ASIC is set to establish a clearer regulatory perimeter this year in an effort to minimise risks around unlicensed crypto advice and misleading conduct. ASIC will be somewhat dependent on the passage of the Australian Government’s proposed digital assets framework, which would see digital asset firms become subject to regulation similar to that governing TradFi. Experts suggest legal and regulatory clarity is essential for the continued growth of the Australian digital assets industry. Rapid digital asset innovation that Australia is currently seeing “by or for people unfamiliar with financial services,” is creating a raft of risks, including unlicensed advice and…
Gold’s rapid rise is being linked to declining trust in fiat money and institutions, driven by debt, money printing, and geopolitical risk. Governments are increasingly seeking assets resistant to seizure or interference, reinforcing gold’s appeal. In that environment, crypto’s decentralised features are becoming more relevant, even as US regulatory uncertainty persists. Gold’s surge above US$5,000 (AU$7,250) per troy ounce is being interpreted as a warning sign about confidence in fiat currencies and institutional safeguards, according to Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan. After rising 65% during 2025 and a further 16% in 2026, gold has added roughly half of its…
Stablecoins could drain $500 billion from bank deposits by 2028, according to Standard Chartered, threatening a primary source of cheap funding for traditional lenders. Regional banks are most at risk of shrinking profit margins as customers move funds to tokenised dollars for faster payments and higher yields, like Coinbase’s 3.5% on USDC. New regulation is expected to accelerate this shift, with the bank predicting a US digital-asset bill will pass by late Q1 2026 and further legitimise the sector. Standard Chartered says the rise of stablecoins could pull as much as US$500 billion (AU$765 billion) in deposits out of US…
2026 is emerging as a defining milestone for global finance. President Trump already signed the Genius Act on July 18, 2025, establishing consumer protection, monthly transparency, compliance, redemption rights, and full reserve backing for tokenised dollars – stablecoins. Although temporarily postponed, the CLARITY Act is to further modernize finance by allowing stable yield programs, now contested by banks for purportedly giving crypto exchanges unfair advantage. Facing staunch opposition from TradFi, the upcoming draft lacks ‘clarity’ in many areas, as noted by Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase. Nonetheless, both acts, in some form or another, signal an unmistakable shift in regulatory…
Crypto whales are reaching for gold as Bitcoin stalls, but the trade may be less of a verdict on crypto than a hedge for a specific macro window.On Jan. 27, blockchain sleuth Lookonchain flagged three addresses that collectively withdrew about $14.33 million in tokenized gold from centralized exchanges, including Bybit, Gate, and MEXC.The firm reported that one wallet pulled 1,959 XAUT, valued at $9.97 million, and another withdrew 559 XAUT, worth around $2.83 million. The last wallet removed 194.4 XAUT, worth $0.993 million, and 106.2 PAXG, worth about $0.538 million.While these assets are tokenized claims that track the gold price…
Bitcoin’s 2026 problem is the weekendI keep coming back to this line because it feels brutally true in the way only markets can be true.The only thing worse than buying Bitcoin this year was not buying Bitcoin. If you held dollars, you got quietly taxed.The dollar has been sliding, and the mood around “anti-dollar” assets has been getting louder by the day.If you held hard assets, you got rewarded loudly and publicly, with the kind of chart that makes people text you screenshots at 2 a.m.Gold has traded above $5,000 an ounce, silver has pushed into triple digits, and even…
PUMP surged 25% in 24 hours, outperforming top altcoins despite legal pressure on Pump.fun and Solana Foundation.

For the average user, DEX security isn’t just an audit or a badge on the website. Even if a DEX offers excellent liquidity and security, users won’t stick around if every trade feels like a lottery. A DEX is more than just code; it’s an entire trading system. And the most important thing is how well this system works. As decentralized exchanges (DEXs) continue to capture market share from centralized giants, the conversation is shifting from basic smart contract functionality to complex data orchestration. Most platforms fail not because of flawed code, but because they cannot solve the ‘trilemma’…
Vitalik Buterin said he no longer agrees with his 2017 tweet that downplayed the need for users to personally verify Ethereum end-to-end.This week, he argued the network should treat self-hosted verification as a non-negotiable escape hatch as its architecture gets lighter and more modular.Buterin’s original position grew out of a design debate over whether a blockchain should commit to state on chain or treat state as “implied,” reconstructable only by replaying ordered transactions.Ethereum’s approach, putting a state root in each block header and supporting Merkle-style proofs, lets a user prove a specific balance, contract code, or storage value without re-executing…
