The DeFi Education Fund, a prominent lobbying group, and Beba, a Texas-based apparel company, have dropped a lawsuit against the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Summary DeFi Education Fund and Beba withdraw their 2024 lawsuit against the SEC as regulatory signals on airdrops begin to soften. SEC’s evolving stance under new leadership includes potential exemptions for airdrops and a move away from enforcement-led policymaking. The lawsuit was filed back in 2024 as a pre-enforcement challenge, where the plaintiffs argued the SEC had adopted its digital asset enforcement policy without going through a formal notice-and-comment rulemaking process. However, under new leadership, the commission has since taken a more accommodating stance toward the crypto sector, which has led to the voluntary dismissal filed on Friday. The filing was made without prejudice, which means the plaintiffs can refile the case at a later stage if needed. Over the past year, regulatory signals have started to evolve, including remarks from Commissioner Hester Peirce, who has indicated that airdrops may not fall under securities laws. Meanwhile, the filing also noted that the SEC is exploring a potential exemption framework for airdrops.

It added that the SEC Crypto Task Force is expected to address airdrops soon, which remains the central issue behind the original lawsuit.

A fresh clash between XRP critics and defenders broke out on X after Chainlink Community Liaison Zach Rynes (@ChainLinkGod) argued that the XRP investment thesis has failed to keep pace with how crypto markets and financial infrastructure have evolved. His central claim was blunt: the XRP Ledger is now a “ghost chain,” while the use case once pitched for XRP as a bridge asset has largely been overtaken by stablecoins and broader interoperability infrastructure.

Rynes framed the dispute around what he called the long-running retail thesis behind XRP. “The bizarre retail thesis of XRP is that it will become the global reserve currency that everything trades against, the so-called ‘XRP standard,’” he wrote. “Rather than trading Dollars for Euros directly, you would trade USD for XRP, and then XRP for EUR, because this makes payments supposedly more efficient.”

He argued that XRP supporters prefer to describe this not as a bid for reserve-currency status, but as a narrower “bridge currency” role. In his view, that distinction does not materially change the argument. He said the larger problem is that the market structure envisioned by early XRP advocates was built in other ways over the past decade.

“The XRP vision was created over a decade ago before we had modern 200K TPS high-throughput chains, programmable smart contracts, DeFi protocols, fiat-backed stablecoins, tokenized deposits, atomic DvP/PvP swaps, and cross-chain infra,” Rynes wrote. “If you listen to what the world’s largest financial institutions and market infrastructures like Swift, DTCC, JP Morgan, BlackRock, and many others are saying, you’ll find zero of them talking about the need for a ‘bridge currency.’ Rather, they talk about the need for connectivity, interoperability, privacy, compliance, and orchestration.”

The Iran Crisis and What It Exposed


The BRICS Iran situation made it sharper still. Iran joined the bloc in 2024, and when it came under attack in mid-2025, BRICS needed eleven days to produce a collective response — a statement that also managed to name no aggressor. The BRICS Iran crisis exposed something analysts had flagged for years: this is not a values-based coalition. India upgraded ties with Israel in the same period and also condemned Iran’s retaliatory missile strikes on the UAE, which is also a BRICS member. BRICS was playing a double game in the middle of a live conflict involving one of its own.

Priyal Singh, senior researcher at the Institute for Security Studies in Pretoria, stated:

“This conflict will have significant repercussions on how the group is perceived and understood, not just by its members, but by the whole international community.”

Patrick Bond, director of the Centre for Social Change at the University of Johannesburg, stated:

“No BRICS ruling class will come to Iran’s aid when at the same time, their class interests are in Israel’s prosperity, genocide or not.”

PayPal expands its stablecoin into 70 markets PayPal (PYPL) said it is expanding access to its dollar-backed stablecoin, $PYUSD$1.0001, to users in 70 markets, extending the token's reach beyond the U.S. as it pushes deeper into digital payments. Consumers in newly supported countries will be able to buy, hold, send and receive $PYUSD directly through their PayPal accounts, with the option to transfer the token to third-party crypto wallets or convert it to local currency when withdrawing funds. The launch is a "really powerful way to be able to show how stablecoins can actually be integrated into a distribution network for both consumers and merchants and then provide value and cost savings and instant speed and settlement," May Zabaneh, senior vice president and general manager of crypto at PayPal, told CoinDesk in an interview. "You're lowering costs, you're enhancing speed, you're providing consumers as well as businesses, the ability to hold, spend and earn." Stablecoins, digital tokens backed by assets such as fiat currency or commodities, have become a core payment and settlement layer in the crypto market, widely used for trading and cross-border transfers.

UK Man Claims Estranged Wife Stole 2,323 Bitcoin From His Hardware Wallet A U.K. man is suing his estranged wife for allegedly stealing 2,323 Bitcoin, worth approximately $172.6 million, from his hardware wallet.

The dramatic High Court case, filed earlier this month, exposes a tangled web of secret surveillance, alleged betrayal, and the legal gray zones of digital wealth, capturing the growing clash between cutting-edge cryptocurrency and centuries-old property law.

The case centers on Ping Fai Yuen, a U.K. resident who alleges that his wife, Fun Yung Li, unlawfully gained access to his cryptocurrency holdings in 2023.

According to court filings, Yuen claims Li managed to obtain the recovery phrase to his hardware wallet by secretly monitoring him through surveillance cameras installed inside their home.

Grayscale's Head of Research, Zach Pandl, has stated that crypto assets like XRP could see a repricing once the CLARITY Act provides regulatory clarity. The analyst indicated that the altcoin could be among the tokens that benefit the most, especially if it becomes less inflationary. Pundit Agrees XRP Could See Repricing With CLARITY Act In an X post, crypto pundit Archie drew attention to an interview Pandl had on the Paul Barron podcast in which the Grayscale executive agreed that XRP could see a repricing once the CLARITY Act passes. Barron specifically questioned Pandl about Section 205 of the Act, which could make Ripple restructure its XRP holdings in a bid to make the token more decentralized. Pandl noted that this could boost XRP's value, especially if future inflation is reduced. This could come in the form of Ripple potentially reducing its token unlocks. Archie commented on Pandl's remarks, highlighting how reduced inflation could unlock value across the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The Grayscale executive had also noted that their XRP ETF was already seeing huge investor demand, which could increase once there is regulatory clarity. Commenting on this, Archie stated that people are positioning early because they know what Comment 4 1

Written by: David Christopher Translated by: Block unicorn While reading this recent report from Galaxy Research, I gained one of the clearest glimpses into the future value of x402. One example caught my attention: a smart agent helps users book trips by querying high-quality weather data through x402, finding the best dates and destinations, providing flight and hotel options, and then passing all the information to the booking process. Each query is equivalent to a micropayment. Each data source is paid. The smart agent integrates all the information and ultimately makes the booking decision. What impressed me most was the perfect combination of x402 with data aggregation and management. Someone consolidates fragmented data sources into proprietary data, making it more useful than any single vendor, and sells access through x402. The data manager only incurs the integration cost once. Callers pay per query. Everyone benefits (provided the data volume is large enough, which we'll discuss later). From Galaxy Research

Original Title: How Much Money Would It Take for a President to Endorse Meme Coin? Milley: $5 Million

On March 17th, Beijing time, Argentine media outlet El Destape broke an exclusive bombshell: investigators recovered data from the phone of an Argentine cryptocurrency lobbyist showing that Argentine President Milley tweeted about LIBRA a year ago because he received a $5 million bribe, with the perpetrator being Hayden Davis, previously suspected.

Opposition lawmakers in Argentina who are pushing for this investigation have called it an "explosive scandal" and are demanding further investigation. However, as of press time, neither Milley nor the presidential palace has responded.

Promoting Meme Sparks Criticism, Blames "Political Infighting"

On February 15, 2025, Argentine President Milley promoted the Meme token called LIBRA on X, posting, "Free Argentina is growing!!! This private project will be dedicated to promoting Argentine economic growth and providing funding for Argentine small businesses and startups. The world wants to invest in Argentina."

At the time, the hype surrounding the US Trump and his wife's Meme token hadn't died down, and this new "presidential concept coin" reignited market enthusiasm. LIBRA's FDV surged to a peak of $4.56 billion within 30 minutes of its launch.
