New York Representative Ritchie Torres had an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph to discuss why retail investors are still at risk following the XRP court ruling. On July 13, 2023, United States District Court Judge Analisa Torres ruled that Ripple’s XRP (XRP) token should not be considered a security when sold on retail digital asset exchanges. Stuart Alderoty, chief legal officer at Ripple, told Cointelegraph that last week’s ruling makes it clear that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) theory that a token can be an investment contract and, therefore, a security, no longer has support in the law. He said of the ruling: “That is not only a huge win for Ripple, but it’s a win for all of crypto in the United States. The SEC can no longer tout their record in crypto, which was, up till now, by and large, settlements with players that didn’t have the resources to fight back.” While this may be, New York Representative Ritchie Torres told Cointelegraph that the Ripple...

Decentralized solutions can make academic research more secure and more accessible. Academic institutions house some of the world’s most important data generated from years of research. Yet centralized data storage models are becoming a concern for many universities looking to keep critical information safe and accessible.  Danny O’Brien, a senior fellow at the Filecoin Foundation and Filecoin Foundation for the Decentralized Web (FFDW) — an independent organization that facilitates governance of the Filecoin network and funds development projects — told Cointelegraph that data stored by academic institutions is at risk of vanishing due to centralized storage models. To put this in perspective, a recent Filecoin Foundation survey found that 71% of Americans have lost information and records due to challenges like deleted hyperlinks or locked online accounts. Decentralized storage helps secure and distribute data To combat this, O’Brien explained that a handful of educational institu...

Discover how memecoins evolve as they integrate new functionalities and AI tech. At launch, Dogecoin (DOGE) creators Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer were likely unaware that their joke would lead to one of the largest Cryptocurrencies by market cap. Moreover, no one could have expected that their brainchild would trigger an entire sector of memecoin s — Cryptocurrencies inspired by internet memes and jokes. While most memecoins don’t have specific use cases or underlying utility, crypto enthusiasts still appreciate them for the fun aspect and their ability to show a lower correlation to the rest of the crypto market.
