The post CFTC vacancies snag US crypto bill as global rivals advance appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A shortage of staff at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has stalled the Senate’s efforts regarding the Clarity Act, a delay the proponents fear could allow the rest of the world to dictate rules for the crypto industry worth about $2.2 trillion. In the case of crypto trading firms with a presence across different jurisdictions, the issue is about governance. The Clarity Act indicates that the CFTC would oversee the spot trading of digital commodities. Yet while this agency’s role is supposed to regulate this market, it currently has just one commissioner instead of five – Michael Selig, a Republican. The White House and Senate Democrats were arguing on Thursday, blaming each other for keeping the other four seats vacant. Selig has been upfront about the stakes involved. In a recent interview with Fox Business, Selig stated that if Congress does not take action, there

The post Here’s why Uniswap is betting on execution over higher LP incentives appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Competition among decentralized exchanges is increasingly forcing protocols to rethink the incentives that originally fueled DeFi’s rapid expansion. In fact, Uniswap [UNI] has become the latest to test that transition after proposing a reduction of up to 33% in V4 liquidity provider fee incentives.  More importantly, Uniswap’s TVL stood at $3.02 billion while its monthly volume hovered near $36 billion at press time. This hinted at strong market leadership, despite intensifying competition from rival decentralized exchanges. Source: DeFILlama The proposal marks a clear departure from previous models. The V3 model used much higher percentages of each trade to incentivize early liquidity providers to quickly capitalize on its platform. Instead, the protocol believes that a lower cost of trading, tighter spreads, and better capital usage will result in a sufficient increase i
