Binance Resumes Full Operations in India

Binance has fully restored its services in India after the platform’s website was unblocked. This comes after Binance successfully registered with India's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and paid a $2.25 million fine. The exchange emphasized its commitment to anti-money laundering standards and global regulatory compliance, marking this as a significant milestone in its operations.

Goldman Sachs Invests in Bitcoin ETF

Goldman Sachs has invested $418 million in Bitcoin spot ETFs, according to their latest 13F filing. This move comes despite the firm's Chief Investment Officer, Sharmin Mossavar-Rahmani, having repeatedly criticized Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Mossavar-Rahmani, who has previously dismissed crypto as a viable investment, recently reiterated her concerns about Bitcoin's value and the industry's claims of financial democratization.
