Power Succession, Military Structure, and Cross-Border Capital: The Iranian Political Network of Mojtaba Khamenei

The article examines Iran's political transition around 2026, focusing on Mojtaba Khamenei's rise as emblematic of structural shifts toward a securitized state. While religious institutions retain formal authority, the Revolutionary Guards have expanded their political and economic influence, controlling key industries and infrastructure. Power succession depends not just on religious legitimacy but also military support and elite networks. Economic resources are distributed through religious foundations and quasi-official entities, intertwining wealth and political power. International sanctions have prompted the use of digital assets for trade settlements and capital transfers, creating a multi-layered financial system combining traditional banking with crypto channels. Mojtaba Khamenei operates at the intersection of these networks—religious, military, economic, and financial—reflecting Iran’s evolution toward a centralized, security-driven governance model where formal institutions coexist with informal power structures.

Justin Sun Faces Scrutiny Over Dual Control of TRON and TRX Treasury

TRON Inc. has acquired 173,514 TRX tokens at an average price of $0.2882 to expand its treasury reserves of the network's native asset. This move has drawn attention to Justin Sun's significant influence over the TRON ecosystem, including its strategic direction, development, and treasury management. While his leadership is seen by some as beneficial for driving innovation and growth, it has also raised concerns among market observers about transparency, accountability, and centralized control. The debate reflects broader discussions in crypto about governance models, balancing strong leadership with decentralized oversight to ensure long-term trust and project stability.

Solana Emerges As The Most Active Blockchain Ahead Of Major Chains By Daily Transactions

Solana has emerged as the most active blockchain by daily transaction volume, significantly outperforming other major chains. As the SOL price rebounded toward $90, the network processed approximately 108.8 million daily transactions—nearly ten times more than its closest competitor, BNB Chain, which recorded 13.0 million. Other networks, including Base, TRON, Polygon, and Ethereum, trailed further behind. This surge is attributed to Solana’s high-speed infrastructure, low fees, and growing activity in DeFi, NFTs, and consumer applications. Additionally, Solana dominated in decentralized exchange (DEX) volume throughout February and continued strongly into March, with over $200 billion in DEX volume recorded in just the first two days. This reflects deeper on-chain strength and sustained user engagement, signaling a shift in liquidity toward faster and more cost-effective blockchain networks.

CFTC Names New Enforcement Leader, Chair Promises End To Crypto Crackdown Era

The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has appointed former federal prosecutor David Miller as its new Director of Enforcement. Miller, who has experience in both prosecuting and defending complex digital asset cases, will lead the agency's enforcement efforts under new Chairman Michael Selig. Chairman Selig announced that this appointment marks the end of an era of "regulation by enforcement and witch hunts targeting crypto." Instead, the focus will shift to policing fraud, manipulation, and abuse, rather than using enforcement actions to make policy. This change is seen as aligning with the Trump administration's goal to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the world." The CFTC has also formed a new Innovation Advisory Committee with industry members to provide technical insight and help establish clearer regulatory guidelines.

Less Than a Year in Office and Leaving Again: Why Are Core Figures of the Ethereum Foundation Departing Once More?

Tomasz Stańczak, the co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation (EF), has announced his resignation, just 11 months after taking the role. He was appointed alongside Hsiao-Wei Wang in March 2025, replacing long-time leader Aya Miyaguchi amid community criticism that EF was too slow and disconnected. Stańczak, founder of core Ethereum client Nethermind, was brought in to make EF more decisive and execution-focused. During his tenure, he streamlined operations, refocused strategy on Layer-1 scaling, accelerated upgrade timelines, and pushed new initiatives in AI integration and privacy. His departure hints at internal tension. In his statement, Stańczak suggested his ability to operate independently within EF diminished as the leadership became more self-sufficient. He expressed a desire to return to hands-on product building, specifically in AI/blockchain convergence, echoing Ethereum’s early experimental spirit. He is replaced by Bastian Aue, a low-profile internal figure focused on "principled" decision-making aligned with "cypherpunk values," signaling a potential shift back towards a coordination-focused rather than execution-driven approach. This leadership change comes at a critical time. EF is preparing to release key proposals on "Lean Ethereum" and future roadmaps, while Ethereum faces intense competition, Layer-2 fragmentation, and market pressure—with its price risk falling below inflation-adjusted 2018 levels.

Multicoin Capital Co-Founder Kyle Samani Exits Firm Amid Market Downturn

Multicoin Capital co-founder Kyle Samani has announced his departure from the firm after a decade, a move that coincides with a major crypto market downturn. He described the decision as "bittersweet" and personal, not driven by panic, and expressed full confidence in the firm's leadership. Samani clarified he is not leaving the crypto industry, opting for an "in-kind redemption" to receive shares in Forward Industries—a Solana-focused company he chairs—instead of cash. He remains "Mega long on Solana and Mega long on crypto overall" and plans to stay active in the sector. His exit highlights a significant shift but underscores his continued belief in Solana's long-term potential.

CZ Draws A Line: Binance Co-Founder Declines Return After Trump Pardon

CZ, the co-founder of Binance, has declined to return to a leadership role at the company despite receiving a pardon from former US President Donald Trump in October 2025. The pardon cleared his name after he served prison time in 2024 for charges related to anti-money-laundering control failures at the exchange, which also resulted in Binance paying $4.3 billion in penalties. CZ described his prison experience as difficult and personal, and has stated publicly that Binance can operate successfully without him under its new leadership. He intends to focus on future endeavors, possibly as an investor or advisor, but will not resume day-to-day management. Binance has denied any political motives behind the pardon.

Crypto and AI Need Female Executives

The article "Crypto and AI Need Female Executives" highlights the rising prominence of women in leadership roles within the AI industry and draws parallels to their earlier influence in the crypto sector. It cites examples such as CZ Chen, COO of Manus (acquired by Meta), and MiniMax’s 31-year-old COO Yun Yeyi, who played a crucial role in the company’s IPO and commercial strategy. Globally, figures like Daniela Amodei of Anthropic, Lila Ibrahim of DeepMind, and Mira Murati of Thinking Machines Lab further illustrate this trend. The author notes that both crypto and AI are highly technical fields often led by founders strong in engineering but weaker in communication, marketing, and public relations—areas where female executives excel. Women like Binance’s He Yi and Matrixport’s Cynthia Wu previously helped bridge the gap between complex technology and mass adoption in crypto. The piece argues that the presence of women in operational and marketing roles signals an industry’s shift from pure technological development to commercialization and mainstream acceptance. As AI continues to attract top female talent, crypto—now lacking in narrative-building and user-friendly leadership—risks being left behind. The movement of talented female executives toward AI, the author concludes, is a marker of the industry’s growing maturity and commercial viability.
