The Ethereum blockchain needs to better explain its features to users in order to achieve true trustlessness, a challenge common across blockchain protocols, says its co-founder Vitalik Buterin.Trustlessness would see a protocol work without the oversight of developers, as it enforces rules automatically with code. However, if a protocol is so complex that only a small group can work on it, then in practice, others still have to trust that group. Ethereum is already trustless as transactions and smart contracts are enforced by open-source code and a decentralized network of validators, but Buterin said in a X post on Wednesday that…

The US Federal Reserve has withdrawn a 2023 guidance that limited how Fed-supervised banks, including uninsured ones, engaged with crypto, as US regulators continue to pivot positively toward digital assets. The 2023 guidance required uninsured banks to follow the same rules as federally insured institutions, based on the principle that similar activities pose similar risks and should be subject to identical regulation.This prevented uninsured banks from engaging in activities that weren’t permitted for national banks, like crypto services, which automatically disqualified Fed membership because the institution’s primary activities weren’t allowed. Fed says financial system has evolved since 2023The Fed said a…

Trump family-backed World Liberty Financial has proposed using 5% of the project’s WLFI token treasury to grow the supply of its stablecoin USD1. The proposal was posted to the World Liberty Financial governance forum on Wednesday, with the team highlighting the importance of increasing USD1 supply to keep up with “an increasingly competitive stablecoin landscape.” The proposal outlines that the additional supply would help spread “USD1 use cases across select high-profile CeFi & DeFi partnerships,” with increased adoption helping to create more “value capture” opportunities in the WLFI ecosystem.  “As USD1 grows, more users, platforms, institutions, and chains integrate with World Liberty Financial…

The key constraint on real-world assets (RWAs) has been regulatory engagement rather than technology, and that dynamic has been shifting in the US, said Ashley Ebersole, chief legal officer of Sologenic.Ebersole joined the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in early 2015, where he served in the agency’s early internal working groups on crypto and the application of securities law to blockchain-based assets.The securities regulator published the DAO Report in 2017, asserting its jurisdiction over tokens that met the definition of securities. What followed was an enforcement-led approach that left little room for sustained dialogue with the industry.“After the DAO Report,…

MEV refers to the profit that traders or validators can make by controlling the order, inclusion or exclusion of transactions in a blockchain block.
