Lido DAO contributors have published a governance proposal that would authorize a contingent market-making mandate for the $LDO token on centralized exchanges, a precaution aimed at reducing the risk of pair degradation and delistings as trading activity thins. The “Authorize a Contingent $LDO CEX Liquidity Market-Making Mandate” proposal was posted to the Lido Governance forum on September 16, 2026, and has not yet gone to a vote. Why the DAO Is Acting The proposal points to a sharp decline in $LDO trading volume, which the Lido Growth Committee says has made organic market making less profitable and left centralized-exchange pairs…

Despite the optimistic claims ahead of the initial public offering (IPO) and the subsequent bullish forecasts, investing in SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) stock as soon as it became available would not have been a lucrative move by press time on August 28. Specifically, though SPCX enjoyed a strong recovery during the month that took the equity from its all-time low of $104.83 to $142.83 at press time, Elon Musk’s newer trillion-dollar company remains only slightly above the IPO price and below the day-one prices. Indeed, since SpaceX stock was originally available at $135 – though high interest and low float ensured…

The Terra Classic community is trying to rebuild three specific things in 2026: a smaller token supply through an on-chain burn tax, working blockchain infrastructure through upgrades like Market Module 2.0, and functioning decentralized governance after the 2022 collapse of its algorithmic stablecoin. This is a transaction-by-transaction repair job carried out by volunteer developers and validators with no company behind them. How Did Terra Classic End Up Needing a Rebuild? Terra Classic ($LUNC) is what remains of the original Terra blockchain after its algorithmic stablecoin, UST, lost its dollar peg in May 2022. That failure wiped out roughly $60 billion…

As Cynthia Lummis, a United States Senator from Wyoming, championed the urgency for the passage of the CLARITY Act, a bill set to create clear rules for the crypto industry, on September 15, 2026, over a trillion U.S. dollars in deposits from traditional banks is on the line and likely to benefit the cryptocurrency industry. Lummis argued that if the current administration, under President Donald Trump, fails to enact the CLARITY Act into law, the next real opportunity to pass it could be in 2030. “If the Clarity Act doesn’t pass this Congress, the next real opportunity to bring market…

For years, Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin [$BTC] strategy looked nearly impossible to challenge. Every capital raise financed another Bitcoin purchase. Every rally reinforced the model. Shareholder dilution also seemed justified because the corporate treasury kept expanding. Yet, success gradually introduced a different challenge. The financial engine behind the relentless accumulation is now demanding more from the treasury it was built to grow. At press time, Strategy held 843,775 $BTC, worth about $54.5 billion. This milestone comes after adding 171,278 $BTC this year. Source: Bitcoin Treasuries However, those holdings carry a $63.69 billion cost basis, with an average purchase price of $75,482.…

Indeed, odds of a September IPO remain low and at only 16% despite the frequent mentions of the month, per the data Finbold retrieved from Polymarket on August 28. Crypto traders appear confident that trading will begin in October – 81% –…

Evernorth Chief Business Officer Sagar Shah has argued that $XRP should be judged primarily by its utility, not its market price. In a Q&A session posted on X, Shah questioned why $XRP is still framed mainly as a price story when it was designed to move value across financial systems. “Why is $XRP still discussed as a price story, when it was built for movement?” Shah said. According to Shah, price is the most visible aspect of any crypto asset because it changes constantly and dominates headlines. However, he said utility is a better measure of $XRP’s long-term value. $XRP…

Former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti says conversations with lawmakers and congressional staff in Washington left him convinced the bill has lost support, saying that “CLARITY is dead” This comes as the bill faces a key Senate vote on September 15, with a shrinking House calendar and growing doubts over whether it can get enough votes to pass.
