Suspected kratom derivatives were found in the student's room, police said.
A father and son who worked at a Mississippi smoke shop were charged by federal prosecutors in connection with one of the two Ole Miss student deaths that took place last week.
U.S. Attorney Scott F. Leary for the Northern District of Mississippi announced Friday that a criminal complaint was filed against Yahya Mohamed Mosleh, 51, and Islam Yahya Mosleh, 18, on charges with possession with the intent to distribute controlled substances in connection with the death of Aidan Hamilton.
The father and son, who were arrested last week, worked at the smoke shop that allegedly sold illegal substances to Hamilton, investigators allege.
Hamilton, a freshman from Englewood, Colorado, was found dead on campus on Sept. 21, and investigators found "packages, some with missing tablets, of suspected kratom derivatives," according to the U.S. Attorney's office.

Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: $COIN) has filed for regulatory approval to list perpetual futures tied to individual large-cap U.S. stocks, opening the door to 24/7 leveraged trading of shares such as Apple, Microsoft, Tesla and Nvidia on a regulated U.S. platform.
The exchange plans to offer contracts linked to roughly 50 to 60 major stocks, with trading potentially starting later this year if regulators approve the products, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Perpetual futures, commonly known as perps, are derivatives that do not have an expiration date. Traders can keep positions open indefinitely, while leverage can magnify both gains and losses.

An anonymous trader known only by their wallet address 0x3bca had their $7.19 million short position on the S&P 500 fully liquidated on Hyperliquid as the broader market rebounded on Wednesday. The liquidation was tracked via onchain data on Hypurrscan.
A short position is a trade that profits when an ***** et's price falls. The trader was betting the S&P 500 would decline, and when it moved in the opposite direction, the position was forcibly closed at a loss.

Liquidation happens when a leveraged trade moves far enough against the trader that the exchange automatically closes it to prevent further losses. Hyperliquid is a decentralized exchange that lets users trade perpetual contracts, derivatives that track an ***** et's price without an expiration date, on crypto, equities and commodities.
The Hypurrscan data shows the wallet held a total portfolio value of roughly $7.85 million at the time, with exposure to S&P 500, XYZ100, BTC and gold contracts. The transaction history reveals a flurry of activity in the seconds surrounding the liquidation, including multiple "Close Long" orders on Robinhood stock (xyz:HOOD) at $109.48 and fresh "Open Long" positions on BTC at approximately $76,568.

The Commodity and Futures Trading Commission on Thursday paved the way to expand prediction markets and cryptocurrency trading on certain online platforms. DraftKings led a retreat for sports betting stocks Thursday.
The CFTC's Market Participation division issued a no-action letter, saying it will not take enforcement action against providers of what the agency called "passive software."
These passive software providers include companies and developers that offer prediction market, derivatives or crypto trading services, but do not take custody of user ***** ets.
"Subject to certain specified conditions, MPD will not recommend the Commission take enforcement action against any such provider or their relevant personnel for failure to register as an introducing broker or an ***** ociated person of an introducing broker," the regulator said in its announcement. However, this only applies to the "provision and marketing of software to facilitate trading" between users and registered futures commission merchants, introducing brokers, and designated contract merchants.
The decision follows a similar no-action letter from the CFTC in March, which responded to a request from self-custody crypto wallet provider Phantom Technologies, Bloomberg reported. Phantom Technologies partnered with Kalshi to offer predictions market trading to its more than 20 million crypto wallet holders.

Two former Robinhood engineers allegedly used confidential information about upcoming cryptocurrency listings to make profitable trades on decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.
Hefu Chai, 36, and Huaisong "Jerry" Xiang, 30, each face one count of commodities fraud and one count of wire fraud.
"Today's charges make clear that corporate insiders cannot evade the securities and commodities laws by trading based on misappropriated information in derivatives like perpetual futures, tokenized securities, or other similar financial instruments," U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald said in a statement.
Perpetual futures, or "perps," let traders speculate on an **** et's price—often with leverage—without owning it. Unlike conventional futures, the derivatives do not expire. Hyperliquid is one of the largest decentralized platforms for trading perps and has faced increased regulatory scrutiny.
According to the DOJ, the engineers allegedly used nonpublic information about upcoming Robinhood Crypto token listings to buy related perpetual futures before the announcements, earning profits "for their own benefit" between 2025 and 2026. Each defendant earned more than $50,000 from the alleged scheme, the Justice Department said.

Crypto markets and related stocks moved lower Tuesday as investors braced for two major Washington catalysts: a Senate vote on the CLARITY Act and the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision Wednesday.
Bitcoin was trading around $76,431, down 2.19% over 24 hours, while Ether fell 1.8% to roughly $2,449 and Solana dropped 1.02% to about $100. The total crypto market capitalization declined 1.2% to $2.61 trillion.
Derivatives traders were also caught in the selloff. Roughly $384 million in crypto positions were liquidated over 24 hours, including about $195 million in longs and $189 million in shorts, while nearly $160 million was wiped out over the previous 12 hours.
Crypto-linked stocks were hit harder.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Maybe there is a public embrace to be had by dueling executives Vlad Tenev and Adam Aron.
"I'm open to it, you know, I love debates. I'm open to many things," Robinhood (HOOD) co-founder and CEO Vlad Tenev told Yahoo Finance from the Goldman Sachs Communacopia & Tech Conference (video above).
A fierce public war of words erupted on X between AMC Entertainment (AMC) CEO Adam Aron (known as the "Silverback" on X) and Tenev over the brokerage's extensive use of stock tokens that track AMC shares.
Aron ignited the dispute by blasting tokenization — the practice of issuing digital versions of ***** ets, such as stocks, on a blockchain network — as "contemptible," "vile," and "disgusting," demanding a cease-and-desist order while threatening legal action.
"What's the concern?" Tenev fired back, insisting that Robinhood's debt-backed derivatives do not require permission from the underlying companies.

Robinhood (NASDAQ: $HOOD) is expanding its prediction markets business by partnering with Crypto.com and its newly independent derivatives platform, OG.com, as demand for event contracts continues to surge.
Under the agreement announced Tuesday, Robinhood will begin routing a portion of its football prediction contracts to OG.com's CFTC-regulated exchange and clearinghouse. The first contracts are expected to go live today, ahead of the new professional football season.
Robinhood will also receive equity stakes in Crypto.com and OG.com following OG.com's planned spin-off as an independent trading platform. The stakes will be valued in line with Citadel Securities' recent investment in Crypto.com Group, which valued the company at $20 billion. The deal also puts OG.com's standalone valuation at $5 billion.

CNBC reported on August 27, 2026, that BitGo Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BTGO) will acquire the institutional trading business of NYDIG, adding derivatives, structured products, financing, and other capital markets services to its existing custody, settlement, and wallet infrastructure.
About 30 NYDIG employees and roughly 250 institutional client relationships will join BitGo, according to a person close to the matter; a regulatory filing put the deal's total consideration at about $42.5 million, mostly in BitGo stock. BitGo, which went public earlier this year and has a market value under $1 billion, is expanding its institutional capabilities. NYDIG said it will instead focus on power generation, Bitcoin mining, and high-performance computing data centers, where its development pipeline already exceeds 3 gigawatts.

The deal moves BitGo toward a more complete, higher-margin institutional platform. CEO Mike Belshe said institutions want a partner supporting the "full lifecycle of digital ****** ets, from custody and trading to financing and settlement," and adding derivatives and structured products allows BitGo Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BTGO) to capture more of that lifecycle from each client. This expanded service could help BitGo make more money from its current institutional clients
The timing aligns with a recent crypto market rebound rather than a speculative bet on a future recovery, while BitGo gains an immediate institutional client base. Bitcoin had recently topped $80,000 after months of weak trading volume, while roughly 250 institutional client relationships and about 30 experienced staff will transfer to BitGo. Building that scale organically could take years.

TSLW's 29% price drop looks worse than TSLA's 22% YTD loss, but trailing distributions of nearly $18 per share account for most of the gap.

Andy Baehr, GSR's managing director of **** et management, says bitcoin's $80,000 breakout marks a new market regime. He argues the crypto trading firm watched a stagnant summer flip into real momentum within days.
Baehr spent 25 years on Wall Street derivatives desks, including Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse, before crossing into digital **** ets. He served as the Executive Director of Equity Derivatives at Morgan Stanley between 2006 and 2007.
Bitcoin (BTC) briefly , topping out at $reclaimed $80,000 this week, topping out at $81,272 on Monday. It marked the first time since May that the pioneer crypto tested this threshold.
Baehr had urged patience through what he called a "super slow summer" of thin volumes and muted price action. The stagnation was measurable. Digital **** et funds bled a record $8 billion across eight straight weeks of ETF withdrawals before demand returned.
Then the mood turned fast. News of Treasury buybacks in long-dated bonds arrived alongside a planned White House gathering of crypto executives. Industry leaders were meeting in Jackson Hole as the headlines hit, Baehr recalled.

Langdon Partners' Q2 2026 investor letter for the Langdon Global Smaller Companies Strategy revealed a 9.4% return, lagging behind the MSCI World Small Cap Net Index's 17.0% gain, with a year-to-date return of -10.7% versus the index's 35.3%. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. Despite the improvement, the seven-percentage point lag behind the benchmark is considered disappointing, and year-to-date performance is still below long-term expectations. The market sends signals through share prices, where rising prices indicate improvement and falling prices suggest decline. However, blindly following these signals can be misleading. The portfolio's performance reflected this, with technology lagging and consumer discretionary stocks performing well. The quarter emphasized that market expectations can shift quickly, demanding careful ***** sment of a business's long-term earning potential. Also, check the fund's top five holdings to see its best picks in 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Langdon Global Smaller Companies Strategy highlighted Miami International Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:MIAX). Miami International Holdings, Inc.

(NYSE:MIAX) posted a one‑month return of -5.67%, while its shares gained 22.26% over the past 52 weeks.
Langdon Global Smaller Companies Strategy stated the following regarding Miami International Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:MIAX) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"We initiated a position in Miami International Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:MIAX) during the second quarter. MIAX operates electronic exchanges across several areas of the U.S. financial markets. Exchange businesses can possess attractive characteristics, including transaction-based revenue, operating leverage and network effects that may strengthen as liquidity and participation grow. Our interest in MIAX rests on the combination of its existing position in U.S. listed options, its proprietary technology infrastructure and its ability to introduce new products across a broader derivatives platform.
The company has continued to gain share in certain markets while investing in new products and partnerships. Because much of its technology and operating infrastructure is already in place, higher trading volumes may support attractive incremental margins over time. That potential is meaningful but not ***** ured. Exchange operators face substantial competitive, regulatory and execution risks. Their economics can also be affected by trading activity, pricing, market structure and the actions of large incumbents..." (Click here to read the full text)

Over-the-counter anti-aging supplements taken by millions of Americans to boost energy and lessen the side effects of chemotherapy may actually impair cancer treatments, a new study suggests.
Researchers at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine found that popular vitamin B3 derivatives – including nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide (NAM) – could help cancer cells survive chemotherapy.
Those compounds are used by the body to produce NAD+, a molecule that helps cells generate energy and repair damage.

Crypto bears just had one of their worst hours of 2026. Short positions worth $1.23 billion were liquidated in 60 minutes as Bitcoin (BTC) climbed 2.5% to near $68,424.
Three whale wallets on Hyperliquid, a decentralized derivatives exchange, absorbed $194 million of the damage. The forced buying added fuel to a rally that began in the bond market.
Total liquidations reached $1.31 billion in the hour, and shorts made up nearly all of it, per data from CoinGlass.
Bitcoin positions accounted for roughly $770 million of the wipeout, with Ethereum (ETH) adding another $430 million. ETH itself gained 3.9% and traded back above $2,000, near $2,084.
The 24-hour toll ran to $1.57 billion across 114,038 traders, with shorts making up $1.41 billion. The largest single order, an ETH position on Bitget, was worth $32.18 million.

Kalshi filed with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Tuesday to launch perpetual futures contracts tied to U.S. equity indexes and copper, the company's latest effort to expand beyond its prediction market roots into traditional derivatives territory.
The equity index filing seeks to list a perpetual futures contract — known as a "perp" — on the MerQube U.S. Large Cap Index, which tracks the 500 largest companies listed and based in the U.S., according to CNBC. SEC approval is not required for the equity index contracts, Reuters reported, because broad-based equity baskets fall within the CFTC's regulatory purview rather than the SEC's.
The copper contract, designated COPPERPERP, would be a cash-settled perpetual futures contract referencing the spot price of copper in U.S. dollars per pound, using the Pyth Network XCU/USD price feed as its underlying price index, Kalshi said. Each contract would represent 1,000 pounds of copper, with a minimum tick of $0.0005 per pound. The contract would trade continuously from 6:00 PM Eastern Time on Sunday through 5:00 PM Eastern Time on Friday, with a funding payment calculated daily at 10:00 AM Eastern Time on weekdays to keep the contract price aligned with the spot reference price, Kalshi said.
Unlike standard futures, perpetual contracts have no set expiration, meaning traders can maintain a position for as long as they choose. To keep the contract price close to the spot market, the structure relies on periodic funding payments exchanged between opposing sides of the trade.
A month earlier, Kalshi had submitted a CFTC proposal for perps on precious metals such as gold and silver, according to CNBC. The equity index and copper filings extend that push into additional ****** et classes as the company works to position itself as a multi-asset derivatives exchange competing with established operators.
