Constellation Network has introduced Digital Evidence, a tamper-proof compliance solution designed for law enforcement and emergency services. The product builds on Constellation’s six years of work with the U.S. Department of Defense and its Iron SPIDR project, which secured critical mission communications. Digital Evidence will use blockchain technology to create and secure immutable records, ensuring data integrity for legal and compliance purposes. Law enforcement agencies and other organizations can use it to streamline evidence collection and reporting, reducing the time and costs associated with compliance cases. The public sector alone spends over $3.6 billion annually on compliance-related legal defense, according to a note shared with crypto.news. The system collects data from police vehicles, fire trucks, EMS systems, and other onboard devices, generating immutable records that can be presented as court-admissible evidence. Constellation is working with Panasonic to deploy the solution through its TOUGHBOOK platform, which is widely used in public safety sectors. The company is also exploring pilot use cases in AI datasets, retail analytics with Dor Technologies, and intellectual property protection. Aidan Clifford, Director of Market Solutions at Panasonic Toughbook, highlighted the collaboration’s potential benefits, stating, “Panasonic is excited to explore with Constellation new markets with Digital Evidence that will result in cost and workflow efficiencies for our customers with connected devices.” Organizations using Digital Evidence will receive a “Smart Checkmark” certification, verifying their data collection and auditing practices. Constellation is also developing integrations with business intelligence tools, indexing solutions, and AI platforms to expand Digital Evidence’s capabilities, according to the company.

President Donald Trump’s support for stablecoins may be less about blockchain innovation and more about financial engineering, according to Mateusz Kara, CEO of European crypto payments giant Ari10. The launch of USD1, a new dollar-pegged stablecoin backed by U.S. President Donald Trump and his family, may appear like another step in mainstream crypto adoption and a natural move given his open support of the industry. But for Mateusz Kara, CEO of leading European crypto payments provider Ari10, the stablecoin signals something much bigger: a U.S.-driven strategy to reshape global debt markets. “I don’t quite believe in Trump’s sudden love for stablecoin and blockchain,” Kara said in a statement sent to crypto.news. “The real purpose of strengthening the stablecoin market is to make the world a new, receptive market for U.S. bonds.” According to Kara, the mechanism is simple but powerful. To issue stablecoins like USD1, platforms will need to buy U.S. dollars and short-term treasuries. This creates a fresh, decentralized channel for global bond distribution. “It’s a new dollar expansion mechanism,” he explained. “And it will help the U.S. borrow at lower cost by boosting demand for its debt.” USD1 was launched on March 25 by World Liberty Financial, the Trump family-affiliated decentralized finance venture. The token is backed 1:1 by U.S. treasuries, cash equivalents, and deposits, and will run on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain. The initiative is already backed by over $500 million in funding and 85,000 verified users, according to CNBC . It enters a stablecoin market that has grown more than 46% in the past year, with players like Tether, Circle, PayPal, and Ripple competing for dominance. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently said stablecoins will be a key part of ensuring “the U.S. remains the dominant reserve currency.” For European markets, Kara believes the launch of USD1 should act as a warning. “Europe must strengthen its euro-based stablecoin infrastructure,” he said. “Otherwise, dollar-based stablecoins will dominate the digital financial system.” He also emphasized that regulatory progress, such as the EU’s MiCA framework , is essential to creating a safer, more competitive environment for stablecoin innovation. While recent hacks and exchange scandals have shaken investor confidence, Kara believes regulation can offer the security and transparency needed to restore trust. Ultimately, USD1 may be less about crypto utility and more about soft power. By integrating dollar-backed stablecoins into the global financial system, the U.S. could create a new channel for distributing its debt, one that bypasses traditional banking and extends the reach of the dollar in a programmable, borderless form. Whether Europe will rise to the challenge, Kara warns, depends on how quickly it moves. “Stablecoins are no longer just about crypto,” he said. “They’re becoming tools of global monetary strategy.”
