0xbow Brings Back Tornado Cash

@0xbowio announced the return of Tornado Cash, a privacy-focused protocol, following their Privacy Pools launch. Users can now leverage Tornado Cash to support @coincenter, a leading crypto advocacy group. This comes after 0xbow’s mainnet launch of Privacy Pools, which uses zero-knowledge proofs to enable private ERC-20 transfers while screening for illicit funds. Head over to their platform to explore this revived privacy tool.

Circle Files for IPO

Stablecoin giant @circle has filed an S-1 application with the SEC, marking a significant step toward its Initial Public Offering (IPO). Circle plans to trade on the NYSE under the ticker "CRCL," though share count and pricing details are yet to be disclosed. This move, long in the making, could further legitimize stablecoins in traditional finance.

Takes of the Day

• Luke Youngblood on Tokenization
  

  @LukeYoungblood shared a bold vision: “Everything in the global financial markets will be tokenized.” He predicts that once stablecoin and market structure bills pass Congress, the “crypto economy” will simply become “the economy”—and it’s all happening on Ethereum and the Superchain. A glimpse into the future of finance?

• Brian Armstrong on Stablecoin Legislation

  
  Coinbase CEO @brian_armstrong via @WuBlockchain emphasized the need for U.S. stablecoin laws to allow interest payments to holders. He argues that the tech exists to pay interest directly from reserve assets, but legal frameworks lag behind, as stablecoins lack exemptions that securities laws grant for interest payments. A call for regulatory evolution!
