Michael Bassett, chief legal officer at institutional DeFi platform Sentora, said the remarks indicate that discussions about bringing DeFi into the regulatory fold are gaining momentum. Peirce’s Remarks and Their Context Speaking publicly, Peirce reiterated the SEC’s longstanding position that activity executed on a blockchain does not automatically exempt it from federal securities laws. However,…

Almost none tells you that the label covers three incompatible designs, that who takes the other side of your trade differs completely between them, and that the difference only becomes visible during the hour you most need to understand it.

Only about 20% to 30% of businesses that go up for sale find a buyer at all, per the Exit Planning Institute. Orange Juice Holdings Inc. wants to become one of those buyers, with the additional plan to acquire cash-flowing businesses generating $1 million to $10 million a year, hold them permanently, pay sellers partly in Orange Juice stock, and put some of the retained earnings toward…

Moonbeam’s standard GLMR migration window closed last night at 23:59 UTC (July 31), as its Polkadot network moved into an operational wind-down ahead of a relaunch on Base. The cutoff ended the standard route for self-custodied free balances, while exchange holdings, frozen balances, and protocol positions remained subject to separate handling. The official migration locked GLMR on Moonbeam and released the same amount from a reserve minted in advance on Base, sending tokens to the same user address at a 1:1 rate. At 20:20 UTC on July 31, less than four hours before the cutoff, the migration contract held about…

Digital Currency Group (DCG), a prominent crypto investment firm, has formally urged U.S. Senate leadership to expedite passage of the CLARITY Act, according to a letter sent by the company.

The firm argued that the United States risks losing its competitive edge in blockchain innovation without…

Under the policy, foreign law enforcement agencies must route certain requests through Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties, or MLATs. The treaties provide a formal process for governments to exchange evidence and information in criminal investigations, but requests can take considerably longer than direct cooperation with an exchange. The change represents a departure from Binance’s previous approach, under which it worked directly with authorities to freeze suspicious accounts and provide information about users under investigation, the NYT said. “Binance has not slowed its cooperation with global law enforcement,” a spokesperson said in an email to CoinDesk. “On the contrary, we have increased…
