While many in the industry cheered the passing of the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act yesterday, many other raised criticisms and concerns.
We need airdrops and KOL campaigns that, instead of creating empty buzz and boosting vanity metrics, convert real committed users, build brand relationships, and bring large rewards to engaged communities, says Filip Wielanier, co-founder of Cookie3, a Web3 marketing platform.
Unlike web2 applications like Roblox that trap users in, web3 empowers users with digital property rights so they can move freely.
Here are some ways users and developers, the lifeblood of crypto, can help move better legislation through Congress, writes Rebecca Rettig, Chief Legal & Policy Officer at Polygon Labs.
The rise of Farcaster and portable “social graphs” will change the relationship between brand marketers and end-users, says the founder of JUMP, a network for Web3 branding executives.
AI is taking over our lives but exactly what goes on inside AI systems is unclear. Two researchers from EQTY Lab shine a light on how to make these mechanics more visible.
To unlock the full potential of Web3, it’s imperative for marketers to personalize content based on the pseudonymous data in your wallet, says PeteCoin, VP of Growth, Serotonin.
Laszlo Hanyecz is famous for spending 10,000 bitcoin on two pizzas. But his involvement with Bitcoin development goes much deeper than food purchases.
Cookies, pop-ups, and sketchy device fingerprinting are on their way out. Web3 users will control their online identities and be served relevant ads.
This week, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission might approve spot ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the House of Representatives may vote in favor of a crypto market structure bill, the company behind a decentralized exchange is arguing with the SEC, and that's all just in the U.S. All of these topics will come up at Consensus 2024 next week.
The commodities regulator has been clear about the dangers of regulating a burgeoning industry through enforcement actions.
By approving bitcoin as an underlying product within the ETF space, the SEC has reduced risk at the base level of the asset, BitGo's Steve Scott writes. The only question is now will they invest?

The U.S. is holding its presidential election this fall. More than half a dozen other countries and bodies are likewise holding – or have held – elections this year. Some candidates and lawmakers have already addressed crypto, whether appealing to the industry or just commenting on the technology. The extent to which there is such a thing as a "crypto voter" remains unclear, but it is undeniable that there is a wave of attention directed at this industry.
It’d be foolish for people to vote against their own interests.
To properly regulate stablecoins in the U.S., look at e-money abroad, says Marcelo Prates, a speaker at Consensus 2024.
Last month, Ethereum incubator ConsenSys sued the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an injunction asking a federal court to block the regulator from investigating its MetaMask offering or from declaring Ether (ETH) a security. It's the latest company to follow a growing trend of preemptive litigation against the SEC.
You would think the government would be against an online privacy service facilitating money laundering. But it actually created one of the best, says attorney Alexandra Damsker.

His four-month sentence was vindication for the Binance founder’s legal strategy.
An SEC approval for spot ETH ETFs looks unlikely but even if the SEC approves exchange traded funds for Ether, investors should learn about total return ETH investment products.

There was a lot of news last week, but maybe the biggest news came Wednesday when the U.S. Department of Justice arrested two co-founders of Samourai Wallet, a bitcoin wallet that offered mixing services. The arrest ramps up the federal government's efforts to tamp down on what it sees as money laundering enabled by privacy tools, and sets up a continuation of that broader conversation on where the right to transact in privacy fits within national security interests.
