Bitcoin news and bitcoin regulation update. Today I cover Japan reclassifying bitcoin and crypto as financial assets, South Korea expanding its state asset framework, New Hampshire protecting self-custody and blockchain activity, and the U.S. freezing $131 million in Iran-linked USDT. I also look at Stripe’s reported $53 billion bid for PayPal, European Binance users moving funds into self-custody, and the Czech Republic ordering internet providers to block Polymarket.These stories highlight the growing tension between financial integration, government oversight, and the ability to control your own money.Topics for today:South Korea Expands State Asset RulesJapan Reclassifies Bitcoin as Financial AssetNew Hampshire Protects Bitcoin Self-CustodyU.S. Freezes Iran-Linked USDTStripe Makes $53 Billion PayPal BidBinance EU Users Choose Self-CustodyCzech Republic Moves Against PolymarketToday’s Articles covering bitcoin news, bitcoin regulation, and financial news:https://cointelegraph.com/news/south-korea-digital-assets-state-asset-managementhttps://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/japan-reclassifies-bitcoin-and-cryptohttps://decrypt.co/373424/new-hampshire-bitcoin-reserve-blockchain-basic-laws-signinghttps://cointelegraph.com/news/us-freezes-131m-in-iran-linked-crypto-as-middle-east-tensions-risehttps://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/07/15/stripe-mounts-blockbuster-usd53-billion-bid-to-buy-paypalhttps://atlas21.com/the-exodus-from-binance-that-brussels-had-not-anticipated/https://www.theblock.co/post/408371/czech-republic-moves-to-block-polymarket-over-unlicensed-gambling  Get Your Free Comfrey Owner's Manual Here:https://www.bitcoinandshow.com/the-comfrey-owners-manual-is-here/Help a Brother Out With 5 Star Reviews:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bitcoin-and-bitcoin-economic-news/id1438789088Spotify Podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/show/1dsTluNHIPNsXVRghpqxhYAmazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9ef7d5b6-9137-439d-94eb-8071ec6bf890/bitcoin-and-bitcoin-economic-newsYouTube Music: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWaKxaQF5Q5WiTq80SBYs_7iLDtleV0rZFind the Bitcoin And Podcast on every podcast app here:https://episodes.fm/1438789088Find me on nostrnpub1vwymuey3u7mf860ndrkw3r7dz30s0srg6tqmhtjzg7umtm6rn5eq2qzugd (npub)6389be6491e7b693e9f368ece88fcd145f07c068d2c1bbae4247b9b5ef439d32 (Hex)Twitter:https://twitter.com/DavidB84567StackerNews:stacker.news/NunyaBidnessPodcasting 2.0:fountain.fm/show/eK5XaSb3UaLRavU3lYrIApple Podcasts:tinyurl.com/unm35bjh Mastodon:https://noauthority.social/@NunyaBidnessSupport Bitcoin And . . . on Patreon: patreon.com/BitcoinAndPodcastFind Lightning Network Channel partners here:https://t.me/+bj-7w_ePsANlOGEx (Nodestrich)https://t.me/plebnet (Plebnet)Music by:Flutey Funk Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensecreativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
