Cardano traded near $0.1885 on Aug. 11, down about 4.7% over 24 hours and back below the $0.20 level, as traders weighed fresh technical warning signals against a changing U.S. exchange traded fund backdrop. Grayscale withdrew the registration statement for its proposed Cardano Trust ETF on Aug. 7, two days before CME Cardano futures completed six months of trading. The timing matters because the SEC’s generic listing standards allow a commodity based ETP to satisfy one eligibility route when its underlying asset has had a futures contract trading for at least six months on a CFTC regulated designated contract market.…

Tuesday at 2:15 in the afternoon, the Senate holds a procedural vote that decides whether America gets crypto market structure law in this Congress. Look at who wants it. The Treasury Secretary has publicly told the Senate to pass it. The President worked senators directly at a White House meeting with Ripple’s CEO, Coinbase’s CEO and the SEC chairman in the room. The Majority Leader filed cloture before the August recess instead of quietly letting the bill rot on the calendar. Brian Armstrong says flatly that it passes. Now look at the count. Sixty votes. Republicans have fifty-three. At least…

Robinhood Wallet and social trading app Fomo have introduced a feature that allows users to purchase memecoins using credit cards through Apple Pay and Google Pay, bypassing the need for a separate know-your-customer (KYC) process at checkout.

How the Payment Classification Works By categorizing memecoin purchases as digital goods rather than cash advances or financial product purchases, these transactions are treated like…

No, your $ETH are not in danger today, and you do not need to move anything. On September 7, 2026, the Ethereum Foundation announced that Ethereum L1 should become quantum-resistant by December 2029. That is a deadline for developers rather than a warning to holders. What counts for you is a different fact, one that appears in none of the reports on this decision: every Ethereum account that has ever sent a transaction disclosed its public key in doing so. That is exactly what the risk hangs on, and exactly where Ethereum differs from Bitcoin. This piece sets out what…

Singapore is moving fraud detection beyond the data held by individual banks, testing whether financial institutions, law enforcement and the regulator can identify suspicious payment chains through a shared testing setup.

Bitcoin [$BTC] surged past the $66,000 mark for the first time since the 17th of June. The move tracks a broader market recovery playing out across altcoins, with the total crypto market capitalization crossing $2.25 trillion on the back of the rally. Yet the data shows Bitcoin may still be undervalued at its current price, and the question is whether investors will treat that discount as a reason to accumulate the asset. An undervalued Bitcoin A recent CryptoQuant report, analyzing the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) percentile, places Bitcoin at an undervalued level. The MVRV percentile measures where Bitcoin…
