▪️DeSci movement seeks to make scientific research more open, fair, and accessible.
▪️Prominent figures like CZ, Vitalik, and Brian Armstrong are actively supporting DeSci’s goals.
▪️DeSci can improve scientific funding, democratize research, and foster greater collaboration within the scientific community.
Decentralised Science is now one of the most sensational topics in the cryptocurrency world. Its goal is to make science more open, transparent, and accessible, while solving long-standing issues such as limited funding and lack of data-sharing in the scientific community.
Some of the biggest names in crypto, including Binance Co-Founder Changpeng Zhao, Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin, and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, have publicly supported DeSci.
Let’s explore what this movement is all about.
Crypto Leaders Back DeSci
Reports show that crypto leaders like Zhao, Buterin, and Armstrong believe that DeSci has the potential to transform the scientific world by tackling challenges such as funding shortages and restricted access to research data.
Changpeng Zhao: CZ is particularly interested in solving the funding issue for science. He is looking into how blockchain technology can be used to create new ways to fund research. Blockchain’s transparency and security could open up fresh opportunities for financing scientific projects.
Vitalik Buterin: According to reports, Vitalik is keen to make the environment of scientific research more democratic in nature. He is likely to promote the usage of tools like quadratic funding and DAOs.
Brian Armstrong: Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is also a strong advocate for DeSci. Recent reports reveal that Coinbase has backed ResearchHub, a decentralized platform that encourages open sharing and collaboration in science. Armstrong’s support highlights his commitment to making scientific research more open and accessible.
Changing the Future of Science
The DeSci movement could play a major role in overcoming some of the most pressing issues in science. From funding shortages and data-sharing problems to publishing challenges, DeSci offers innovative solutions that could improve how science is conducted and shared.
With support from influential crypto leaders, DeSci has the potential to transform how scientific research is funded and shared. This is certainly something to look forward to!

TRUMP NOMINATES FORMER SEC CHAIR AS SDNY ATTORNEY
Trump nominates Jay Clayton to lead the highly influential office.
A familiar figure who enforced securities regulations against the crypto industry under the previous Trump Administration may soon find himself back in power, this time as a chief federal prosecutor.
What’s the Scoop?
Presidential Appointment:
In an announcement to Truth Social followers on November 14, President Elect Donald Trump made public his intention to nominate former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair Jay Clayton as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Key Enforcer:
Notably, the SDNY jurisdiction encompasses Manhattan; the trial district has long been one of the most active in the United States and often decides matters related to American financial institutions and the prosecution of white-collar crime.
Bankless Take:
Trump presented himself as crypto’s champion on the campaign trail, but Clayton’s appointment as U.S. Attorney for a key federal prosecutorial district has offended many within the industry.
While crypto participants remain optimistic for the impending Trump Administration embrace, Clayton’s appointment threatens to increase enforcement actions against blockchain-based issuers of unregistered security products.
This Newshound agrees with Bankless on this appointment!

US ATTORNEY’S OFFICE FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK TO PARE BACK CRYPTO-RELATED CASES: REUTERS
▪️The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York has brought a number of high-profile cases, including against former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried.
▪️The news comes a day after President-elect Donald Trump tapped Jay Clayton to lead that office.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, a prominent and powerful court that has brought numerous high-profile crypto-related cases, plans to cut back on cases related to crypto, according to one of its top prosecutors.
That doesn’t mean prosecutors there will disregard crypto cases, but fewer people will be working on them compared to 2022, Scott Hartman, co-chief of the securities and commodities fraud task force at the Manhattan Court said during a Practising Law Institute conference on Friday, according to reporting from Reuters.
“You won’t see as much crypto stuff coming out of at least the SDNY in the future,” Hartman said at the conference.
Prosecutors in Manhattan brought several high-profile cases against crypto industry players including against former FTX CEO Sam Bankman Fried and Celsius founder Alexander Mashinsky. Both firms filed for bankruptcy in 2022.
Hartman’s comments come a day after President-elect Donald Trump tapped Jay Clayton to lead that office as Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Clayton previously served as chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from 2017 to 2020 and led the agency through the initial coin offering boom of 2017-2018. During that time, his office filed several high-profile lawsuits against prominent and lowly crypto projects. Before leaving the SEC, charges were filed against Ripple.
The SEC accused the firm of raising $1.3 billion through the sale of XRP, which the agency says is an unregistered security. The case is ongoing after a New York judge gave both parties a partial win and both have filed appeals.
SDNY’s Hartman also said on Friday that SDNY knows that its “regulatory partners are very active in this space.” Both the U.S. SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission have brought numerous cases involving crypto over the years, including against FTX, Binance and other crypto entities.
