🏆 Coinbase Named One of TIME's Most Influential Companies
Coinbase, a top crypto exchange in the U.S., made TIME Magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential Companies of 2025.
TIME called Coinbase a "disruptor" and praised its work pushing for better crypto laws in Washington, D.C.
It also became the first crypto company to join the S&P 500 index in May — a huge milestone that shows the growing respect for crypto in the mainstream.
🧠 Vitalik Buterin Talks About New Digital ID System
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin introduced a new idea for digital IDs called “pluralistic identity.”
This new system aims to protect user privacy while still proving identity in a fair and secure way.
Vitalik explained that while zero-knowledge (ZK) tech helps users prove who they are without revealing personal info, it can still cause problems if it forces just one identity per person, which could hurt anonymity and increase risk of control or surveillance.
💥 XRP Price Jumps After Ripple CEO’s Legal Update
XRP, the crypto linked to Ripple Labs, jumped over 3% to $2.18 after CEO Brad Garlinghouse said Ripple is dropping its legal appeal against the SEC.
He added that the SEC is also expected to drop its appeal.
This move could signal the end of a long legal fight, bringing more clarity and less fear to XRP investors.
