Crypto Markets Take a Breather: Are We Witnessing the Calm Before the Storm?

According to the esteemed CoinShares – which, let’s face it, sounds like a posh club you’d find in a Wodehouse novel – our exchange-traded products have had a week to remember, logging a staggering $63 billion in trading volume. That’s right, higher than last October’s shindig when everyone seemed to have more money than sense!

Ripple’s Custody Makeover: Staking, Security, and Zero Validator Drama!

Ripple’s teamed up with Securosys (yes, another acronym-HSM, or Hardware Security Module, if you’re not cool enough to know) to bring CyberVault and CloudHSM into the mix.
