Jito Foundation to return to US amid 'clearer rules' for digital assets

Resumo

The Jito Foundation, a nonprofit supporting the Solana-based MEV infrastructure platform Jito, has decided to return to the United States, citing clearer regulatory rules for digital assets. The organization had previously moved operations overseas due to debanking and regulatory hostility during what industry figures call "Operation Chokepoint 2.0." Jito Labs CEO Lucas Bruder stated that banks and vendors refused to work with them, creating significant legal risks. Recent developments, including the passage of the GENIUS stablecoin bill and progress on a crypto market structure bill, influenced the decision to return. Despite a more favorable regulatory environment under the new SEC leadership, some crypto industry executives report that debanking practices continue.

The Jito Foundation, the nonprofit organization facilitating the development of the Jito platform, said it will return to the United States, citing “clearer rules” for digital assets in the country.

Jito is a maximal extractable value (MEV) infrastructure builder for the Solana network. MEV refers to the profit that traders or validators can make by controlling the order, inclusion or exclusion of transactions in a blockchain block. By rearranging transactions before they are confirmed, MEV participants can capitalize on opportunities such as arbitrage or front-running to earn extra fees on transaction rewards.

The Jito Foundation was forced to operate overseas due to the debanking of the crypto industry during the so-called Operation Chokepoint 2.0, according to Lucas Bruder, co-founder and CEO of Jito Labs. Bruder, pseudonymously known as “buffalu,” said:

“Banks wouldn’t service us. Vendors wouldn’t contract with us. Every product decision carried real but unquantifiable legal risk from a hostile and capricious regulatory agency gone rogue.”

Bruder cited recent regulatory changes, including the passage of the GENIUS stablecoin bill and lawmakers working on a crypto market structure bill, as reasons for the Jito Foundation returning to the US.

The announcement reflects the regulatory sea change in the US, particularly at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), following the 2024 presidential election and the appointment of Paul Atkins as SEC chair.

Crypto industry executives say Operation Chokepoint 2.0 is ongoing in 2025

Even with a pro-crypto administration in the White House and at the SEC, crypto industry executives continue to report being victims of debanking.

In November, Jack Mallers, the CEO of Bitcoin Lightning Network payments company Strike, said JPMorgan Chase closed his personal bank account.

The financial services giant did not specify the reason for closing the account, Mallers said, adding that his father had been a private client for over 30 years.

In August, Alex Rampell, a general partner at venture capital firm Adreessen Horowitz, warned of the continuation of Operation Chokepoint by the banking industry through other tactics.

These tactics include banks charging excessive fees for clients moving crypto to wallets, centralized exchanges, Web3 applications and other digital asset service providers or outright blocking transfers to specific crypto platforms, Rampell said.

India Maintains Tough Crypto Position as RBI Renews Warning Against Digital Assets

India's Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has renewed its warning against cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, advocating for restrictions to protect the country's financial system from potential risks like contagion and threats to monetary sovereignty. The central bank expressed concerns that stablecoins, particularly foreign-currency-backed ones, could undermine India's monetary control and government revenue. Simultaneously, tax authorities are facing significant challenges in tracking and taxing crypto transactions. Reports indicate low compliance, with less than a quarter of an estimated 645,000 traders declaring their crypto activities for a recent financial year. Issues stem from offshore exchanges, private wallets, and peer-to-peer transactions obscuring ownership. In response, new data reporting requirements for exchanges are set for 2026. Despite the absence of comprehensive legislation and the RBI's tough stance, India remains a major global crypto market with an estimated 39 million holders. Various government bodies continue to evaluate long-term regulatory and accounting frameworks for digital assets.

Ethereum holds Q3 gains as Tether burns $2.5B – Yet THIS catalyst remains

Ethereum's upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade, entering final testing for H2 2026, aims to boost scalability through parallel transaction processing and a gas limit increase. This infrastructure catalyst arrives as Ethereum faces on-chain challenges: DeFi liquidity has weakened with a significant drop in TVL, exemplified by Aave's decline, and stablecoin capital is contracting. Tether's recent $2.5B USDT burn on Ethereum further reduces network liquidity. While ETH gained 11% in early Q3, sustaining momentum requires a recovery in DeFi activity. The upgrade provides a fundamental bullish narrative, but macro uncertainty and liquidity pressures may limit upside, raising questions about a strong H2 cycle.

Embodied Intelligence 'Gaokao' is Insanely Hard, Humans Score 100, Best Model Only 12.8

Embodied AI Faces a Daunting "Everest": New Benchmark Reveals Huge Gap Between Models and Humans A comprehensive new benchmark for robotic manipulation, RoboDojo, has been released, painting a stark picture of the current state of embodied AI. It serves as a unified evaluation platform covering both simulation and real-world robot tasks. The benchmark assesses five core capabilities: Generalization (adapting to new scenes/objects), Memory, Precision manipulation, Long-Horizon multi-step tasks, and Open semantic understanding. It includes 42 simulation tasks and 18 standardized real-world tasks across three dual-arm robot platforms. The results are sobering. In simulation, the best-performing generalist robot policy achieved an average success rate of only 8.80%. Performance in the real world was slightly higher but still low, with the top model succeeding 12.8% of the time on average. In stark contrast, human experts scored 76.03% in simulation and 100% in real-world tests. The benchmark highlights significant, uneven gaps in current models' abilities. While some excel in specific areas like visual recognition or simple actions, they struggle with reliability, especially in long-horizon tasks where errors accumulate and in open-ended semantic instructions. The low scores, particularly in real-world deployment with physical uncertainties like camera noise and contact dynamics, underscore that today's models are far from being robust, general-purpose operational robots. RoboDojo is more than just a ranking; it's an infrastructure designed for fair, reproducible comparison. Its companion system, XPolicyLab, standardizes the interface for different models to be evaluated. Maintained by an academic consortium without commercial ties, it aims to provide a community-wide "altitude meter" to track genuine progress toward reliable and generalizable robot manipulation.

Behind ANSEM's 300% Weekly Surge: The Recovery and Traps of Solana Meme Coins

The meme coin ANSEM surged nearly 299% in a week, driving a resurgence in Solana-based meme token activity. Data from DeFiLlama shows Pump.fun's weekly DEX volume reached $5.33 billion, with July 4th marking the platform's first $1 billion daily volume since April. This revival saw a spike in new token launches and heightened trading activity, with memes again accounting for over 20% of Solana's weekly transaction volume. However, industry reports highlight significant risks. The average meme coin holding time has plummeted to around 100 seconds, and sophisticated bots often front-run retail investors, acquiring large portions of supply at launch before dumping. Research analyzing thousands of projects indicates widespread market manipulation, with a majority of top-gaining tokens showing signs of wash trading and pool manipulation. While meme coins effectively attract new users and generate hype for the Solana ecosystem, the current rally raises the critical question of whether this cycle can break free from the established pattern where late-arriving retail traders become exit liquidity for early bots and coordinated groups. The market's future trajectory hinges on whether the momentum can be sustained or if it will fade, leading traders back to major assets like SOL.

Zuckerberg's 'Mango' Image Generation Model Trails Only GPT Image 2, It Learned to Revise Prompts on Its Own

Meta's MSL has launched Muse Image, an advanced image generation model nicknamed "Mango," which ranks second globally in text-to-image benchmarks, closely trailing OpenAI's GPT Image 2. Its key innovation is agent-like behavior: it searches for factual information, writes code for charts, and, most notably, has developed self-correction abilities through reinforcement learning, allowing it to revise its own outputs without explicit programming. This shift emphasizes reasoning over immediate generation. Integrated with Meta's ecosystem, Mango connects with the Muse Spark language model for complex tasks and features a unique "@" function that can incorporate public Instagram photos into generated images—raising privacy concerns as it's enabled by default. The model is directly accessible in Meta AI, Instagram, and WhatsApp, leveraging Meta's vast user base for distribution rather than competing solely on image quality. Accompanying Mango is the preview of Muse Video, a video generation model with integrated audio, currently ranked third in its category. All Mango-generated images include an invisible, persistent watermark (Content Seal) for AI identification, alongside a public detection tool. While Mango advances "thinking" image models, its use of social data poses new ethical questions about consent and digital boundaries.
