House report documents Biden-era “Operation Choke Point 2.0” crypto debanking

The House Republicans have released a comprehensive report accusing Biden Administration regulators of engaging in a practice known as "Operation Choke Point 2.0."

According to the 51-page report, this resulted in at least 30 digital asset entities and individuals, including prominent names such as Coinbase, Uniswap, Ripple, and Gemini, losing access to banking services between 2022 and 2024. Notably, Anchorage Digital was compelled to lay off 20% of its workforce in 2023 due to the loss of banking access.

Market wipeout drags XRP lower: Here’s why a bounce to $2.2 is important

L2s appear to have beaten Ethereum: So why is ETH still a Billion-dollar bet?

Ethereum (ETH) remains the foundational layer of the Web3 space; however, the bulk of the ecosystem's transactional activity has shifted to Layer-2 (L2) networks. New data shows that these L2 networks, which include Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism, are now processing the majority of total transactions. Smaller rollups like Linea, Scroll, and zkSync account for only a small fraction of the total transaction volume. Layer-2 solutions have emerged as a popular choice among users, thanks to their ability to offer cheaper and faster transactions compared to Ethereum's mainnet.
