JPMorgan Files For JPMD Trademark

In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, JPMorgan Chase has filed a trademark application for “JPMD.” Speculations are swirling that they might be launching a stablecoin! The application was filed on June 15, describing JPMD as a service for “trading, exchange, transfer, and payment services for digital assets.” But shhh! The bank hasn’t said a peep about it yet. 🤫

As stablecoins gain traction faster than a cat on a hot tin roof, big names like Meta, Apple, and Google are exploring stablecoin integration. Even Fidelity is getting in on the action! It’s like a tech party, and everyone’s invited! 🎉

Paradigm Files Amicus Brief In Support of Tornado Cash Co-Founder

Venture capital firm Paradigm is throwing its hat in the ring, filing an amicus brief in support of Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm. They argue that the jury needs to understand what it really means to operate a money-transmitting business. It’s like explaining the rules of Monopoly to a toddler! 🧸

According to Paradigm’s legal eagles, the prosecution’s argument is “contrary to the plain text of the law.” They’re basically saying, “Hey, don’t mess with the law, buddy!” ⚖️

“Allowing this charge to persist risks letting unelected prosecutors change the plain meaning of criminal statutes—and threaten everyday citizens with imprisonment even if they are following widely disseminated and accepted regulatory guidance.”

Biber and Moon believe a guilty verdict could stifle innovation faster than a cat can knock over a glass of water. It could have a ripple effect on open source, AI, and tech communities. Yikes! 😱
