His proposed measures include closing tax loopholes, overhauling Social Security, and restructuring healthcare spending โ€“ a scope that signals Paulson views the fiscal trajectory as a structural problem, not a cyclical one. US national debt stood…

Tempo Zones Feature Sparks Privacy Debate Among Enterprise Blockchain Builders

Terrill Dicki Apr 17, 2026 11:57 Tempo’s new Zones feature promises enterprise privacy on public stablecoin rails, but critics warn it reintroduces centralized trust assumptions. Tempo’s new “Zones” feature is drawing fire from privacy engineers who say the enterprise-focused design trades cryptographic guarantees for old-school trust assumptionsโ€”essentially recreating the exchange model on blockchain rails. The payments-focused layer-1, backed by Stripe and Paradigm, announced Thursday that Zones will let companies run transactions in permissioned environments while accessing public blockchain liquidity. The feature targets…

Tempoโ€™s โ€˜Zonesโ€™ Promise Privacy But Raise Trust Concerns

boss

Tempo unveiled a new โ€œZonesโ€ feature Thursday aimed at giving enterprises bank-style privacy on public stablecoin rails, but not everyone in crypto is convinced the trade-offs are worth it. The payments-focused layer-1, co-developed with backing from Stripe and Paradigm, said Zones will let companies run transactions in permissioned environments while still tapping public blockchain liquidity. The pitch targets a long-standing issue for institutions: sensitive data like payroll, merchant volumes or treasury activity being exposed on public ledgers. Some privacy-focused developers argue that the design sacrifices too much. Because each Zone…

Bitcoin Breaks Above $75K, But Bears Refuse To Blink

boss

Bitcoin has reclaimed and held above the $75,000 region after the latest rebound, but derivatives data shows the recovery lacks broad conviction. Bitcoin In The Middle Of A Credibility Problem Bloomberg claims Bitcoin has a credibility problem right now. Funding rates on perpetual futures have stayed negative for around a month and a half, meaning leveraged traders are still paying to stay short even as spot grinds higher. This divide ranks among the largest this year between spot price action and how derivatives traders are positioned. Bitcoin has climbed about…

boss

Tokenization does not automatically make hard-to-trade assets liquid, industry executives said at Paris Blockchain Week, pushing back on the idea that putting private credit, real estate or other illiquid products onchain will by itself create active secondary markets. Speaking during a panel moderated by Cointelegraph CEO Yana Prikhodchenko, Oya Celiktemur, Ondo Finance sales director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), said there is still a misconception that tokenizing illiquid assets can make them easier to trade. โ€œI think thereโ€™s still this idea that tokenizing something illiquid will somehow…
