Blockchain Beyond the Buzz

Working for a healthy blockchain ecosystem!

[Dante Disparte @ddisparte]

My second act on @bfrr_podcast involved reuniting the band with @Jonas__Gross and Jonathan. This was a far-reaching conversation covering "libra to legitimacy" for the stablecoin and tokenized money revolution @circle is powering. From the global regulatory clarity driven by MiCA and GENIUS, to Circle's broader strategy with @arc, CPN, and AI. https://t.co/d72BqoaAw8

It’s me! But proud for my ponytail to be confused with @ChrisBarrett

$253M. One market. 27 days. That's how much wash trading we flagged in Polymarket's 2024 US Election market.

1/6
Standing room only at Solidus' @FIAconnect's Law & Compliance Conference in DC this morning, for our fireside chat with @Kalshi - "No Bets On Integrity: Surveillance in Digital Asset & Prediction Markets."

A bit on what we discussed - a thread.

[Solidus Labs @Solidus_Labs]

1/6 Our CEO @asaf_meir sat down with @AInvest_Official to talk about why prediction markets are at a turning point — and why integrity is now the product.

A thread.

@AOC You’d be surprised at the level of sophistication applied today to detect and prevent market abuse. If you’re interesting to dig deep, we visit Congress often and we’d be happy to showcase to you the frontier work that’s been done.

It was great joining @AradChen as the first guest on @Solidus_Labs' new podcast. This conversation and interview pierces through many nuanced topics, and is the interview only a former journalist and all around crypto conoscenti could deliver.

🇭🇰 @hkmagovhk just redefined AML for stablecoins.

HKMA is shifting from identity checks to full ecosystem monitoring, a big leap for crypto compliance.

Why it matters👇

🚨 Trump quietly moved to block CBDCs just days after taking office. @AshBennington and @AradChen, co-founder and CXO at @Solidus_Labs

Could a digital dollar mean the end of financial privacy?

🕵️‍♂️ Law enforcement prefers criminals use crypto over cash? @AshBennington and @AradChen, co-founder and CXO at @Solidus_Labs

Blockchain makes tracking criminal activity easier than ever, but lawmakers are slower to catch up.

🏛️ The #GeniusAct clears the House amid a bipartisan push — but Senate approval remains uncertain. @AshBennington and @AradChen, co-founder and CXO at Solidus Labs.

Unity in industry and strong consumer protections are key to success.

[Chen Arad @AradChen]

RIP #HulkHogan - and memetoken investors beware. @Solidus_Labs’ @Token_Sniffer team tells me that in the past 8 hours at least 52 “Hulk Hogan” themed memecoins were deployed on Solana (49) and Base (3), with at least 5 of them already rug-pulled for more than $50k.

[Hester Peirce @HesterPeirce]

The GENIUS Act got signed into law today, and I look forward to working with SEC-regulated entities to integrate payment stablecoins safely into our capital markets: https://t.co/AMKMMOSPvD
