Bitcoin Is Flying High—These Countries Are Considering a National Reserve

Some countries are mulling a national Bitcoin reserve amid a historic market run-up that has pushed the world’s largest cryptocurrency to new heights in recent weeks, with BTC topping $100,000 for the first time earlier this month. United States President-elect Donald Trump and his allies have repeatedly thrown their support behind a bill to stock the Federal Reserve with the asset, and will soon be in position to potentially make that a reality. Government officials in Brazil have also put fo...

Prediction Markets Invite Insider Trading—And That’s a Good Thing, Experts Say

Think of the term “insider trading,” and what comes to mind? Maybe someone in a suit, whispering about a secret new product or a quarterly earnings report that’s yet to drop. Perhaps there’s a park bench involved, or an envelope, or a lot of whiskey.  That image is now outdated. The explosion in popularity of prediction betting markets like Polymarket this year has not just changed how people make money online—it’s also revolutionized the pool of who, exactly, has access to information with pote...

Biggest Changes Coming in Ethereum’s Super-Sized Pectra Upgrade

This week, Ethereum’s core developers decided that they will split the network’s next major upgrade, Pectra, into at least two parts, with the first update set to ship in or around February 2025.   The last several Ethereum upgrades—including Dencun, which dropped in March, and Shapella, which went live in 2023—have ushered in meaningful changes both for blockchain developers and everyday Ethereum users. So what will Pectra bring, and how might those changes affect you? Pectra: Part one During a...

Is Crypto to Blame for Telegram CEO Pavel Durov’s Arrest?

In the wake of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov’s bombshell arrest in France last weekend and subsequent criminal indictment, much is still uncertain—particularly, how the high-stakes drama will impact Telegram’s massive crypto ambitions.  This year, Telegram became perhaps the most prominent company to ever jump with both feet into the cryptosphere. The dominant messaging service encouraged the proliferation of an ecosystem of on-chain, in-app games and services powered by Telegram’s blockchain of choi...

RFK Jr. Threatened to Steal the Bitcoin Vote From Trump—Now They're United

When Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—the scion of America’s most prominent political dynasty—exalted the virtues of the leading cryptocurrency during a speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in July, attendees cheered.  Members of the campaign for Donald J. Trump, who was also speaking at the conference later that week, likely sweated, however. Kennedy, to some observers, appeared deeply immersed in the space, while Trump’s proclamations were more surface-level—plus the former president had previously crit...

How Celebrities Are Building ‘Unstoppable Communities’ With NFTs

Celebrities may seem like they have the world at their feet—but like the rest of us, they’re at the mercy of centralized gatekeepers, in their case the social media platforms that connect them with their fans. Those platforms can cut creators off from their audiences at a stroke, explained Andras Kristof, CEO of “unstoppable communities” platform Galaxis. “If YouTube gives you three strikes because their AI mistakes something, or for any reason, the owner of a platform decides that he doesn't li...
