Ah the point of crypto weekly is literally just news reporting, no opinions here! Personally I think it’s all a wash over the long term 🤷🏽‍♀️

-The SEC dropped its appeal in its case against Ripple Labs for alleged securities violations from the sale of its XRP token. Ripple estimates it spent >$150 million defending itself since 2020. -Crypto venture deals decreased by 60% since October 2024, with only 116 deals in February 2025 compared to over 300 in October, though investment value has remained stable at around $1 billion per month. -SEC Commissioner Hester Pierce suggested the agency will issue guidance clarifying that companies using NFTs as a fundraising mechanism will be exempt from securities regulations. -Pump(dot)fun announced PumpSwap, its own decentralized exchange that can be used to start liquidity pools for meme coins on the platform. Raydium, which was providing the service previously, is launching LaunchLab, a token launchpad similar to Pump(dot)fun.

It’s Sunday which means it’s Crypto weekly 🧵 time with me and @maaria: Crypto saw a modest rebound this week, following a broader market rally sparked by the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged. The total crypto market cap, along with BTC and ETH, rose by 3%, 2%, and 6% respectively week over week. Here are my favorite stories: -The US Treasury Department removed sanctions on cryptocurrency mixer Tornado Cash that were imposed in 2022. -The total market cap for stablecoins reached over $230 billion, up 56% from the same time last year. USDT and USDC make up almost 90% of the stablecoin market. -Speaking of USDT, Tether is engaging with a "Big Four" accounting firm to audit its reserves. Tether has gotten its fair share of criticism over the years over the transparency of it's reserves.

One of my favorite Cypherpunk quotes was written by Duncan Frissell in 1994: "Software has a wonderful property, the Cypherpunks are fond of saying: Once it's created, it can never be destroyed. It can be copied infinitely, from computer to computer, spreading like a secret. Come what may, unbreakable Cypherpunk code, and Cypherpunk networks, will be out there forever, they hope."
