Forgd brings its crypto market-maker leaderboard to DefiLlama

Crypto analytics platform DefiLlama has integrated Forgds market-maker leaderboard, giving users access to data on spreads, market depth, trading volume and uptime.　　In an announcement sent to Cointelegraph, Forgd said that the dashboard ranks crypto market makers using standardized measures of pricing, depth, reliability and execution quality. The data comes from more than 500 token projects and 35 market-making firms that use Forgds tools to monitor liquidity across active engagements, according to the company.　　The integration allows DefiLlama users to compare market makers across exchanges and assess the liquidity supporting individual tokens. Forgd first launched the leaderboard in May as a tool for token projects selecting and monitoring liquidity providers.　　Ryan Celaj, DefiLlamas head of research, said the integration adds another signal for evaluating execution quality and market resilience alongside metrics such as volume and liquidity.　　However, the ratings do not solely reflect observed trading performance. “A lower grade on the index is not necessarily a judgment of a firms trading,” Forgd CEO Shane Molidor told Cointelegraph.　　“It reflects that they havent yet fully opted into performance verification.” This means that the leaderboard ratings may also reflect the amount of data a market maker provides to Forgd.　　Forgd and DefiLlama did not disclose financial terms for

MiCA CASP tracker makes EU crypto licences searchable

The MiCA Crypto Alliance launched its MiCA CASP Tracker on Aug. 5, turning public authorisation data from the European Securities and Markets Authority into a searchable directory for crypto users, businesses and compliance teams.　　The tool allows users to check whether a company appears in ESMA‘s Markets in Crypto-Assets register and review the services it may legally provide. Each profile can show the firm’s name, Legal Entity Identifier, home country, national regulator, authorisation date and approved service categories.　　MiCA tracker makes ESMA data easier to search　　ESMA currently publishes its interim MiCA register through downloadable files. The latest version was dated July 31. The regulator says it republishes the data weekly after receiving updates from national competent authorities.　　Moreso, the new tracker adds search and comparison functions. Users can filter records by company, country, regulator or authorised service. This can help a customer distinguish between a firm approved for custody and one permitted to operate a trading platform, exchange assets or execute client orders.　　The MiCA Regulation defines ten regulated crypto services. They cover custody, trading platform operation, crypto-to-fiat exchange, crypto-to-crypto exchange, order execution, token placement, order transmission, advice, portfolio management and asset transfers.　　A company‘s appearance in the register does not mean every product it

"You stole, please return some." Coldcard hacker's wallet becomes a graffiti wall of pleas and hustles

SummaryA wallet tied to the Coldcard hacker has received several deposits since July 30, with some carrying written messages attached via Bitcoins OP_RETURN function.Messages range from genuine-sounding pleas for the money back to opportunistic pitches, including one offering to launder the stolen funds for a 10% cut.　　“You stole, please return some.”　　Thats one of several messages now sitting permanently on the Bitcoin blockchain, addressed to the wallet tied to the Coldcard hacker, which currently holds funds worth roughly $36 million. Each message arrives with a real, if tiny, payment attached.　　The wallet in question is “bc1qq85v2c926eg6pgxhwp6q7lf6cnsz80qs3fcu9r.” It has been identified by blockchain researchers, including those at Galaxy Research, as one of the attacker-controlled addresses tied to the theft.　　The address has taken in several deposits since the Coldcard theft began on July 30, with many of those transactions carrying written messages. Most are pleas to return the stolen money; others are performative, and at least one offers services to launder the stolen BTC.　　This is as much a story about how the Bitcoin blockchain functions as it is about hack victims paying to convey their sentiments to the person who took their money.

Ethereum researchers want to rein in staking; critics say it could backfire

A group of six Ethereum researchers and developers, including Ethereum Foundation‘s Justin Drake, has proposed changing the network’s issuance policy to cut validator rewards more sharply as the proportion of staked ETH rises.　　The draft, called the Tapered Issuance Burn and currently being assigned the provisional number EIP-8363, would burn an increasing fraction of validators consensus rewards as the amount of staked ETH approaches a fixed threshold of 60.25 million ETH (around 50% of the current ETH supply), at which point the deduction hits 100%. The changes would phase in over 18 months.Tapered Issuance Burn Ethereum Improvement Proposal. Source: Github　　The proposal has triggered backlash from developers, stakers and DeFi founders, who warn that the reward cuts could force out solo validators before larger institutions are affected, weaken institutional demand for ETH and disrupt DeFi markets built around staking yield.　　One of the proposal‘s authors, Jérôme de Tychey, said the changes are needed to address the rising share of Ether being staked, which passed 33% in April. The authors argue continued staking growth could concentrate ETH in large custodians and liquid staking providers, while unchecked issuance erodes Ether’s role as a neutral, trustless store of value.　　“Ever-growing issuance is a dilution tax on every

Who should regulate prediction markets？ Senators push Clarity Act changes

Senators have pushed to preserve state and tribal control over sports betting by seeking changes to the Clarity Act as Congress weighs federal crypto market legislation.　　During a Senate Indian Affairs Committee roundtable on Tuesday, Indian Gaming Association Vice Chairman Tehassi Hill argued that prediction markets tied to sports and casino events should remain subject to state and tribal gaming laws instead of falling under the exclusive oversight of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.　　The discussion comes as the Senate works to advance the Clarity Act before lawmakers leave Washington for the August recess, with limited legislative time remaining before attention turns to the November elections.　　Supporters of the proposal see the cryptocurrency market structure bill as a possible vehicle to clarify the limits of the CFTCs authority over prediction markets.　　Senators seek Clarity Act changes over prediction markets　　Speaking before the committee, Indian Gaming Association Vice Chairman Tehassi Hill urged Congress to amend the Clarity Act to explicitly prevent “sports and casino gambling through prediction markets” from bypassing existing gaming rules.　　Hill said the legislation should make clear that state gaming laws and the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, rather than federal commodities law, govern those markets.
