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.

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.
