#Midnight is now live, marking the public arrival of a blockchain designed for real-world financial activity, much of which cannot operate comfortably on fully transparent ledgers. With its genesis block created on March 17, 2026, Midnight is now live as a fourth-generation blockchain built for real-world adoption, combining programmable privacy, a predictable cost model, and tools designed to make advanced cryptography easier to use in real applications. Public blockchains brought openness and programmability to digital assets, but large parts of finance and other regulated sectors like health care still require confidentiality, selective disclosure, and cost visibility before they can function comfortably on-chain. Midnight’s launch is the first live step in showing how that model could work in deployed systems. For now, the network is live, the architecture is visible, and users can start examining how privacy is handled at the protocol level. Why Privacy Sits at the Center of Midnight’s Launch The strongest argument behind Midnight’s launch is that public blockchain design still leaves a large share of real-world economic activity stranded off chain. Many financial and commercial workflows cannot operate comfortably on a ledger where balances, counterparties, transaction flows, and supporting data are exposed by default. At the center of Midnight’s design is the idea that more assets and activity can move on-chain only when privacy is built directly into applications and compliance logic. Its model is built around hybrid ledger architecture, client-side proof generation, shielded and unshielded assets, and selective disclosure. The idea is to let sensitive data stay with the user while the network verifies claims about that data cryptographically. A user or institution could prove identity, eligibility, credit conditions, or compliance status without publishing the underlying records to the chain. Midnight also says visibility can be granted to specific authoris

The American Bankers Association (ABA) fired back at a White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) report, arguing it ignored the real risk stablecoin yield poses to community banks. The CEA paper concluded that prohibiting yield on payment stablecoins would increase total bank lending by just $2.1 billion, or 0.02% of all loans. It estimated consumers would lose roughly $800 million annually in forgone returns. ABA Warns of Deposit Flight as Stablecoins Scale The ABA said the CEA “studied the wrong question.” Rather than modeling the impact of a ban, the ABA argued policymakers should examine what happens when yield-paying stablecoins scale rapidly. The banking group warned that stablecoins backed by Treasuries and offering competitive returns could pull cheap deposits away from community banks. That shift would raise funding costs and reduce local lending to small businesses, farmers, and homebuyers. The Treasury Department previously estimated $6.6 trillion in deposits could be at risk. “By focusing on the effects of a prohibition, the CEA paper risks creating a misleading sense of safety by avoiding the much more consequential scenario: yield-paying payment stablecoins scaling quickly,” read an excerpt in the ABA Banking Journal. Senate Faces Two-Week Window on Clarity Act The dispute lands as the Senate returns from recess with a narrow window to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has publicly urged passage, while SEC Chair Paul Atkins and CFTC Chair Michael Selig said their agencies are ready to implement the bill immediately. According to Senator Cynthia Lummis, the CLARITY Act risks a four-year delay until after 2030 if it does not pass now. Stablecoin yield remains the single issue blocking the bill. If the Senate Banking Committee does not mark it up by late April, the legislation will likely not ret

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson used one of his most confrontational videos in recent memory to argue that Bitcoin’s long-running resistance to structural change has left it exposed to the quantum computing threat now surfacing in debate around BIP 361. His core claim was blunt: Bitcoin’s governance culture, not just its cryptography, is now the problem.

In the livestream, titled “BIP 361: Welcome to ShitcoinLand, Bitcoin,” Hoskinson framed the proposal as an overdue admission from parts of the Bitcoin world that quantum risk is no longer theoretical. The Cardano founder pointed to language in the proposal stating that, as of March 1, 2026, more than 34% of all Bitcoin had revealed public keys on-chain, leaving those UTXOs vulnerable to theft by an attacker with a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. In his telling, that amounts to roughly 8 million BTC exposed to a future break in Bitcoin’s current signature assumptions.

BIP-361 proposes freezing every bitcoin that doesn’t migrate to a quantum-safe address within five years of activation. If you’re incapacitated, in prison, or simply unaware of the deadline, your coins aren’t stolen. They’re frozen by consensus.

The justification: 34% of all... pic.twitter.com/4ValsZTdQD

Cardano Founder Attacks Bitcoin Developer Community
Hoskinson’s attack centered on two related claims. First, he argued that the response implied by BIP 361 would require a hard fork, even if described otherwise. Second, he said any forced migration to post-quantum addresses would create a deeper problem for coins held in older wallet formats that cannot be recovered through the kind of proof system he says the proposal imagines.

“There is some truth in here,” Hoskinson said. “As of March 1st, 2026, over 34% of all Bitcoin have revealed public key on chain... those UTXOs c

NiSource, a U.S. utility company, has secured a long-term energy supply agreement with an Alphabet subsidiary to power a major data center in northern Indiana. The announcement also included an expanded partnership with Amazon, aimed at accelerating power delivery to its facilities while moving up bill credits for residential customers.The deals reflect a broader trend among Big Tech companies racing to secure reliable, clean energy sources as artificial intelligence continues to drive explosive growth in data center demand. To meet this need, NiSource is leveraging its GenCo model — a dedicated supply structure that serves large commercial customers through owned generation assets and market resources, without passing additional costs to existing utility customers.Under the GenCo framework, approximately 340 megawatts will come from a GenCo-owned generation portfolio, with up to 175 megawatts of seasonal market purchases supplementing supply as needed. NIPSCO, NiSource's Indiana utility, will also provide the necessary transmission infrastructure to support these large-scale operations. Power delivery for Alphabet is expected to begin in summer 2026.One of the most notable aspects of the GenCo model is its consumer benefit structure. Existing ratepayers are projected to see an estimated $1.25 billion in total system-wide savings, translating to roughly $90 to $115 annually per household. NiSource CEO Lloyd Yates noted that the latest Amazon agreement builds on a previously announced $1 billion in customer savings, reinforcing the company's commitment to balancing growth with affordability.The announcements come as energy and policy debates around data centers intensify nationwide. Maine lawmakers recently voted to pause approvals for new large data centers over concerns that surging power demand could strain regional grids and raise household electricity

BNB has been trading below the breakdown level of $220 for the past few days, but the bears have not been able to build upon their advantage. The failure to sink the price below the psychological level of $200 could embolden the bulls who will try to start a recovery. The first hurdle on the upside is at $220 and then at the resistance line. Buyers will have to thrust the price above the resistance line to indicate that the downtrend may be ending. Contrarily, if the price turns down and breaks below $200, it will suggest the start of the next leg of the downtrend. The BNB/USDT pair then risks sliding to the next major support at $183.
