An IRS summons compelling Circle to provide data on customers who made significant cryptocurrency transactions has been authorized.

The exchange is working to compensate those who lost 1,800 BTC when a flash crash led to failure in its automated liquidation system.

In a Senate hearing this morning, lawmakers wrestled with the distinguishing features of Bitcoin and the need for clear crypto regulations.
