Washington’s battle over cryptocurrency regulation could set up a potential clash between pro-crypto Democratic lawmakers and Senator Elizabeth Warren, a longtime fault-finder of the digital assets industry. The divide comes just months into Warren’s tenure as the liberal leader on the Senate Banking Committee, placing her at odds with some members of her party. Republican lawmakers, who now have Congressional control with a 53 to 47 lead over Democrats, want to make the United States the “crypto capital of the planet” in support of President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto policies. But to see through the laws that Trump would like in…

For context, Bitcoin’s price dipped by over 10% yesterday, crashing below $86K, a new low for 2025. This development sent shockwaves through the broader altcoin markets. Tokens like Dogecoin,…

BitMEX co-founder and former CEO Arthur Hayes has expressed skepticism over US President Donald Trump’s recent announcement of a strategic cryptocurrency reserve, describing it as “nothing new” and questioning its viability. Arthur Hayes Slams Trump’s Crypto Reserve Plan as ‘Just Talk’ “Nothing new here just words,” Hayes wrote on X in response to Trump’s post. “Let me know when they get congressional approval to borrow money or push the price of gold even higher.

The following is a guest post by Marc Boiron, CEO at Polygon Labs. In a world of fake news, misinformation and declining faith in traditional institutions, blockchain should bridge the divide by bringing something incredibly powerful and utterly unique to the table: trustlessness. Or, at least, it should. Unfortunately, blockchain has always suffered from its own divisions, which have prevented the decentralization revolution from fulfilling its potential. In 2024, things began to change. We saw incredible technical progress to unite the fractured blockchain ecosystem. This year, we’ll finally see decentralization start to deliver its promises of bridging the divide. The…
