Coinbase Accuses Australian Banks of Unlawful Regulatory Ban as Maxi Doge Pumps

3 min read

Tensions are boiling over Down Under. Coinbase has formally accused major Australian banks of imposing a shadow ban on the industry.

Executives argue that banks are systematically restricting transfers to crypto platforms, effectively ‘de-banking’ users without a clear mandate. That opacity creates a massive headache (and a crisis of confidence) for retail investors just trying to move their own money. Banks usually cite ‘scam prevention’ as the excuse for blocking exchanges.

But industry insiders see it differently: it’s an anti-competitive moat designed to stifle digital assets. This leaves Aussie investors in limbo—unable to move fiat freely, even though they’re legally entitled to trade.

That tension highlights a strange market quirk. While banking gateways jam up, the on-chain economy is actually accelerating. Why? Traders want assets that don’t need a bank manager’s permission. When fiat rails choke, capital rotates into high-volatility sectors that live entirely on-chain. It’s the perfect storm for ‘culture coins.’

Leading the charge is Maxi Doge ($MAXI), a project mixing gym-bro aesthetics with a decentralized trading ethos.

Maxi Doge Builds Leverage King Culture Amidst Fiat Restrictions

As TradFi tries to gatekeep the market, Maxi Doge ($MAXI) frames itself as the antidote: a 240-lb canine juggernaut built for the ‘grind.’ Most meme tokens rely on flash-in-the-pan viral moments. Maxi Doge? It’s pushing a specific ‘Leverage King’ culture. It targets retail traders who might lack whale capital but have the guts to chase outsized returns, exactly the crowd banks are alienating.

The narrative is all about ‘lifting’ portfolios. It works through Holder-Only Trading Competitions, where members compete for leaderboard rewards based on ROI. This gamifies trading, turning solitary chart-watching into a communal sport. Plus, with a ‘Maxi Fund’ treasury for liquidity, the team (relatively unknown until now) signals they’re building for longevity, not a quick exit.

For traders tired of slow-moving regulated finance, the appeal is the raw risk/reward profile. ‘Never skip leg day’ isn’t just a meme here. It’s a metaphor for holding through volatility to hit the kind of gains traditional banks simply can’t offer.

Check out the Maxi Doge presale.

Whale Wallets Accumulate $503K as Presale Hits Major Milestone

Smart money seems to be tuning out the regulatory noise. Etherscan data shows two high-net-worth whales scooped up $503K in Maxi Doge recently, with a massive single buy of $251K on October 11, 2025. That’s institutional-sized volume. It suggests big players are positioning themselves before the token hits public exchanges.

According to the official presale page, Maxi Doge has raised a staggering $4.5M so far and it’s still going.

Frankly, the market is hungry for utility-driven memes. Tokens are sitting at $0.0002802, an entry point before the wider retail masses arrive. Beyond the raise, the tech includes dynamic APY staking. This lets holders earn passive yield through daily smart contract drops, incentivizing holding rather than quick flips.

Heavy whale accumulation mixed with staking mechanics breaks the typical ‘pump and dump’ mold. With the ‘Maxi Fund’ locking in liquidity and the presale entering its final laps, the market structure looks surprisingly solid at these levels.

Explore the Maxi Doge presale.

Trump Owns $870 Million Bitcoin Amid Crypto Market Meltdown

Trump Owns $870 Million Bitcoin Amid Crypto Market Meltdown

The post Trump Owns $870 Million Bitcoin Amid Crypto Market Meltdown appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. President Donald Trump has quietly become one of the world’s largest Bitcoin (BTC) holders, even as the crypto market faces a historic meltdown. The revelation comes as Bitcoin and the broader crypto market struggle through one of their steepest declines in recent years. Trump Media’s $2 Billion Bitcoin Bet Makes President A Major Investors According to a Forbes report, Trump’s indirect Bitcoin exposure is now valued at around $870 million, placing him among the biggest investors in the digital asset space. Despite the crash, Trump’s holdings remain strong, showing his business’ growing ties to the crypto market. Forbes found that Trump’s holdings are not listed in any official government filings or financial disclosures. Instead, his exposure comes through his 41% stake in Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social. Earlier this year, Trump Media raised $2.3 billion through debt and stock sales, using most of the proceeds to buy $2 billion worth of Bitcoin. The move aligns with MicroStrategy’s renewed interest in buying Bitcoin after not buying any last week. That move gave Trump a massive indirect stake in the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Trump Media’s Bitcoin Strategy Shows Trump’s Shift From Crypto Disbelief When the company chose to start holding BTC on its balance sheet, it represented a radical turning point from just being a social media company. Through the adoption of the same corporate treasury technique popularized by Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc., Trump Media has become a U.S. company holding large amounts of Bitcoin. This shift mirrors the growing wave of institutional adoption. Recently, trillion-dollar asset manager Morgan Stanley opened crypto investments to all its wealth clients. According to Forbes, the company’s overall evaluation has fallen since its Bitcoin purchase. However, its Bitcoin reserves now make up the strongest part of its balance sheet. Trump’s…
