Blockchain

Filtered to Controversies ×
66 articles stable

In 2025, coverage moved from wallet and exchange product launches toward U.S. crypto policy, stablecoins and public-sector blockchain publishing.

Who they are

Blockchain appears in the coverage as a crypto wallet and trading platform that expanded around payments, exchange access and asset custody. Its earlier story set includes integrating BitPay payment infrastructure, launching the London-based PIT exchange, adding Ethereum support with Bitstamp, and introducing the Ledger-backed Lockbox hardware wallet.

The recent arc

The strongest recent attention concentrates in 2025, when blockchain-related coverage became less about Blockchain’s own consumer products and more about the crypto assets and infrastructure surrounding U.S. policy. President Trump’s proposed strategic reserve named Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana and Cardano; World Liberty Financial then unveiled the USD1 stablecoin on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain.

The tension

Coverage circles the gap between blockchain’s original product promise—payments, self-custody and faster settlement, reflected in BitPay, Ledger and Thunder—and its increasingly political and institutional role. Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana are now tied to reserve-policy discussions and U.S. GDP publication, while stablecoin activity links the technology to Trump-associated World Liberty Financial rather than solely to independent crypto platforms.

Why it matters

If this trajectory persists, blockchain coverage will be shaped increasingly by whether public institutions and regulated financial products can turn decentralized-network infrastructure into durable operational rails. That would raise the importance of security, custody and governance alongside adoption: the BigONE hot-wallet hack shows that expanded use does not remove the risks that earlier wallet and trading products were built to manage.

Blockchain has appeared in 66 articles since 2015-12. Coverage peaked in 2025Q1 with 3 articles. Frequently mentioned alongside Trump, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Libra.
