Roman Storm, a developer of the Tornado Cash privacy-preserving protocol, asked the open source software community whether they are concerned with being retroactively prosecuted by the US Department of Justice for developing decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. Storm asked DeFi developers: “How can you be so sure you won’t be charged by the DOJ as a money service business for building a non-custodial protocol?” The DOJ could prosecute a case, arguing that any decentralized, non-custodial service should have been developed as a custodial service, as it did in the case against him, Storm added, citing his recent motion for acquittal, which…

Crypto whale James Wynn has fired back at what he describes as a “coordinated FUD campaign.” He aimed at Binance and its native token, BNB, following a wave of online misinformation.

Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is reportedly preparing to review regulations that could allow banks to acquire and hold cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin for investment purposes. The move would mark a major policy shift, as current supervisory guidelines, revised in 2020, effectively ban banks from holding crypto due to volatility risks, according to a Sunday report from Livedoor News. Per the report, the FSA plans to discuss the reform at an upcoming meeting of the Financial Services Council, an advisory body to the Prime Minister. The initiative aims to align crypto asset management with traditional financial products like stocks and…

The crypto market’s two titans, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), continue to dominate investor attention as both assets post impressive gains in 2025. Yet, their paths differ in key ways that could define the next phase of digital asset growth heading into 2026. Why Ethereum? Ethereum has outperformed Bitcoin in 2025, rising 30% year-to-date compared to Bitcoin’s 25% gain. Between May and September, ETH more than doubled in price, quickly erasing any earlier underperformance relative to BTC. Ethereum’s key differentiator remains its proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, in contrast to Bitcoin’s proof-of-work (PoW) model. While this distinction may seem technical, it…

Ripple (XRP) Chief Legal Officer (CLO) Stuart Alderoty criticized the portrayal of cryptocurrencies as “tools for crime and corruption,” saying that this approach is both baseless and does not reflect reality. In his post on the X platform, Alderoty stated that recent news in traditional media has ignored the transparent blockchain and its large user base. “These words are useful, but lazy and wrong,” Alderoty said, arguing that the primary focus should be on who uses crypto and for what purposes. He noted that digital assets are used by tens of millions of Americans in practical applications like lending, proof…
