Today’s roundtable is titled “DeFi and the American Spirit.” This is an apt title because the American values of economic liberty, private property rights, and innovation are in the DNA of the DeFi, or Decentralized Finance, movement.
Blockchains, of course, are a very creative and potentially revolutionary innovation that have us rethinking evidence of ownership and transfer of intellectual and economic property rights.
They are shared databases that enable ownership of a type of digital property called crypto assets without reliance on an intermediary or central party. Instead, these peer-to-peer networks incorporate an economic mechanism to encourage participants to validate and maintain the database in accordance with the network’s rules.
These are free market systems where users pay demand-based fees to network participants to have their transactions included within a so-called “block” of data with finite storage capacity.
In the context of cryptocurrency, "crypto security" refers to the measures and technologies used to protect digital assets from unauthorized access, theft, or fraudulent activities. This includes securing transactions, wallets, and the underlying blockchain technology. It's essentially about ensuring the integrity and safety of cryptocurrency systems.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Secure Transactions:
Blockchain Technology:
Cryptocurrencies rely on blockchain, a distributed and immutable ledger, to record transactions. The blockchain's cryptographic hashing and consensus mechanisms make it difficult to tamper with recorded transactions.
Cryptography:
Cryptographic algorithms (like asymmetric encryption) are used to secure transactions, ensuring that only authorized parties can access and use the information.
2. Secure Wallets:
Wallet Types:
Cryptocurrency wallets (online or offline software) are used to store private keys, which are crucial for accessing and spending cryptocurrency.
In business, economics or investment, market liquidity is a market's feature whereby an individual or firm can quickly purchase or sell an asset without causing a drastic change in the asset's price.

Bitcoin's surge coincided with the biggest rally since 2008 for the broad-market S&P 500 index, after Trump said in a Truth Social post that he has "authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately." He also said he is raising the tariff on China higher again to 125%.
"Trump's 90-day tariff pause is a strategic breather — he's easing short term market pressure without giving up leverage, sending a clear signal that his approach to trade is transactional, not ideological," said Ben Kurland, CEO at crypto research platform DYOR. "This move calms investor nerves and gives businesses a momentary sense of stability, but it's not long enough to prompt real supply chain shifts or investment decisions."
