Incredibly, Ethereum is now 10 years old!  All great things require time to mature, and, amazingly, it took a decade for an RPC option like D_D Cloud to emerge.

We're putting the final touches on the first-ever hybrid cloud built for web3, and it’s almost showtime. Want front-row seats when the doors open?

MetaMask Launches Polymarket Integration

MetaMask now integrates Polymarket directly, letting users bet on real-world events, politics, sports, crypto, and more, straight from the mobile wallet. Trades remain fully self-custodial, and you earn 2 MetaMask Rewards points for every $1 wagered.

The catch: bets placed through MetaMask incur a 4% fee (split evenly between MetaMask and Polymarket), while placing bets directly through Polymarket remains free. With Polymarket hitting a record $4.3B in volume in November and expanding in the U.S., prediction markets are now accessible to millions of wallet users with one-tap access.

Polymarket Users Suspect Insider Trading After Google Trend Markets Crown Surprise Winner

Polymarket’s hotly followed “#1 Searched Person on Google in 2025” market ended in a massive upset yesterday, with little-known artist d4vd crowned the winner despite odds as low as 0.2% just days earlier. One sharp wallet, 0xafEe (formerly AlphaRacoon), cleaned up over $1.15 million by correctly betting “Yes” on d4vd and “No” on heavy favorites like Pope Leo XIV, Bianca Censori, Donald Trump, and others.

Suspicion is running high: many users are crying insider trading, pointing to 0xafEe’s perfect streak across Google Trends bets and a prior $100K+ Gemini win. The debate is heating up, some call it toxic flow that drains retail, while others say insider action is a feature, not a bug, sharpening Polymarket’s probabilities. As the platform grows, unregulated crypto betting remains a perfect playground for those with an edge.

US wants Do Kwon in jail for no less than 12 years

US prosecutors are gunning hard for Do Kwon, pushing a judge to lock him up for at least 12 years over the Terra/Luna collapse that vaporized billions in crypto. In a fiery filing, attorney Jay Clayton slammed Kwon's "colossal" fraud as a masterclass in deception that is riddled with lies, evasion, and zero accountability, insisting the sheer scale of investor carnage demands a stiff penalty. This comes hot on the heels of Kwon's team begging for just five years, citing his three brutal years in Montenegrin custody, a looming 40-year South Korean trial, and a $19M forfeiture already on the table.

Kwon’s defense calls the 12-year ask "far greater than necessary," but prosecutors fired back that he's downplaying his role while hyping uncertain foreign outcomes to dodge real heat. No excuses for the half-truths or blame-shifting to firms, lawyers, or regulators, they say, full accountability is non-negotiable. With sentencing set for December 11, the web3 world watches as Terra's fallen king faces his US reckoning, a stark reminder that on-chain empires built on smoke can end in federal steel bars.

Western Union Reveals ‘Stable Card’ amid On-Chain Push

Western Union is leveling up its stablecoin game with a new “Stable Card” designed for high-inflation hotspots like Argentina. The dollar-backed prepaid card lets recipients lock in value the moment remittances hit, no more watching $500 shrink to $300 in a month thanks to 250%+ inflation. CFO Matthew Cagwin says it’s a sticky upgrade to their existing U.S. prepaid offering and a key piece of WU’s broader on-chain push.

The move ties into Western Union’s Solana-based USDPT stablecoin (dropping H1 2026 via Anchorage Digital) and its Rain partnership for stablecoin-to-cash payouts. With four on/off-ramp partners already live on its Digital Asset Network, WU is shifting half a billion dollars daily away from slow correspondent banking toward instant, on-chain flows. TradFi’s remittance king is going full crypto-mode.
