Global inflation has slowed down, but in many countries, crypto is still providing an attractive and viable alternative to the local monetary system. Countries around the world are grappling with inflation, and in many places, investors and everyday savers are turning to crypto to protect their savings. The early 2020s saw a sharp uptick in global inflation rates amid government stimulus programs during the COVID-19 epidemic. Supply chain disruptions led to increased costs for businesses, and food and energy prices rose following Russia’s war in Ukraine. Central banks responded aggressively, hiking interest rates and easing pressure on supply chains. As a result, inflation rates have somewhat calmed in the last two years. Read more

Bitcoin’s hashrate is near record levels, yet miner revenue per unit of compute has fallen to record lows, pushing the network into a ‘high-security, low-profitability’ phase. While the network’s hashrate has pinned itself above the one-zettahash watermark, which is a record for aggregate computing power, the revenue underpinning that security has disintegrated to historic lows.

Houdini Swap launched Houdini Pay, a payment service that breaks onchain links between counterparties, offering surface-level privacy. Centralized instant exchange aggregator Houdini Swap has rolled out a private payment service allowing users to receive payments in their preferred asset without revealing their onchain address. According to an announcement shared with Cointelegraph, Houdini Pay allows users to generate shareable payment links with support for over 4,000 digital assets across multiple blockchains. The asset is converted to the receiver’s preferred asset, and routing the payment through the system breaks the onchain link between the sender and the receiver, preventing one from snooping on the other’s wallet. The fees incurred for using the service are those for using the Houdini Swap instant exchange aggregator on the back end and are covered by the sender. The recipient receives the full requested amount. Read more

Lawyers say privacy laws and AML laws sometimes conflict and there’s no clear path to compliance for decentralized blockchain projects. Crypto was originally most closely associated with anonymity, but in 2025, the crypto ecosystem has changed. User privacy is diminishing, as new laws in different jurisdictions across the globe require Know Your Customer and ID checks for wallets or exchange accounts to combat money laundering. The increasing sophistication of blockchain analysis tools means that every transaction has a transparent trail that can be traced back to its source. As a result, onchain privacy has become a major theme. In October, the Ethereum Foundation announced the formation of its Privacy Cluster, a group of some 47 researchers, engineers and cryptographers who are working to make the base layer of Ethereum private.

A malicious Chrome extension called Crypto Copilot lets users trade Solana directly from X but secretly skims a small portion of the transaction. A malicious Google Chrome browser extension is letting users trade on Solana, while quietly skimming a fee from every swap into the creator’s wallet. According to a Tuesday report by cybersecurity company Socket, the Google Chrome extension allows users to trade on Solana (SOL) from their X social media feed. Unlike typical wallet-draining malware that tries to steal the entire balance, Crypto Copilot “injects an extra transfer into every Solana swap, siphoning a minimum of 0.0013 SOL or 0.05% of the trade,” Socket found. On the back end, Crypto Copilot uses the decentralized exchange Raydium to perform swaps for the user, but appends a second instruction that transfers SOL from the user to the attacker. The user interface only shows the swap details while wallet confirmation screens “summarize the transaction without surfacing individual instructions.” Read more

CTDG Dev Hub’s upgrade pipeline turns raw ideas into tested code, formal proposals and transparent governance across networks. Blockchains do not stand still. Fee markets shift, validator sets evolve, and new modules arrive to handle everything from privacy to crosschain messaging. Behind each of those changes sits a simple starting point: an idea that someone cared enough to write down. Cointelegraph Decentralization Guardians (CTDG) was created to give those ideas a more reliable home. The initiative runs high-performance validators and participates in governance across networks such as Solana,, Injective, Chiliz, Polkadot, Coreum, Canton and Mantra, contributing to decentralization and security at the protocol layer. The CTDG Dev Hub, launched in collaboration with blockchain infrastructure provider Boosty Labs, extends the work to the development process itself. It serves as a public coordination space where contributors can submit, discuss and track upgrade proposals instead of relying on fragmented chat...

The reversal was driven by the 21Shares Solana ETF (TSOL), which saw over $34 million in withdrawals in a single day. US spot Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs) broke their flawless inflow streak on Wednesday, recording $8.1 million in net outflows, their first day in the red since launch, according to ETF data provider SoSoValue.  A single ETF product largely drove the pullback, the 21Shares Solana ETF (TSOL), which experienced over $34 million in outflows.

The Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) continued to dominate with a $13.33 million single-day intake, lifting its cumulative inflows to $527.79 million Read more
