    The SEC Chair Who Sued Ripple Is Now Prosecuting Roman Storm

    Since President Donald Trump’s crypto-fueled return to office, the American digital assets industry has lost most of its favorite villains, and many of its most revered martyrs.  But in the United States, at least one victim of the federal government’s so-called “war on crypto” remains: Roman Storm, co-founder of the popular coin mixing service Tornado Cash, who is set to go on trial Monday in New York for criminal conspiracy to commit money laundering and evading U.S. sanctions.  And the man no...

    House Democrats Struggle to Approach 'Crypto Week' With Unified Front

    House Republicans, supported by the White House, are barrelling forward with a slew of crucial votes on digital assets legislation set for next week—and Democrats appear unsure of how to approach “Crypto Week” with a unified front.  Next week, among other crypto-related measures, the House will vote on the stablecoin-focused GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act, which would create a crypto market structure framework. Some senior House Democrats have urged party leadership to officially come out agains...

    IRS Formally Removes Anti-DeFi Broker Rule From Tax Code

    The IRS announced Thursday it formally removed a controversial rule from the federal tax code that would have obligated decentralized finance platforms to collect and report the same financial information as traditional brokers.  The so-called DeFi broker rule was adopted in the last weeks of former President Joe Biden’s administration, though it never went into effect. It was shortly thereafter repealed via a resolution supported by bipartisan majorities in both chambers of Congress.  In April,...

    Trump Ally Compares Crypto Industry Writing Its Own Rules to Spilled 'Urine Sample'

    Senators from both parties raised concerns about a crypto market structure bill during a hearing of the Senate Banking Committee Wednesday—with even a staunch Trump ally expressing worry about allowing the crypto industry to write its own rules. “To what extent should we allow you to draft [these rules]?” Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) asked a panel of crypto leaders including Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. “I've… heard some of you say that digital assets represent the next generation of the internet,”...

    Trump Is Making Bank on Crypto: Do Voters Care?

    As digital asset legislation races through Congress and towards President Donald Trump’s desk for signature, the president’s personal, lucrative crypto dealings have come increasingly under fire.  Democrats have launched protests against “Trump’s crypto corruption” in both the House and Senate, putting up enough of a stink to lead industry policy leaders to conclude that their coveted market crypto structure bill is now doomed. But a new poll out Monday from a pro-crypto nonprofit is attempting...

    Bitcoin Tax Exemptions May Be Coming After All—In New Senate Bill

    Crypto tax exemptions failed to make it into President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” earlier this week—but the perks may soon be headed back to the Senate floor, in the form of standalone legislation. On Thursday, Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), who had pushed unsuccessfully to include crypto tax perks in Congress’ sweeping reconciliation bill, introduced comprehensive digital asset tax legislation that the senator promised would secure “key victories for the digital asset industry and create...

    Put away those champagne bottles—the SEC hasn’t greenlit trading for a Grayscale ETF focused not just on Bitcoin and Ethereum, but also altcoins including XRP, Solana, and Cardano… at least, not quite yet.  On Tuesday, the Wall Street regulator issued an order finding that it had good cause to approve ETF conversion for the Grayscale product, dubbed the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC), on an accelerated basis.  Quietly attached to the order, however, was a letter from SEC leadership stay...

    Fed Chair Powell Says Trump Policies to Blame for Lack of Rate Cuts

    Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell clapped back at President Donald Trump Tuesday, maintaining he would have lowered interest rates by now—if not for the president’s tariff agenda. “I do think that’s right,” Powell said Tuesday at a European Central Bank forum in Portugal, when asked whether he would have raised interest rates in 2025 absent the president’s tumultuous policy changes.  For months, Trump has assailed Powell to no avail, demanding the central banker slash interest rates in the Uni...

    Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Passes Senate—Without Bitcoin Tax Exemptions

    The U.S. Senate narrowly passed President Donald Trump’s massive reconciliation bill on Tuesday—but failed to include key tax amendments in the legislation that would have benefited crypto users. In the hectic final hours of heated negotiations over the president’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” pro-crypto senators and industry policy leaders raced to tack an amendment onto the bill containing numerous long-sought tax benefits for crypto stakers and miners, businesses that hold crypto stockpiles, an...

    Trump Admin Beats Coinbase, Privacy Advocates in Supreme Court IRS Showdown

    The U.S. Supreme Court declined Monday to take up a case that would have re-examined how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital financial data, in a blow to crypto heavyweights like Coinbase who had thrown their weight behind the case. The case, Harper v. Faulkender, petitioned the court to re-examine a decades-old ruling which held that bank customers don’t have privacy rights to records held by their financial institutions. This “third-party doctrine” has long been critiqued by conservative s...

    Trump’s 'Big Beautiful Bill' May Get a 'Hail Mary' Bitcoin Tax Exemption

    As Senate Republicans race to pass President Donald Trump’s sweeping budget reconciliation bill, dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” a last ditch initiative is underway in the halls of Congress to tack on an amendment to the legislation that would benefit crypto investors in potentially numerous ways. The buzziest of the bunch appears to be a provision that would, at last, apply a so-called de minimis exemption to capital gains taxes on small amounts of crypto, which could provide a pathway for...

    President Donald Trump said Friday that debanking of crypto companies is a “very bad and very dangerous” practice that was likely instigated by the Biden administration, but still remains a problem in the United States. “There is a lot of debanking,” Trump said in the Oval Office this evening, in response to a question from Decrypt. “Those people are very bad and very dangerous, and they shouldn't be doing it.” Debanking refers to the alleged practice of banks denying customers services based on...

It’s a development that signifies a major coup for U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins, according to one of the world’s top credit rating agencies.

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.
