The Canadian Federal government announced a plan to ban cryptocurrency ATMs on 28 April 2026. The announcement came as part of the Spring Economic Update, a government budget document that outlines new spending and policy measures.
Canada operates roughly 4,000 crypto ATMs, which is the highest number of crypto ATMs per capita. One operator, Localcoin, runs over 1,000 of those locations across Canada.
The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) recorded CAD 14.2 million in fraud losses linked to crypto ATMs in 2024. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, victims reported an additional CAD 4.2 million in losses.
Dogecoin witnessed a breakout on April 30, 2026, ending over two months of price consolidation. The leading memecoin surged over 10%, touching the $0.11 price mark.
At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at around $0.1074, down 2.92% in the last 24 hours, but is up 12.6% in the last 7 days.
DOGE has broken out of a triangle pattern that contained the price action for around 72 days. During that period, the coin repeatedly bounced off the $0.08708 support level, with heavy accumulation recorded below the $0.10 mark.
According to data from HypurrScan, a whale opened a 10x leveraged long position on 40 million DOGE at an average entry price of $0.1077. The total position was valued at approximately $4.40 million, with a liquidation price set at $0.01288.

South Korean prosecutors are pushing for a 20-year prison sentence against Delio CEO Jung Sang-ho. Jung is accused of embezzling around 250 billion won or $181.5 million in customer funds before the platform froze withdrawals in June 2023.
Delio marketed itself as a high-yield crypto platform, offering returns of up to 10.7% on deposits of bitcoin, ether and other tokens.
It appeared to be a stable way to earn passive income for many people. But the company was far more fragile, according to prosecutors.
A large portion of customer assets had been placed with FTX, whose collapse in late 2022 sent shockwaves through the global crypto market.
MARA Holdings has agreed to acquire Long Ridge Energy, a natural gas power facility operator, in a deal worth $1.5 billion. The transaction marks one of the largest energy acquisitions by a publicly traded crypto mining company.
MARA announced the agreement to acquire Long Ridge Energy as part of what the company described as its optimized digital infrastructure strategy.
The deal positions the miner to control a critical input cost rather than remaining dependent on third-party power purchase agreements.
Long Ridge Energy operates power generation assets, giving MARA direct access to energy production capacity.

Cointelegraph reported that the US has seized $500 million in Iran-linked cryptocurrency assets. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox Business on April 29 that the seizure was part of Washington’s economic pressure campaign against Iran.
The move was part of “Operation Economic Fury,” which President Donald Trump ordered in March 2025. This is aimed at cutting off Iran’s funding through asset seizures, bank account freezes and secondary sanctions on countries that buy Iranian oil.
US pressure is spreading across Iran’s broader economy. Bessent said one of Iran’s major banks went bankrupt in December 2025, and the Iranian currency has lost 60% to 70% of its value against the dollar. “Iran is now facing a currency crisis,” he said.
