Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson believes the current crypto downturn is temporary and expects the market to enter another bull cycle eventually. Speaking at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium (WBS), Hoskinson delivered a confident message about the future of cryptocurrencies. He assured investors that the bear market will eventually end and emphasized that another period of market expansion will follow. However, Hoskinson believes a stronger value proposition must drive the next bull market. In his view, simply attracting speculative capital will not be enough to bring billions of new users into the crypto ecosystem. Crypto Must Embrace a New Narrative According to…

James Murphy, a prominent U.S. digital-asset lawyer known online as MetaLawMan, has publicly endorsed pro-crypto attorney John E. Deaton in the Massachusetts Senate race, urging voters to unseat incumbent Senator Ed Markey. Murphy’s endorsement stems from Markey’s opposition to the CLARITY Act, a bill that aims to clarify the regulatory status of digital assets. Background: The CLARITY Act and Fidelity’s Support The CLARITY Act, formally known as the Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act, seeks to provide a clear legal framework for digital asset transactions, a move that many in the crypto industry argue is essential for innovation and…

A euro transfer to an account at a crypto exchange looked like any other payment for years: enter the IBAN, enter the amount, authorise it, wait one or two business days. Since October 9, 2025 the very same transfer runs through an additional checkpoint. Many investors notice this for the first time when their banking app shows a warning before authorisation, or refuses to accept the order at all. The trigger sits neither with the exchange nor with your own bank. It sits in an EU regulation that has rebuilt euro payments. Anyone who knows which check applies at which…

Marathon Digital reported August production of 670 Bitcoin, while its corporate treasury balance reached 25,000 $BTC under its full HODL strategy. The update gives investors a fresh look at one of the largest public Bitcoin miners at a time when mining companies are being judged on more than production alone. Hashrate, power costs, treasury strategy, uptime, and capital discipline all matter now. Marathon’s August report gives the market two simple numbers to work with: 670 $BTC mined during the month and 25,000 $BTC held on the balance sheet. Both matter, but they tell different parts of the story. For more…

Robinhood Chain users paid a record $3.75 million in transaction fees on September 1. That pushed the two-month-old network ahead of Ethereum mainnet and Base for the day, and every dollar of that feeds a revenue share back to Arbitrum, the stack it runs on. DEX volume topped $1.5B, and locked value cleared $750M The $3.75 million is an all-time high since the chain went mainnet on July 1. Robinhood Chain ended the day ahead of both Ethereum mainnet and Base. Decentralized exchange volume surpassed $1.5 billion on September 1, also a record. Total value locked was just over $750…

Bitcoin’s price yet again failed to secure the resistance above $65,000 as the market conditions turn bearish. The token struggled below the range, despite a strong recovery from the lows around $57,650. Currently, the price is trading around $63,450 after experiencing a drop of nearly 2.76%, while trading volume increased by 23.85%. On the other hand, the whale wallets have been accumulating an enormous amount of $BTC over the past few days as retail participation seems to have weakened. The question now arises: can sustained whale buying help the $BTC price reclaim $65,500? Bitcoin Whales Continue Accumulating Despite Slowing Retail…

Tether is winding down Alloy by Tether, a platform built around dollar-tracking aUSDT debt backed by Tether Gold collateral. Starting Sept. 17, customers who have not returned their aUSDT will no longer be able to recover XAUT through the platform. The remaining exposure is far smaller than the aUSDT contract’s headline supply.

The upgrade is the storage component of a three-part architecture overhaul that also includes Autobahn for consensus and Ares for transaction execution. Consensus. Execution.

The American Bankers Association is pressing US regulators to require anyone who buys or redeems a payment stablecoin directly with its issuer to open an account and complete customer identification. For a holder coming from self-custody, that would turn a direct cash-out into an issuer-onboarding event. The Blockchain Association accepts identity checks for direct primary-market account customers but says an optional one-off redemption or a redemption routed through another regulated intermediary should not automatically make the underlying holder an issuer customer. The disagreement surfaced in comments on a joint federal proposal for stablecoin issuer customer identification programs, known as CIPs.…

South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Upbit will add Bitcoin and Tether trading pairs for Biconomy, Bubblemaps, Nillion and ETHGas on Aug. 21.

Upbit did not give a detailed reason for the change. It apologized for the inconvenience and retained the previously announced deposit networks and initial order restrictions. The exchange warned that trading could face another delay if deposits and withdrawals fail to establish sufficient liquidity before the revised…
