Webull Brings Back Crypto Trading for U.S. Users

TheCryptoTimesPublicado em 2025-08-25Última atualização em 2025-08-25

Webull Corp. is bringing back cryptocurrency trading for customers in the United States after stopping the service in 2023 while attempting to go public. The company said trading is now live for all American customers.

The firm first introduced this service a few years ago but it was removed when rules and regulations around crypto became a problem, according to a report from Bloomberg.

During that time, the company launched Webull Pay as a separate app to handle digital assets, but now everything has been combined back into one place. This means customers can use the main Webull app to manage their accounts and trade crypto, stocks, and options all together.

Webull said the new system will allow trading at any time, day or night. More than 50 different digital assets are included, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

Anthony Denier, the U.S. Chief Executive Officer and Group President at Webull, said the change was important for customer choice. “When we removed crypto from the platform, it was against what our customers were asking for,” Denier said. He also called the relaunch part of Webull’s “full-throttle” move into digital finance, saying the update helps customers “manage their wealth and manage their growth.”

Denier also pointed out that the rules around crypto in Washington have shifted. Under former President Joe Biden, regulations and reviews were tougher, which made it difficult for companies like Webull. But with President Donald Trump now in office, Denier said there is more support and clearer rules for digital assets.

“Now, with a new administration prioritizing regulatory clarity and adoption of digital assets, the environment has never been more favorable,” he explained.

Stephen Yip, the CEO of Webull Pay, also gave his view on the update. “Cryptocurrencies have become an essential part of today’s diversified investment strategies,” Yip said, adding that the company wants to make the process simple and unified.

The relaunch follows the company’s decision to bring Webull Pay back into the main corporate group, making it a direct part of the company again. The was approved by its board and shareholders and is meant to support more compliant services.

Webull serves more than 24 million people across 14 different markets, and the company said it plans to bring crypto trading to more countries soon after its successful start in Brazil.

Deforming the Transformer, LLMs Become Smarter

A new research paper proposes "Tapered Language Models (TLMs)," a method that improves large language model performance without adding any parameters. It challenges the standard Transformer design where each layer has the same number of parameters ("feed-forward network" width). Building on evidence that layers are not equally important—earlier layers handle foundational information like grammar, while later layers often reinforce existing judgments—the researchers suggest reallocating model capacity from later to earlier layers. The core idea is to make the layer width taper off monotonically from start to end, keeping total parameters and compute constant. Experiments compared linear, cosine, and sigmoid tapering curves on a 440M parameter model. The cosine curve (e.g., starting width 1.5x baseline, ending 0.5x) achieved the best result, reducing perplexity by 1.84 points compared to the uniform baseline—a significant gain at zero cost. This finding proved robust across four different model architectures (including gated attention and memory-augmented models) and at larger scales (760M and 1.3B parameters), consistently improving performance on commonsense reasoning and language modeling tasks without harming long-context retrieval ability. The work highlights a long-overlooked design dimension: optimal parameter allocation across depth. It offers a "free lever" for efficiency, potentially applicable beyond language models to vision Transformers and diffusion models. The study was conducted by researchers from Mila, Cornell University, and the University of Montreal.

From SpaceX to Galaxy Digital: A Detailed Look at 37 New AI Companies and 7 Crypto Dark Horses Added to the Russell Indexes

On June 26th, following its annual reconstitution, the Russell US Indexes finalized their new components, with changes taking effect for market trading on June 29th. The Russell 3000 Index, representing approximately 98% of the investable US equity market, saw significant turnover. A record $334 billion was traded during Nasdaq's closing cross on reconstitution day, highlighting the massive passive fund flows tied to these benchmarks. Companies newly added to the index are set to benefit from mandatory buying by these funds. The reconstitution raised the market cap threshold between the large-cap Russell 1000 and small-cap Russell 2000 by 24% to $5.7 billion. Overall, 224 new companies entered the Russell 3000. Of these, 19 joined the Russell 1000, and 205 joined the Russell 2000, while 118 firms were removed. Notably, among the newcomers, approximately 37 are companies operating in the AI and semiconductor ecosystem, accounting for roughly 17% of new additions. The most prominent is SpaceX, which, following its recent IPO and soaring valuation, was fast-tracked directly into the Russell 1000 and Top 200 indexes. Additionally, about 7 cryptocurrency-related companies were newly included, representing about 3% of new entrants. These include Galaxy Digital, Bitmine, and Tron, among others. The inclusion of several Decentralized Autonomous Trust (DAT) entities signals the model's sustained market presence. For these smaller AI and crypto firms, index inclusion boosts visibility, potentially attracting further institutional investment and supporting their stock performance.

Token Uneconomical

"Token Inefficiency" explores the rising economic burden of AI model token usage in enterprises, where escalating costs often fail to match tangible productivity gains. Major companies like Microsoft, Uber, and Meta are facing "token inefficiency"—characterized by budget overruns for tools like Claude Code with unclear returns. This inefficiency stems from supply-side factors like strategic model price hikes by leaders (e.g., Anthropic) and price increases in budget-friendly models, alongside technical waste in Agent systems through context traps, tokenizer inflation, redundant skill calls, and multi-Agent coordination overhead. A deeper demand-side challenge limits token value: their primary utility remains confined to highly digitalized domains like programming, which benefits from automatic, low-cost feedback loops. Extending tokens to physical world tasks or less digitalized industries faces the "Sim-to-Real Gap," where real-world validation is costly and slow, unlike in code compilation. The article warns that this inefficiency concentrates financial risk in mid-tier model developers, potentially fueling circular financing schemes and shadow credit bubbles. It also highlights societal externalities, as data center expansion strains local power grids and inflates utility costs for residents. To achieve a positive net token economy, the path forward requires dual efforts: technical optimizations (context compression, skill reduction, model routing, budget constraints) and business-side discipline (governance, cost attribution, ROI focus). The ultimate goal is shifting from showcasing AI capabilities to maximizing value per token, finding scalable commercial applications that justify the investment and bridge the digital-physical divide.

Stock Price Halved in 45 Days, Is Circle Actually the "DeFi Barometer"?

Over a 45-day period, Circle's stock price plummeted by approximately 50% to around $63, coinciding with a significant $70 billion decline in the circulation of its USDC stablecoin from its peak. In contrast, Tether's USDT saw a much smaller reduction. Analyst Ed Engel posits that Circle acts as a barometer for DeFi activity, as a high correlation exists between USDC supply and ETH price movements. The vast majority of USDC is concentrated within crypto exchanges and DeFi protocols for yield generation, rather than for widespread daily use in payments or commerce, unlike USDT which has stronger real-world adoption in various regions. The recent contraction in DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL), following security incidents like the Kelp DAO attack, appears to mirror Circle's declining stock performance. While Circle is actively promoting USDC's use as a settlement asset on platforms like Hyperliquid and in institutional payment corridors—where its organic transfer volume surpasses USDT's—these efforts have not sufficiently driven growth in USDC's overall supply. The company's revenue remains heavily tied to DeFi's expansion. For Circle's investment narrative to change, it must either significantly reduce its reliance on the volatile DeFi sector or demonstrably prove that real-world adoption can substantially and sustainably increase USDC circulation. In the near term, market confidence hinges on DeFi addressing its inherent risk-reward imbalances.

Diversification Beyond Digital Assets

The article describes a major wealth transfer in the crypto market from late 2025 into 2026, where long-term Bitcoin holders sold to a new wave of institutional and traditional wealth buyers. This "cohort handover" occurred as capital rotated within crypto, moving into stablecoins rather than exiting during corrections. For private banks, this presents an opportunity but also an operational challenge: onboarding crypto-native high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) requires clear visibility into the provenance of their on-chain wealth. The compliance bottleneck hinders these clients from diversifying into traditional finance and blocks banks from accessing new capital. Cense, a Glassnode spin-out, addresses this by providing bank-ready, auditable documentation of digital wealth histories. This bridges the gap, allowing crypto wealth to enter the banking system for diversification and liquidity management, while enabling banks to onboard new clients and assets. The future points toward convergence, where seamless movement between crypto and traditional assets defines wealth management, with infrastructure like Cense's resolving the key compliance hurdle.
