Two U.S. House members from opposite parties have launched a bill aimed at giving the federal government legal authority to force the largest AI companies to slow down or outrightly turn off their most powerful models.

Ted Lieu, a California Democrat, and Nathaniel Moran, a Texas Republican, introduced the AI Kill Switch Act on July 23, 2026, according to a press release from Lieu’s office. The bill will…

The move to add native stablecoin support to Samsung Wallet by Samsung Electronics could place U.S. dollar-pegged digital currencies before millions of Galaxy device owners, establishing one of the largest consumer distribution channels for cryptocurrencies yet. The advantages of this goes beyond Samsung’s own ecosystem. Stablecoins have mostly remained within cryptocurrencies and exchanges that ordinary users rarely use them. However, when they are linked into an application that already exists on Galaxy phones, it will make using blockchain payment easy without forcing users to install another crypto application. Samsung revealed the initiative during its Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event on July…

Bitcoin traded near a critical technical zone as buyers attempted to build momentum following a sharp correction from recent highs. Although the cryptocurrency recovered from its latest swing low, broader market conditions continued to favor sellers. Technical Recovery Faces Major Hurdles Bitcoin continues to trade beneath its 20, 50, 100, and 200-day exponential moving averages. That structure keeps the broader trend bearish despite the recent rebound from around $57,863. The 20-day EMA near $61,958 remains the first major barrier for buyers. Additionally, Fibonacci retracement levels highlight several resistance zones that could determine Bitcoin’s next move. The cryptocurrency currently trades around…

Cross-chain discussions involving $XRP, Flare, and Cardano are gaining momentum. In a post on X, Flare co-founder Hugo Philion revealed that the team is actively exploring a LayerZero Decentralized Verifier Network (DVN) to strengthen interoperability between major blockchain ecosystems. FXRP on Cardano? Philion made the comment in response to $XRP community member @xrpen15, who suggested that Flare launch an official LayerZero (LZ) DVN.

Responding on X, Philion said: “Can’t comment on whether FXRP will go to Cardano, but funny you say…

Getting it rolling before the recess could put it in a potential viability for the brief window of floor time waiting in September, though election politics will be looming and other priorities will battle for lawmakers’ time. The legislation has also faced a contentious debate since the final working draft emerged this week, with members of both parties taking issue with various sections, and a large number of Democrats taking a stand against its approach to limiting senior government officials — most notably President Donald Trump — in their crypto business activities. The midterm congressional elections are in November, and…

Ripple MiCA Authorization Opens A Wider European Payments Lane Ripple has secured full MiCA authorization in Europe, giving the company a clearer regulatory path to expand crypto-enabled payment services across EU and EEA markets. The authorization applies to Ripple’s corporate payment entity and allows compliant operations under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework. That is an important distinction. This is not a blanket regulatory endorsement of $XRP trading itself. It is a licensing milestone for Ripple’s business activities under MiCA. Still, the development matters for $XRP watchers because Ripple’s payments business remains central to the token’s broader narrative. If…

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan has dismissed concerns that MicroStrategy might be forced into a large-scale sell-off of its Bitcoin holdings.

This substantial asset base, he noted, provides the company with ample capacity to cover its preferred stock dividends for an extended period using existing assets alone. New Capital Management Framework The company’s recently…
