PARIS, France — Hundreds of thousands of people, with authorities estimating close to one million spectators, gathered along the Champs-Élysées and around the Arc de Triomphe to welcome 2026 with Paris’ iconic New Year’s Eve fireworks display.

As the clock struck midnight, the Arc de Triomphe became the centerpiece of a large-scale light and fireworks show, illuminating the historic avenue and marking the city’s return to one of Europe’s most anticipated New Year celebrations. Crowds filled the famed boulevard hours before midnight, braving the winter cold to secure viewing spots.

While Paris did not stage a large outdoor concert this year, the fireworks and visual projections drew massive attendance, underscoring the enduring appeal of the French capital as a global New Year’s destination. Visitors from across Europe and around the world joined Parisians in celebrating the arrival of 2026.

Security was visibly heightened throughout the area, with police checkpoints, controlled access points, and a strong law enforcement presence to manage the influx of spectators. Public transportation operated extended hours, though heavy congestion was reported in several metro stations immediately after the midnight celebrations as crowds began dispersing.

Despite the packed conditions, the New Year’s Eve event concluded without major incidents, according to local authorities, who praised public cooperation and advance crowd-control measures.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report.

The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
