The Fed Chair acknowledged a softer labor market has gotten his attention, but reminded that inflation remains too high. Bitcoin bounced higher, but quickly gave back any gains. The chances of a September rate cut edged just so slightly higher on Tuesday as U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said elevated inflation is not the only risk faced by the economy. “Reducing policy restraint too late or too little could unduly weaken economic activity and employment,” said Powell in prepared remarks for his Humphrey-Hawkins testimony in front of a Senate committee. In the question and answer session that followed, Powell…

Polygon Labs, the main developer firm behind the layer-2 blockchain Polygon, released on Tuesday the latest version of its zero-knowledge proving system, “Plonky3” – designed to be more flexible than the previous model. A proving system is at the heart of zero-knowledge rollups, and a crucial component in the cryptographic security of distributed networks with multiple layers.

Attention-hungry memecoin devs are sharing nudes, suicide threats, and porn to pump.fun after the Solana-based platform introduced livestreaming. Pump.fun announced the new feature last night, telling users to “go wild.” And so far, they haven’t disappointed. Indeed, while most of the new coins flooding the platform seem harmless and are marketed with kittens or dogs, others are promoted with explicit pornographic and racist material. For example, one user using the ticker ‘BUTTHOL’ was caught livestreaming his bare behind, along with a description that read simply, “This a livestream of my Butthole.” Another user created a coin with the ticker ‘GLOCKLIVE’…

Crypto developers have leveraged the newly introduced Runes token standard to launch an all-new dollar-pegged stablecoin native to the Bitcoin blockchain. But there’s a twist: its developers told Decrypt that the token, USDh, is backed by and redeemable for BTC rather than actual cash. In fact, the stablecoin offers a yield to holders that they said could soar as high as 25% per year. “USDh is Bitcoin all the way down, which means the protocol doesn’t rely on fiat rails and can operate completely outside the traditional banking system,” said Jakob Schillinger, founder & CEO of Hermetica, the stablecoin protocol…

Renowned economist and financial commentator Peter Schiff has once again issued a warning about Bitcoin’s price action, claiming that the cryptocurrency bubble is on the verge of bursting. Schiff, a longtime critic of Bitcoin, has constantly claimed that it has no intrinsic value and is a speculative asset doomed to fail. In response to a recent tweet, Schiff stated that Bitcoin’s recent price movements might be indicative of an impending crash. All sarcasm aside, it’s hard to tell if this time the bubble finally has popped. The one thing that’s for sure is that it is, in fact, a bubble.…
