A community director at the advocacy organization Stand With Crypto said US lawmakers’ voting records on a pending market structure bill could impact their reelection chances.

Republic Technologies secured a zero-interest convertible loan to expand its Ether holdings, a structure that could limit shareholder dilution. Republic Technologies, formerly known as Beyond Medical Technologies before transitioning into blockchain infrastructure, has secured a $100 million convertible note facility to expand its Ether holdings — a move the company said will enable it to grow its ETH treasury with minimal shareholder dilution due to favorable financing terms. The financing comes with unusual terms for a crypto-related company: a 0% interest rate, no ongoing interest payments and no requirement to post additional collateral if the price of Ether (ETH) falls, the company announced Monday. These features mean Republic does not have to spend cash servicing the debt and cannot default for failing to make interest payments — a common issue for highly leveraged digital-asset companies.

EU lawmakers stripped out mandatory client-side message scanning from the latest Chat Control draft, but invasive age checks and voluntary scanning remain. European Union efforts to mandate scanning of private messages have been blocked again, marking another setback for the bloc’s proposed Chat Control legislation, and another win for digital rights activists.

According to him, the addition of the following line under the Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU — which also saw the introduction of the backdoor clause — resolved the issue: The draft used vague language referring to “all possible risk mitigation measures,” which, according to critics, would allow authorities to force ... -

It doesn’t seem like that, but it is the case through the demand that we provide in the market,” said Alexander Laizet, board director of Bitcoin strategy at Capital B. Read more -

Investors retreat from crypto ETPs across major regions, resulting in a 27% decline in AUM from October’s peak as uncertainty drives a shift toward safer products.
