Strive’s $675 million Bitcoin buy and Semler merger create a 10,900 BTC treasury company, making it one of the world’s top corporate BTC holders.

US steps in with a lifeline as Argentina battles peso turmoil, investor flight and President Javier Milei’s waning credibility. Crypto adoption surges. As Argentina grapples with soaring inflation and a run on the peso that has battered domestic asset prices, the United States has stepped in with the promise of a financial lifeline — though Bitcoin proponents remain skeptical it will make a difference. The peso tumbled roughly 4.5% last week as investors questioned President Javier Milei’s ability to deliver fiscal and structural reforms following his party’s poor showing in Buenos Aires provincial elections earlier this month. The sell-off was compounded by a corruption investigation involving a family member of Milei, deepening political uncertainty. Investor unease triggered heavy outflows from Argentine markets. The central bank was forced to spend about $1.1 billion over three days to defend the peso — a hefty sum given that the country holds only about $20 billion in liquid foreign reserves, according t... -

US regulatory frameworks signal acceptance of crypto, but most blockchains lack the privacy and compliance features institutions need. Opinion by: Eran Barak, CEO at Shielded Technologies For more than a decade, crypto in the US has existed in a legal gray zone.

The SEC dropped its case against Binance, citing the need for more explicit rules. The Senate passed the GENIUS Act, introducing a federal framework for stablecoins.

TGEs promise liftoff for new blockchains, but too often, they end with early exits, fading ecosystems and selling pressure for long-term supporters. Token generation events (TGEs) are increasingly criticized as exit ramps for crypto founders, leaving behind blockchains with little real activity. Projects often debut with thin circulating supply and inflated valuations, giving genuine supporters little chance to see sustainable returns.

Some tokens spike at launch on hype and scarcity, but most slide steadily as supply enters circulation. Read more -
