$BTC United States President Donald Trump recently announced the U.S. would establish a strategic cryptocurrency reserve of Bitcoin, Ether, Ripple, Solana and Cardano. This move, he said, would make the U.S. “the crypto capital of the world.”
Once a vocal crypto-skeptic, Trump now frames his support as an embrace of technologies that champion freedom and innovation.
However, the problem with Trump’s view is that it assumes crypto will lead to the elimination of financial intermediaries. By replacing trust with transparency, cryptocurrency promises to put individuals in charge of their monetary transactions.
Our research demonstrates that this is only a partial view. In reality, crypto is dependent on social practices behind the technolo
$BTC Last year, Trump spoke at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville. Since returning to the office, Trump has taken bold steps in the bitcoin space, including launching a Bitcoin strategic reserve and adopting new digital asset policies.
Vice President Vance was a U.S. Senator from Ohio before becoming Trump’s running mate. He’s been a consistent Bitcoin supporter. He previously disclosed holding between $250,000 and $500,000 in bitcoin and has been vocal about regulatory overreach.
During his time in the Senate, Vance criticized the SEC for what he called a heavy-handed approach to bitcoin regulation. He also pointed to the 2022 Canadian bank account freezes as evidence of the risks of centralized financial cont
#CryptoRoundTableRemarks Vance hasn’t been as active in bitcoin-related policy as Trump, but his appearance at Bitcoin 2025 is a big deal. This goes beyond giving a speech — it’s a statement of recognition and gives the Bitcoin industry more cred in the eyes of mainstream finance and the general public.
His keynote will likely cover innovation, financial sovereignty and national resilience — themes that resonate with Bitcoiners and many political conservatives.
The presence of big names like Senator Cynthia Lummis, AI & Crypto Czar David Sacks, and several tech leaders at Bitcoin 2025 shows that Washington is taking Bitcoin more seriously than ever.
His appearance could be a turning point in U.S. Bitcoin policy or at least signal that this administration sees Bitcoin as more than just a fringe technology

$BTC Bitcoin has soared to an all-time price high, but will it continue? Advocates of the world’s largest cryptocurrency hope its value will continue to soar when Donald Trump returns to the White House.
After the price of bitcoin surged from approximately US$69,000 (£54,000) the day before the election on November 5 to nearly US$100,000 now. Bitcoiners are keeping their eyes focused on what happens next in US politics.
Small wonder. As a candidate, Trump pledged to make the US the “crypto capital of the planet” and said he would back a bitcoin strategic reserve, which would order the US to purchase and hold bitcoin for an indefinite amount of time.
Trump even suggested that the US might one day pay off its national debt in cryptocurrency. Many of Trump’s future cabinet members and inner circle are reportedly pro-crypto, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has said he holds “most” of his net worth in bitco

#ETHCrossed2500 Ethereum’s latest network upgrade, Pectra, introduced powerful new features aimed at improving scalability and smart account functionality — but it also opened a dangerous new attack vector that could allow hackers to drain funds from user wallets using only an offchain signature.
Under the Pectra upgrade, which went live on May 7 at epoch 364032, attackers can exploit a new transaction type to take control of externally owned accounts (EOAs) without requiring the user to sign an onchain transaction.
Arda Usman, a Solidity smart contract auditor, confirmed to Cointelegraph that “it becomes possible for an attacker to drain an EOA’s funds using only an offchain signed message (no direct onchain transaction signed by the user).”
At the center of the risk is EIP-7702, a core component of the Pectra upgrade. The Ethereum Improvement Proposal introduces the SetCode transaction (type 0x04), which enables users to delegate control of their wallet to another contract simply by signing a

$BTC When the first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was proposed in 2008, the goal was simple: to create a digital currency free from banks and governments. Over time, that idea evolved into something much bigger: “decentralized finance,” or “DeFi.”
With decentralized finance, people trade, borrow and earn interest on crypto assets without relying on traditional intermediaries. DeFi services run on blockchains, which are essentially digital ledgers, and use “smart contracts” − self-executing code that automates financial transactions. Tens of billions of dollars have poured into the DeFi market.
But with innovation comes risks. The lack of centralized oversight has made crypto, including decentralized finance, a prime target for hackers and scammers. In 2024 alone, people lost nearly US$1.5 billion due to security exploits and fraud. And unlike traditional finance, there’s usually no way to recover stolen cry

#BTCBackto100K Institutional investors have come to adopt crypto, signalling their acceptance by launching ETFs securitizing spot Bitcoin and Ether. But that’s not growing crypto’s wallet share – it’s cannibalizing it instead. Rather than going on DeFi apps to buy and sell digital currencies, everyday retail investors conduct transactions from their more familiar legacy brokerage accounts.
And that should be a wakeup call for the crypto space. At a time when the entire industry should be doing all it can to garner the trust of the average retail investor, many on the inside may be ignoring layers of baked-in complexity that make people yearn for the relative comfort of their stockbrokers’ apps. After all, familiarity fosters trust, while complexity often breeds doubt and skepticism
