'Applesauce': Michigan judge denies Coinbase bid to block state enforcement of sports event contracts

Quick TakeA Michigan federal judge has rejected Coinbases preliminary injunction motion seeking to block potential state enforcement over its planned offering of sports event contracts.“Coinbases averments are, in a word, applesauce,” U.S. District Judge Shalina Kumar wrote in the ruling.　　A Michigan federal judge has denied Coinbases preliminary injunction bid to block state enforcement against sports event contracts.　　U.S. District Judge Shalina Kumar of the Eastern District of Michigan ruled on Thursday that Coinbase failed to establish that it is likely to succeed on the merits of its claims that federal law preempts Michigans jurisdiction.　　The crypto exchange sued Michigan in December 2025, arguing that prediction markets fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission under the federal Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) rather than state gaming regulators.　　Coinbase specifically seeks to use its platform to provide customers, including those in Michigan, access to event contracts offered by Kalshi.　　The exchange claims that Michigans gambling laws are “conflict preempted” because they frustrate Congresss efforts to create a uniform federal regulatory scheme and because complying with both the CEA and the states Lawful Sports Betting Act (LSBA) would be impossible, according to the filing.　　However, the judge rejected the arguments, holding that Coinbase failed to

BNB Hits 80 Million Holders, Overtakes Tron as Biggest Stablecoin Network

BNB Chain has surpassed Tron to become the largest blockchain in terms of stablecoin holders, marking a significant milestone in the stablecoin ecosystem. BNB Chain currently has about 79.3 million stablecoin-holding addresses, just overtaking Trons 76.1 million, according to the most recent data from Token Terminal.　　The accomplishment signifies a significant change in the use of blockchain technology over the previous 12 months. The number of stablecoin holders on BNB Chain has increased from about 42 million addresses to almost 80 million since late 2024, a roughly 54.5 percent increase.　　The new home for Stablecoins　　While Trons user base grew during that time, it did so much more slowly, which allowed BNB Chain to close a significant gap and take the lead. Since stablecoin holder growth reflects actual wallet adoption rather than just speculative trading volume, it is one of the best measures of blockchain activity.　　BNB/USDT Chart by TradingView　　Since stablecoins are the main settlement asset in centralized exchanges, decentralized finance, and payments, their distribution is a crucial indicator of network utility.　　According to the most recent rankings, Ethereum has about 26 million stablecoin holders, with Celo coming in second with 24.5 million and Polygon with 21.7 million.

Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty pushed back on the idea that cryptocurrency remains a niche dominated by young men, pointing to survey data showing 67 million Americans now hold digital assets.　　SummaryAlderoty says 67 million American crypto holders show digital assets have moved beyond niche stereotypes.NCA research found 42% of recent crypto purchasers were women, compared with 34% earlier adopters.28% of recent holders were 55 or older, versus 18% aged between eighteen and twenty-four.The Senate delayed its CLARITY Act floor vote until September as bipartisan negotiations remain unresolved.Ripple funded the National Cryptocurrency Association with $50 million, while Alderoty serves as its president.　　His Aug. 7 comments responded to a Wall Street Journal editorial that referred to supporters of crypto regulation as “the crypto boys.”　　Alderoty argued that the label mischaracterizes a group of users. He cited Americans working in education, construction, health care and small business.

Instead of retrieving payload instructions from a traditional server, the script connects to a BNB Smart Chain RPC gateway and queries a smart contract previously linked to the ClearFake campaign.　　Because only the owner of the cryptocurrency wallet that deployed the contract can modify its contents, the instructions remain difficult to remove using conventional takedown or sinkholing methods.　　Microsoft said victims are shown a fake CAPTCHA asking them to verify they are human.

Anthony Scaramucci Predicts Invisible Crypto Adoption

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci believes cryptocurrency is approaching a stage where mainstream users will interact with blockchain technology without even realizing it.　　Digital Currencies　　The prominent Bitcoin advocate claims that cryptos success will depend on whether or not the underlying technology will manage to become practically invisible to customers.　　An X user claimed that normal people would never use crypto, which is rather common sentiment. In response, Scaramucci countered that ordinary users “will soon use crypto/blockchain without even realizing it.”　　Many developers see a future where crypto infrastructure quietly powers payments, identity systems, loyalty programs, tokenized assets, and so on. However, it remains to be seen whether or not crypto will be able to offer the same level of convenience.　　Mirroring internet evolution　　This concept has become increasingly popular among industry executives in recent years. Several major crypto firms have changed their focus toward improving user experience by abstracting away technical complexities. The goal is to make blockchain as seamless as internet protocols that billions of people use daily, without even a basic level of understanding of how these processes work.　　Digital Currencies　　The idea of “invisible crypto” mirrors the evolution of the internet itself. Most people today rely on technologies such as TCP/IP, HTTPS, or cloud
