The U.S. economy lost 23,000 jobs in July, signaling that the labor market has yet to stabilize after four months of positive growth. The unemployment rate, however, fell slightly to 4.1 percent. Following weak employment data, Nick Timiraos, a Wall Street Journal reporter known for his close ties to Fed policy, stated that interpreting the July employment report would not be easy for the Fed. According to Timiraos, new evidence that the labor market has not accelerated again could reduce the urgency for the Fed to raise interest rates next month. However, the most important variable in terms of the…

The US Senate’s delay of a vote on crypto market structure legislation could give Hong Kong and Singapore more time to strengthen their positions as digital asset hubs, according to First Digital founder and CEO Vincent Chok.

The following is a guest post and opinion piece by Andre Cronje, Founder and CEO of Flying Tulip. Decentralization was the starting point for DeFi. But it is no longer the complete operating model for most protocols, and our language should evolve with the industry. This is not an argument against decentralization. It is an argument for being precise about where it exists, where operational responsibility remains, and what trust assumptions follow. I say that as someone who spent years building toward the opposite ideal. Yearn Finance launched with no team allocation, no foundation and no pre-mine. Everything went to…

Cole Villemain (aka “ColeThereum”), the Pudgy Penguins co-founder who left the project after allegations of misusing its treasury, is selling NFTs again. On Sunday, the controversial founder previewed his new collection launching on Robinhood Chain to over half a million views.

In August 2021, for example, blockchain sleuth ZachXBT profiled one of his pre-crypto ventures, a dropshipping site called eBoy Outlet. That…
