Crypto has gone mainstream as a financial asset class and TradFi institutions now feel obligated to dip their toes into the space, if only to show their existing clients that they aren’t afraid to handle innovative technologies. The problem, for some of them, is that staking — one of crypto’s most basic primitives — is still considered too dangerous. It exposes institutions to risks they are structurally unwilling to accept, like slashing, downtime, operational failures and returns that resist forecasting. As a result, many firms have limited themselves to holding spot $ETH or spot SOL or avoided the assets entirely.…

What to Expect From the Next Nonfarm Payrolls Report? The BLS reported early last week that it had postponed the release of the official employment report, originally scheduled on Friday, due to the partial government shutdown. After the US House passed a package on Tuesday…

Financial compliance has always been balanced on a delicate line: regulators need sufficient visibility to keep bad actors out, but users want their financial lives kept private just to make a payment or trade. In 2025, that tension is sharper than ever. We have stricter anti-money laundering (AML) rules, broader> This approach is not designed to obscure regulatory oversight. Instead, it modernizes the compliance toolset so regulated firms can demonstrate compliance with their legal duties (sanctions screening checks, KYC obligations, segregation of client assets, capital checks) without transferring or exposing the underlying data. ZKPs may be better for users and,…

BitGo has added a new layer to its developer offering with the launch of its Model Context Protocol, or MCP, Server. This move brings the company’s institutional crypto infrastructure directly into AI-assisted development workflows. The rollout, which BitGo says is now live through its Developer Portal, allows compatible AI tools to search, read and interact with BitGo documentation using natural language rather than manual browsing. BitGo says the feature is meant to help developers work faster across wallet, trading and staking integrations while staying anchored to the company’s official technical materials. The launch matters because it puts BitGo’s infrastructure in…

Decentralized finance (DeFi) produced roughly $8 billion in onchain yield in 2025, according to a detailed analysis published by researcher Vadym that maps the full spectrum of where DeFi returns actually originate. The breakdown reveals that yield is abundant in aggregate but unevenly distributed, often circular, and in many cases difficult to package into structured products. The findings land as yields across DeFi have dried up. Borrowing rates on major lending platforms have converged with the Federal Reserve’s policy rate, and “safe” stablecoin supply rates now average roughly 3% — below U.S. Treasuries and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. On…

A bond offering tied to bitcoin loans has run into problems after a sharp decline in crypto markets forced lenders to sell off a significant portion of the backing assets. Jefferies bankers have spent recent months reaching out to major investors about a $188 million bond backed by thousands of individual loans from crypto lending company Ledn. These borrowers pledged crypto to secure one-year loans, with the bond proceeds intended to fuel more lending activity. What triggered the forced liquidations? Unexpected issues arose from the recent bitcoin meltdown. An insider with knowledge of the transaction said that prices dropped 27%…

Coinbase users are complaining about receiving multiple push notifications per day urging them to “predict” sports gameplay during “March Madness” college basketball. Indeed, so many complaints were reported via X that it became a trending topic yesterday. Many customers, echoing allegations by state attorneys general in Michigan and Arizona, described the annoying promotions as de facto advertisements to gamble on sports. Coinbase, is one of the longest continually-operated bitcoin ($BTC) exchanges which safeguards billions of dollars’ worth of assets for customers. However, rather than focus on long-term investments like $BTC, Coinbase regularly floods its app with short-term promotions, all-or-nothing predictions,…
