President Donald Trump has escalated his campaign against Fed Chair Jerome Powell to a level that’s making markets genuinely uncomfortable. Trump stated he would fire Powell if he does not resign, proposing former Fed governor Kevin Warsh as a replacement. The threat represents the most direct challenge to Federal Reserve independence in modern American history. Trump has consistently pushed for lower interest rates, both during his first term from 2017 to 2021 and again now. His argument is straightforward: cheaper money stimulates the economy. Powell’s counterargument is equally straightforward: the Fed makes decisions based on data, not demands from the…

The bank said recent regulatory developments in the U.S. and growing institutional demand are helping transform perpetual futures, commonly known as “perps,” from a niche crypto instrument into a market structure that could eventually span commodities, equities and private-market investing. “PERPs are no longer just a crypto product. They are becoming a broader market-structure product,” TD Securities wrote. Perpetual futures differ from traditional futures because they do not expire. Instead, they rely on…

NBA Top Shot decentralized storage IPFS is now at the center of one of the platform’s biggest infrastructure changes yet. Every Moment on the platform — the video highlight, the thumbnail, and the metadata — is now preserved on decentralized IPFS storage, so collectors can verify what they own without asking for permission or logging into an account. That matters because digital collectibles have long depended on a simple promise: trust the company that holds the files. However, that promise has cracked before when platforms shut down and left NFTs pointing to empty servers. NBA Top Shot, built by Dapper…

The cryptocurrency market has eased from the selloff that gripped it over the past few days, with Bitcoin holding above the $75,377 support level.

The tokenization narrative is picking up serious momentum, and now industry insiders are starting to say the quiet part out loud. At a recent interview at the $XRP Las Vegas event in May 2026, Evernorth CEO Asheesh Birla shared a bold take: tokenization isn’t just a trend, it’s about to become the default. He compared it to the early days of the internet, when people used to ask, “Are you on the internet?”, until suddenly, everyone just was. According to him, the same shift is coming fast, and within the next two years, people won’t ask if assets are tokenized……

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission just made life a little easier for exchanges that want to list new derivative products. The agency updated its electronic filing portal at portal.cftc.gov to let designated contract markets (DCMs) and swap execution facilities (SEFs) submit a single certification covering multiple comparable contracts at once. What actually changed Under CFTC Regulation 40.2, exchanges can self-certify new products without getting prior Commission approval. Previously, each contract needed its own separate certification filing, even when the contracts were nearly identical in structure. The updated portal now allows bundling. If an exchange wants to list a dozen futures…
