I think it says something when an entire industry of competing hardware wallet makers, including Ledger, companies that rarely coordinate on anything publicly, all rush to say the exact same thing within hours of each other: not us, not our devices, not our problem. That’s exactly what happened today. Bitkey, Ledger, Trezor, Jade, and Tangem all moved quickly to reassure their own users they were unaffected by a specific hardware wallet failure. The wallet at the center of that failure is Coldcard, and the reason everyone else felt compelled to speak up is a $38 million theft that traces back…

Bitcoin and Ethereum edged higher into July 31, while a small shift in market dominance suggested traders were again watching whether capital was rotating toward major altcoins. The validated notes show Bitcoin rising 0.29% to about $64,145.86, while Ethereum traded around the $1,890 to $1,920 range, briefly dipping below $1,900 before recovering. At the same time, BTC and ETH dominance slipped slightly, pointing to a modest move into other crypto assets. That is not enough to declare “altseason,” and it would be lazy to pretend otherwise. But it is enough to say the market is becoming more selective. Bitcoin and…

TLDR: George Santos will pay $35,069.98 under a CFTC settlement covering $17,569.98 in disgorged profits and a $17,500 civil penalty. The order bars Santos from prediction market trading for three years after trades tied to his State of the Union attendance. The CFTC says social posts and omitted travel updates moved contract prices favorably while Santos changed positions on Kalshi. Kalshi says it flagged the activity, referred evidence to regulators, and plans separate enforcement with possible trader reimbursement. George Santos has agreed to pay more than $35,000 to settle Commodity Futures Trading Commission allegations involving Kalshi trades. The CFTC settlement…

TLDR: Grayscale urged Senate leaders to schedule a CLARITY Act floor vote before the August recess, warning that regulatory delays restrict institutional participation. The House passed H.R. 3633 by 294-134, while the Senate Banking Committee advanced the measure 15-9 before sending it toward the chamber floor. Senate negotiations still cover ethics enforcement, stablecoin rewards, developer protections, and counter-terrorist-financing compliance language. Republicans hold 53 Senate seats, so supporters may need at least seven Democratic votes to clear the 60-vote procedural threshold. Grayscale has urged Senate leaders to schedule a CLARITY Act vote before lawmakers leave Washington for the August recess. The…

Binance Wallet’s latest updates offer a seamless solution for anyone dealing with token dust scattered across multiple addresses, tiny leftover balances that are too small to swap, too annoying to ignore, and too numerous to deal with one at a time. So when Binance Wallet rolled out a proper Dust Conversion tool alongside an expanded Meme Rush feed in the same week, I paid closer attention than I normally would to what looks, on the surface, like a routine update.Cleaning Up Dust Without The Usual HassleBinance Wallet announced Dust Conversion is now live, letting users clean up forgotten value sitting…

ZUG, Switzerland — July 29, 2026 — Many crypto OTC desks require full prefunding. A payment provider that wants to convert 1 million euros places 1 million euros with the desk before the trade executes. The rule is simple and it protects the desk, but the cost of it sits entirely on the client’s balance sheet. For a fund making an occasional trade, 100% prefunding is an inconvenience. For a payment provider converting merchant volume every day, it is a permanent claim on working capital, and it grows with the business. An alternative already exists. Margin-based settlement executes the same…

I’ve written about crypto theft enough times to develop a kind of professional numbness to the dollar figures. This story broke through that numbness anyway, not because of the amount stolen, but because of how avoidable every single piece of it turns out to be once you actually look at the details. Three separate crypto theft vectors surfaced within days of each other this week, and they all point to the same uncomfortable truth: the platforms people trust most, Apple’s App Store, Google Play, and Google Search itself, are still the weakest link in crypto security, not the blockchain. The…

TLDR: CLARITY Act negotiations now hinge on ethics language, with Democrats seeking stronger limits before a possible August Senate vote. The merged Senate draft gives crypto markets a clearer procedural path, but the August 7 recess leaves little room for delay. The XRP price holds near the $1.10 area as traders track $1.12 resistance, $1.09 support, and shifting regulatory sentiment. Derivatives activity rose with open interest at $2.43 billion, signaling higher XRP trading interest before key policy events. The CLARITY Act has become the main policy trigger for crypto traders as XRP holds near the $1.10 area. The latest Senate…
