Former CFTC Chair Tim Massad has raised serious alarms over President Trump’s increasing involvement in cryptocurrency, calling out the ethical risks tied to Trump-linked crypto ventures. From meme coins to his backing of World Liberty Financial (WLFI), Trump’s activities in the digital asset space have sparked conflict-of-interest concerns just months into his second term. Massad warns that these actions could lead to corruption, especially since a sitting U.S. president is not bound by traditi

CME Group has teamed up with Google Cloud to explore tokenization in capital markets through the Google Cloud Universal Ledger (GCUL). The goal is to improve how assets and payments move across financial systems by using a private, permissioned ledger. While the project is still in its early stages—with testing set for later this year and a launch planned for 2026—it’s already drawing criticism from the blockchain community.

GCUL is a distributed ledger designed for easy use by financial instit

Immutable has scored a major legal win after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) closed its investigation into the Web3 gaming company with no enforcement action. The probe, which started in 2024, focused on the listing and private sales of its IMX token in 2021 and raised concerns about possible violations of securities laws. Immutable firmly defended itself throughout the process and now walks away without any findings of wrongdoing.

The news was shared by Immutable co-founder R

The upgrade, based on Optimism’s OP Stack and using EigenDA for data availability, makes Celo faster, safer, and more compatible with Ethereum while keeping its signature low transaction costs.

The transition was finalized at block height 31,056,500. Validators on the original Celo L1 intentionally paused block producti

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has shared that 95% of Ripple’s customers are based outside the U.S., but the company remains focused on expanding its presence in the American market. This renewed push follows a major legal win: the SEC dropped its lawsuit against Ripple, marking a significant milestone for both the company and the wider crypto industry.

The SEC first sued Ripple in December 2020, claiming its XRP token was an unregistered security. That case now appears closed. The SEC has return

World Liberty Financial Inc. (WLFI), a decentralized finance project inspired by former President Donald J. Trump, has revealed plans to launch USD1, a new stablecoin tied to the US dollar. This digital token is designed to be redeemable 1:1 for USD and aims to appeal to both institutional investors and sovereign entities.

USD1 will be backed entirely by short-term US Treasury securities, bank deposits, and other highly liquid assets. Its goal is to combine the speed and innovation of decentral

Strategy, previously known as MicroStrategy, has once again expanded its Bitcoin portfolio. CEO Michael Saylor announced the company acquired 6,911 BTC for $584 million, pushing its total holdings past 500,000 Bitcoin. This move, made during a period of rising BTC prices, boosted investor confidence across the crypto market.

Saylor stated the purchase was funded through the company’s STRK perpetual security, a debt-based financial tool recently launched to support ongoing Bitcoin acquisitions.

World Network, previously known as Worldcoin, is reportedly in early discussions with Visa to develop a new stablecoin wallet. If successful, the partnership could combine crypto-native features with Visa’s vast global customer base, creating a new way to process stablecoin payments at scale.

A new stablecoin called USD1, which claims to be tied to World Liberty Financial (WLFI), has quietly launched on the BNB Chain, stirring speculation across the crypto space. While there's no official statement from WLFI or Binance, the appearance of USD1—and its interaction with leading market maker Wintermute—has sparked rumors of a potential partnership involving Binance and possibly even the Trump family.

The speculation began after reports suggested WLFI could be working with Binance to lau

President Trump is preparing to announce a new set of reciprocal tariffs on April 2, a move he calls “Liberation Day” for the U.S. economy. Aimed at reducing the country’s $1.2 trillion trade deficit, this policy shift could have a noticeable impact on financial markets, including crypto.

Trump may hold back from imposing the most aggressive tariffs on key industries like automobiles, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals. Instead, he might focus on a smaller group of countries—known informally a

House of Doge, the corporate arm of the Dogecoin Foundation, has introduced the Official Dogecoin Reserve, a new initiative aimed at making Dogecoin more practical for everyday payments. The reserve began with an initial purchase of 10 million DOGE, a move designed to boost adoption of the meme coin as a serious payment solution.

The goal behind the reserve is to solve one of crypto’s biggest problems: slow transaction times. Digital currencies often struggle with real-world usability because o

Coinbase is reportedly in discussions to acquire Deribit, the world’s largest crypto derivatives exchange. If completed, this move could dramatically expand Coinbase’s presence in the crypto trading space, especially in the high-volume derivatives market.

Deribit recorded close to $1.2 trillion in total trading volume last year across options, futures, and spot products. In comparison, Coinbase has seen limited activity in derivatives, despite launching Coinbase Derivatives in 2021. A successfu

Tether, the company behind the world’s largest stablecoin, is reportedly in talks with one of the Big Four accounting firms to carry out a third-party audit. CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed that discussions are ongoing, aiming to meet requirements expected under upcoming U.S. stablecoin regulations. These regulations would mandate independent audits as a condition for stablecoin issuers looking to operate in the American market.

Ardoino emphasized that securing an audit is now a top priority for th

Bitcoin spot ETFs in the U.S. have finally seen a strong comeback, recording $744 million in net inflows this week after five straight weeks of losses. On March 17 alone, the market experienced its strongest daily gain in over a month, with notable interest from institutional players suggesting that confidence may be returning to the crypto space.

The reversal comes after a tough period in February when ETFs saw over $5 billion in outflows, much of it due to institutional sell-offs during volat

The Pi Network community is building its own decentralized exchange (DEX), called PiDaoSwap, in an effort to fight price manipulation by outside exchanges. The move aims to help Pi Coin better reflect its true market value, instead of being influenced by third-party platforms that reportedly distort its price through artificial activity.

PiDaoSwap is now in the final stages of development and is expected to launch soon on the Pi Network mainnet. According to community sources, including Pi Netw

Jed McCaleb, co-founder of Ripple and Stellar, is now channeling his cryptocurrency fortune into space exploration. His latest venture, a startup called Vast Space, plans to launch Haven-1—the first commercial space station—by 2026.

Vast Space’s CEO, Max Haot, explained that the station is not meant for tourism. Instead, the goal is to create an environment focused on work, team effici

Coinbase has successfully blocked a supply chain cyberattack aimed at its open-source AI toolkit, agentkit. The attacker tried to exploit GitHub permissions to add harmful code into the project’s automated build system (CI/CD pipeline).

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently declared that proof-of-work (PoW) crypto assets like Bitcoin are considered commodities, not securities. This regulatory shift could open the door for multiple altcoin ETFs to be approved together by the end of Q2 2025.

This announcement follows the SEC’s growing pattern of easing restrictions around crypto regulation. By separating PoW assets from traditional securities laws, the Commission may have laid a clear path for the approval o
