Wintermute Ventures reviewed approximately 600 companies last year and funded only 4% of them. The venture arm of algorithmic trading firm Wintermute completed 23 deals in 2025, with only 20% of the companies that were reviewed reaching proper due diligence and fewer securing investment.

The disclosure, posted on Thursday, January 8, 2026, offered…

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has stated that there is an 80% chance that the Clarity Act will be passed by the end of April. Garlinghouse urged the industry to accept a compromise rather than holding out for an ideal bill. Clarity, not chaos A deadlock in the Senate Banking Committee has persisted since January, after the legislation was on the verge of passing. Coinbase, the leading US exchange, famously withdrew its support for the key legislation after failing to find an acceptable compromise on stablecoin yield and other key issues. “We were pretty darn close to the Clarity Act going…

A few years after the collapse of FTX nearly took it down by association, Solana’s core builders say the network’s next phase will be defined not by survival, but by scaling into global finance. Resilience built from the debris of 2022 is now shaping the Solana ecosystems future, leaders from Jupiter, Backpack, Kamino and DoubleZero argued at Consensus Hong Kong 2026 on Thursday. “When FTX collapsed, it was the most brutal possible experience you can imagine,” said Armani Ferrante, founder of Backpack Exchange.
