How WYDE and the $EAT Token Aim to Fund 1 Billion Meals Through Crypto

As blockchain projects increasingly search for real-world utility beyond speculation, WYDE is attempting to redefine what a crypto ecosystem can accomplish through a model it calls the “Impact Exchange.” Built around its mission-driven $EAT token, the platform combines decentralized finance, on-chain transparency, and nonprofit funding infrastructure with a long-term goal of helping fund one billion meals globally. Unlike traditional crypto projects focused purely on financial returns, WYDE routes portions of trading activity directly toward verified hunger-relief organizations through automated smart contract infrastructure. In this interview with Crypto Breaking News, WYDE Co-Founder Martin Simms discusses the origins of the Impact Exchange model, why he believes crypto and social impact can coexist sustainably, how the project’s legal structure could influence future decentralized organizations, and why infrastructure, rather than hype, is the real long-term product.

Crypto Mom to join law school, signaling end of tenure at the SEC

Hester M. Peirce, a two-term commissioner at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission who crypto insiders widely regard as “Crypto Mom,” is transitioning to academia. Regent University School of Law has announced she will join as an associate professor, effective in November, expanding the law school’s emphasis on federal litigation, securities regulation, and digital assets. Peirce’s move comes amid a broader staffing dip at the SEC and a shifting regulatory posture on crypto under the current administration. Her formal term at the agency expired in June 2025, but Commission rules allow officials to remain in office for roughly 18 months beyond term expiration if replacements have not yet been named. Regent’s notice highlights Peirce’s anticipated focus areas, signaling a push to anchor crypto policy education at a time when the regulatory landscape is under increased scrutiny from lawmakers and market participants alike. Key takeaways Academic appointment for a prominent crypto ...

SEC's Crypto Mom to Enter Law School, Signaling Regulatory Shift

Regent University School of Law announced that Hester M. Peirce, a two-term commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and a longtime figure in crypto policy, will join the faculty as an associate professor beginning in November. The appointment comes as the SEC’s leadership landscape remains unsettled and as federal regulators weigh how to realign oversight for digital assets within a changing legislative and enforcement environment. Regent’s notice situates Peirce within the law school’s expanding emphasis on federal litigation, securities regulation and digital assets. Her SEC tenure officially ended in June 2025, but commissioners may continue serving for up to about 18 months after terms expire if replacements are not named, according to the agency’s rules. Peirce first joined the SEC in January 2018, after confirmation following her nomination by President Donald Trump in December 2017. She was later confirmed for a second term in 2020. Earlier in her career, Pei...

Fairshake PAC's $20M backing shapes outcomes in three primaries

Crypto industry-backed political action committees are embedding themselves more deeply in U.S. state contests, signaling a continued push to influence policy and the political landscape ahead of the 2026 midterms. In a string of Tuesday primaries, the Fairshake PAC and its affiliates rolled out a coordinated media and outreach effort backed by the kind of industry money long cited by proponents as essential to advancing crypto-friendly legislation. The Fairshake operation, largely funded by Ripple Labs and Coinbase, poured a combined $20 million into supportive media across the Georgia, Kentucky, and Alabama races. The committees operate through vehicles such as Defend American Jobs, which backs Republican candidates, and Protect Progress, aimed at Democratic contenders deemed to be pro-crypto. The result, according to participants and public filings, was a notable showing for candidates aligned with crypto-friendly positions even as races remained tightly contested in several distric...

Ethereum at risk of drop if $2K support breaks, traders warn

Ether (ETH)is shaping up for a potentially sharper slide as a bearish continuation pattern tightens on the daily chart. A break below the lower boundary of a bear flag around $2,000 could accelerate selling, with the measured target pointing toward roughly $1,075—about a 49% decline from prevailing levels. The sequence would echo a similar breakdown seen in January, when ETH tumbled more than 41% from its highs. Beyond the chart look, the risk matrix includes potential liquidity shocks for leveraged longs and a cooler stance from large holders. If prices slip past $2,000, market data projects over $1.7 billion in long ETH liquidations across major exchanges, underscoring the fragility of bullish bets in a downward-biased setup. At the same time, holders’ behavior signals growing caution among big and mid-size players, even as ETH attempts a rebound toward the $2,400 area earlier this week. Key takeaways Bear flag target for ETH sits near $1,075, implying about a 49% drop from current l...

Bitcoin price model projects conservative $255K target by year-end

Bitcoin is roughly 40% off its October 2025 peak, but a long-range valuation framework suggests the pullback could be retraced as the market moves through a new cycle. The Bitcoin Decay Channel, a logarithmic model that tracks BTC’s secular uptrend while accounting for incremental gains each cycle, points to a broad end-of-year range—and potentially higher into 2027—despite near-term volatility. Key takeaways: Bitcoin Decay Channel projects a conservative year-end range of $90,000–$255,000, with a 2027 band extending to $128,000–$308,000. On-chain signals, notably the HODL Waves indicator, imply a possible bottom around $65,900–$70,500 if selling pressure persists. BTC’s rebound in 2024 appears to have touched the lower edge of the Decay Channel, a region historically associated with long-term support. Analysts' forecasts vary: Bernstein has emphasized a longer adoption cycle with a target near $150,000 for 2026 and a potential $200,000 peak in 2027, while other forecasters point t...

Singapore Tightens Crypto Regulation as Bsquared's Licence Revoked

Singapore’s central bank, MAS, has revoked Bsquared Technology Pte Ltd’s Major Payment Institution Licence, removing the firm’s authority to provide digital payment token services under Singapore’s Payments Services Act 2019. The suspension follows an on-site inspection that uncovered weaknesses in governance and control frameworks, including risk management practices, conflict-of-interest policies, and outsourcing oversight. The regulator also noted that Bsquared provided false or misleading information at multiple points during the license process and the subsequent review. Bsquared, which operates under the name BSQ, received the green light to offer digital payment token services roughly 16 months ago. MAS has directed Bsquared to obtain a closure certificate from its auditors confirming that all customer funds have been returned to their rightful recipients. Bsquared informed MAS that it held no outstanding customer assets. In its statement, MAS stressed that it takes a serious vi...
