After spending 2025 through January 2026 building their largest leveraged positions in history, bets on digital assets have unraveled with unnerving speed. In January 2026, US margin debt had surged to a record $1.28 trillion — its ninth consecutive monthly increase and a 50% rise from April 2025. That financial leverage added bids to crypto assets which made new all-time highs in May, July, August, and October 2025. Then, despite investors…

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Crypto perpetual futures have largely developed offshore because of the U.S. reluctance to pursue industry regulations, said U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Mike Selig, and his agency will soon provide guidance on how that business should be handled.

Selig’s agency is “working towards getting professional futures, true professional futures here in the U.S. within the next…

A renowned developer on X, Ameen Soleimani, has criticized the reluctance of Ethereum to implement the Poseidon precompile. In an update shared recently, Soleimani expressed concerns over Ethereum’s hesitation to implement this hash function, which is necessary for efficient zk proofs. Insight into Poseidon precompile delays According to Soleimani, this same function has been on other blockchains such as Solana, Starknet and Stellar since 2020-2022. He criticized the Ethereum community for always talking about “privacy by default” but refusing to make the required technical upgrade that would guarantee it. Soleimani insists that the key element, which is the zkEVM feature,…
