Berachain’s new RFRV batch introduces stablecoin-native yield and boosts DeFi opportunities within the network. Bera-based LST pairs and lending incentives now offer users more options to stay active without locking their assets.

Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) has introduced the Responsible Innovation and Safe Expertise (RISE) Act of 2025, a legislative proposal designed to clarify liability frameworks for artificial intelligence (AI) used by professionals. The bill could bring transparency from AI developers – stoping short of requiring models to be open source. In a press release, Lummis said the RISE Act would mean that professionals, such as physicians, attorneys, engineers, and financial advisors, remain legally responsible for the advice they provide, even when it is informed by AI systems. At the time, AI developers who create the systems can only shield themselves from…
South Africa’s top cryptocurrency exchange, VALR, is flexing its muscles on the global stage with the integration of MoonPay’s fiat on and off-ramps, making it easier than ever for people to buy and sell crypto in more than 180 countries. The partnership is a big deal for VALR, expanding its support for fiat currencies from just one – the South African rand – to an incredible 34, including both the big ones like U.S. dollars and euros, and also tons of more obscure ones, such as the Kenyan shilling, Nigerian naira, Turkish lira, Brazilian real and Indonesian rupiah.

Layer-2 chains were supposed to be the next evolution of blockchain scalability, and in some ways, they delivered. They made transactions faster and cheaper, helped projects scale rapidly, and gave Ethereum (ETH) room to breathe amid a surge in network activity. But as the dust settles, one uncomfortable truth has become hard to ignore: L2s don’t retain the value they generate. Instead, they leak it back to the parent chain, back to the liquidity hubs, and back…
In a recent X debate, top analyst Willy Woo threw out a number that sounded almost too wild to be real: $425 trillion. That’s where he sees Bitcoin’s market potential landing — in just 20 years. And according to him, that’s not some moonshot fantasy. That’s just the math. Fidelity claims Bitcoin’s value-storing ability gives it an edge over all other cryptocurrencies and pegs its “addressable market” at a solid $18.5 trillion. Big number. But then came Adam Back, saying BTC could tap into a much bigger pie — $209 to $300 trillion — the total monetary premium sitting in…
Ethereum (ETH) is showing mixed signals as it hovers near a critical technical zone, with traders closely watching for a breakout or breakdown. On one hand, the BBTrend has flipped sharply bullish, jumping to 4.99 after hitting -3 just a day earlier—suggesting growing upside momentum. On the other hand, whale activity continues to decline for the seventh consecutive day, a potential sign of weakening institutional confidence. With ETH stuck between strong resistance at $2,900 and key support at $2,679, the next move could define the short-term market direction. Ethereum BBTrend Flips Bullish: What 4.99 Means for Price Action Ethereum’s BBTrend…

Ripple and the U.S. SEC are back in front of Judge Analisa Torres again. This time they are asking for an indicative ruling under Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. What is Rule 60(b)? In simple terms, Rule 60(b) allows a court to modify or dismiss a final judgment if there are “exceptional circumstances” — unusual or important new reasons to undo a decision that’s already been made. Why Are Ripple and the SEC Doing This? Last year the court ruled against Ripple and ordered them to pay a $125 million fine and barred them from selling…
