Coinbase’s ‘Everything Is Fine’ campaign stands out in the crypto advertising space by employing dark satire to reflect on inflation, economic instability, and the UK’s financial climate. Created with agency Mother and directed by Steve Rogers, the ad juxtaposes upbeat narration with imagery of decay—collapsing roofs, wilting plants, and fleeing rats—symbolizing the erosion of financial security. Unlike typical crypto ads promising wealth, this campaign leans into the absurdity of shrinking purchasing power and the exodus of high-net-worth individuals from the UK. The ad has garnered praise for its cultural relevance and humor, signaling a new approach where crypto brands use storytelling to build trust rather than technical jargon. The campaign also references data from Henley & Partners, noting a record surge in UK millionaires relocating to destinations like Dubai and Portugal.

Prominent Bitcoin advocate Peter McCormack has launched a privately funded security initiative in Bedford, UK, citing the police’s inability to curb rising crime. McCormack, who owns Real Bedford FC, has deployed 10 guards to patrol the town center every Saturday, targeting issues like aggressive begging, shoplifting, and harassment. He argues that declining public safety has driven families and businesses away, prompting his unconventional intervention. The move has drawn comparisons to vigilante efforts, raising questions about community safety and private policing.

FIFA has teamed up with Avalanche to create a dedicated blockchain platform for digital fan engagement, signaling a deeper commitment to Web3. The organization is migrating its NFT platform, FIFA Collect, from Algorand and Polygon to the new Avalanche-based network, requiring users to switch to Ethereum-compatible wallets like MetaMask. FIFA President Gianni Infantino has also hinted at exploring a FIFA Coin for global fan engagement, potentially enabling purchases like match tickets. Meanwhile, football clubs like Al Ahly FC and Real Bedford FC are embracing crypto, with the latter receiving investment from Bitcoin billionaires the Winklevoss twins. Additionally, OneFootball has launched a token airdrop program, COSTA, backed by a $307 million investment from Animoca Brands.

Spain is introducing stringent cash controls under Royal Decree 253/2025, requiring citizens to notify tax authorities 24 hours before withdrawing over €3,000, with penalties reaching €150,000 for noncompliance. The rules demand disclosure of withdrawal amounts, purposes, and recipients, while banks must block transactions with missing paperwork and report suspicious activity—even for smaller, repeated withdrawals. The government frames the measures as anti-fraud and anti-terrorism tools, but critics argue they erode financial autonomy and expand state surveillance. Similar cash restrictions are spreading across Europe, with Italy and France already enforcing limits, and the EU exploring broader caps. Bitcoin advocates highlight its role in preserving financial freedom amid growing state oversight. The move has sparked backlash, with figures like CitizenX CEO Alex Recouso and Bitcoin personality Peter McCormack condemning it as authoritarian overreach.

The AC Milan (ACM) fan token has recorded four consecutive weeks of gains after hitting its lowest price in February 2025, with analysts noting increased buying volume and potential for a major rebound. Crypto expert Master Ananda predicts a possible 433% surge, citing historical trends. Beyond ACM, football’s crypto integration is accelerating—Tether increased its stake in Juventus, FIFA explores an official token (FIFA Coin), PSG launched an exclusive blockchain-powered membership, and LaLiga partnered with CoinW. Lower-league clubs like Real Bedford FC are also benefiting, with a £3.5M investment from the Winklevoss twins to build a ‘bitcoin club.’ The trend underscores how deeply crypto is embedding itself in football’s future.

Bitcoin advocates expressed disappointment over President Trump’s executive order regarding a “digital asset stockpile,” which notably did not mention Bitcoin. The order mandates a study on a crypto stockpile potentially sourced from lawfully seized cryptocurrencies, raising concerns among Bitcoin supporters about the inclusion of other digital assets. While some view the term “digital assets” as politically neutral, others argue it complicates the goal of establishing a Bitcoin-only reserve.
