Google has banned prediction market extensions from the Chrome Web Store under updated Developer Program Policies. Extensions that facilitate or enable real-money trades on predictive outcomes face enforcement starting August 1, 2026. The change adds a new distribution chokepoint for Polymarket and Kalshi just as sector volumes hit records. Why Google is Blocking Prediction Market Extensions Google announced the changes on July 1 through the Chrome for Developers blog. The company expanded its Regulated Goods and Services policy to name predictive markets as prohibited products. Non-compliant extensions risk removal after the deadline. The update reaches beyond event trading. Extensions may now collect only data strictly necessary to a disclosed single purpose. Developers must also prominently disclose every data practice and flag later changes. A separate rule bans tools built to circumven

The post Beyond The XRP & Solana Hype: Why The Smart Money In 2026 Is Eyeing Decentralized AI Like Stargate LLM appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP just landed a full EU regulatory license. Solana just posted its best weekly gain in a month. Both are proof that institutional capital keeps finding its way into established crypto infrastructure, even during a stretch when broader sentiment has been shaky. Somewhere else, a different risk is quietly building.  Developers and businesses have built entire products on centralized AI APIs, exposed to pricing changes and model deprecations they never agreed to and can’t control. One policy decision made somewhere else can reshape a business overnight. For anyone assembling a shortlist of the best crypto to buy in 2026, that’s the gap worth understanding, and it’s exactly what Stargate LLM was built to close. Your Product Runs on Someone Else’s API. Nobody Prices That Risk In. You built your product on a centralized AI provider’s API. Then

This move may accelerate institutional adoption of blockchain for transactions, potentially boosting Solana's market position and utility. The post Alvarez & Marsal accepts first USDC payment on Solana blockchain appeared first on Crypto Briefing.

The post Robinhood Chain Metrics Surge as the Network Leans Into Memecoins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pump.fun added trading for Robinhood Chain tokens and prediction market World said it will migrate from Solana, as CEO Vlad Tenev reversed course to call the RWA-focused chain ‘great for memes.’ The biggest jump in value locked, though, came from an Ethena stablecoin deposit. Robinhood Chain’s onchain activity surged this week as a memecoin frenzy, a Pump.fun integration and a defecting Solana app converged on the barely week-old network — even as its largest single inflow traced to a stablecoin deposit rather than the meme trade. Cumulative addresses on the Arbitrum-based Layer 2 climbed toward 200,000 and protocol total value locked reached roughly $234 million, according to a network overview dashboard published by Entropy Advisors on Dune. The chain went live to the public on July 1, meaning nearly all of that growth was compressed into the past week, with activity accele
