Critics of the EU’s latest legal overhaul say Brussels is now sailing close to the wind on data rights, and possibly crossing a line Europe claimed was red. For years, EU officials were proud of sweeping privacy protections; it was treated like the bloc’s moral high ground, and citizens were told their private lives would not be traded away for convenience or novelty.

The Senate Agriculture Committee published its draft crypto market structure legislation on Monday, bringing the body a necessary step closer to advancing its answer to the House of Representatives’ Clarity Act legislation to define how exactly the Commodity Futures Trading Commission can oversee spot market trading. The draft bill, which still includes brackets indicating sections where lawmakers have yet to fully agree on details, marks a major step toward the government delineating where the CFTC’s jurisdiction ends and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s jurisdiction begins — a key question that only Congress can answer as these federal agencies ramp up…

Deribit, the crypto derivatives exchange acquired by Coinbase (COIN) earlier this year, is working with digital asset custodian Komainu to offer institutions the ability to trade continuously without moving assets off custody, the companies said on Wednesday.

Like the rest of the digital asset industry, crypto derivatives are edging towards mainstream…

Under proof-of-stake consensus mechanisms, network participants put up or “stake” some of their cryptos — Ethereum ETH$3,549.55 or another crypto — to secure the network, and they…

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller has proposed a new “limited-access” or “skinny” master account for fintech and crypto firms. The goal is to let qualified institutions use the Fed’s payment system directly instead of relying on traditional partner banks. If adopted, this plan could reduce how much stablecoins and other crypto firms depend on commercial banks to move money. Hayes Calls It a Political Move BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes criticized the idea, saying it could damage the traditional banking model. In a post on X, he described the proposal as political payback from President Donald Trump. Hayes said the Fed’s…
