The digital art community was jolted early this morning after the prominent Ethereum-based $NFT platform Foundation halted its operation. This was due to the reversal of its recent acquisition by digital art gallery company Blackdove.

According to Billings, Blackdove initially intended to acquire Foundation to integrate asset tokenization into its existing software infrastructure.

CLARITY Act gridlock is not a crypto story in isolation. The backlog of Republican infighting across FISA, budget reconciliation, and Iran war powers resolutions is consuming the precise legislative oxygen that the most consequential digital asset bill in US history requires in the next two weeks.

Polymarket betting markets reportedly appeared inside Google News results alongside established news publishers before disappearing. A Google spokesperson told The Verge that the platform’s appearance in News was an error. “This site briefly appeared in Google News in error, and it is no longer surfacing in News,” spokesperson Ned Adriance reportedly said.

The problem, Federa says, is that crypto conflates decentralized with…
