As a state representative for most rural areas of Alabama, I had the privilege of working with farmers, small business owners, and families representing our state’s backbone. These are people who rise before the sun, work long hours to provide a community, and continue to operate, relying on trusted local institutions, especially community banks and credit unions. Today, these rural communities face growing threats that they have never heard of. It’s time for Washington to act. As a member of the Senate Banking Committee, I encourage Senator Katie Britt to take the lead in filling this dangerous gap before it…

Since the collapse of FTX in 2022, many crypto investors have been treating centralized exchanges with caution. The collapse has left tens of thousands of Australians out of their pockets. The event highlighted the inherent risks associated with treating exchanges as digital wallets with crypto-holding. Our list exchanges have a good reputation and have great features, but exchanges are notoriously susceptible to hacking. Many exchanges offer built-in “hot wallets”, but the most experienced crypto traders often don’t use this storage method. Instead, they simply exchange coins and buy and sell cryptos in exchange, but remove crypto holdings and store them…

Opinion: Eran Barak, CEO of Shielded TechnologiesFor over a decade, US codes have been in the legal grey zone. Regulators swayed between silence and sudden crackdowns, paralyzing developers, investors and institutions without question. In 2025, this began to change. The SEC has removed the lawsuit against Binance, citing the need for more explicit rules. The Senate passed the Genius Act and introduced the Federal Framework for Stubcoin. There is a high probability of clarity acts signed by the law.Even the White House has changed its stance and reversed guidance that discourages employers from adding crypto to their crypto portfolios. The…

Opinion: Kevin de Patoul, Co-Founder and CEO of KeyrockNow there is a specific deja vu in the code. Real World Assets (RWAS), Tokenized Funds, and the On-Chain Treasury are all buzzwords we’ve spoken for years. In 2022, when the hype far outweighed actual adoption, the BCG report shows that the total size of tokenized assets could reach $16 trillion by 2030. The current market capitalization will be $50 billion in 2025. This time I feel it’s slightly different. It’s not because giants like BlackRock have launched tokenized money market funds, or because circle USDCs are the de facto settlement layer…

Opinion: Houston Morgan, Head of Growth and Business Development at ShapeshiftCrypto never did this. The promises were decentralisation, self-coercivity, and the end of gatekeepers. Rather than implementing fair governance and structure, too many crypto companies worship character and momentum.The irony is harsh. The movement built to eliminate central points of failure or control has repeatedly derailed by its own leadership. The same story is repeated from Exchange Founders, which are treated like a foresight of Defi Builder equipment. One person’s influence is permitted to outweigh the system. When the person spins around, everything falls apart.Outsized Control creates dangerous feedback loops.…

President Donald Trump has rejected Bitcoin, once the most popular cryptocurrency, “on the basis of a thin air.” It’s a “fraud.” It can “promote illegal behavior, such as drug trafficking or other illegal activities.” These words reflect the views of public citizens and many Americans, most of whom look dimly at the code. Now Trump calls himself the crypto president. And, badly, due to an unprecedented tsunami of political spending by a few codes “brothers” or promoters, the politically threatened Congress has already approved one code and is preparing to approve another earlier this month. Virginia Sen. Mark Warner will…
