    A Lawyer and His Wiener Doge Must Be Separated, Phantom Argues in Meme Coin Lawsuit

    You may love WIENER DOGE. You may live for WIENER DOGE. But you cannot create WIENER DOGE, and then represent a group of plaintiffs in a lawsuit centered on an alleged theft of WIENER DOGE—that’s, at least, according to a new legal filing.  In April, the creator of a Solana meme coin called WIENER DOGE (ever heard of it?) sued the popular crypto wallet Phantom, claiming that flaws in the wallet’s design led directly to the theft of over $500,000 worth of the token. Now, Phantom’s attorneys are h...

    Senate Passes Landmark Stablecoin Bill in Major Boon for Crypto Industry

    After months of dramatic starts and stops, the U.S. Senate successfully passed the GENIUS Act Tuesday afternoon, a landmark bill that formally establishes a framework for issuing and trading stablecoins in the United States. The bill passed 68-30, with 18 Democrats joining Republicans in support of the legislation. A Senate Republican, Josh Hawley (R-MO), voted against the bill, joining progressive Senate Democrats like Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) in opposition to provisions in the legislation that...

    Crypto Is Now Trump's Second-Most Lucrative Source of Income

    Donald Trump’s crypto holdings were his second biggest source of income last year—and that was before the president retook office and made billions more off the sector from the White House.  According to annual financial disclosure forms filed Friday with the United States Office of Government Ethics, Trump made over $58 million from crypto ventures in 2024. The vast majority of that revenue came from sales of WLFI, the governance token issued by World Liberty Financial, the Trump family’s crypt...

Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and leading consumer advocacy groups denounced a report Friday that Amazon and Walmart are considering issuing their own stablecoins, framing such developments as an unacceptable outcome of pending stablecoin legislation in the Senate. “Let’s not forget the GENIUS Act has a major loophole allowing Big Tech companies and major retailers to issue their own private currencies structured as stablecoins,” Warren said Friday in a statement shared with Decrypt. “If Congress...

    Weeks Before Trial, Tornado Cash’s Roman Storm Sounds Alarm: ‘If I Lose, DeFi Dies With Me’

    Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm issued one of his starkest rebukes yet of the Trump administration’s Department of Justice on Friday, arguing that if federal prosecutors prevail in the developer’s upcoming criminal trial, decentralized finance could be permanently destroyed.  “The DOJ wants to bury DeFi, saying I should’ve controlled it, added KYC, [and] never built it,” Storm wrote. “SDNY is trying to crush me, blocking every expert witness.” “If I lose, DeFi dies with me,” the crypto devel...

    'Attack of the Clones': Coinbase Raises Alarm on Risks With Bitcoin Treasury Model

    Coinbase issued a dire warning Thursday to publicly traded companies going all in on Bitcoin: The gains may be addictive now—but if and when the music stops and prices fall, disaster could ensue.  In a report on the crypto market’s outlook for the second half of 2025, Coinbase Head of Research David Duong predicted that the recent trend of American corporations spinning up multibillion dollar Bitcoin treasuries may be bullish in the near future, but poses “systemic risks” to the entire crypto ec...

    Crypto Industry’s Coveted Market Structure Bill Is Doomed, Lobbyists Say

    Late last night, the House’s crypto market structure bill passed votes in two committees, prompting celebration on Capitol Hill and statements of confidence from lawmakers that the legislation—which would establish a novel framework for regulating most crypto activity in the United States—is on a glide path to becoming law.  But privately, in the last week, crypto’s top lobbyists have come to a very different conclusion: For a variety of reasons, the chances of market structure legislation passi...

    Crypto Market Structure Bill Passes One House Committee, But Faces Steep Climb in Another

    The CLARITY Act successfully passed a vote by the House Agriculture Committee Tuesday—a widely expected outcome that still leaves plenty of hurdles for the crypto market structure legislation to overcome.  The bill, which would create a framework in the United States for issuing and trading most cryptocurrencies, passed the Ag Committee Tuesday morning in a decidedly bipartisan 47-6 committee vote. At the same time, down the hall, the CLARITY Act faced more intensive scrutiny from Democrats in a...

    Justin Sun-Linked BiT Global Drops Coinbase Lawsuit Over Wrapped Bitcoin

    Digital asset custodian BiT Global has agreed to permanently dismiss a lawsuit against Coinbase over the crypto exchange’s delisting of Wrapped Bitcoin, aka WBTC, one of the world’s most popular tokens.  Both parties agreed Friday to dismiss BiT Global’s suit with prejudice, meaning the matter cannot be litigated in the future. Each party will cover their own legal fees, according to the filing. BiT Global sued Coinbase in December for delisting WBTC, or Wrapped Bitcoin—a popular digital asset t...

    Circle IPO Outperforms Public Debuts From Meta, Robinhood and Airbnb

    Circle’s dynamite IPO this week wasn’t just impressive by crypto standards—it outperformed expectations to a degree unrivaled even by America’s most prominent tech companies. The evening before its Thursday trading debut on the New York Stock Exchange, Circle priced its stock, CRCL, at $31 a share. That represented a mark-up from the lower share prices the firm floated earlier in the week: $26, and then $28. Such last-minute moves are generally indicative of increased investor interest in a comp...

Whereas most hearings about the bill have thus far been convened by the committee’s Republican majority, which introduced it, today’s “minority day” convening offered Democrats the rare opportunity to focus attention on perceived...

    ‘They Make No Money’: Here’s What Tether’s CEO Had to Say About Circle Before Its Massive IPO

    It was early April, during the middle of a conversation with Decrypt at Cantor Fitzgerald’s swanky midtown Manhattan headquarters, that Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino abruptly asked to pause the interview. The reason? He’d noticed a “weird message” on the laptop open in front of him.  After twenty seconds of silence in the conference room, Ardoino’s face flashed a big grin. Reports were circulating that Circle, one of Tether’s chief competitors, might tap the brakes on its long-planned IPO.  ”People w...
