- Elizabeth Warren and crypto industry unite in 'unlikely alliance' slamming Trump’s bill An unlikely alliance seems to be forming in the U.S. as two camps, generally lying on the opposite ends of the crypto policy, have found the Donald Trump administration's key legislation lacking in some aspects. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), often very critical of the crypto industry, and the DeFi Education Fund (DEF), a non-profit that is a strong proponent of crypto and DeFi, criticized the Senate's draft legislation for crypto market structure. However, their points of contention, as we will find out, are entirely different. What is crypto market structure legislation? Officially known as the “Responsible Financial Innovation Act," the...

Sustainability through vigilance The sustainability of Bitcoin is a mix of vigilance and funding, Pouliot stressed. Community projects like Bitcoin Jungle are primarily being bankrolled by Bull Bitcoin profits and grants from the Human Rights Foundation and OpenSats. "Without the profits of Bull Bitcoin, how am I going to finance the stuff that I do with the wallet? Bitcoin Jungle, for...

- Sharpening the Stake Ethereum treasury firm SharpLink Gaming is planning to stake a portion of its $3.6 billion ETH stash on the Linea network once it hits mainnet. The company had been staking almost all of its holdings through its custodians, Anchorage and Coinbase.

And if there are opportunities that SharpLink can avail itself of to get better yield, higher risk-adjusted...

- Wall Street may soon trade like crypto, SEC and CFTC propose 24/7 model Key Takeaways The leaders of the top U.S. market regulators have proposed that Wall Street run 24/7, just like the crypto market. On Sep. 5, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Acting Chairman Caroline Pham issued a joint statement, proposing that the U.S. financial markets run online constantly — in contrast to during limited business hours on weekdays. However, the statement added that extending trading hours may be more appropriate for some asset classes than others, and a "one-size-fits-all" approach may not work.

- Hyperliquid Seeks Proposals to Launch USDH Stablecoin—But Some Call Foul Play Hyperliquid, a popular decentralized exchange with a dedicated layer-1 network, has opened proposals for teams to issue a USDH stablecoin that will be “Hyperliquid-first” and “Hyperliquid-aligned.” However, one established Hyperliquid stablecoin protocol is calling foul play, as it was previously blocked from using the USDH ticker. And the timing of the Foundation's announcement has drawn other questions, as well. The Discord announcement posted on Friday says the USDH ticker should go to a team building a “Hyperliquid-first, Hyperliquid-aligned, and compliant USD stablecoin.” Validators will vote over the next five days for the best team to build a...

He added that downward price pressure for treasury company stock prices is likely to...

A Beginner's Guide to the Smart Contract Blockchain Ethereum, the second-biggest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, is a blockchain-powered platform for creating decentralized applications (dapps).

When programmer Vitalik Buterin published a “whitepaper” in late 2013 proposing a new kind of blockchain—not just for money but for programmable code—a revolution in digital finance began. Today, the Ethereum blockchain hosts decentralized applications like smart contracts, games...

- Crypto mogul Justin Sun has pledged to spend $20 million on Trump-affiliated assets after World Liberty Financial, the Trump-backed crypto project, blocked his wallet Thursday evening. “We believe U.S.-listed crypto stocks are an undervalued opportunity,” Sun said in a Friday X post. “I will market buy $10 million worth of ALTS and $10 million worth of WLFI.” Sun, a Chinese-born crypto billionaire, founded the Tron blockchain in 2017.

- If you’re a cryptocurrency investor, chances are you’re feeling pretty good about things right now — especially if your investments are heavily tilted toward bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH).

- Will an Ethereum Run Make It Hard for ETH Treasuries to Raise Cash? As Ethereum claws its way upward this week, a looming challenge threatens digital asset treasury (DAT) companies as their mNAVs have come close to 1 or slipped below it, with experts signaling potential trouble for future capital inflows. mNAV, or market-to-net asset value, compares a company’s stock value to that of its assets.

BitMine and SharpLink Gaming have seen their mNAV fall below 1, to 0.99 and 0.89, respectively. BitDigital and GameSquare Holdings Inc have seen...
