The White House has backed the crypto industry’s demand for DeFi software developer protections. On Friday, Trump’s crypto advisor, Patrick Witt, said the developer protections were “one of the most important aspects” of the CLARITY Act, the broader crypto bill being reviewed by the Senate. Source: X He cautioned that outlawing code would serve nothing but drive the financial innovation to go offshore. The proposed developer protections, captured in a separate bill, the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), aim to prevent non-controlling developers from being categorized as money transmitters. The proposal was introduced in January 2026 by Senator Cynthia Lummis.…

From the time the PAC was announced, the effort was reportedly tied to Tether, though the company declined to confirm the…

Bitcoin mining runs the risk of becoming more centralized as time goes on, while artificial intelligence could be moving in the opposite direction, according to Galaxy Research head Alex Thorn. Thorn said that while Bitcoin mining began decentralized, with users mining Bitcoin on their personal computers, it has since become far more centralized, requiring ASIC miners or industrial-scale farms. “AI may follow the opposite path,” said Galaxy’s research head Alex Thorn on Sunday, explaining that AI started centralized in giant hosted clusters, but as frontier models experience “data scarcity, context limits, and memory bottlenecks, open-source models could close the gap.”…
