Pension funds, the most cautious of institutional investors, are now giving the booming crypto and blockchain sector a closer look.

Before, it was all about crypto prices. But now, the media is “starting to explore the benefits of public blockchains and decentralization.”

A blockchain network can excel at security or speed — but not both — Solana’s Yakovenko tells Cointelegraph, as the network is betting on speed.

Did a visit from the SEC’s Gensler with EU legislators signal a policy shift? Is U.S.–European collaboration on crypto regulation coming soon?

Is a futures-based crypto exchange-traded fund really imminent, and if so why that, and not an ETF that takes direct ownership in Bitcoin?

Is BTC, crypto’s flagship, prepared to fend off Ethereum with its “incredible network value, rich community and pace of innovation?”

Some saw beneficial effects from the week’s legislative face-off. Still, “crypto and blockchain technology is at a significant moment.”

Amazon denied reports it will accept BTC payments soon, but seemingly, it’s only a matter of time before the tech giants embrace the token economy.

Why is China forsaking cryptocurrencies at the same time that legacy U.S. banks, long wary of crypto, appear to be discovering its virtues?

Recent developments such as China banning BTC mining may be “long-term positives for the market even if they introduce short-term volatility.”

Circle’s share of the stablecoin market has grown to 23.5% in 2021, trailing only Tether. By going public, its “share will increase further?”

Binance has become a target for regulatory action across the globe, but is it the exchange being targeted or the crypto ecosystem in general?

Are stablecoins actually stable? Tether’s basket of reserve assets raises eyebrows as a new round of debate regarding backing begins.

An assertion of property rights on the part of a DAO could be healthy for decentralized finance — another sign that DeFi is maturing.

New tech that reduces costs of international payments would “be a boon for poor countries that rely on remittances” — but will BTC as legal tender fix that?

Miami has a dynamic mayor, lots of VC money and is coming off the largest ever crypto extravaganza, but is that enough without legal clarity?

The latest events in China have pushed crypto miners to reevaluate domestic risk as they may now look toward international expansion.

Institutional investors know crypto assets are volatile: “They’re making a generational bet and are not deterred by a few weeks of volatility.”

The crypto custody business blossomed in 2019, spearheaded by fintech firms, but now its center of gravity might be shifting.

Firms with iconoclastic leaders, like Musk and Dorsey, “would be the most likely to take the plunge” and commit sizable cash balances to crypto.

Declaring BTC a store of value — e.g., gold 2.0 — but not a medium of exchange, defies logic. It must first have a use case.

More taxes may cause short-term volatility, “but long term, you may see more demand for DeFi applications and other collateralized use cases.”

While Bitcoin may evolve to become gold 2.0, Ether-based funds could offer investors exposure to a new utility technology.

While the defendants may have gained an edge in pre-trial rulings in SEC v. Ripple Labs, are Ripple’s legal troubles now over?

Evidence suggests crypto’s role in terrorism remains relatively minor: “It has not yet become a primary means of terror financing.”

The SEC is pitching a shutout against Bitcoin-based ETFs, and not even Fidelity’s storied name may be enough to overcome the obstacles.

Is a $100-billion valuation justified? Profit margins could tighten with increased competition.

An important new role for the world’s first cryptocurrency as an inflation gauge — or just another fantasy of Bitcoin maximalists?

A pyramid scheme where “somebody will be burnt” or an “exciting innovation?” Is this the year of the nonfungible token?

As Bitcoin ETFs launch in Canada, an approval from U.S. authorities appears to be closer than ever before as naysayers start to run out of reasons to deny it.
