I walked into COMPUTEX season this year expecting to be bored. Another spin around the AI carousel, another wall of slides with the word agentic on them, another keynote where someone holds up a chip and tells me it’s the most important thing to happen since fire. And sure, some of that is coming. But the more I dig into what’s lined up for Taipei from June 2nd to 5th, the more I think this might be the most consequential Computex in years—and not for the reasons the datacenter crowd wants me to care about. Let me walk you through…

The US Treasury market is the foundation of the global financial system. It determines mortgage rates, government borrowing costs, corporate lending, and the price of money across the world. For decades, investors treated it as the safest and most stable market on Earth.But after years of exploding government debt, repeated liquidity scares, and increasingly aggressive Federal Reserve interventions, Wall Street is starting to confront an uncomfortable possibility: the Treasury market may have become too large, too leveraged, and too systemically important to function without constant support.Now, with debt issuance accelerating and bond yields elevated, a different fear has taken hold…

We’re excited to announce plans to launch the first CFTC-regulated perpetual futures in the US in the next 30 days. Eligible US clients will be able to trade perpetual futures on Kraken Pro, giving them domestic access to the contract that drives most global crypto derivatives volume, integrated alongside spot, margin and CME-listed futures on a single interface.  Perpetual contracts are derivatives that provide continuous exposure to an underlying asset without an expiration date, eliminating the need to roll positions. This enables clients to maintain uninterrupted market exposure with greater flexibility and operational efficiency than traditional futures contracts. Perpetuals are…

Privacy is the freedom to choose what you share, when you share it, and who you share it with. We all take this for granted in daily life: closing the door to a room, casting a secret ballot, or speaking privately with a friend. But online and onchain, these protections are often missing. Ethereum was created to be the foundation of digital trust, one that is worthy of civilizational scale. For that trust to remain credible, privacy must be part of its core, the EF, along with dozens of Ethereum teams focused on privacy, are proud to support this cause..…

Crypto regulation is moving from enforcement theatre to infrastructure design — but the legal foundation is still unfinished. As the Clarity Act window narrows before U.S. midterms, builders face a practical choice: wait for Washington, or architect systems that can survive shifting rules, local compliance demands, and future political reversals.For the past year, regulators and policymakers have been actively building frameworks and guidance for digital assets under a new federal administration that is decidedly supporting the industry. The GENIUS Act, signed into law in July 2025, established a federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, with full implementation coming in January…

Stop loss placement is perhaps the most overlooked and misunderstood piece of the trading ‘puzzle’… Aside from the particular trading strategy you use to navigate and trade the markets, ‘where you place your stop loss’ is arguably the most important aspect of every trade you take. One of the core tenets of my trading approach that I hammer-home to my members is the importance of using wide stop losses. Many traders are naturally drawn to and tempted to place as tight (small) of a stop loss on their trades as possible. There are multiple reasons why traders do this, but…

There’s a strange moment that happens when a startup begins growing. At first, everybody’s working from home, coffee shops, shared workspaces, maybe someone’s tiny apartment with terrible Wi-Fi and one chair that squeaks every five seconds. It feels scrappy and exciting. Then suddenly the team grows. Calls overlap.People need meeting rooms.Someone keeps forgetting to mute themselves.And your “remote-first workflow” quietly becomes chaos. That’s usually when founders start thinking about office space seriously. And honestly, finding the right office for a startup is harder than it looks. Because you’re not just choosing a building. You’re choosing how your team works, grows,…

We are releasing Zebra 4.5.0 today. This release contains fixes for multiple security vulnerabilities, including one consensus-critical issue, and we strongly encourage all node operators to upgrade immediately.  The release also adds support for mining to a shielded address. Security Advisories GHSA-gf9r-m956-97qx: P2SH Sigop Undercount in Pure-Rust Script Parser (Critical) Zebra’s pure-Rust transparent script parser incorrectly short-circuited sigop counting when it encountered a disabled opcode inside a P2SH redeem script. The parser treated disabled opcodes as an early termination signal rather than continuing to count subsequent signature operations. This caused Zebra to undercount P2SH sigops against the 20,000-sigop block limit,…
