XRP advocate Bill Morgan has criticized former SEC lead counsel Jorge Tenreiro’s selective presentation of his litigation record after joining Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP as a partner. Morgan pointed out that Tenreiro’s new firm profile highlights crypto enforcement successes but omits his partial defeat in the SEC vs Ripple case.

Data from DeFi aggregators show why Sentora’s claim is getting attention. DefiLlama’s dashboards put total DeFi value locked (TVL) across chains in the roughly $150 billion range, while Ethereum alone currently shows $92 billion parked in DeFi…

House Republicans on Thursday, Aug. 21, introduced a new provision to defense policy bill H.R. 3838 that would prevent the government from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) to individuals – a measure that experts say could protect the future of financial privacy. The provision emphasizes that the Federal Reserve can’t give financial services directly to people, hold accounts for them, or create a CBDC or anything similar. Moreover, the Fed can’t get around the rules by using banks or other middlemen to issue a CBDC. CBDC Prohibitions It also highlights an exception that the ban “may not be…
