Ferrari to launch digital token to let fans bid on its Le Mans-winning race car
Ferrari is entering the cryptocurrency world with plans to launch a digital token that will allow its wealthiest fans to bid on one of its most iconic racing cars, the Ferrari 499P, a Le Mans-winning endurance model.
The Italian carmaker will issue the “Token Ferrari 499P” in partnership with fintech firm Conio, aimed exclusively at members of its Hyperclub, a private network of 100 elite clients with a passion for endurance racing, according to a Saturday report by Reuters.
“This is about strengthening the sense of belonging among our most loyal customers,” Enrico Galliera, Ferrari’s chief marketing and commercial officer, reportedly said.
Holders of the token will be able to trade among themselves and participate in exclusive auctions, including one for the 499P. The initiative is set to debut alongside the 2027 World Endurance Championship season.
Rumble to roll out Bitcoin tips for content creators in December
Video-sharing platform Rumble is preparing to roll out Bitcoin tipping for its more than 51 million monthly active users, the company’s CEO Chris Pavlovski announced on Friday.
Rumble has teamed up with stablecoin issuer Tether to enable Bitcoin (BTC) tipping, Pavlovski said onstage at the Plan ₿ Forum in Lugano, Switzerland.
Also onstage was Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, who expects a full rollout by early to mid-December once small bugs are fixed and the UX is finessed.

The integration could play a crucial role in pushing Bitcoin payments adoption, given the size of Rumble’s audience and its anti-censorship stance, which resonates with many in the Bitcoin community.
Ardoino said the Bitcoin tips will offer content creators the security they need without fear of being debanked for what they post.
Crypto.com pushes for federal footing with US trust bank charter application
Crypto.com is the latest crypto company to apply for a US National Trust Bank Charter, seeking federal approval to expand its custody and staking services nationwide.
In a Friday announcement, the Singapore-based crypto exchange said it plans to provide federally regulated custody services for digital asset treasuries, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and other institutional and corporate clients under the US banking framework overseen by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).
A National Trust Bank Charter is a federal license from the OCC that lets a company operate as a limited-purpose trust bank. Instead of taking deposits or making loans, a trust bank focuses on holding, managing and safeguarding assets for clients.
The company is already licensed as a trust in New Hampshire.
Crypto.com isn’t the first crypto company to file for a US National Trust Bank Charter. In April 2025, Cointelegraph reported that several crypto companies, including BitGo and Circle, were considering applying for US bank charters.
