As digital assets move toward broader institutional adoption, investors bring familiar expectations with them. They want the same tools that support decisions across public markets, including transparent pricing, standardized benchmarks, independent governance and reliable ways to measure performance and risk. In other words: they want what indexes provide. Throughout financial history, the arrival of trusted benchmarks has often marked the moment that a new market becomes an investable one.

And Trump has recently backed him up. “It is…

Giovanni Santostasi, the physicist known in the Bitcoin world for his “Power Law” theory, was a guest on Natalie Brunell’s show.

The new Fed chairman is expected to give clues about what he sees as the biggest risk to the US economy in the face…
