Why the Exchange Wants to Go Public Now

The post Why the Exchange Wants to Go Public Now appeared com. Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken’s choice to move ahead with a confidential IPO filing, just days after securing an $800 million raise, shows an exchange trying to capitalize on market momentum while U. S. regulators edge toward clearer crypto rules. The timing surprised some market watchers as the company’s recent capital raise implied a strong private-market valuation and provided substantial runway. But the IPO move fits a broader trend playing out across crypto, according to seasoned securities attorney Megan Penick of Dorsey & Whitney. “As digital asset treasury companies are increasingly seeking to access the U. S. capital markets . crypto exchanges, such as Kraken, are also seeking to access greater liquidity through initial public offerings,” she said in an email to CoinDesk. For Kraken, liquidity is only part of the equation. As the industry emerges from a multi-year regulatory fog, exchanges are trying to position themselves for the next growth inflection. “Regulators are moving to bring greater clarity to crypto regulation, with a bipartisan proposal aiming to bring BTC, ETH and crypto exchanges clearly within the CFTC’s regulatory purview,” Penick said. If that shift materializes, a U. S.-listed Kraken could operate with a degree of regulatory certainty previously unavailable, boosting appetite among institutional investors. Penick added that Kraken could complete its offering in “six months or so,” assuming a typical review cycle and updates to financials. But the agency only recently reopened after being shuttered for nearly six weeks, creating a backlog of review filings. That means Kraken’s debut may stretch into 2026. The timing of Kraken’s IPO is also intriguing. Crypto exchanges Bullish (whose parent company Bullish Global is also the owner of CoinDesk) and Gemini both went public in recent moves with shares popping on open. But now, the crypto market is embarking on a corrective phase with bitcoin BTC$85,533. 71 dropping from.

Delhi HC clears 120 Bahadur for release, dismisses plea on ‘distorted history’

The Delhi High Court has dismissed a petition challenging the release of the upcoming war drama 120 Bahadur, thereby allowing the film to hit theatres on November 21 as scheduled. The petition, filed by the Sanyukt Ahir Regiment Morcha charity trust, along with the families of soldiers who died in the 1962 Battle of Rezang La, argued that the film “distorts historical facts” and sought to change its name, claiming it erases the collective identity and sacrifice of the Ahir community. A bench comprising Justices Prathiba M. Singh and Shail Jain refused to delay the release, observing that “it is too late to change the film’s title and release date, or to implement last-minute changes.” The court also noted that the filmmakers have honoured the 120 soldiers by including their names in the end credits as a “special tribute.”The bench clarified, “However, since there is some ambiguity as to whether names of all the 120 soldiers have been mentioned or not, it is directed that the film is permitted to be released in theatres as it is on Friday across the country.”Further, they said the petitioners may watch the theatrical version and, if they find missing or incorrect names, corrective changes should be made during the OTT release. “It is made clear that even for the OTT release, only the names of the soldiers, along with the proper regiment will be mentioned.”The PIL had challenged the CBFC certification of the film, alleging that it glorifies Major Shaitan Singh (fictionalised as “Bhati”) at the expense of the heroism shown by the predominantly Ahir soldiers in C Company of the 13 Kumaon Regiment.

EXCLUSIVE: CBFC changes Rose-mary Marlow to Rose-mary Carlow in Mastiii 4; asks for THIS modification in the Aftab Shivdasani-old man sex joke

The sex comedy Mastiii 4 hit cinemas today and has already grabbed eyeballs thanks to its popular franchise and naughty trailer. Even before its release, there was apprehension that the Central Board of Film Certification would insist on multiple cuts. Bollywood Hungama had exclusively revealed two days ago that the board had asked for six dialogues to be altered. We can now share the detailed breakdown of some of these changes. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “One of the lines from the trailer that drew both laughs and criticism was the exchange between Aftab Shivdasani and an elderly patient. The old man tells Aftab, ‘Mujhe jawan ladki ke saath sex karna hai’. When a worried Aftab warns, ‘Lekin aisa karne se maut ho jaayegi’, the patient quips, ‘Marti hai toh mar jaaye saali’. In the theatrical version, this entire bit has been toned down. In the film, the patient now says, ‘Mujhe jawan ladki ke saath masti karni hai’. Aftab still cautions, ‘Lekin aisa karne se maut ho jaayegi’, to which the patient replies, ‘Main marne ke liye tayyar hoon’.”The source continued, “That is not all. The three women with whom the trio have an affair in Grand Masti (2013) are named Rose, Mary and Marlow. Read together, their names form a cheeky double meaning in Hindi. In Mastiii 4, a glamorous character is introduced as Rose-mary Marlow. Her name has now been changed to Rose-mary Carlow. It is surprising that the censors had no issue with the gag in the second film, released 12 years ago, but have objected to it this time.”Directed by Milap Zaveri, Mastiii 4 stars Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani, who have always featured in the previous parts of the franchise as well Masti (2004), Grand Masti and Great Grand Masti (2016). This time, they are joined by Ruhii Singh, Shreya Sharma, Elnaaz Norouzi, Natalia Janoszek, Shaad Randhawa and Nishant Singh Malkani, along with Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri.

The Desperate Search for Gaza Peacekeepers: Most of the world seems very eager to avoid joining the territory’s international stabilization force.

About 20 miles from Gaza, the United States has taken over a large and long-vacated industrial complex, where it has set up a civil-military coordination center. At any given time, approximately 200 American soldiers and officials are milling about in the facility in Kiryat Gat, a town in southern Israel. They are the United States’ eyes and ears, monitoring the fragile cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. It’s clear that they are not meant to be deployed as a combat team to enforce the next stages of the Trump administration’s peace plan. But neither is anyone else. None of the United.
