TLDR: The SEC crypto meeting was canceled over an unforeseen scheduling issue, delaying a vote on tailored fundraising rules for token issuers. Commissioners were due to consider a proposal, not final rules, meaning approval would have opened a public review and revision process. Paul Atkins previously floated a four-year startup exemption with a possible $5 million cap, alongside a broader fundraising pathway. The delay overlaps with the Senate’s five-week recess, leaving the CLARITY Act and the SEC proposal on separate, uncertain timelines. The SEC crypto meeting planned for Friday has been canceled, postponing a vote on crypto offering rules. The…

One month ago, ZachXBT said something that got him buried in backlash: that hardware wallets, the devices the entire crypto industry tells people to trust with their life savings, were “complete garbage.” He wasn’t vague about it either, singling out Ledger by name. The community pushed back hard. Then, in the span of a few weeks, two of the industry’s most respected hardware wallet makers each had a genuinely bad month, and the backlash started looking a lot less justified.The Warning Nobody Wanted To HearOn July 15, 2026, ZachXBT posted in a Telegram message that he doesn’t consider current hardware…

Tiffany Milanovich apparently never got the memo on an old rule in crime: the moment you start showing off, you start leaving evidence. While allegedly draining victims of millions in crypto, she wasn’t hiding in the shadows, she was posting the receipts herself, recording her own taunts, and flexing stolen funds like trophies. Now, on-chain investigator ZachXBT says all that bragging has caught up with her, in a report that reads less like a crime blotter and more like a masterclass in how not to get away with it.I’ve followed enough of these ZachXBT threads to know they rarely stay…

I’ve spent the last few years telling friends and family the same thing: switch to passkeys, they can’t be phished. That advice wasn’t wrong exactly, but reading through this new research left me a little humbled. Three separate teams just showed that you don’t need to break FIDO2’s cryptography to beat it. You just need to find the messy human infrastructure sitting around it, a logging service that kept too much, a memory buffer that lingered too long, a session that trusted too easily. None of them cracked the math. All three still got in.What The Research Actually FoundThree independent…

TLDR: World Liberty faces fresh scrutiny after Guren Bobby Zhou, linked to Aqua 1’s $100 million WLFI purchase, was tied to an active UK money laundering investigation. British authorities arrested Zhou in 2021 on suspicion of money laundering, but prosecutors have not charged him, and the investigation remains open. The source of Aqua 1’s $100 million WLFI purchase remains unclear, while blockchain analysis linked separate $20 million and $80 million buys to related wallets. World Liberty says it followed applicable laws and maintains strong compliance controls, while its spokesperson declined to discuss the source of Zhou’s funds. World Liberty is…

When I saw this thread circulating during NFT season, my first reaction wasn’t shock, it was déjà vu. It comes back, and somehow so does every familiar name from the last cycle, the good, the bad, and apparently the previously investigated.This time it’s Cole Villemain, better known online as ColeThereum, a Pudgy Penguins co-founder who was pushed out of his own project by the community he built it with. He’s back, he’s raised over a million dollars in hours, and a lot of people online, including a detailed recap posted by @ProMint_X, are asking the same question I am: didn’t…

Then came the massive capital overhang. Venture funds raised billions during the last cycle, leaving crypto treasuries flush with idle cash. As the market matured, founders ran into a brutal wall, specifically an oversupply of tech primitives and a severe shortage of scalable consumer distribution. To prove traction to their investors, crypto founders started buying their way into the corporate world. They began paying Web2 enterprises and legacy financial institutions for design partnerships, pilot programs, and non-binding MOUs. It is the ultimate venture trap, and it is masking the real structural transformation happening in digital assets. Why Paid Enterprise Pilots…

Crypto industry leaders are voicing frustration after the U.S. Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act before its August recess, leaving the market structure bill facing a crucial procedural vote weeks before the 2026 midterm elections. Summary Senate leaders filed cloture, setting up a Sept. 15 procedural vote on the CLARITY Act. Coinbase executives and Sen. Cynthia Lummis called the pre-recess failure disappointing and frustrating. Ethics restrictions and stablecoin rewards remain unresolved as the bill seeks 60 Senate votes. Polymarket traders give CLARITY a 25% chance of becoming law during 2026. CLARITY Act faces a Sept. 15 procedural vote Senate…

Every crypto cycle produces a new asset class nobody quite has the tools to measure properly, and Cookie.fun has built its entire business around quantifying the latest one: attention itself.The platform doesn’t trade tokens, doesn’t run a marketplace, and doesn’t do anything you’d typically associate with a crypto platform’s front page. What it does is track exactly how much of the internet’s attention any given AI agent or crypto project is actually capturing, in real time, and turn that into a number traders are increasingly building strategies around. What it does is track exactly how much of the internet’s attention…
