Arthur Hayes on Tuesday warned in his essay “The Butterfly Touch” that AI could become one of the biggest political fights in America before the November midterm elections, especially if rising power costs, job fears, and inflation keep hitting the middle class. Arthur added that Bitcoin is already beginning to price itself accordingly. He pointed out that the bull run is directly connected with the American bombing of Iran that took place on February 28, and that there will be an influx of additional dollars and yuan into the economy, as both America and China continue to invest in data…

Asheesh Birla has spent 13 years in blockchain. He has watched $XRP go from a niche asset discussed in specialist forums to a live ticker on CNBC.

The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 is 257 pages of statutory text divided into six titles, each tackling a different piece of U.S. digital asset regulation. Most coverage describes the bill in vague terms like “establishes clear rules for crypto.” The actual legislation is more specific and more consequential than that. It defines digital commodities through a 20 percent control threshold for “mature blockchain systems,” reclassifies tokens from securities to commodities once they hit secondary markets, carves out DeFi software development from registration requirements under Sections 309 and 409, and prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing a central…

A new UK policy report from the Solana Research Institute has warned that upcoming crypto regulations could push validators, staking providers, and wallet firms out of the country. The authors claim it will create what they describe as a form of “digital isolation” from permissionless blockchain networks. The report, titled The Loneliness of Misunderstanding: The UK’s Crypto Sakoku and the FCA’s 2026 Regulations, argues that the UK’s proposed framework risks treating core blockchain infrastructure providers like traditional financial intermediaries. The paper compares Japan’s historical “sakoku” isolationist policy to the approach. It claims the UK could effectively cut itself off from…
