Wisconsin Targets Crypto ATM Fraud with New Identity Verification Laws

Bill mandates KYC, sets $1,000 daily limits, caps commissions. Full refunds required for fraud victims who report within 30 days. Wisconsin hosts 582 Bitcoin ATMs; fraud complaints surged 99% in 2024. On August 11, 2025, Wisconsin Democrats filed their second bill in two weeks (Senate Bill 386) aimed at tightening regulations on cryptocurrency ATMs amid rising fraud. Senate Bill 386, introduced by Sen. Kelda Royce and six colleagues, duplicates Assembly Bill 384, filed July 31 by Representative Ryan Spode and 10 other co-sponsors. Both bills provide a single regulatory framework and include: Mandatory payment transmitter license for operators; Strict identity verification and collection of personal data (name, date of birth, address, telephone number, identity document); Transaction limits up to $1,000 per day per client; Commission cap at $5 or 3% of the transaction amount (whichever is greater); Mandatory fraud warnings on every crypto ATM; A policy of providing full refunds to victims of fraud if they report the incident to the operator and law enforcement within 30 days. The initiative follows an urgent warning from the US Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) about a 99% increase in complaints regarding cryptocurrency ATM fraud in 2024, with victims losing nearly $247 million. “While crypto ATMs were initially a natural extension of the digital asset ecosystem, a convenient way to purchase through physical terminals, the lack of proper KYC procedures made them vulnerable to money laundering and illegal activities,” said Arjun Vijay, founder of Giottus exchange. According to Coin ATM Radar, Wisconsin is home to 582 Bitcoin ATMs out of 31,439 operating nationwide. State Democrats noted that limiting anonymity could reduce large transactions but, at the same time, “increases public confidence and creates the preconditions for safer use of digital currencies in everyday transactions,” said Dilip Kumar HV, director of the Digital South Trust. Both bills are now referred to the financial institutions committees. If approved, the customer identification requirements would go into effect 60 days after the bill’s passage.

Crypto awaits CPI numbers

Bitcoin remains relatively still, with implied volatility at unusually low levels—indicating a steady market mood rather than erratic swings. Many traders are preparing for possible CPI surprises by buying short-dated put options in the $115K–$118K range as downside safeguards. This defensive posture reflects caution ahead of potentially pivotal inflation readings. Inflation data are expected to show a slight year-over-year uptick to 2.8% , a modest monthly rise of 0.2% , and core CPI rising to 0.3% . A hotter-than-expected number could derail hopes for a September Fed rate cut and put pressure on risk assets like Bitcoin.

China urges firms to shun Nvidia's H20 chips

The Chinese government has advised local companies against using Nvidia’s H20 chips, adding another hurdle to the chipmaker’s recovery plans in China. According to sources, local firms received directives cautioning against the use of H20s in government or national security-related work across state and private sectors. One source added that the guidance extends to AMD’s AI accelerators. However, there is no confirmation that AMD’s MI308 chip was explicitly mentioned. AMD and Nvidia’s China revenues fell considerably following export restrictions imposed by President Trump. But more recently, Washington authorized both companies to resume shipments of lower-tier AI chips to China, provided they hand over 15% of the related revenue to the federal government—a contentious deal that reopened the door for some sales. However, China’s latest guidance threatens to hurt their businesses significantly. Nvidia claims its chips are secure and pose no threat to China’s security Reportedly, some of Beijing’s messages to companies sought to know why they opted for Nvidia’s H20 chips instead of local equivalents, whether the choice was essential given domestic alternatives, and if they had identified any security flaws . In recent weeks, state media outlets also raised questions on the H20’s security and reliability. Chinese regulators have conveyed some of those concerns to Nvidia, which still insists its chips have no such vulnerabilities and pose no threat to national security. The American technology company reassured Chinese authorities: “The H20 is not a military product or for government infrastructure,” adding that the country has never even depended on U.S. chips for government functions. However, similar security concerns in the past prompted China to limit Tesla cars and Apple iPhones in designated institutions and ban Micron Technology chips from critical infrastructure. Still, Beijing could apply a much tougher stance on Nvidia and AMD , though one source with direct knowledge noted the talks remain preliminary. Nonetheless, the latest guidance could still complicate Nvidia and AMD’s efforts to sell hardware. Some Beijing officials also raised concerns that the Nvidia chips might support location tracking or remote disabling, claims the chipmaker dismissed. Even so, Trump administration officials are considering pushing for location tracking, seeing that it could help trace chip smuggling in the Asian country. Some lawmakers have also tabled a bill directing location verification for high-performance AI chips. Chinese authorities aim to encourage domestic chip supply over American chips Chinese authorities are still hoping to boost domestic chip sales and reduce reliance on American firms. In September 2024, the government encouraged companies to prioritize domestic chips over Nvidia’s. However, Nvidia’s H20 chips have pulled in demand from top Chinese firms, including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd, over their strong memory bandwidth. With Huawei still struggling to satisfy local demand, Nvidia retains an advantage. Though an AI researcher at RAND, Lennart Heim, also believes that Beijing is using regulatory uncertainty to carve out a captive market that could fully absorb Huawei’s production. He argued, however, that domestic substitutes were still not up to par even as China sought to push out foreign suppliers. The Biden administration had earlier projected that Chinese companies would see inference costs for advanced AI models jump three to six times if they lost the Nvidia chip. Nevertheless, President Trump recently described the H20 chip as “obsolete,” contending that China already has an equivalent. Previously, some administration officials also supported resuming H20 sales because Huawei already has chips comparable to the H20. If you're reading this, you’re already ahead.

After BlackRock’s ETF Snub, XRP vs. SOL Takes Center Stage: Rotation or Overreaction?

XRP and Solana are grabbing attention after BlackRock chose not to back either in its latest ETF moves. Traders are now watching to see if shifting interest is a sign of smart strategy or just nerves. The spotlight is on these two coins, with investors eager to spot the next big trend. Demand for $XYZ Surges As Its Capitalization Hits the $15M Milestone XYZVerse ($XYZ), recently recognized as Best NEW Meme Project, is drawing significant attention thanks to its standout concept. It is the first ever meme coin that merges the thrill of sports and the innovation of web3. Unlike typical meme coins, XYZVerse offers real utility and a clear roadmap for long-term development. It plans to launch gamified products and form partnerships with big sports teams and platforms. Notably, XYZVerse recently delivered on one of its goals ahead of schedule by partnering with bookmaker.XYZ, the first fully on-chain decentralized sportsbook and casino. As a bonus, $XYZ token holders receive exclusive perks on their first bet. Price Dynamics and Listing Plans During its presale phase, the $XYZ token has shown steady growth. Since its launch, the price has increased from $0.0001 to $0.005, with the next stage set to push it further to $0.01. The final presale price is $0.02, after which the token will be listed on major centralized and decentralized exchanges. The projected listing price of $0.10 could generate up to 1,000x returns for early investors, provided the project secures the necessary market capitalization. So far, more than $15 million has been raised, and the presale is approaching another significant milestone of $20 million. This fast progress is signaling strong demand from both retail and institutional investors. Champions Get Rewarded In XYZVerse, the community calls the plays. Active contributors are rewarded with airdropped XYZ tokens for their dedication. It’s a game where the most passionate players win big.

Airdrops, Rewards, and More - Join XYZVerse to Unlock All the Benefits Ripple (XRP) Source: TradingView XRP has pushed higher for six straight months. Price is now between 2.93 and 3.41 after a fresh 10.36 percent jump this week. The monthly gain sits at 19.26 percent and the six month climb totals 35.10 percent. Momentum keeps improving as buyers defend every small dip. The coin trades above both 10 day and 100 day averages at 3.24 and 3.23. RSI rests at 57.48 which is calm, while the Stochastic reading near 87 signals growing enthusiasm. MACD stays positive. Immediate resistance waits at 3.64 and a harder ceiling lines up at 4.12. Floors sit at 2.68 and 2.20. If bulls clear 3.64 the path toward 4.12 opens. A move from the mid range to 4.12 would add roughly 25 to 30 percent. Holding above 3.00 keeps that outlook alive. Slip under 2.93 and sellers could push to 2.68, about 15 percent lower, or even 2.20, roughly 30 percent down. Trend bias stays upward while price holds over 2.68. Solana (SOL) Source: TradingView SOL bounced between $167 and $192 this week. Over the last 7 days the token added 13%, and the move pushed the 1 month gain to almost 13% too. The rally still leaves the coin 7% below its level six months ago, so the longer trend is flat. Buyers stepped in near $152, the closest support. Sellers showed up just under $202. If the price breaks above $202 it could aim for $227, about 18% above the top of today’s range. Losing $152 would open a slide to $127, roughly 23% lower than now. Momentum meters sit near the middle, hinting at a pause rather than a surge. The 10-day average at $184 is slightly above the 100-day at $178, so the short trend leads the long one. That tilt favors a grind higher toward $202 in the short run, but the mixed bigger picture means traders may keep selling into strength until a clear close above $202 appears. Conclusion XRP and SOL are both strong options, but XYZVerse (XYZ) stands out with its sports focus, ambitious growth targets, and strong community, aiming to become the next big memecoin success story.
