News Brief
British officials have confirmed that banks will be required to provide fair treatment to crypto service providers—a move they believe is crucial for establishing the UK as a leading digital asset hub. According to a Treasury spokesperson, crypto regulatory legislation has already been presented to Parliament, and the finalized rules are anticipated to arrive later this year, offering crypto businesses the stability they need to expand. The government maintains that all businesses deserve equitable treatment and argues that crypto firms holding Financial Conduct Authority authorization shouldn't face discrimination simply due to their sector. Therefore, licensed crypto operations should not encounter account closures or transaction limitations imposed by traditional banks. This announcement comes after multiple reports revealed that several UK banks continue preventing customers from accessing legally registered crypto platforms.

PANews reported on January 29th, citing CoinDesk, that British officials stated they expect banks to treat all businesses, including crypto service providers, fairly as part of the government's ambitious plan to establish the country as an international digital asset hub. A spokesperson for the UK Treasury stated that the government has submitted crypto asset regulatory legislation to Parliament, with final rules expected to be confirmed this year, "providing crypto businesses with the certainty they need to invest and grow in the UK."

A spokesperson for the UK Treasury stated, "We expect businesses to be treated fairly. Crypto businesses authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) should not be discriminated against simply because they belong to this industry. We do not want these licensed businesses to be subject to account or transaction restrictions by banking service providers." This comes after industry reports indicated that several UK banks continue to block customers from accessing legally registered crypto services.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.
