President Sadyr Japarov announced that KGST, a stablecoin pegged to the Kyrgyz som, is now listed on the exchange, following new crypto legislation, a dollar stablecoin backed by physical gold, and initial plans for a national crypto reserve.

Crypto Heads Into 2026 With Privacy and Identity Up for Grabs

Crypto is heading into 2026 with its privacy story on the line. Governments, Big Tech and major chains are all converging on digital identity systems, but the design choices now being made will decide whether those systems enable surveillance or something closer to user control. The most interesting work this year has centered on decentralized identity standards that use selective disclosure and zero-knowledge proofs, letting users prove they are unique, eligible or compliant without handing over a full dossier. At the same time, pressure for one-click KYC and global identifiers has not gone away. If the industry cannot make privacy-preserving identity practical at scale, it risks building the rails for the very tracking regimes it claims to resist.

Bears Hold the Edge in Bitcoin's $30.3B Year-End Options Expiry

Year-end options pricing says the bears still have the upper hand. Around $30.3 billion in Bitcoin open interest will settle based on BTC's 8:00 am UTC print on Friday, after five weeks of sideways action near $89,000. Despite talk of US stimulus and a semi-bullish 2026, the skew in options markets still leans toward downside protection rather than aggressive upside bets.

VCs Ranked Crypto's 2025 Winners and Losers

Venture capital did not leave crypto in 2025; it just got more selective. Partners from firms like Pantera, Hash3 and Variant spent the year shifting from broad token bets to narrower themes, sorting clear winners from projects that could not survive higher rates and regulatory drag. At the same time, incumbents with strong balance sheets used the downturn to buy talent and assets on better terms. The result is a market where "crypto value" has drifted toward payments, base layers and infrastructure that fits inside new rulebooks.

Scaramucci on Trump, Ego and Why Bitcoin Survived Without an Altcoin Season

When the President of the United States tweets about you, it stops being a policy debate and becomes personal. Anthony Scaramucci has lived that transition. In this interview, he talks bluntly about what it feels like to be targeted in public, how ego and fear warp decision-making, and why he calls Donald Trump a terrible leader while still doing business with Trump's son, Eric. We also get into why there was no real altcoin season, how Trump helped Bitcoin but damaged broader crypto, and why Scaramucci ranks Michael Saylor as the smartest person in the space.
