Develops Advocacy for Designated Developer Safeguards in the Face of Regulatory Enforcement Actions (DeFi Education Fund)
In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency, several significant developments have taken place in recent times.
The DeFi Education Fund, a prominent organisation in the decentralised finance (DeFi) space, has been actively advocating for clear regulations from the US Congress. The Fund seeks robust, nationwide protections for software developers and non-custodial service providers in market structure legislation. In a recent letter addressed to the Senate Committee on Banking and the Committee on Agriculture, the Fund collected 100 signatures from some of the biggest funds, decentralized hubs, DEXs, aggregators, and lending platforms, calling for guarantees and protections for blockchain developers.
The US Congress has shown signs of movement in this regard. As of August 2025, the House and Senate have accepted the drafts of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act and the Keep Your Coins Act, which could pave the way for favourable regulations in the near future.
Meanwhile, the crypto market has been buzzing with news about Solana, a high-performance blockchain. Pantera, a leading cryptocurrency investment firm, has made a $1.1B bet on Solana, predicting a potential price of $750K for Bitcoin. Solana creators have also received $19.3M from Pump.Fun streams. There is a growing debate on whether Solana's price could outshine both Ethereum and Bitcoin.
Elsewhere in the crypto sphere, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dismissed a lawsuit based on the Dealer Rule in February 2025, opening the door to crypto innovation. This decision could have far-reaching implications for the industry.
Other notable news includes the launch of XRP and Dogecoin ETFs this week, the final Testnet1 upgrade by Pi Network ahead of its mainnet transition, and Santander's Openbank rolling out Bitcoin, Ether, and more for European users.
In the traditional tech world, Larry Ellison is involved with OpenAI, Paramount, Warner Bros., and TikTok all at once. Nvidia stock has dropped by 3% due to allegations of breaching China's anti-monopoly law. BYD stock has lost $45 billion in value due to rising doubts over China's EV dominance.
Lastly, Cardano news: Hoskinson discusses the future of the network as its price could surge above $3. The UAE M2 crypto exchange has changed its business model, and Monero is facing a growing double-spending threat after a block reorganization. Hackers have seized the FBI's botnet takedown targets and built a stronger cyberweapon from it.
These developments underscore the dynamic and fast-paced nature of the cryptocurrency market, where news and trends can change rapidly. As regulations evolve and innovations continue to emerge, it will be interesting to see how the landscape unfolds in the coming months.
