As crypto goes mainstream, regulation is no longer a distant threat or bureaucratic detail — it’s the new foundation. Crypto regulation is becoming a foundational part of how digital assets function globally. Crypto regulation is the evolving rulebook that defines how digital assets are built, traded and used. It spans everything from tax rules and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks to licensing, custody standards and protecting users in the fast-moving world of crypto. Read more

To achieve true mass adoption, DeFi must return to its P2P origins, empower people with permissionless interactions, and restore the transparency that early DeFi promised. Opinion by: Jean Rausis, co-founder of SmarDex Decentralized finance (DeFi) began with a clear vision: to enable a global, permissionless financial system built on peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions, free from the constraints of traditional finance (TradFi).

The risk is that the US is front-run by Pakistan, and they were on stage at Las Vegas saying, ‘well, you inspired us to start,’ the 13-year Bitcoiner explains. Read more
