CEX

CEXs are platforms managed by centralized organizations that facilitate the trading of cryptocurrencies, offering high liquidity and user-friendly fiat on-ramps. Leaders like Binance, OKX, and Coinbase serve as the primary gateways for institutional and retail entry. In 2026, the industry focus is on Proof of Reserves (PoR), enhanced regulatory compliance, and hybrid models that offer self-custody options. This tag provides updates on exchange security, listings, and global market trends.

Kraken Reveals Confidential IPO Filing After Fresh $800M Raise

Kraken Reveals Confidential IPO Filing After Fresh $800M Raise

The post Kraken Reveals Confidential IPO Filing After Fresh $800M Raise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The move comes after Kraken’s valuation reached $20 billion following an $800 million funding round. Payward, the parent company behind U.S. centralized crypto exchange Kraken, took its first formal step toward going public. In a Nov. 19 press release, the Wyoming-based firm said it confidentially filed a draft S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a planned IPO. The size and pricing of the deal weren’t disclosed, with Payward saying it will decide once regulators finish reviewing the filing and market conditions settle. Kraken’s New $20B Valution The IPO move comes just a day after Kraken announced it had raised $800 million across two funding tranches. The main round included backing from Jane Street, DRW Venture Capital, HSG, and others, along with a “significant commitment” from Kraken Co-CEO Arjun Sethi’s family office, though specific figures weren’t disclosed. A second $200 million investment came from Citadel Securities, and was agreed at a $20 billion valuation. Kraken says it has demonstrated “sustained profitability,” generating $1.5 billion in revenue in 2024 and topping that figure in the first nine months of 2025. With the proceeds, Kraken wants to scale global operations and expand its product suite, both “organically and through targeted acquisitions.” Kraken is the second-largest U.S. based CEX after Coinbase, with $1.4 billion in trading volumes in the past 24 hours, per CoinGecko data.

Tesla Diner’s struggles accelerate as chef speeds away

Tesla Diner’s struggles accelerate as chef speeds away

The post Tesla Diner’s struggles accelerate as chef speeds away appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Tesla Diner was already navigating a bumpy road with Elon Musk’s mixed messages of what he desired from the restaurant: fast food but fancy, a charging station but also a drive-in movie theater, retro-futuristic but where even the popcorn robot does not function. Unfortunately, it seems like Musk will need to be more hands-on at the eatery, seeing as how the head chef, Eric Greenspan, has departed to focus on his new delicatessen. The chef had once posted that the diner would be open “from now until forever,” though Greenspan never stated whether or not that would include him in the picture. While the initial plan was to serve people 24/7, only Tesla drivers can order from a limited menu between midnight (or 11 PM, depending on the day) and 6 AM. The diner has been met with a mixed reception from the public, with Tesla and Musk enthusiasts adoring the cool chrome aesthetics, while neighbors complain about the noise and the large movie projector, with reviewers overwhelmingly suggesting the food is terrible. From jam-packed to damn, whack Love it or hate it, the Tesla Diner was filled full of eager customers, with lines often snaking outside the doors when it opened in July. However, as more poor reviews appeared – to the point that Yelp disallowed anyone to leave a review for several months – and the menu was repeatedly tinkered with, desire to try the Elon Musk brainchild has begun to wane. Recent pictures on Yelp and Google reviews appear to show a largely empty restaurant and proclaim many of the same issues as early customers. A three-star review from November gives the “Experience: 5 stars! Food: 0 stars!” Image courtesy of Bob G. on Yelp The Los Angeles Times is reporting that the staff are suggesting…

Elon Musk Can’t Legally Sell The Tesla Cybercab As Promised

Elon Musk Can’t Legally Sell The Tesla Cybercab As Promised

The post Elon Musk Can’t Legally Sell The Tesla Cybercab As Promised appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The billionaire CEO claims the new steering wheel-less, pedal-less Cybercab goes into production in April. But Tesla doesn’t have a regulatory exemption needed to sell it — it hasn’t even applied for it. Minutes after winning Tesla shareholder approval for his unprecedented $1 trillion pay package at its annual meeting, a beaming Elon Musk took to the stage at the Austin plant to cheers from investor fans and board members to lay out his plans for the next couple of years. Chief among them: Cybercab, his vision for a dedicated, fully driverless, electric taxi and Tesla’s play for autonomous global transportation dominance. Unlike its top-selling Model Y crossover, Model 3 sedan or even the Cybertruck – which has fallen far short of the billionaire CEO’s lofty volume goals – Cybercab is to be sold exclusively as a self-driving vehicle, without standard controls, according to Musk. It’s to be priced below $30,000, making it the company’s most affordable model. And according to Musk, it’s headed to market soon. “We’ve got the first car that is specifically built for unsupervised full self-driving, to be a robotaxi. It’s called a Cybercab. It doesn’t even have pedals or a steering wheel. There are no side-view mirrors,” he said. “And that production is happening right here in this factory. We’ll be starting production in April next year.” Whether Tesla is ready to sell a vehicle that’s truly capable of safely driving itself is debatable. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently conducting an extensive probe of Tesla’s so-called Full Self-Driving system owing to numerous accident reports. But leaving that aside, the company seems to be hurtling toward an unforced error. As of this writing, such a vehicle wouldn’t comply with federal vehicle safety rules that require specific types of equipment on passenger…

The crypto market is messy, loud, and full of hype right now, but one thing is clear in November 2025: serious crypto investors are hunting the best crypto presales to watch before the next big move. At the front of that conversation sits Remittix (RTX), a PayFi-focused bridge between DeFi and real-world payments that is already live in beta and pushing hard toward a $30 million raise. Around it, other new projects like Little Pepe, BlockchainFX, BlockDAG, Bitcoin Hyper, and Layer Brett are also building real narratives across blockchain technology, decentralized finance (DeFi), and Web3 payments. Below is a practical, no-nonsense look at the best crypto presales to watch this month, with Remittix leading the way as a serious contender for best crypto 2025. 1. Remittix: PayFi Leader And Best Crypto To Buy Now For Real-World Utility Remittix is the clear starting point for any list of the best crypto presales to watch.
