  • ROLLUP: $100k BTC? | Gensler Resignation | Trump’s ‘Crypto Czar’ | Memecoin Rugs

    ROLLUP: $100k BTC? | Gensler Resignation | Trump’s ‘Crypto Czar’ | Memecoin Rugs
    Nov 22 2024
    Bitcoin soared to new all-time highs as MicroStrategy led massive BTC buys, and BlackRock's ETF options hit $1.9B volume. Meanwhile, a 13-year-old executed a rug pull, sparking chaos and meme token wars. On the regulatory front, SEC Chair Gary Gensler announced his resignation effective January 20, 2025, coinciding with President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. Trump teased a "Crypto Czar," while 18 states sued the SEC. Binance launched BFUSD with 19.55% APY, challenging Coinbase’s USDC yield. Elsewhere, Solana reached new highs, McDonald’s partnered with Doodles, and Tether unveiled a tokenization platform.

  • Roman Storm Speaks - Tornado Cash Developer on What’s at Stake

    Roman Storm Speaks - Tornado Cash Developer on What’s at Stake
    Nov 21 2024

    📣DONATE TO ROMAN’S CASE
    https://juicebox.money/@defend-roman-storm

    Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm faces decades in prison after being arrested last year for creating open-source privacy tools on Ethereum. His case could define whether code is speech, if developers are liable for bad actors, and if Americans have a right to digital privacy.

    With the full force of the U.S. government against him, Roman’s trial this April is a pivotal moment for digital rights. Bankless has contributed $50k to his legal defense—this is about protecting privacy for all of us.

    Roman Storm, alongside his lawyer, joins us to discuss The Tornado Cash case and what’s at stake.

    The Future of Rollups is Based | Mteam
    Nov 20 2024

    Mteam explores why the future of Ethereum Rollups is inevitably based. Many people said this was the most impressive technical talk at the Bankless Summit. I don’t know what you were doing when you were 17 but I was certainly not doing anything like this.
