The US Senate Banking Committee has postponed its markup of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act following a withdrawal of support from major industry players and intensifying debates over stablecoin interest. Washington’s efforts to establish a comprehensive crypto regulatory framework have hit a major roadblock as the US Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs postpones its markup of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. The delay follows a high-profile withdrawal of support from industry leaders, including Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, who described the current draft as “materially worse than the status quo”.A primary point of contention is…

And it’s the same exact way in trading.…

Adjusted stablecoin transfers and payments are just $400B when not accounting for routing and double transactions. The estimate is much lower compared to the reports of $10T to $30T.  Real estimates of stablecoin transfers and payments are at around $400M per year, shows the latest data by Artemis. Previous reports of $10T to $30T, rivaling credit card payments, may not be accurate and do not reflect the movement of funds between counterparties.  Adjusted stablecoin data show that a transaction may produce additional on-chain activity, which does not reflect the original payment intention.

The idea is great, but the execution is questionable. Then the inevitable challenges of owning a business inevitably rear their ugly head. Your web hosting provider experienced an outage. Your night shift manager…

In my previous article, I explained the theory behind XAU Sentinel: a trend-following EA designed to filter out the noise using a “Market Regime Engine” (MRE). Theory is good, but Live Results are better. We just concluded the first week of live testing on XAUUSD (M5 timeframe), and the results perfectly illustrate why static strategies fail and why adaptive strategies survive. Here is the breakdown of how the algorithm handled this week’s Gold rally, generating a 100% Win Rate on this sequence. The Evidence: Adaptive Logic in Action Looking at the chart above, you see a nice equity curve. But…

Titled “Prioritizing Corporate Gains Over User Safeguards: Catalis’ Push to Broaden Problematic Registries,” the document argues that such requirements could compromise personal data security while offering negligible benefits for users. The report highlights the numerous flaws in current registry frameworks, originally built in select states to monitor high-interest short-term loans. These inherent weaknesses,…
