On July 22, deputies launched the long-awaited debate on the…
With crypto policy now representing one of President Donald Trump’s most concrete achievements in his second term, the White House is reportedly gearing up toward further moves to affix digital assets into a more prominent role in the U.S. economy. Trump is widely expected to soon issue an executive order that calls for American’s retirement plans — the 401(k)s that represent a vast segment of U.S. investing — to open further to less traditional assets, which reportedly may include cryptocurrencies. If that comes to pass, it could ease a major portion of the investing public into digital assets, though it…

Meta is investing billions in AI infrastructure and intensifying efforts to recruit talent from rivals as it accelerates its push into artificial intelligence. But for all the talk of “superintelligence,” the company’s latest pivot raises questions of whether this is a genuine push for innovation or another high-stakes gamble. Meta’s plan is sweeping and expensive. In the second quarter of 2025 alone, the tech giant poured $17 billion into infrastructure, where CFO Susan Li said 2025’s total capital expenditure could hit $72 billion. With even more to come in 2026, a large portion will go towards building Prometheus and…
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has offered a reflection on his investing approach, admitting that, for all the debate and analysis, simply buying Bitcoin (BTC) might have been the smarter move all along. Portnoy shared that he talks with his financial advisor daily about stocks, only to confess they may have been overthinking it. All the back-and-forth, he suggested, might have distracted them from the obvious Bitcoin play, he said in an X post on July 14. His remarks hinted at a sense of frustration with traditional investing strategies that can leave investors second-guessing while the crypto market surges ahead.…
If you haven’t heard of SparkDEX yet, today’s the day to pay attention. On July 29, 2025, the team behind this Flare-native DEX will drop their very own token, $SPRK, and after watching what’s happened in the past couple of months, you’d better believe people are buzzing. Back in early May, SparkDEX did something smart: they hooked up with USDT0, Tether’s new multi-chain liquidity standard. Within weeks, TVL shot up by 650%, vaulting from about $12 million to over $90 million, and it’s stayed there. Trading volume exploded too. What took eight months to reach $1 billion suddenly tripled to $3 billion and more…

Responding to a question about whether he would retract his previous criticisms, Trump stated that he hoped Powell would lower interest rates and said that the board’s decision should be taken into consideration when making interest rate decisions. Trump also took aim at the spending plans for the Fed building renovation, saying, “Generally, if a project manager goes over budget, I fire them.” Sharing budget data for the Fed building renovation, Trump claimed the renovation cost…
Joint Response with INATBA and Cardano Foundation TL;DR:IOTA Foundation, INATBA, and Cardano Foundation urge the UK’s FCA to rethink one-size-fits-all crypto regulation. They call for clear distinctions between custodial vs. non-custodial services, smart oversight for DeFi, and a proportionate compliance model. Misguided rules risk pushing innovation offshore. Instead, the UK should lead with regulation that protects users without killing permissionless innovation. We’re living through the greatest financial transformation in human history. Open protocols are replacing closed systems. Permissionless networks are challenging gatekeeping institutions. And the UK stands at a crossroads: will it lead this revolution or regulate it out of…
An intriguing shift is taking place beneath the surface of XRP’s on-chain footprint, and this time it is tied to one of the largest U.S. crypto exchanges. Coinbase, which was previously holding an estimated 970 million XRP across 52 cold wallets, no longer has that same stockpile, according to XRPWallets. As of this week, only 35 of those addresses remain funded, marking a surprising 40% drop in just weeks. Back in June, 10 of Coinbase’s wallets contained 26.8 million XRP each, while 42 others held 16.8 million each. 35 Cold Wallets Remaining 16.8M xrp each — XRP_Liquidity (Larsen/Britto/Escrow/ODL/RLUSD) (@XRPwallets) July…
