It’s safe to say that housing — most Americans’ biggest monthly expense — is now crowding crypto off the legislative calendar. Summary Lawmakers push digital-asset legislation to late February/March to focus on housing costs tied to Trump’s affordability agenda. Executive order targets large institutional investors buying single-family homes, though they own <1% of stock. Cardano’s Hoskinson warns against “good enough” rules; Ripple’s Garlinghouse favors pragmatic, incremental regulation.

Lawmakers are instead shifting their attention to housing affordability in an…
While Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, is cautious about re-entering the US market, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse argues that this return is inevitable.

Frontline crypto developers wouldn’t be subject to treatment as regulated financial firms in the latest U.S. crypto markets legislation, according to bill text that emerged on Wednesday in advance of next week’s planned Senate Agriculture Committee hearing.

Ethereum has experienced a steady surge in large-scale accumulation over the last few months that has gradually gotten stronger and is becoming more difficult to ignore. Whales are actively buying ETH through over-the-counter channels, even though market price action is still relatively restrained. Because of this discrepancy between price and accumulation, Ethereum has once again come under close scrutiny. It is difficult to ignore the most recent example. An OTC whale address (0xFB7) purchased an additional 20,013 ETH, or roughly $59 million, a few hours ago. What’s happening?
