More →Minecraft, Candy Crush Among 11 Games in EU Virtual Currency Crackdown
European consumer authorities have opened eleven coordinated actions against ten video games companies over the way they sell and price in-game virtual currencies, the European Commission <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_2018" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">said</a> Wednesday. The Consumer Protection Cooperation Network, which groups national enforcement bodies and is coordinated by the Commission, named Activision Blizzard UK, Crytek, InnoGames, King.com, Mojang, Plarium Europe, PLR Worldwide Sales, Riot Games, Supercell and Ubisoft EMEA in a <a href="https://commission.europa.eu/document/75ff33d4-77a6-4f14-916a-766a8c6c281c_en" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">joint statement</a>. The games are Diablo Immortal, Call of Duty Mobile, Hunt: Showdown 1896, Forge of Empires, Candy Crush Saga, Minecraft, Mech Arena, Gardenscapes, Valorant, Clash of Clans and For Honor, picked for their broad reach, availability across devices and range of age ratings. The actions follow <a href="https://commission.europa.eu/document/download/8af13e88-6540-436c-b137-9853e7fe866a_en?filename=Key+principles+on+in-game+virtual+currencies.pdf" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">key principles</a> the network published in March 2025. Those say the real-world price of in-game items and currency must be shown prominently, that traders should not mix several currencies or require repeated exchanges in ways that obscure cost, and that players should not be pushed into buying more currency than an item needs. Bundles that deliberately mismatch item prices, leaving players with a stranded balance, are among the practices to avoid. Players also keep a 14-day right of withdrawal, the principles say, including for virtual currency they have bought but not spent. Contract terms granting companies the unilateral right to change the value of in-game currency, or to close accounts without the possibility of contesting it, are flagged as unfair. Children are treated as always vulnerable, and any game not aimed exclusively at adults should expect a significant share of under-18 players. It also classes high spenders as a vulnerable group, saying so-called whales "are likely to struggle with impulse control or gambling disorders" and that games built around them face a stricter fairness test. Crypto sits outside all of it.

Currencies that can only be earned through play, and never bought, are excluded too. The regime is aimed squarely at currencies bought with real money inside closed game economies. The acti
Approximately $459,000 tradewiz theft incident, the receiving address is linked to 27 transactions.
CoinWorld data: According to bitcoin.com, the receiving address in the tradewiz incident involving approximately $459,000 in stolen assets is linked to a wallet that had previously completed 27 transactions through the trading bot. Investigations show that the September 30 incident affected 20,933 wallets, with losses involving SOL, tokens, and deposits recovered after closing token accounts, valued at an SOL price of $120. bitquery found that tradewiz trading activity stopped 41 minutes after the main fund transfer began, and about 73% of the SOL was transferred out afterward. tradewiz said the incident involved a private key leak in the SOL PVP export function and promised to compensate users for their losses. The first batch of refunds has already been issued, and claims must go through verification. tradewiz also suspended EVM services for security checks and said police are assisting in tracking the assets, having contacted exchanges for identity and account verification information. bitquery traced some of the early funds to MEXC withdrawals, which later moved to KuCoin deposit addresses. These connections do not indicate that the two exchanges participated in the theft.

Amazon plans to transfer $8 billion worth of Nvidia AI chips into an SPV and lease them back.
According to a report by the UK's Financial Times, Amazon (AMZN.O) is seeking to transfer approximately $8 billion worth of Nvidia's advanced chips to outside investors through a newly established vehicle, in order to strengthen the company's balance sheet. Amazon has held discussions with investors in recent weeks to gauge market interest in the deal. Under the plan, Amazon would spin off thousands of Grace Blackwell chips deployed in data centers across the United States into a special purpose vehicle (SPV). Amazon would then lease these advanced AI chips back from the SPV, which would bring in outside investors by issuing bonds. By transferring these expensive semiconductor assets to investors, Amazon can adopt a more asset-light model for balance sheet management. Investors expect the entity to receive an investment-grade credit rating based on Amazon's current double-A credit rating, paving the way for a broader range of investors such as insurers and pension funds to participate in the deal. Amazon also plans to offer up to 10% equity in the vehicle, meaning Amazon itself would not hold any equity in the entity.
