Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin advocates for the optimization of Layer1 security and decentralization features to streamline how builders develop Layer2s. In a recent X post, Buterin comments on a take about how alternative Layer1s eventually end up becoming Layer2s overtime. The Ethereum (ETH) co-founder believes that on-chain builders should learn to “lean into the L1’s offerings” in order to maximize L2 for what it is. According to Buterin, developers should stop trying to rebuild everything from scratch. Instead, L2 builders should leverage the strengths of Ethereum’s L1. These features include security, censorship resistance, proofs and data availability. By offloading these…

Crypto companies are not waiting around. They’re charging into the US banking system with full force under Donald Trump’s presidency, taking advantage of what they see as a wide-open regulatory window. Ripple, a crypto payments company, and Circle, which handles stablecoins, have both applied for national trust bank charters. BitGo, a crypto custody firm, has done the same. Kraken, on the other hand, is skipping the charter route and going straight into debit and credit cards, set to launch before the end of the month. Executives are calling it a “natural convergence.” That’s the phrase Arjun Sethi, Kraken’s co-CEO, used…

Bitcoin recently reached a new all-time high, climbing past $111,000 amid a steady 18.2% increase over the past 30 days. This upward momentum, which pushed the price from approximately $102,000, reflects strong performance across the week. However, despite this price surge, market watchers have noted a sharp contrast in public sentiment compared to previous bull runs. Notably, analysts and industry voices are observing a striking lack of retail excitement, even as Bitcoin surpasses its historical price ceiling. Muted Retail Sentiment Despite…
Andrew Bailey, the Governor of the Bank of England, has issued a warning to the world’s largest banks against issuing their own stablecoins, setting up a potential regulatory and ideological clash with the Trump administration in the United States, which has been actively encouraging stablecoin adoption. In a recent interview, Bailey said he would much rather see the banking sector focus on tokenized deposits, digital versions of traditional bank deposits, than on stablecoins, which are privately issued digital tokens typically pegged to a fiat currency like the US dollar or British pound. His concern, he said, is that stablecoins could…
