    Quarter Billion in Ethereum Shorts Get Rekt as ETH Nears All-Time High

    Ethereum short traders lost hundreds of millions of dollars Friday as ETH came within inches of breaking past its all-time high price, but ultimately failed to rise to the occasion. In the last 24 hours alone, over $259 million worth of ETH short positions have been liquidated, according to data from CoinGlass. Another $80 million in long positions on the cryptocurrency have expired as well—bringing the total value of ETH liquidations in the last day to over $340 million. That figure makes up ov...

    A top Department of Justice official told an audience of crypto industry leaders Thursday that the U.S. government will no longer charge decentralized software developers with a particular crime—the same crime federal prosecutors successfully convicted Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm of earlier this month.  The charge, U.S. code 1960(b)(1)(C), prohibits operators of unlicensed money transmitting businesses from dealing in funds known to have been derived from a crime, or intended to be used...

    Sen.

    What's Driving Ethereum's Surge—And Can It Last?

    Ethereum has been on an upward tear for weeks now, and looks primed to break its four-year-old record high.  Market experts who spoke with Decrypt agreed that a handful of variables, ranging from regulatory overhauls in the United States to deflationary trends in ETH acquisition, are likely responsible for the cryptocurrency’s recent climb.  But while some are convinced the pivotal factors contributing to Ethereum’s rise are unique to the cryptocurrency, and could lead to a doubling of its price...

    Ethereum Liquidations Top $294 Million As ETH Approaches New All-Time High

    Ethereum doubters continued to get rekt Wednesday, with ETH’s continued, remarkable rally triggering hundreds of millions of dollars in short position liquidations. ETH neared $4,700 early Wednesday for the first time since late 2021, pressing on with a surge that has endured, nearly unabated, since the beginning of August.

The GENIUS Act, which formally legalizes approved stablecoins in the U.S. and was signed into law last month, now prohibits stablecoin issuers from engaging in the increasingly common practice of offering users passive yield—typically, between 3% and 5%—on staked or deposited balances.  Republican c...
