From repealing IRS DeFi regulations to the SEC\u2019s softened stance on crypto enforcement, the industry scored several crucial legal and institutional wins. Meme coins, Bitcoin, and DeFi projects appear to be the primary beneficiaries of this evolving policy landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">U..S Trump Repeals IRS DeFi Rule, Signals Policy Shift<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In one of the biggest policy moves of the week, <strong>President Trump signed H.J. Res. 25<\/strong>, officially <strong>repealing a Biden-era IRS rule<\/strong> that required <strong>DeFi platforms to report user transaction data<\/strong> via Form 1099. Critics had argued that the regulation stifled innovation and was impractical for decentralized systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This legislative rollback is viewed as <strong>a pro-DeFi and pro-privacy milestone<\/strong>, with implications for how decentralized platforms operate under U.S. law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcc9 Tariff Chaos, Dollar Weakness, and Bitcoin\u2019s Resilience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trade war fears returned to the headlines as Trump\u2019s on-again-off-again tariffs triggered <strong>volatility in equities<\/strong>. However, <strong>Binance CEO Richard Teng<\/strong> called it a net positive for crypto, saying <strong>\u201ctrade protectionism will accelerate interest in crypto as a non-sovereign store of value.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin remained relatively stable amid the turmoil, trading around <strong>$84,300<\/strong> at the end of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2696\ufe0f SEC and Binance Extend Case Pause<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a move signaling regulatory leniency, the <strong>SEC and Binance<\/strong> agreed to <strong>pause their legal dispute<\/strong>, coinciding with Binance\u2019s improved relationship with U.S. Treasury officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This reflects a broader shift under Trump\u2019s SEC, which has also softened its approach toward <strong>Coinbase, Gemini, Uniswap<\/strong>, and <strong>Nova Labs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcb8 Ripple Scores Big Win and Major Acquisition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ripple (XRP)<\/strong> finally put its long-running battle with the SEC to rest, agreeing to a <strong>$50 million settlement<\/strong>. More notably, Ripple also announced the <strong>acquisition of brokerage firm Hidden Road for $1.25 billion<\/strong>, marking one of the <strong>largest M&amp;A deals in crypto history<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\uddd1\u200d\u2696\ufe0f DOJ Stays on Do Kwon Case, Shuts Down Crypto Unit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast to the SEC\u2019s lighter touch, the <strong>Department of Justice confirmed it will maintain charges against Terraform Labs founder Do Kwon<\/strong>. However, in a surprise internal shift, the DOJ <strong>dissolved its crypto crimes unit<\/strong>, signaling a <strong>reduction in aggressive federal crypto enforcement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udd25 Trump-Backed DeFi Denies ETH Sale Rumors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>World Liberty Financial<\/strong>, a DeFi project linked to Trump and his family, <strong>denied reports<\/strong> that it sold <strong>$8 million worth of Ethereum<\/strong>. Blockchain data from Arkham had suggested such a sale, but the group issued a firm denial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the <strong>Official Trump (TRUMP) token<\/strong> is expected to receive <strong>$320 million in token allocations next week<\/strong>, representing <strong>20% of circulating supply<\/strong> a move that could shape market dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udc15 Dogecoin ETF Race Heats Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>21Shares<\/strong> filed an <strong>S-1 with the SEC<\/strong> for a <strong>spot Dogecoin ETF<\/strong>, joining <strong>Bitwise and Grayscale<\/strong> in the race. This comes amid increased institutional demand for meme coins and retail trading products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcc8 Hoskinson Predicts $250K Bitcoin Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson<\/strong> made headlines with a bold prediction: <strong>Bitcoin could hit $250,000<\/strong> by the end of this year or next. He cited <strong>pending U.S. legislation and institutional adoption<\/strong> as key catalysts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u26a1 Pakistan Eyes Crypto Mining Using Surplus Power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a developing market surprise, <strong>Pakistan is considering using excess electricity to power Bitcoin mining and AI data centers<\/strong>. Former Binance CEO <strong>CZ is now advising the country\u2019s newly formed Crypto Council<\/strong>, signaling growing institutional interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udfa8 OpenSea Pushes for Regulatory Clarity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the <strong>SEC\u2019s decision to drop its investigation<\/strong>, <strong>OpenSea formally requested regulators<\/strong> to confirm that NFT platforms <strong>are not securities brokers or exchanges<\/strong>\u2014a potentially precedent-setting move for the NFT sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf0d Argentina Launches Crypto Scandal Probe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Argentina\u2019s Chamber of Deputies approved the formation of a <strong>special commission to investigate the LIBRA scandal<\/strong>, which has entangled the administration of <strong>President Javier Milei<\/strong>. The scandal has shaken investor confidence in Argentina\u2019s crypto scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udd10 WazirX Wins Creditor Approval for Recovery Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Indian exchange <strong>WazirX received over 93% creditor approval<\/strong> for its <strong>restructuring proposal<\/strong>, a key milestone following its <strong>$235 million hack<\/strong>. The breach was allegedly orchestrated by <strong>North Korean hackers<\/strong>, and the restructuring plan is central to restoring operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\udde0 Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The crypto world is seeing a <strong>political and regulatory pivot<\/strong> with <strong>Trump-era policies marking a stark contrast<\/strong> to the previous administration\u2019s approach. From DeFi wins and Ripple\u2019s rebound to growing international adoption, the tone is shifting bullish across multiple fronts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the <strong>legal landscape eases and institutional moves heat up<\/strong>, crypto markets could see <strong>renewed confidence and capital inflows<\/strong> especially in sectors like DeFi, meme coins, and NFTs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week in crypto brought a tidal wave of political, regulatory, and market-shifting developments, with President Donald Trump taking center stage.
