California’s SB 822 ends forced crypto sell-offs and requires holders to send in-kind transfers of unclaimed crypto to the state, promoting stronger consumer rights. California’s Senate Bill 822 (SB 822), signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom in October 2025, makes California the first US state to protect unclaimed crypto assets from forced liquidation. Treating digital assets similarly to bank accounts and securities, SB 822 requires unclaimed cryptocurrencies to be transferred in their native form rather than immediately liquidated. This helps prevent forced liquidation of assets like Bitcoin (BTC) or Ether (ETH), which could otherwise trigger taxable events for holders without their consent. Read more

BTE offers epochless, constant-size decryption shares (as small as 48 bytes) that can help layer-2 rollups to achieve pending transaction privacy. Batched Threshold Encryption (BTE) builds on foundational concepts such as threshold cryptography, which enable secure collaboration among multiple parties without exposing sensitive data to any single participant. BTE is an evolution of the earliest TE-encrypted mempool schemes, such as Shutter, which we have covered previously. For now, all existing work on BTE remains at the prototype or research stage, but it could shape the future of decentralized ledgers if successful. This creates a clear opportunity for more research and potential adoption, which we will explore in this article.  On most modern blockchains, transaction data is publicly viewable in the mempool before it is sequenced, executed and confirmed in a block. This transparency creates avenues for sophisticated parties to engage in extractive practices known as Maximal Extractable Value (MEV). MEV ex...

Fake “Cointelegraph” accounts are scamming crypto users. Learn how to spot impostors, verify identities and stay protected in 2025. If you’re a tier-1 crypto media sales representative in 2025, chances are you have an impersonator. These are often fake Telegram, X or LinkedIn accounts offering “Tier-1 PR” to unsuspecting businesses, only to share a personal USDT wallet address when it’s time to pay.

It’s a textbook impostor play: borrowing a newsroom’s credibility, promising coverage and moving targets into private direct messages (DMs) where the scam continues. Read more
