Kraken Resumes Staking Services for US Clients After SEC Settlement

Friday. January 31 at 11:00 AM

Kraken, a crypto exchange, has restarted staking services for US customers after nearly two years. Staking was halted in 2023 due to a multimillion-dollar settlement with the SEC. Customers in 37 states can now stake 17 digital assets, including Ether, Solana, and Cardano. Kraken was one of the first exchanges to offer staking in 2019 but ceased in 2023 as part of the settlement. The return of staking signals a better regulatory environment under new SEC leadership. The SEC had accused Kraken of violating securities laws by not registering its staking service and providing inadequate risk disclosure. Despite settling, the SEC later sued Kraken for operating as an unregistered securities broker. Judge Orrick dismissed Kraken's defense against SEC regulation but allowed for it to be raised later in the lawsuit. The legal battle between Kraken and the SEC continues.

Enhancing Self-Custodial Wallet Security with Tangem's Backup Technology

Thursday. January 30 at 7:00 PM

Tangem, a self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet, has been granted a US patent for its private key backup technology. The patent, issued by the US Patent and Trademark Office on Jan. 28, focuses on secure private key transfers between Tangem's wallet hardware and devices like smartphones. This technology aims to improve the security and usability of self-custodial wallets by enabling secure private key exchanges. By allowing users to store crypto assets independently, self-custody eliminates the need for third-party involvement. Tangem's patented tech features seedless backup processes, end-to-end encryption, and tamper-proof authentication. The technology utilizes cryptographic techniques like Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman for private key exchange. Despite past skepticism in the community, Tangem's backup tech offers a simplified self-custody process. The company's approach of transmitting private keys as secret data between trusted devices via an untrusted intermediary device ensures enhanced security for users.
