Acting CFTC chair confirms push to launch leveraged spot crypto trading on regulated exchanges – TradingView

Caroline Pham, acting chair of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), confirmed a report from CoinDesk that the agency is in direct talks with regulated exchanges to launch spot crypto trading, including leveraged offerings, as soon as next month. 
Pham confirmed the report in a post on X, writing, "True," in reference to the CoinDesk report published Sunday morning, even as the federal government shutdown delays other crypto policy initiatives. 
According to the report, Pham has held talks with CFTC-regulated designated contracts markets (DCMs) exchanges, a list that includes finance giants CME, Cboe Futures Exchange, and ICE Futures along with crypto-native firms like Coinbase Derivatives and prediction markets Kalshi and Polymarket US, about launching spot crypto trading products involving margin, leverage, and financing. 
"As we continue to work with Congress on bringing legislative clarity to these markets, we are also using existing authorities to swiftly implement recommendations in the President's Working Group on Digital Asset Markets report," Pham told CoinDesk in a statement.
The initiative marks a significant shift in how U.S. regulators are approaching crypto markets. Rather than waiting for Congressional action to grant the CFTC explicit authority over spot crypto markets, Pham is leveraging existing provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act that require retail trading of commodities with leverage, margin, or financing to occur on regulated exchanges.
Leveraged spot crypto trading would allow investors to borrow funds to amplify their positions in digital assets like bitcoin and ether, potentially multiplying both gains and losses. In these products, traders typically put up a portion of the total trade value as collateral, known as margin, while the exchange or broker provides financing for the remainder. For example, with 5x leverage, a trader could control $5,000 worth of bitcoin with just $1,000 of their own capital.
While such products have been widely available on offshore crypto exchanges for years, offering them on CFTC-regulated platforms would bring institutional-grade oversight, risk management standards, and investor protections to leveraged crypto trading in the U.S. market for the first time.
Turnover at the CFTC?
Though the CFTC typically has five commissioners, usually representing different political affiliations, Pham is currently the sole commissioner, with the other seats vacant, giving her increased authority to steer the federal agency. 
Pham is moving forward despite the government shutdown's delay of the expected confirmation of Trump nominee Mike Selig, currently chief counsel for the SEC's Crypto Task Force, as head of the agency. Selig was selected by Trump after the President's previous nominee, Brian Quintenz, was dropped from consideration after some high-profile members of the crypto industry lobbied against his appointment, including a16z crypto and Gemini founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss.
According to the CoinDesk report, Pham is expected to join global crypto payments firm MoonPay as chief legal officer and chief administrative officer following her CFTC tenure. Pham's confirmation post did not specifically address the MoonPay plans mentioned in the CoinDesk report; The Block could not immediately reach Pham or the CFTC for comment. 
The initiative also aligns with a September joint guidance from the SEC and CFTC, which clarified that registered exchanges are not prohibited from facilitating trading of certain spot commodity products, including crypto assets.
"The joint statement from the SEC and CFTC today gives major U.S. exchanges the green light to offer spot trading on leading digital assets," Two Prime Digital Assets CEO Alexander Blume said in an email to The Block at the time. "This opens the door for even more mainstream adoption, granting direct access to these commodity assets at venues where trillions of dollars already reside."

Blythe lottery player wins $16,000 in online game – WRDW

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – A Blythe lottery player is among the latest winners in the Georgia Lottery.
The player was among several winning five-figure prizes playing Georgia Lottery Diggi Games this week on the lottery’s mobile app and website:
Springtime means animals are multiplying, and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources wants you to know what to do and not do if you see a baby animal.
Also, a Georgia lottery player hit the jackpot for $261,344 in Tuesday’s Fantasy 5 drawing. The lucky ticket was purchased at QuikTrip, 600 S. Marietta Parkway in  Marietta.
The winning ticket matched all five winning numbers, which were 16-24-30-36-37.
Winners in Georgia have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes. As with all Georgia Lottery games, proceeds from Fantasy 5 and Diggi Games benefit education in Georgia.
Ga. Gov. Brian Kemp signed his latest legislative achievement, a measure his office says will deliver more than $1 billion in tax cuts and relief.
Fantasy 5 tickets can be purchased at Georgia Lottery retailers or online, while Diggi games are exclusively online.

Ravi Mohan Studios Announces 10 Films in Two Years, Including Actor’s Directorial Debut – The Hollywood Reporter India

Suggested Topics :
Yogi Babu will star in Ravi Mohan's debut directorial, 'An Ordinary Man'.

Tamil actor Ravi Mohan has launched his production banner, Ravi Mohan Studios, which is set to roll out 10 feature films in the next two years, including Mohan's directorial debut. The announcements were made at a launch event held in Chennai on Tuesday, August 26. It was graced by several top actors including Sivakarthikeyan, Karthi, Shivarajkumar, Karthi, Genelia and Riteish Deshmukh, SJ Suryah, Atharvaa Murali and others.

The maiden offering from Ravi Mohan Studios is a feature film titled Bro Code directed by Karthik Yogi, known for comedies like Vadakkupatti Ramasamy (2024) and Dikkiloona (2021). While SJ Suryah features in a key role, actors Sri Gouri Priya, Shraddha Srinath, Arjun Ashokan, and Malavika Manoj have also joined the ensemble cast.
Following Bro Code, Ravi Mohan is set to helm his first directorial venture, titled An Ordinary Man, which will mark the banner’s second feature production. The film will star Yogi Babu in the lead role, with production expected to begin soon.

In addition to these projects, Ravi revealed that eight more films are currently in pre-production, scheduled for release between 2025 and 2027 — one film in 2025, three in 2026, and four in 2027. The banner is also venturing into OTT content, with two fiction and two non-fiction projects lined up for 2026 and 2027.

On the music front, the studio announced plans to collaborate with 10 indie artists between 2025 and 2027, offering a platform to emerging talent and fresh voices.
Addressing the media, Ravi Mohan took a moment to acknowledge and clarify the negative press surrounding him, stating, “I have been facing some negative publicity in the recent past. There were even reports that my assets had been frozen. But when people asked me about this, I told them my assets are perfectly fine.”

Currently, Ravi Mohan awaits the release of Genie. He is also working on Parasakthi, directed by Sudha Kongara and starring Sivakarthikeyan.

EuroMillions jackpot rolls over again as UK’s largest ever prize is unclaimed – The Independent

Friday’s jackpot will be an estimated £208 million and would be the largest prize awarded in the UK

Whether it’s investigating the financials of Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, ‘The A Word’, which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
The biggest lottery prize the UK has seen could still be won after Tuesday’s EuroMillions draw had no winners.
Friday’s jackpot will be an estimated £208 million and would be the largest prize awarded in the UK, National Lottery operator Allwyn said.
The total prize money has now been capped, meaning prize pots in the next winning tier will be boosted.
Any money in the next draw that would have gone into the jackpot will now boost prizes in the second tier, meaning multiple UK players could potentially bank large prizes for matching the five main numbers and one Lucky Star.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, said this Friday’s EuroMillions will be “even bigger”.
“Not only will we see the £208 million EuroMillions jackpot up for grabs – which would make the biggest-ever National Lottery winner – but there will also be an incredible 13 guaranteed UK millionaires made through EuroMillions Millionaire Maker,” he said.
“That’s a not-so-unlucky Friday 13th for the lucky ticket-holders who end up bagging these life-changing prizes.
“Get your tickets early to ensure you’ll be in with a chance of a massive life-changing win.”
He added: “The EuroMillions jackpot is now capped, so any money that would have gone into increasing the jackpot now boosts prizes in the next winning prize tier, meaning that we could see multiple UK players banking huge prizes for matching just the five main numbers and one Lucky Star.”
In Tuesday’s draw one UK player became a millionaire after matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star, winning £4.53 million.
The main EuroMillions winning numbers were 19, 36, 39, 40, 45 and the Lucky Stars were 05, 06.
One player won the £500,000 Thunderball jackpot by matching the five Thunderball numbers, 07, 15, 24, 25, 32, and the Thunderball number 04.
In Friday’s draw, seven players won the second-tier prize, entitling them to winnings of more than £2m each. A total of 18 ticket-holders correctly chose the main five numbers without a Lucky Star, a feat which could see them each collect more than £17,000.
An anonymous UK ticket-holder won the existing record jackpot of £195m on 19 July 2022.
Just two months earlier Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, won £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw on 10 May 2022.
The UK’s third biggest win came after an anonymous ticket-holder scooped the £177m jackpot in the draw on 26 November last year, while the biggest this year was £83m in January.
