LegalAug 3

Recent comments by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce regarding crypto vaults and on-chain lending are being interpreted by industry legal experts as a constructive signal that the agency is moving toward formalizing decentralized finance (DeFi) regulation, rather than imposing stricter enforcement.

Peirce’s Remarks and Their Context Speaking publicly, Peirce reiterated the SEC’s longstanding position that activity executed on a blockchain does not automatically exempt it from federal securities laws.

AltcoinsAug 3

Moonbeam's standard GLMR migration window closed last night at 23:59 UTC (July 31), as its Polkadot network moved into an operational wind-down ahead of a relaunch on Base.

At 20:20 UTC on July 31, less than four hours before the cutoff, the migration contract held about…

Under the policy, foreign law enforcement agencies must route certain requests through Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties, or MLATs. The treaties provide a formal process for governments to exchange evidence and information in criminal investigations, but requests can take considerably longer than direct cooperation with an exchange. The change represents a departure from Binance’s previous approach, under which it worked directly with authorities to freeze suspicious accounts and provide information about users under investigation, the NYT said. “Binance has not slowed its cooperation with global law enforcement,” a spokesperson said in an email to CoinDesk. “On the contrary, we have increased…
