Top US-based crypto exchange platform Coinbase is abruptly adding support for one decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocol built on Ethereum (ETH) and Base. In a new announcement, Coinbase says it’s adding support for borrowing and lending project Morpho (MORPHO), causing the digital asset to rise in price. News of the addition sent MORPHO flying as the crypto asset went from a low of $2.05 on February 27th to a peak of $2.42 just a day later. MORPHO has since stabilized and is trading for $2.21 at time of writing, a 7.9% gain during the last 24 hours.

For example, some oracles can provide frequent and accurate price updates, but they...

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said that meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are not securities, marking a landmark regulatory shift for the crypto industry. The agency’s decision, outlined in a Feb. 27 statement, says meme coins are “akin to collectibles” rather than financial instruments subject to securities laws. “A meme coin is not itself a security,” the regulator said in a statement. ”Meme coins typically are purchased for entertainment, social interaction, and cultural purposes, and their value is driven primarily by market demand and speculation. In this regard, meme coins are akin to collectibles. Meme coins also typically have limited or no use or functionality.” The SEC’s guidance highlights a broader shift in US crypto regulation under the pro-crypto Trump administration, marking a departure from the regulation-by-enforcement approach of former chair Gary Gensler. “This is HUGE,” said The Ko...

Wealthy crypto executives are reportedly scrambling to hire security services after Ledger CEO David Balland was abducted and mutilated over a €10 million ($10.5 million) crypto ransom. That’s according to a report from WIRED which spoke to Adam Healy, a former marine running a crypto-cybersecurity company. Healy claims that demand for these services has grown “considerably.” “Like any human emotion, fear is a significant motivator… The headlines certainly mobilize a lot of that concern,” he said. The report also highlights that hiring bodyguards today is less about flashy displays of wealth. Westminster Security’s Managing Director John Moore says that in 2013, after bitcoin’s surge, excessive security was performative. Now he claims, “ The Bitcoin Boys have grown up .
