Super Tuesday’s array of congressional primary results could have some implications for who will be minding the store in Washington, and crypto insiders are trying to have their say. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong argued that politicians need to start realizing how wide a constituency crypto enthusiasts represent. The long list of primary elections Tuesday across 15 U.S. states will steer the fates of many seats in Congress and further solidifies the presidential showdown later this year, but Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said it’s also a “chance to send a message” to federal politicians who’ve declined to come up with crypto…
Solana, with its latest upgrade designed to enhance transaction processing capabilities, along with the buzz around potential groundbreaking consumer apps, is poised to challenge Ethereum’s supremacy. This development has sparked considerable interest among blockchain enthusiasts. It signifies a potentially transformative phase for Solana, often called the “Ethereum killer.” Will Solana Flip Ethereum? According to Solana’s 2023 developer report, the platform boasts between 2,500 and 3,000 monthly active developers. It retained over 50% of its developers from the previous year. This statistic is crucial, reflecting the platform’s growing appeal and its competitiveness with Ethereum. Moreover, the increase in developer activity on…
German-based fund manager Union Investment has launched a new blockchain fund to diversify its portfolio. Dubbed the UniThemen Blockchain Fund, the blockchain-based fund will operate a multifaceted strategy, holding actual digital currencies and stocks linked to blockchain.

There are also plans to allocate a portion of its assets to bonds, as long as…
The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has agreed to discard any data it already collected in response to its emergency Bitcoin mining survey, court documents filed Friday showed. If the agency receives any further data, it has committed to destroying that as well. “EIA will sequester and keep confidential any information it has received or will receive in response to the EIA-862 Emergency Survey until it is destroyed,” the filing said. The agreement with the Texas Blockchain Council effectively terminates a temporary restraining order that had been in effect until March 8, halting the US energy regulators from collecting the…
Payments are one of the most promising areas for blockchain technology. But I believe they are not always well understood, and the discussion sometimes gets confused and overly ambitious. Blockchains could face an uphill battle to replace traditional payment systems even though they look relatively competitive at the moment. On the other hand, I think many people are ignoring the biggest opportunity areas because they are not looking at the true transaction costs. Paul Brody is EY’s global blockchain leader and a CoinDesk columnist. One enduring myth is that old technologies, like mainframes, are driving up the cost of payments.…
Continuing a trend established years ago, top U.S. crypto exchange Coinbase disclosed Tuesday that “some users may be experiencing errors when transacting.” The status update—posted at around 3pm EST—came four minutes after the company reported its previous slate of “intermittent transaction failures” as resolved. These latest technical troubles come hours after the price of Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high—before collapsing after the milestone triggered liquidations and sell-offs. In the frenzied run-up to the new record price, Coinbase was working overnight on availability issues, with a previous status note posted fifteen hours prior. “Some users may experience intermittent errors…
Pixels is undoubtedly the hottest game in crypto right now following last month’s token launch and airdrop, with the Ronin farming game pulling in hundreds of thousands of daily users. Given that success, why then is the gameplay “completely changing” in the coming months? It’s all to do with next week’s initial introduction of in-game guilds, a social finance (SocialFi) feature that takes cues from last year’s crop of buzzy protocols like Friend.tech and Stars Arena. Essentially, players will be able to form in-game guilds via NFT membership passes, which can be resold and granted unique perks and benefits. But…
The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a cease-and-desist against crypto exchange ShapeShift, barring it from operating as an unregistered dealer in the U.S. that listed crypto securities. ShapeShift offered to settle the charges, which the SEC said it accepted. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a cease-and-desist against ShapeShift, a crypto exchange that previously operated out of Denver, Colorado, but has since shut down its U.S. exchange operations, alleging it operated before 2021 as an unregistered dealer for cryptocurrencies that were securities. As part of Tuesday’s filing, the SEC said it would accept a settlement offer by ShapeShift, which…
In an ambitious move to transform the DeFi landscape, the Radix Network has unveiled Project Ignition, a staggering $10 million liquidity initiative set to bolster the liquidity for major cryptocurrencies such as USDC, USDT, wBTC, and ETH on its platform. Slated for launch on March 14th, 2024, this groundbreaking program promises to redefine liquidity provision on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Project Ignition is not your average liquidity-boosting scheme. For every dollar liquidity providers (LPs) commit to the program, they’ll be matched with an equal amount of XRD, Radix’s native token, effectively doubling the liquidity they provide. This means that LPs are…
