🫡 Today is Hester Peirce's last day at the SEC — the commissioner, who was dubbed "Crypto Mom" in the crypto industry, is leaving after 8 years at the regulator.

Peirce consistently opposed regulating crypto through enforcement actions, promoted the idea of a safe harbor for tokens, and later headed the Crypto Task Force, which took on the task of creating clearer rules for digital assets.

❌ Blast is closing down — The once-hyped Ethereum L2, with $20M in investments and massive TVL, no longer covers its own infrastructure costs.

🗽 In the US, the first triple-leveraged Bitcoin and Ethereum funds have been approved — their price will move approximately three times more dramatically than BTC and ETH in a day.

🇬🇷 In Greece, a crypto pyramid scheme was busted, which promised to double money in 50 days allegedly with the help of AI.

According to the investigation, FXO handled more than $8,000,000 from at least 10,000 people, and payments to old participants were funded by new ones — among the 17 arrested, there were even nine servicemen.

🇪🇺 ECB Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel believes that it's time to move bank reserves directly onto the blockchain — so that interbank settlements, collateral, and liquidity can be automated with smart contracts.

This is NOT about a digital euro for ordinary people, but about money that banks use to settle with each other — and the Eurosystem is already launching part of such an infrastructure.
