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. Regulators have wavered between silence and sudden crackdowns, leaving developers, investors and institutions paralysed with doubt. In 2025, this started to change. 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. The odds of the CLARITY Act being signed into law are high. Read more -

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. Industry sources argued that low floats and automated market makers (AMMs) help sustain prices temporarily, but once vesting unlocks begin, sell pressure typically overwhelms the market. Some tokens spike at launch on hype and scarcity, but most slide steadily as supply enters circulation. Read more -

Song accused BTC Core developers of defecting and failing to address widespread community concerns about non-monetary data on the ledger. Jimmy Song, a Bitcoin (BTC) developer and advocate, slammed the decision by Bitcoin Core developers to remove the OP_Return limit for non-monetary data embedded on the Bitcoin blockchain in the upcoming Bitcoin Core 30 upgrade, calling it “fiat” mentality. Song accused the Core developers of deflecting user concerns about removing the OP_Return limit, which is currently 80 bytes in size, and ignoring the significant pushback from the Bitcoin community and node runners. He also said: You can argue whether that's something desirable or not, but saying you can't define it is a stalling tactic meant to avoid the real argument about actual impact — particularly, the long-term impact of this change,” Song continued.

Blockchain, artificial intelligence, and online platforms are the future of commerce as the world moves to an internet-first economy. The traditional economy is being phased out in advanced countries that are transitioning to an internet-first economy dominated by the tech industry and digital platforms, according to Balaji Srinivasan, a former executive at crypto exchange Coinbase and the author of “The Network State.” “The legacy economy is being sunset in favor of the Internet economy,” Srinivasan said in an X post on Saturday. He shared a chart showing the price divergence between the “Magnificent Seven” tech stocks, which are enjoying meteoric growth, and the remainder of companies in the S&P 500 index, which have remained fairly flat since 2005.

Crypto’s path forward lies in embracing imperfect regulation. Waiting for flawless frameworks will only stall adoption, innovation and the tokenization of real assets. Opinion by: Kevin de Patoul, co-founder and CEO of Keyrock There’s a certain déjà vu in crypto right now. Real-world assets (RWAs), tokenized funds and onchain treasuries are all buzzwords we’ve spoken about for years. In 2022, when hype far outpaced real adoption, a report by BCG projected that the total size of tokenized assets could reach $16 trillion by 2030. The current market cap is sitting at $50 billion in 2025. This time, it feels slightly different, and it’s not just because giants like BlackRock are launching tokenized money market funds or Circle’s USDC becoming the de facto settlement layer for Treasury bonds onchain.

As EU lawmakers near a decision on the “Chat Control” law, privacy experts warn it could break public trust in digital communication and push users toward Web3 platforms. As European lawmakers near a decision on the controversial “Chat Control” legislation, privacy experts warn it could break public trust in digital communication and push users toward Web3 platforms. At the center of the debate is the EU’s proposed Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse, which would require platforms to scan private messages for illegal content before they are encrypted. Critics say this effectively creates a backdoor into encrypted systems, contradicting the EU’s own commitments to privacy. Read more
