Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has called for open-source, verifiable infrastructure across critical sectors like healthcare, finance and governance, warning that centralized systems risk eroding trust and security. In a Wednesday blog post, Buterin argued that as digital infrastructure becomes embedded in everyday life, relying on closed, opaque systems increases the danger of abuse and monopolization. “The civilizations that gained the most from new waves of technology are not the ones who consumed the technology, but the ones who produced it,” Buterin wrote, adding that “openness and verifiability can fight against global balkanization.” Buterin said he envisions a world where verifiable…

Instead, their sights are set on the much larger $700 trillion traditional financial system. Shalom highlighted this ambition at KBW 2025, explaining that the ultimate…

Michael Saylor’s flagship preferred share, Strike (STRK), was conspicuously absent from his company’s listing announcement this morning. The company instead announced that investors may now purchase calls and puts on Strife (STRF), Stretch (STRC), and Stride (STRD), as well as the earlier options chain for Strategy common stock (MSTR). No options chain exists for STRK — despite its Series A seniority and market capitalization exceeding STRD and STRF, respectively. Strike is unique not only because it was Saylor’s first attempt at selling preferred shares with perpetual dividends, but because the most bullish type of preferred share that the company has…
