The cryptocurrency ecosystem is rapidly developing, and along with that development, there is more need for regulatory oversight than ever before. What ought to be the bedrock principles underlying these regulations? Today, a big conversation in philanthropy is around the concept of decentralization. This last issue is most relevant in...

The crypto landscape, as you all know, is a bit of a minefield right now. We’ve been promised this was the future of finance, a peer-to-peer decentralized dream, but instead it’s filled with rug pulls, volatility, and regulatory chaos. The current regulatory approach, fervently fixated on decentralization, is like mending...

Ripple and the SEC have jointly asked to stay their appeal process. This action would be a major victory for them, potentially the final victory in their long legal struggle. The joint request, filed April 10, asks the court to hold all proceedings on the appeal in abeyance. This surprising...

That $85,000 inflection point for Bitcoin isn’t simply an arbitrary mark on a price chart. This is the front line in an invisible war. So begins the epic clash of the lore of the crypto unicorn versus the coming regulatory storm. I'm not just talking about profits and losses here;...

The crypto market's Q3 rebound is generating buzz, and while the green shoots are encouraging, let's be brutally honest: this rollercoaster needs guardrails.

The CDU's conversion to crypto evangelism? To be clear, it’s enough to make a seasoned conservative like myself go from furrowing his brow to full-on skeptical eyebrows, if not both. Only a few months ago were they singing this alternative melody, one that called for short leashes and outright prohibitions....

For too long, Germany has been constrained by regulatory dogmas when it comes to crypto. The CDU’s erstwhile hardline approach was like seeing a once-great artist being compelled to create with his non-dominant hand. Innovation was stifled, potential wasted and the promise of a decentralized future pretty much extinguished by...

The CyberKongz saga is finally over. The SEC has now formally wrapped up its nearly two year investigation, and honestly, it’s about fucking time. This isn't just a win for one NFT project; it's a flashing neon sign screaming, "Gensler's reign of terror is finally over!"Let's be clear: this investigation...

Today, the SEC announced it is voluntarily dismissing its case against Helium (HNT). This change is tremendously encouraging and refreshing in this suffocating regulatory climate for the crypto space. Sure, they reached a $200,000 settlement, but with no admission of guilt. This doesn’t replace or excuse their wrongdoing, but it...
