Today, the cryptocurrency market witnessed several significant developments, including notable milestones in the institutional and regulatory sectors. Mara Holdings announced a new $1 billion fundraising initiative to strengthen its position in the Bitcoin market. Additionally, CoinShares has become the first continental European asset manager to secure a MiCA license in France.
In another notable event, World Liberty Financial, associated with Donald Trump, formed a strategic partnership with Vaulta to advance Web3 banking development in the United States. These updates underscore the overall trend of institutional growth, regulatory clarity, and the cross-border adoption of cryptocurrency. Let’s take a look at our Crypto News Today.
Mara Holdings, one of the largest public Bitcoin mining companies, announced a plan to raise up to $1 billion through a zero-coupon convertible note offering. The firm aims to use the funds to repurchase existing debt, acquire more Bitcoin, and cover corporate expenses.
The offering includes $850 million in notes for qualified institutional buyers due in 2032. Mara will also offer an option to purchase an additional $150 million in principal, potentially increasing the total to $1 billion. Approximately $50 million will be allocated toward repurchasing 2026 notes, while the remainder will support capped call transactions and Bitcoin purchases. The notes will be senior unsecured obligations and carry no interest.
This move follows Mara’s growing BTC strategy. The firm recently completed a minority acquisition of Two Prime, an adviser managing $1.75 billion in assets, expanding the firm’s Bitcoin management capabilities. Mara also reached a record annualized mining revenue of $752 million in May and holds 50,000 BTC, making it the second-largest public Bitcoin holder after Strategy.

CoinShares received a regulatory license under the European Union’s new Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). The license was issued by France’s Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) to its subsidiary, CoinShares Asset Management, allowing the firm to offer portfolio management and advisory services in crypto assets across the EU.
CoinShares is now the first continental European asset manager to hold MiCA, MiFID, and AIFM licenses. This triple-licensed structure enables it to operate across all EU asset classes, encompassing crypto, traditional instruments, and alternative investments. The firm emphasized that the license provides a harmonized framework for compliance and cross-border service expansion.
With passported services in France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, and several other countries, the company operates on a European scale. Additionally, CoinShares is expanding its presence in the U.S. market following the acquisition of Valkyrie Funds in 2023. It offers a range of ETFs to American investors, including Bitcoin futures and mining products.
World Liberty Financial, a crypto initiative associated with US President Donald Trump, has announced a strategic partnership with Vaulta, the Web3 banking firm formerly known as EOS. As part of the deal, World Liberty bought $6 million worth of Vaulta’s A tokens in May and added them to its macro reserve.
In exchange, Vaulta will integrate World Liberty’s WLD1 stablecoin into its Web3 banking services. Both firms aim to increase liquidity, support access to real-world assets, and integrate traditional finance with decentralized systems.
The A token of Vaulta has increased by 30% since early July. The collaboration follows World Liberty's recent acquisition of 3,400 ETH, valued at $13 million. The company currently owns nearly $275 million worth of Ethereum and is set to make WLFI tokens tradeable in approximately 6–8 weeks after a new governance vote.
