Senate negotiations over the landmark CLARITY Act are producing fresh concessions, but little evidence that the parties are moving closer to a deal. Democrats are moving on regulatory appointments and ethics, while law-enforcement groups have proposed new language for one of the CLARITY Act’s most contentious provisions. The White House and crypto advocates, however, have rejected some of those overtures in unusually blunt terms, leaving a bipartisan ethics counteroffer as the next major test of whether negotiators can still bridge their differences. Democratic nominees narrow one CLARITY sticking point Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has sent the White House two…

Dallas Federal Reserve President Lorie Logan has issued a new warning to investors that the battle against inflation might not be over yet. On Thursday, she pointed out that the Federal Reserve (Fed) may have to be stricter with its monetary policy if inflation does not bring down its numbers.

Logan’s remarks fuel an increasing discussion within the US central bank regarding the duration of the high cost of borrowing. Even though inflation has declined from its peak,…

Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of $NEAR Protocol ($NEAR), announced via X that the project plans to launch its quantum-resistant cryptography technology this month. The development marks a significant step in preparing blockchain infrastructure for the eventual threat posed by quantum computing. Quantum Threat to Blockchain Security Quantum computers, once sufficiently advanced, could theoretically break the cryptographic algorithms that secure most blockchain networks, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. Current public-key cryptography, such as elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA), is vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm, which a powerful quantum computer could use to derive private keys from public ones. $NEAR Protocol’s initiative aims to…
