Бывший чиновник раскритиковал американские власти за подход к криптовалютам

Выступая перед подкомитетом по финансовым услугам Палаты представителей Конгресса США, Дэн Галлахер рассказал, что компания Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) провела более 12 встреч с комиссарами SEC, пытаясь зарегистрироваться как работающий с цифровыми активами брокер-дилер. По словам Галлахера, Robinhood приложила все усилия и ресурсы, чтобы соблюсти требования SEC. Однако ведомство не оценило усилия — вместо этого регулятор направил компании уведомление о готовности начать судебное разбирательство за несоблюдение правил.

Галлахер заверил, что Robinhood была готова пересмотреть список доступных активов, торгуемых на платформе. Речь о криптоактивах, которые SEC в своих исках назвала незарегистрированными ценными бумагами: Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), Polygon (MATIC), Coti (COTI), Algorand (ALGO), Filecoin (FIL), Cosmos (ATOM), Sandbox (SAND), Axie infinity (AXS) и Decentraland (MANA). регулирующее ведомство не предоставило компании обратную связь и не внесло ясность в регулирование, возмущен юрист.

Галлахер обвинил SEC в том, что Комиссия предпочитает принуждать компании к исполнению требований в судебном порядке вместо разработки свода правил для работы с цифровыми активами. По мнению Галлахера, регулятор вредит американцам, подавляя развитие инноваций. Он привел в пример Европейский союз, предоставивший закон о регулировании криптовалют (MiCA).

Главный юрисконсульт Robinhood отметил, что с 1996 года у SEC появились законные полномочия устанавливать временный набор правил, однако регулятор этого не делает. Поэтому Галлахер призвал SEC как можно скорее продумать руководящие принципы для платформ, заинтересованных в торговле цифровыми активами. Это поможет крипторынку развиваться, уверен юрист.

Ранее Галлахер выступил против предложения американской криптобиржи Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) создать отдельное ведомство, которое бы контролировало криптоиндустрию. Если появится третий регулятор, помимо SEC и Комиссии по торговле товарными фьючерсами США (CFTC), это приведет к еще большей путанице, запротестовал бывший комиссар SEC.

Ethereum uses less power than British Museum – Here’s what changed

Ethereum's transition from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) in "The Merge" has drastically reduced its energy consumption. The network now uses approximately 7.87 GWh of electricity annually, less than half the British Museum's usage, marking a reduction of over 99.9% from pre-Merge levels. This has also cut its carbon footprint by 99.98% to an estimated 2.37 kilotonnes of CO2 equivalent per year, comparable to the emissions of about 900 UK households. The Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) reports that Ethereum's infrastructure remains decentralized, though geographically concentrated, with 62% of nodes hosted in the US, Germany, Finland, and France. About 56.4% of its electricity comes from sustainable sources, primarily nuclear and renewables, exceeding the global average. Future developments like stateless verification may further reduce energy needs. Meanwhile, Ethereum's development enters a new phase with "Lean Ethereum," a multi-year overhaul plan for the network's evolution. At the time of reporting, ETH's price saw a slight increase, trading near $1,800.

Robinhood enters AI crypto trading: ‘World is flat’ presentation reveals US expansion

Robinhood is expanding its crypto offerings by introducing AI-powered trading agents for eligible U.S. customers, as revealed in its 'World is flat' presentation. These agents will execute crypto trades on a user's behalf, provide real-time profit and loss tracking, and send push notifications, allowing users to set specific strategies without constant monitoring. Robinhood positions this as a major step toward giving retail traders advantages previously held by institutions. The company, which previously launched equities and options trading in the U.S., plans to expand the AI agent service to the UK soon. This move follows similar initiatives by other exchanges like Kraken and Coinbase, which launched AI agentic trading in 2026. However, current usage of such AI trading protocols remains relatively low, with transaction volumes and activity suggesting the market has yet to fully embrace the technology. Robinhood's entry could potentially broaden the adoption of AI-driven crypto trading.

Robinhood Chain flips Hyperliquid – 2 metrics show speculative interest

Robinhood Chain, a new Ethereum Layer 2, has rapidly become a major hub for speculative trading, surpassing Hyperliquid and BNB Chain in daily DEX volume. Its volume skyrocketed from under $10 million to a record $600 million, driven largely by viral memecoins like CashCat and a public bet by Robinhood's CEO. This surge has positioned it as the fourth-largest chain for such activity. However, the memecoin frenzy has reignited a broader debate about the value of L2s to Ethereum. Critics, including Bankless's David Hoffman, argue L2s operate as largely independent chains that do not economically benefit ETH. Uniswap CEO Hayden Adams countered that ETH-denominated trading pairs could increase ETH burns. The debate centers on whether L2 growth, while scaling Ethereum, ultimately undermines ETH's value by reducing transaction fees burned on the mainnet.

Pantera Capital: As Perpetual Contracts Move Towards the Financial Center, Hyperliquid Aims to Be All-Encompassing

Perpetual futures ("perps"), once a crypto-native phenomenon, are becoming a dominant global financial instrument, evolving into a fundamental market structure shift that traditional finance can no longer ignore. This article outlines the advantages of perpetual contracts over traditional futures, highlighting their simplicity (no expiry/rollover), easier risk management, and native 24/7 operation. While the concept is not new, digital assets provided the ideal environment for its explosive growth. Initially dominated by centralized exchanges (CEX), perps have recently migrated significantly to decentralized exchanges (DEX), with Hyperliquid emerging as the leading DEX for perps, capturing ~40% of the on-chain volume. Hyperliquid, built on its own purpose-built L1 blockchain, has successfully expanded beyond crypto into traditional assets like stocks, commodities, and indices, driven by its permissionless listing framework (HIP-3) and 24/7 availability. It has become a crucial price discovery venue during off-hours and for pre-IPO companies, attracting attention from traditional hedge funds and major exchanges like ICE, which now views it as serious competition. The investment thesis for Hyperliquid's token, HYPE, rests on its large and growing total addressable market (TAM) across all finance, strong execution, superior user experience, and direct value accrual via aggressive token buybacks using 99% of protocol revenue. Key risks remain, primarily regulatory uncertainty in the U.S., though recent CFTC actions approving certain regulated crypto perp contracts signal a potential shift toward broader acceptance. The core question is no longer if perpetuals matter beyond crypto, but whether blockchain-based infrastructure like Hyperliquid can become the primary venue for pricing, trading, and discovering risk across all financial domains.
