By April 2025, Ethereum’s proportion of the total value locked (TVL) on all blockchains had declined from about 96% in 2021 to 51%. This decline shows how fluid the universe of blockchains is.

Florida’s choice to indefinitely delay House Bill 487 and Senate Bill 550 represents a major break in the state’s investigation of creating a planned bitcoin reserve.

This action fits a larger national trend where similar bitcoin reserve measures have languished in several states. States like Pennsylvania,…

Now, the Trump crypto memecoin is the focus of a political, financial, and digital ethics contentious debate. Former President Donald Trump’s audacious foray into crypto has changed the way politicians interact with supporters and with money. Trump officially launched the Trump crypto memecoin on the Solana blockchain in January 2025. Melania Trump released her version, $MELANIA, days later. Social media and celebrity-like branding helped both tokens find great appeal. Trump personally said $TRUMP was the “only official Trump meme” and worked extensively online promotion for it. The financial arrangement, though, questioned judgment even with the buzz. Trump-linked companies include CIC…

Clarity on crypto staking regulations has emerged as a key demand from the digital asset sector as pressure on the SEC increases. Nearly 30 significant cryptocurrency companies, including exchanges, infrastructure providers, and venture firms, formally petitioned the SEC in early 2025. They requested clear direction on how staking should be handled under federal securities laws. This united push reflects growing concern over the present enforcement-heavy approach and its stifling effect on development in the US crypto sector.
