Nothing wrong with that. Since the dawn of time, companies whose businesses depend on financial law have wanted a say in what that law looks like. Their owners, investors, and ultimately their customers expect them to defend the business, and the people doing the defending would rather have friends than foes writing the rules. The crypto industry has grown so much that dozens of crypto companies in the US can and want to defend their business with the same strength and money as their much larger tradfi counterparts. And seeing how crypto is largely politically ambiguous, these companies can attack…

How MemeToro Uses $BNB Chain for Fair Launches MemeToro is a planned $BNB Chain platform for researching, funding, and trading memecoins. Its AI agent is designed to scan market, social, and news trends before preparing a documented token proposal. The agent creates a public launch manifest. The document is meant to show the reason for the proposed token, its supply, funding cap, fixed price, and the evidence that supports the idea. The proposal then goes through deterministic validation. This means programmed rules check objective requirements instead of allowing an AI model to make the final decision alone. MemeToro’s validator is…

According to the CoinShares report, with this percentage, the 10-year yield reached its highest level since 2007. Meanwhile, the Fed’s hawkish stance, persistent inflation concerns, and stronger September PMI data further raised expectations of another rate hike, creating a potential headwind for Bitcoin. At the same time, Brent crude fell below $100, potentially easing inflation pressure, although oil remains elevated. Adding fuel to the fire, the CLARITY Act too failed to advance in the Senate on the 15th of September after a 49–50 cloture vote. However, the SEC and CFTC’s March 2026 framework’s recent FAQs have provided further clarity on…

The Ripple veteran then also talked about how a whole new market can be formed around blockchain finance applications. “What does the, like, blockchain user, like, look like? What is the product that…” Schwartz asked, noting that the potential formation of the market was akin to the enormous user base that app developers have for Android or iOS. “That’s the world that’s gonna be super exciting. And we’re really close,” he emphasized. Schwartz appeared to imply that the next…

Following its activation on Sepolia on October 6, the Glamsterdam network upgrade is now scheduled for the Hoodi testnet. Glamsterdam advances Ethereum’s L1 scaling roadmap with enshrined proposer-builder separation, block-level access lists, and gas pricing changes that better reflect the cost of execution and state growth.

Wahrstätter suggested that 300 million for Ethereum’s gas limit could become a realistic next…

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins approved a rule change filed by Cboe Global Markets, according to a statement dated Oct. 13. The contracts are cash-settled and European-style, meaning they can only be exercised at expiration. They will settle on figures in companies’ SEC filings, not numbers in earnings presentations. Cboe plans to list the contracts this month, and Robinhood is expected to be the first brokerage to offer them to retail investors. Trading can’t begin until Cboe Clear U.S., the clearing house, gets provisional registration, and a separate application is pending. Atkins said the approval does not touch similar contracts overseen…

He described the legal dispute as an “overrated and exaggerated excuse,” arguing that positive developments in the case often lifted $XRP’s price temporarily, but those gains were largely reversed afterward. Morgan Questions Lasting Impact of SEC Lawsuit Resolution Morgan acknowledged that favorable developments in the lawsuit had positively affected $XRP’s price. However, he argued that these reactions were short-lived and failed to translate into sustained gains. According to the lawyer, even the resolution of the case did not produce a lasting positive effect on $XRP’s market performance. For instance, $XRP traded above $3.6 in July 2025. By the time the…
