    Self-Custodial Wallets Could Challenge Stablecoin Issuers' Ability to Satisfy Regulations: BoE

    Stablecoins circulating in the market aren't currently seen as having "systemic importance," wrote the Bank of England in a new discussion paper. But that may soon change. If there are pound-based stablecoins being used daily in the UK, such a crypto asset would likely have a much greater influence over the economy. That's why the same discussion paper also outlined what a potential regulatory framework would look like should that happen. Critically, the paper raises key concerns about the use o...

    What Is Solana? A Scalable, Decentralized Network for Dapps

    Decentralized applications, or dapps, are widely regarded as one of the key use cases for blockchain technology. In the last few years, dapps have come on in leaps and bounds, with dapp developers launching everything from games to decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms on blockchain—and a concomitant explosion in user interest. But there's a problem. The vast majority of these dapps run on Ethereum, which has struggled to keep up with rampant demand—leading to congestion on the network and soar...
