Welcome to the Plexus weekly roundup where we dish out the TL;DR in crypto news for noobs and short-of-time Web3 vets alike. Here were the big stories last week: SEC vs. Consensys 🏛️ The SEC have filed a lawsuit against Consensys, claiming they have been running as an unregistered broker and selling unregistered securities through MetaMask Swaps since 2020. Allegedly, they raked in over $250 million in fees without proper registration. The SEC is looking for a permanent injunction and some hefty penalties. This could shake things up for MetaMask users big time. Solana ETF Filing 🌅 Just when we thought we could catch our breath from the Ethereum ETF excitement, Solana steps in to keep the party going, as if they knew we needed a little hopium hit. VanEck and 21Shares have filed for the first spot Solana ETFs in the U.S., right after Ethereum ETFs got the green light. Kraken Founder’s Big Bet 🤑 Jesse Powell, Kraken’s founder, just threw down a $1 million bet on Trump’s campaign. Powell and other crypto bigwigs like the Winklevoss twins and Cathie Wood are backing Trump, hoping for a more crypto-friendly vibe in the White House. Powell’s got beef with the current administration’s regulatory stance, which he says is killing U.S. competitiveness in the crypto game. Solana launch Blockchain Links (Blinks) 😉 Imagine Farcaster Frames but taken to the next level. Blinks are the latest buzz in the blockchain social space, allowing users to create and share links that are embedded with blockchain data. This innovation aims to integrate blockchain technology more seamlessly into everyday social interactions, making it easier for users to share and verify information securely. What did we miss?

This week's non-tech roles...

Exciting News! We're thrilled to be partnering with Lauren Ingram and Women of Web3 to share our insights on kickstarting a career in Web3. As recruiters, we have a keen understanding of what companies seek in top talent. We've successfully placed candidates with some of the biggest names in the industry, and we've noticed common traits they all look for in new hires. Despite the rapid growth of Web3, women are still underrepresented in this space. We're passionate about changing that and helping more women break into Web3. If you're contemplating a career in Web3, join us at our evening event on July 8th at Huckletree, Oxford street! We'd love to chat and help you take the next step. 😊 Link to RSVP is here - https://lnkd.in/eaenhmxm
