the item features Langalis's annotations and will be unveiled at Pubkey, a Bitcoin-themed restaurant.</li>
