Swell’s documentation says the swETH exchange rate determines how many tokens depositors receive and how much $ETH is returned when they unstake. An inflated rate therefore distorts those conversions; it does…
The exchange brought Schiff’s long-running skepticism of the world’s number one cryptocurrency back into the spotlight. The skepticism can be traced back at least as far as 2011. Schiff’s bear market predictions Schiff has been very vocal in his criticism of Bitcoin dating back to 2011, when he dismissed the cryptocurrency as a fad. In November 2013, when Bitcoin was trading around $350, Schiff drew a parallel between the cryptocurrency’s meteoric growth and the notorious Dutch tulip mania. He said during an interview with CNBC that he believed the speculative run of Bitcoin would eventually collapse. Bitcoin experienced a massive…
“AI is driving one of the largest investment cycles in history, despite the financial infrastructure around it remaining quite underdeveloped,” said Max Killberg of Village Global. He said the firm sees an opportunity to develop financial markets around AI, rather than simply back another prediction market. Manifold Markets co-founder Stephen Gruggett told CoinDesk that MNX’s approach is better suited to private companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic, whose shares trade infrequently and are difficult to price. “OpenAI, Anthropic secondaries are illiquid and hard to price,” he said. “A perp based on an illiquid, stale price is worse than meaningless: it…

The developer never takes up volume-based dynamic commissions. This means they are banned from taking a “cut” of the trading volume passing through the software. Before this official statement, the CFTC had set a precedent for this kind of developer regulation by granting a no-action position to Phantom Technologies in March. The Phantom Wallet provider now continues to partner with Kalshi prediction markets as a non-custodial passive interface provider, without needing to register as…

The increase shows renewed large-holder activity, but deposits alone do not confirm selling. Source: CryptoQuant. The move is notable because it is not simply one unusually large transaction. The rolling 30-day measure captures sustained transfers into Binance over a broader window. $XRP Whale…
