It’s the kind of disconnect that shows up in crypto from time to time, price...
At the latest “SEC Speaks in 2026” event, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made it clear that something bigger than a routine update is happening. Chairman Paul S. Atkins didn’t just talk about tweaking policies, he laid out a broader shift in how the agency wants to regulate markets going forward. The message wasn’t overly polished or dressed up.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has introduced a new idea that could quietly change how people experience the network day to day. It’s called the Fast Confirmation Rule (FCR), and the goal is pretty simple: make transactions feel “final” much faster than they do today. Right now, users often wait longer to be sure a transaction won’t be reversed. With FCR, that confidence could come in about...
Tempo’s mainnet is officially live, and from today, developers can start building directly on the platform using public RPC endpoints.
