Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse believes the United States is closer than ever to establishing clear rules for crypto, according to his latest social media post. Garlinghouse argues that Washington’s approach to crypto has changed dramatically over the past 10 years. This assessment was made after the inaugural meeting of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Innovation Advisory Committee in Washington on Aug. 20. As reported by U.Today, the committee, which was chaired by CFTC Chairman Michael Selig, brought together executives from crypto and traditional finance to advise the agency on various issues pertaining to tech, law, and policy. “Everyone was in…

Trading in perpetual contracts is shifting away from exchanges that hold a customer account for you and towards venues where you sign every order with your own wallet. These venues are called perp DEX. Anyone reading the abbreviation for the first time will usually find either marketing copy or documentation written for developers. This article sits in between: it explains what happens when you open a position there, which costs accrue while it runs, and where the construction breaks. One point up front: a perpetual is a leveraged product. The figures below come from the public documentation of individual venues…

Bitcoin entered BIP-110’s final ordinary 2,016-block window on July 25 with miner support at 0.89%. The proposal requires 1,109 blocks, or 55%, for ordinary lock-in, and its mandatory version-bit phase can begin in August if support stays below that threshold. Jameson Lopp has framed Consensus Cleanup, covenants, and quantum preparation as Bitcoin’s next agenda. He also occupies two sides of that transition: Lopp opposes BIP-110 and co-authored BIP-361, a draft plan for post-quantum migration. BIP-110 gives those debates a live governance reference because developers, miners, node operators, exchanges, custodians and holders each supply a different form of consent. The next…

Few sectors in crypto have evolved as much as memecoins. What began with community-driven projects like Dogecoin eventually expanded into larger ecosystems such as Shiba Inu. Today, another shift is beginning as artificial intelligence enters the space, changing not only how meme coins are promoted but also how they are launched. MemeToro ($MT) represents that newer generation. Instead of competing directly with Dogecoin or Shiba Inu as another community token, it focuses on building infrastructure that could influence how future meme projects are created. That difference makes the comparison less about popularity and more about how the sector itself is…

Big Banks Ask For Customer ID Requirements to Be Extended to Secondary Stablecoin Markets The Bank Policy Institute (BPI), a member organization that groups banking behemoths like JPMorgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citi, among others, has proposed extending identity requirements to secondary stablecoin markets. In a comment letter on the “Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuer Customer Identification Program” proposed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the group called for applying the Customer Identification Program (CIP) provisions to exchanges and other platforms that directly interact with retail customers and are not under the proposed…

Robinhood didn’t spend years building a blockchain only to become another home for memecoins. Less than a month after launch, its tokenized stock market is beginning to look exactly as intended, and Uniswap is sitting at the center of almost every trade. According to onchain data, Uniswap now powers virtually the entire decentralized market for Robinhood’s tokenized equities. Version 4 alone accounts for roughly 73% of tokenized stock liquidity on Robinhood Chain, while Uniswap V3 holds another 26%, giving the protocol a combined market share of about 99% of all DEX liquidity supporting the new asset class. The growth has…

$ETH was trading around $2,435 late Saturday at 5 p.m. EDT after cooling from the intraday price peak.

Its share of the broader crypto market, known as dominance, is now closing in on 11%.

Buyers kept pressing over the next two sessions, driving the price as high as $2,546.78 on Binance. Daily…

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) shareholders holding 100 shares of the firm are expected to receive $25 when the company’s next quarterly dividend is paid.

Buying a crypto presale is often very different from purchasing established coins on centralized exchanges. Investors who mainly hold $XRP or Litecoin are used to logging into an exchange, placing an order, and receiving tokens instantly. Presales introduce a different process that involves Web3 wallets, blockchain networks, and direct interaction with a project’s platform. For newcomers, that can feel unfamiliar at first. This guide explains how investors can participate in the MemeToro ($MT) presale while also covering the basics that every first-time DeFi user should understand. Why $XRP and Litecoin Holders Are Exploring Presales Both $XRP and Litecoin have experienced…
