Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson believes the crypto market structure legislation known as the CLARITY Act is unlikely to pass into law in Q1 of 2026. Hoskinson also said if the bill fails to pass in Q1, the Trump administration’s ’crypto czar’ David Sacks should resign from his position.

Founder of the Cardano network Charles Hoskinson believes the US Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) is unlikely to pass into…
Standard Chartered expects Ether to outperform Bitcoin over time, with the ETH–BTC ratio recovering toward 2021 highs despite near-term market weakness. The bank cut its medium-term Ether forecasts but raised its long-term outlook, projecting ETH could reach US$40,000 (AU$60,400) by 2030.

The bank said softer Bitcoin price action has weighed on the broader cryptocurrency market, but Ether’s…

Meld Gold launched gold and silver tokens on the XRP Ledger, each backed by one gram of physical metal held by third-party providers. Proponents claim the XRPL’s 24/7 settlement and built-in AMM tools make it a superior technical fit for trading tokenised metals.

Meld partnered with Ripple in…

An Ethereum price collapse could break the blockchain’s ability to settle transactions and freeze over $800 billion in assets, a Bank of Italy research paper warns.The paper, authored by Claudia Biancotti of the central bank’s Directorate General for Information Technology, outlined a contagion scenario where ETH’s price collapse degrades the blockchain’s security infrastructure to the point of failure.Such a breakdown, the report argues, would trap and compromise tokenized stocks, bonds, and stablecoins that major financial institutions are increasingly placing on public ledgers.Essentially, the paper challenges the assumption that regulated assets issued on public blockchains are insulated from the volatility of…
