In a significant development for the crypto market, several projects have recently secured substantial investments. Lighter leads the pack, having raised $68 million in its latest funding round.

Next in line is Cypherpunk, which raised funds amounting to $58.9 million. The project is headed by Winklevoss Capital, and it aims at enhancing privacy solutions. Cypherpunk is a leading player in the industry because privacy and decentralized technologies are in high demand.

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected

The post Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talks to reporters following the regular Federal Open Market Committee meetings at the Fed on July 30, 2025 in Washington, DC.

The central bank has two policy meetings left for the year, one in October and one in December. Economic projections from the Fed saw slightly faster economic growth in 2026 than was projected in June, while the outlook for inflation was updated modestly higher for next year.

Arizona Senator Proposes Exempting Bitcoin and Crypto from Taxes

Understanding the specific tax exemption proposal's scope, mechanics, and limitations provides foundation for evaluating feasibility and implications. The exemption presumably covers capital gains taxes on cryptocurrency appreciation at state level, though personal income tax and corporate tax treatment requires clarification.
