Tether’s MiningOS Gives Bitcoin Miners An Open Source Control Center

MegaETH has launched its public mainnet as a high speed Ethereum layer 2 that targets more than 100,000 transactions per second with near instant confirmations, after a global stress test processed over 10.3 billion transactions in a week at 10,000 to 22,000 transactions per second. Backed by a 20 million dollar seed round and a 450 million dollar token sale in 2025 that sold about 5 percent of its 10 billion MEGA supply with support from figures like Vitalik Buterin and Joseph Lubin, the project uses powerful data center style sequencers and specialized node roles to chase ultra low latency at the cost of higher hardware requirements and a looser decentralization profile. Its debut comes just as Vitalik questions the old rollup centric roadmap and calls for L2s to justify themselves with real advantages such as privacy or extreme performance, which supporters say MegaETH delivers, while critics warn that its success will hinge on sustaining promised throughput in production without worsening liquidity fragmentation across Ethereum’s already crowded scaling landscape.

Strategy Moves First On Quantum Risk With New Bitcoin Security Program

Strategy, one of the largest corporate holders of bitcoin, is launching a dedicated Bitcoin Security Program to prepare for long term risks from quantum computing by funding research, tools and potential upgrade paths for quantum resistant cryptography. Michael Saylor says the firm will coordinate with global cybersecurity and bitcoin security communities to map which coins are most exposed, explore alternative signature schemes and outline practical migration options, while stressing that serious quantum attacks are still likely many years away and that the goal is calm preparation rather than rushed protocol changes.

Bitcoin Breaks Below 70,000 Dollars On Bitstamp As Fear Grips Crypto And Metals

Bitcoin fell below 70,000 dollars on Bitstamp, hitting about 69,100 dollars in one of the cycle’s weakest moments, with sentiment gauges sliding into “extreme fear” as the broader market continued a downtrend from the October peak near 126,000 dollars. The selloff was heavier on Bitstamp than on other venues like Coinbase, suggesting concentrated selling there, while gold and silver also dropped sharply even as U.S. equity futures ticked slightly higher, showing that the stress is focused on crypto and metals rather than all risk assets. Bitcoin exposed stocks such as Strategy, other treasury style holders, exchanges and major miners extended their declines, many already far below prior highs. Analysts now warn that price could drift toward the 60,000 dollar area before a durable bottom forms, as the market still looks to be searching for support rather than stabilizing.

Vitalik Buterin Questions Ethereum’s Rollup Roadmap And Puts Layer 2s On Notice

Vitalik Buterin said Ethereum’s original “rollup centric” roadmap no longer matches reality, because the base layer has become faster and cheaper than expected while most layer 2 rollups have not decentralized as promised and still depend on centralized sequencers and multisig control. He is now treating his rollup stage framework as a legitimacy test, arguing that Stage 1 decentralization with live, permissionless proofs and limited governance overrides should be the minimum bar for any L2 that wants to be seen as core Ethereum infrastructure. His comments have pushed rollup teams like Arbitrum, Optimism, Base and Starknet to defend and clarify their roadmaps, while analysts warn that many generic L2 tokens look less certain if their networks cannot prove real trust minimization. The message to builders and investors is that L2s are not dead, but only those that achieve strong decentralization and clear reasons to exist beyond cheap blockspace are likely to be treated as part of Ethereum’s long term backbone.

Crypto Crime Turns Physical As “Wrench Attacks” Surge Worldwide

A new CertiK report says “wrench attacks” on crypto holders jumped 75% in 2025, with at least 72 verified cases where criminals used threats, home invasions, kidnappings or assaults to force victims to unlock wallets or hand over seed phrases, causing more than 40 million dollars in confirmed losses. Europe is now the main hotspot, accounting for over 40% of incidents, with France alone logging 19 cases as organized groups increasingly track on-chain identities and social media to target wealthy holders. The report calls this a “technical paradox,” where stronger digital security pushes criminals toward physical coercion, and notes that even Lloyd’s of London now offers insurance that explicitly covers such attacks, highlighting that personal privacy and physical safety are now core parts of crypto security, not just passwords and cold storage.

U.S. Targets Iran-Linked Crypto Exchanges in First-of-Its-Kind Sanctions

The U.S. Treasury has, for the first time, sanctioned entire crypto exchanges under its Iran program, blacklisting U.K. registered platforms Zedcex and Zedxion for operating in Iran’s financial sector and helping move about 1 billion dollars in stablecoins, mainly USDT on Tron, for entities linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The action also freezes associated wallets and cuts the exchanges off from compliant banks and service providers, and targets a network tied to Iranian businessman Babak Morteza Zanjani, long accused of aiding sanctions evasion. Officials say this is part of a broader effort to crack down on Iran’s shadow banking channels and sends a clear warning to the wider industry that platforms which facilitate high risk Iranian flows risk not just fines, but being fully severed from the dollar and global financial system.

Bitcoin Slides To 81K As Liquidations And Fed Jitters Rattle Traders

Bitcoin plunged to around 81,000 dollars in one of its worst days of the year, wiping almost 10,000 dollars off the price in hours and triggering about 777 million dollars in long liquidations that deepened the drop. The selloff came as traders reacted to shifting odds that a more hawkish candidate, Kevin Warsh, could become the next Federal Reserve chair, which hurt hopes for easier policy and pushed investors toward gold and silver. Technical indicators like the daily RSI slipped below the neutral zone and trend signals turned negative, with analysts now watching to see if bitcoin can quickly reclaim the high 80,000s or risk another leg lower.

America’s Report Card On Becoming The World’s Crypto Capital

A group of crypto lawyers revisited the open letter they sent President Trump a year ago about how to make the United States the world’s crypto capital and issued a new “report card,” concluding that the goal now looks realistically achievable if current progress continues. They give the U.S. an A- for supporting companies, citing a friendlier tone from key agencies, active White House engagement and movement on a Senate Agriculture Committee market structure bill. The grades drop to a B and B+ for the overall business environment and alignment with core crypto values, since enforcement remains patchy and key legislation on market structure and stablecoins is still pending. The authors argue that while the work is unfinished, clearer roles for the CFTC, better definitions of which assets are commodities and growing awareness in Congress of the risks of overregulation mean America is closer than ever to genuine crypto leadership, as long as lawmakers can lock in durable rules without undermining decentralization and open access.

ERC 8004 Puts A Trust Layer Behind Ethereum’s AI Agents

ERC 8004 is a new Ethereum standard that gives AI agents a persistent on chain identity and reputation, using three registries for identity, reputation and validation so that agents can prove who they are and how they have behaved across apps and networks. Instead of leaving this data inside closed platforms, ERC 8004 keeps it on a neutral blockchain where any framework can read it, which supporters see as the basis for an open agent economy. The standard is already being implemented on networks like Polygon and combined with payment rails such as Coinbase’s x402 so agents can both transact and be held accountable on chain, with tools like 8004scan tracking thousands of registered agents. Analysts say this positions Ethereum and its companion networks as a trust layer for autonomous software, even though ETH’s price has not reacted strongly and still trades around three thousand dollars.

Silver Futures Near 1 Billion Dollars In Volume On Hyperliquid As Bitcoin Stalls

Silver perpetual futures on Hyperliquid are now trading close to 1 billion dollars in daily volume at around 110 dollars per unit, putting the SILVER USDC contract behind only bitcoin and ether pairs on the platform and ahead of big altcoin markets like solana and XRP, with slightly negative funding that signals two way positioning rather than a one sided squeeze. Bitcoin, meanwhile, is stuck in a tight range near 88,000 dollars, with weak ETF flows and options markets showing more interest in downside protection than aggressive upside bets. The shift reflects a broader move into hard assets as gold and silver rip to new highs, and shows how crypto native venues are turning into multi asset derivatives hubs where traders increasingly use on chain infrastructure to express macro views on metals while BTC trades in a defensive equilibrium.

BitMine Steps Up Ether Accumulation With Largest Purchase Of 2026

BitMine Immersion Technologies, the largest corporate holder of ether, has made its biggest ETH buy of 2026, purchasing 40,302 ETH for about 116–117 million dollars and lifting its stash above 4.24 million ETH, or roughly 3.5% of total supply. After shareholders approved an increase in authorized shares, the company resumed aggressive accumulation funded via equity issuance, with total crypto and cash reserves now around 12.8 billion dollars and more than 2 million ETH already staked to earn yield. BitMine’s rapid validator growth has helped lengthen Ethereum’s entry queue, and management says it expects hundreds of millions in annual staking income as it continues to pursue a long term goal of controlling about 5% of all ETH in circulation.

Gold Charges Toward 5,000 Dollars As Silver Races Up To 100

Gold is trading just below 5,000 dollars an ounce and silver is closing in on 100 dollars after a powerful rally driven by geopolitical tension, inflation worries and fading confidence in major fiat currencies, with central banks and investors steadily adding to their holdings while banks now see a path for gold to potentially move beyond 6,000 dollars later in 2026. Silver has moved even faster thanks to heavy industrial demand from solar panels, electric vehicles and electronics on top of safe haven flows, which helps explain why it has more than doubled from 2025 levels. The surge in both metals contrasts with bitcoin, which is still stuck well below its peak and trading mostly sideways, leading some macro investors to question its “digital gold” role in this cycle. Analysts warn that sharp pullbacks are still possible after such big moves, but expect most dips to be treated as new entry points rather than the end of the broader metals bull run.

JPMorgan Says Ethereum’s Fusaka Boost May Be Short Lived

JPMorgan says Ethereum’s recent Fusaka upgrade, which raised blob data capacity, cut fees and briefly boosted transactions and active addresses, is a meaningful technical improvement but likely a short lived bump rather than the start of a structural revival, as more activity and revenue continue to migrate to layer 2s like Base, Arbitrum and Optimism, rival chains such as Solana, and app specific networks from projects like Uniswap and dYdX, all of which dilute mainnet fee burning, increase ETH net supply and keep total value locked under pressure in ETH terms.

Bitcoin Rebounds Toward 90K As Traders Watch Trump’s Davos Appearance

Bitcoin rebounded toward 90,000 dollars after a sharp drop earlier in the week that triggered about 1.8 billion dollars in mostly long liquidations and roughly 766 million dollars of outflows from spot crypto ETFs, including 483 million dollars from bitcoin products alone. The recovery came as stress in Japanese bond markets eased and traders shifted focus to President Trump’s upcoming Davos speech, which could influence risk sentiment after recent tariff and geopolitical worries. Ether, Solana, Cardano and XRP also stabilized with modest gains, while gold and silver held near record highs, underscoring that investors still favor traditional havens and that bitcoin is trading more like a high beta risk asset than a safe haven as markets wait for Trump’s comments and the next macro signal.

Tokenized Gold Trading Overtakes Most ETFs As Bullion Charges Toward 5K

Tokenized gold products such as PAXG and XAUT generated around 178 billion dollars of trading volume in 2025, surpassing every major gold ETF except the largest while the value of gold-backed tokens climbed above 5.5 billion dollars as bullion itself surged toward 5,000 dollars per ounce after a gain of about 90 percent in a year and roughly 22 percent in January alone. These tokens represent claims on vaulted physical bars but can be split into tiny units, moved between wallets in minutes and used as collateral in DeFi, which gives gold the familiar safe haven profile with much more flexibility than traditional ETFs. Their rapid growth is turning tokenized bullion into one of the clearest real world asset success stories on chain and suggests that a meaningful slice of metals trading is starting to migrate to blockchain infrastructure rather than staying only in legacy markets.

January 20, 2026

Ethereum Transactions Hit New Record As Staking Exits Go Quiet

Ethereum just recorded its busiest day ever on 16 January 2026 with about 2.89 million transactions, yet fees stayed low thanks to recent upgrades and heavy use of layer 2 rollups that handle most execution while the main chain focuses on settlement; at the same time, the validator exit queue has fallen to zero, so stakers can leave almost instantly even as entry queues for new validators remain long, which means there is no visible overhang of stakers waiting to unlock and sell while on-chain activity from DeFi, stablecoins, NFTs and newer apps continues to climb.

Liquidity, Not Volatility, Is Crypto’s Biggest Roadblock, Auros Executive Says

Auros executive Jason Atkins says crypto’s biggest problem now is not volatility but a lack of real liquidity, with order books too thin within 1% of the mid price to handle true Wall Street sized trades. He argues that repeated deleveraging shocks, including the October 10, 2025 wipeout where exchanges auto-deleveraged more than 2 billion dollars of positions, have driven market makers out, widened spreads and made large trades destabilizing. This creates a vicious circle where thin depth makes volatility look worse in risk models, institutions cut exposure, and even fewer firms provide liquidity. Atkins says the market needs stronger market making infrastructure and better-designed derivatives and liquidation rules before it can genuinely absorb large institutional inflows.

More First-Time Users Flood Into Ethereum As Network Activity Hits Records

New data shows a sharp rise in first time Ethereum users, with Glassnode reporting that recently active wallets roughly doubled in a month from just over 4 million to around 8 million, while daily active addresses have climbed from about 410,000 a year ago to more than 1 million and transactions hit a record near 2.8 million in a single day. The jump is driven by DeFi, record stablecoin transfers, NFTs and new consumer style apps, helped by lower fees as more activity moves to layer 2 rollups. At the same time, staked ETH has grown to nearly 36 million coins, meaning a larger long term holder base is growing alongside this influx of newcomers rather than crowding them out, suggesting Ethereum’s momentum is being powered by deeper real usage, not just price speculation.

Goldman Sachs Flags Tokenization And Prediction Markets As Its Next Crypto Frontiers

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said the bank sees its main crypto opportunities in infrastructure, asset tokenization and regulated prediction markets, focusing on using blockchains to modernize existing businesses rather than launch retail tokens. The bank is exploring tokenized securities and deposits for faster settlement and capital efficiency, stablecoin based payments, and CFTC supervised prediction markets that could plug into its derivatives and trading stack. Solomon stressed this will be a multi year build driven by regulation and client demand, aligning Goldman with a broader Wall Street shift toward on chain versions of traditional assets and more institutional grade prediction markets.

Bitcoin Breaks Above 95K As Ether, Solana And Cardano Jump On Softer Inflation

Bitcoin jumped more than 4% to break above 95,000 dollars as risk appetite returned on softer inflation data and falling bond yields, while ether, Solana and Cardano each climbed around 7–9%, bouncing cleanly from support levels. The macro backdrop of cooling inflation and lower real yields helped pull fresh liquidity into crypto, and a wave of short liquidations in leveraged futures added extra buy pressure as prices pushed higher. Overall, the move looks like a sharp repricing of risk after a choppy rangebound period rather than a full melt up, with total crypto market cap pushing further above 3 trillion dollars.

January 14, 2026

Bitcoin And Ether Options Point To A Quieter Start For 2026

Options and futures data show bitcoin and ether traders are bracing for a relatively calm start to 2026, with one month implied volatility drifting lower as BTC holds around the low 90,000 dollar area and ETH trades just above 3,000 dollars. Demand for far out of the money calls has cooled, interest is shifting toward income strategies that profit from sideways markets, and put buying points to measured hedging rather than crash fear. Leverage in perpetual swaps remains moderate, funding rates are close to neutral, and positioning is spread across longer maturities. With markets still digesting uncertain Fed cut timing and other assets like stocks and gold near record highs, crypto traders appear content to stay long but hedged and to bet on consolidation instead of another round of wild swings.

India’s FIU Cracks Down On Anonymous Crypto With Live KYC And Geo Tracking

India’s Financial Intelligence Unit has introduced tougher rules for crypto exchanges to fight money laundering and terror financing, requiring “liveness” KYC with blinking selfie videos, detailed geo location and IP logging, extra ID documents and verified bank accounts tied to each user. Platforms must run enhanced due diligence every six months on higher risk clients, file suspicious transaction reports, keep records for at least five years and stay registered with the FIU. The guidance also tells exchanges to avoid privacy mixers and ICO style token sales, which regulators say carry complex laundering and terror risks. The new regime effectively ends anonymous trading on compliant Indian platforms and pushes the industry toward bank style surveillance standards in order to remain inside the formal financial system.

Vitalik Buterin Says Decentralized Stablecoins Still Have Serious Weak Spots

Vitalik Buterin warned that most so called decentralized stablecoins still have deep structural flaws, from being pegged only to the US dollar which loses real value over decades, to heavy dependence on oracles that can be corrupted if attackers gain enough capital or governance control. He also pointed to tension between using staked ETH as collateral and offering attractive yields without adding hidden risk, since slashing and downtime can hit the backing assets. His message is that if crypto wants truly durable, censorship resistant money, future stablecoins must solve these issues around pegs, oracles and yield mechanics instead of relying on optimistic assumptions that only work in good market conditions.

Trump Rules Out Pardon For Sam Bankman-Fried

President Donald Trump said in a New York Times interview that he has no plans to pardon Sam Bankman-Fried, the former FTX CEO serving a 25 year sentence for fraud and conspiracy over the exchange’s collapse, despite previously granting clemency to other crypto linked figures like Ross Ulbricht and Changpeng Zhao, signaling that support for the broader digital asset industry will not extend to rescuing its most notorious offender.

Bitcoin And Ether Cool Off As Traders Weigh Fed Rate Cut Hopes

Bitcoin is hovering around 91,000 dollars and ether is easing after their early January spike, with both still up on the week as the first 2026 rally cools rather than reverses. XRP has pulled back about 4.5% after a strong run, while dogecoin remains the best weekly performer among large caps, up more than 22%. In the background, a rally in government bonds and softer U.S. data are strengthening expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts later in 2026, a macro shift that supports risk assets but also encourages short term crypto traders to lock in profits and wait for clearer signals.

Leveraged Silver Bets Arrive On Binance Futures For Crypto Traders

Binance has launched a cash settled silver perpetual futures contract, letting users trade leveraged long or short positions on silver using USDT as collateral inside the same futures interface they use for crypto. The contract offers up to 50x leverage, tracks an external silver index and uses funding payments between longs and shorts to stay close to the underlying price. It gives crypto traders an easy way to bet on or hedge silver’s volatile moves without leaving Binance, while also adding another high risk product where heavy leverage can lead to rapid liquidations.

Ethereum Staking Queues Clear, Turning ETH Into A More Liquid Macro Trade

Ethereum’s staking queues have finally cleared, so validators can now enter or exit almost instantly, ending the post Merge era when long lines to stake helped fuel a “supply shock” narrative, while rewards have compressed to around 3% a year, making staking just one more yield option rather than a huge magnet for new ETH. The network still anchors roughly 58% of DeFi with about 74 billion dollars in TVL, but that is below prior peaks as rivals like Solana and Base grab more growth, and prediction markets now give ETH only a small chance of hitting new highs by March 2026. As a result, analysts see Ethereum trading more like a macro asset tied to risk sentiment, real world yields and app adoption, with staking now part of a normal liquidity mix instead of a one way supply sink.

Bitcoin Briefly Tags 93K As New Year Crypto Rally Builds Momentum

Bitcoin briefly pushed above 93,000 dollars as crypto extended its New Year rally, helping add more than 200 billion dollars to the market since December 31 and lifting total capitalization into the low 3 trillion range, with about 260 million dollars in liquidations over 24 hours, mostly short positions including over 90 million dollars in BTC alone. Ether climbed back above 3,100 dollars and majors like XRP, Solana, dogecoin, cardano and BNB posted single digit gains, with XRP popping to just over 2.10 dollars as shorts were squeezed there too. The move comes alongside strength in Asian equities and record level gold and silver prices, while investors largely treat fast moving geopolitical tension in Venezuela as a background factor rather than a brake on risk appetite.

January 5, 2026

Ethereum And Solana Prepare The Ground For A 2026 DeFi Comeback

In 2025 DeFi shifted from hype to rebuilding, with Ethereum focusing on rollups, data availability, liquid staking and interoperability to better serve institutions, while Solana used a year of real demand to harden its high throughput infrastructure after past outages. Together they are positioning as twin anchors for a 2026 DeFi reboot, aiming at more scalable, resilient systems and real world finance use cases rather than another short lived speculative yield cycle.

January 3, 2026

Institutions Turn Bitcoin Into A Yield Engine And Calm Its Wild Swings

In 2025 bitcoin’s market became noticeably calmer as institutions turned their BTC and spot ETF holdings into yield strategies built around options. Big holders spent the year selling covered calls to earn steady premiums and buying puts for downside protection, which flooded the market with call supply, pushed implied volatility lower and shifted options pricing toward a more traditional “long but hedged” profile. With a growing share of all bitcoin now sitting in ETFs and corporate treasuries that earn no native yield, this call overwriting and systematic hedging helped turn 2025 into one of the least volatile years in bitcoin’s history.

Silver Volatility Surges Past Bitcoin As Year End Flows Favor Metals

Silver has recently become more volatile than bitcoin, with its 30 day realized volatility rising into the mid 50 percent range while bitcoin’s has cooled into the mid 40s and slipped below its yearly average, as traders increasingly use metals instead of crypto to express macro views. The metal is up more than 150 percent this year on tight supply, strong industrial demand from solar and EVs, and new Chinese export licensing that has pushed prices in hubs like Shanghai and Dubai far above COMEX and driven the London curve into backwardation, while bitcoin is still down about 7 percent year to date and sits roughly 30 percent under its October peak, trading in a dull range as ETF flows and speculative appetite fade into year end.

Strategy Adds Another 1,229 BTC As December Buying Spree Continues

Strategy bought another 1,229 BTC for about 108.8 million dollars at an average price of 88,568 dollars per coin, lifting its holdings to roughly 672,497 BTC accumulated at a total cost of about 50.44 billion dollars. The purchase was funded through its ongoing stock sale program and comes on top of nearly 2 billion dollars in bitcoin buys this month, reinforcing Strategy’s role as a long term, price dip buyer whose balance sheet is heavily tied to BTC even as its share price remains sensitive to market volatility.

December 29, 2025

Dog Memecoins Go Quiet As Holiday Trading Thins Out

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have been drifting lower in tight ranges during the holidays, with thin liquidity and weak retail activity keeping price moves muted rather than explosive. Both coins are mostly following technical support levels and overall market sentiment, instead of leading new trends, and analysts say they are acting more like passengers in a slow, choppy market until a fresh catalyst or social media hype wave appears.

December 27, 2025

Trust Wallet Chrome Extension Hack Drains Over 7 Million Dollars

Trust Wallet’s Chrome browser extension was compromised in version 2.68, allowing attackers to steal seed phrases and private keys and drain more than 7 million dollars from users’ wallets, while mobile apps and other browsers were not affected. The team has released version 2.69 to remove the backdoor and is urging anyone who used the hacked version to treat their wallet as exposed, create a new one, and move funds immediately, with Binance’s Changpeng Zhao saying impacted users will be reimbursed.

Trump Media Quietly Rearranges 2,000 BTC After Fresh Bitcoin Buy

Trump Media and Technology Group moved about 2,000 BTC worth roughly 174 million dollars through several onchain wallets shortly after boosting its holdings to 11,542 BTC with a new 451 coin purchase, with around 12 million dollars in bitcoin ending up in Coinbase Prime Custody and the rest staying in related addresses, suggesting internal treasury reorganization rather than selling, while bitcoin’s price stayed rangebound near 86,000–87,000 dollars and Trump Media’s DJT stock climbed over 30% in a week.

December 24, 2025

Bitcoin Braces For Its Weakest Year Since 2018 As Fatigue Sets In

Bitcoin is on track for its weakest year since 2018, trading near 88,000 dollars after a fourth quarter drop of more than 22 percent that leaves it still below its January starting level and about 30 percent under its 2025 peak around 125,000 dollars. The broader crypto market has recovered slightly, but sentiment toward BTC remains cautious, with fear and greed gauges stuck in the fear zone, liquidity thin and price action driven more by ETF and derivatives flows than strong spot demand, especially as gold finishes the year with a standout gain that makes some investors question bitcoin’s defensive role.

December 23, 2025

BitMine Adds 300 Million Dollars In Ether, Pushing Treasury Past 4 Million ETH

BitMine Immersion Technologies bought about 98,800 ETH for roughly 300 million dollars, pushing its ether holdings above 4.06 million ETH, or around 3.37% of total supply. The company now controls an ETH treasury worth over 12 billion dollars while still keeping about 1 billion dollars in cash, and says it is moving toward a long term goal of owning around 5% of all ether despite sitting on large unrealized losses after recent market pullbacks.

Bitcoin’s Quantum Question Returns As Investors Ask For A Plan

The debate over how future quantum computers might affect Bitcoin has resurfaced, even though experts say no machine today can break its cryptography and such threats are likely decades away. Developers argue there is time and possible upgrades like quantum resistant address formats, while investors want a clear, agreed roadmap to protect long term holdings, including old wallets such as Satoshi’s coins. For now it is not seen as an existential risk, but it remains a background concern that will keep returning until the community settles on a concrete migration plan.

Bybit Reopens In The U.K. With 100 Spot Trading Pairs After Two Year Pause

Bybit has reopened its U.K. platform after a two year break, now offering spot trading on 100 crypto pairs and a peer to peer marketplace under a compliant structure that uses licensed partner Archax for financial promotions. The exchange had previously exited when stricter FCA marketing rules arrived and is returning after upgrading security in the wake of a 1.45 billion dollar hack. Its comeback gives U.K. traders another major venue under regulatory oversight as the country moves toward a fuller crypto regime in the coming years.

Coinbase Wins Green Light For CoinDCX Stake As It Rebuilds In India

India’s competition regulator has approved Coinbase’s plan to buy a minority stake in CoinDCX’s parent company, valuing the Indian exchange at about 2.45 billion dollars and giving Coinbase a regulated foothold in a top growth market. CoinDCX, which serves over 20 million users and recently recovered from a 44 million dollar security breach, will use the partnership to expand products and reach. For Coinbase, the deal marks a key step in rebuilding its presence in India after pulling back in 2023 and sets up deeper integration ahead of planned fiat on-ramps in 2026.

Bitcoin, Ether And XRP Slide As Crypto Market Clings To 3 Trillion Dollar Line

Bitcoin, ether and XRP all slipped as the total crypto market cap once again tested the 3 trillion dollar level from above. BTC fell to around 86,500 dollars, ETH dipped below 3,000 and XRP stalled near 1.90, with analysts saying large institutional players are trimming risk into year end. A stronger dollar, thin holiday liquidity and a fear and greed index near extreme fear are adding pressure, even as on chain data still show long term buyers like Strategy accumulating bitcoin in size.

React Bug Lets Attackers Drain Crypto Wallets On Thousands Of Sites

A severe bug in React Server Components, dubbed React2Shell, lets attackers remotely run commands on unpatched servers using crafted web requests. Thousands of sites built with React 19.x and frameworks like Next.js are affected, including crypto platforms, which means hacked front ends can inject malicious scripts to redirect transactions or drain wallets even if the blockchain itself is secure. Security teams urge urgent patching, dependency updates and monitoring for signs of compromise such as unauthorized miners or backdoors.

Bitcoin Hashrate Suffers Biggest Post Halving Slump As China Racks Down On Miners

Bitcoin’s hashrate has seen its sharpest drop since the 2024 halving, falling from about 1.1 ZH/s to just above 1 ZH/s after an estimated 400,000 mining machines in China, especially in Xinjiang, were shut down. The decline comes as miners are already under pressure from low hashprice and post halving economics, though difficulty is expected to adjust lower and the network remains secure. The pullback may benefit miners in regions like the United States, as their share of global hashrate rises while Chinese capacity goes offline.

December 14, 2025

Bank of Japan Rate Hike To 30 Year High Puts Bitcoin In The Crosshairs

The Bank of Japan is expected to raise rates to 0.75 percent on December 19, the highest level in about 30 years, which could strengthen the yen and drain liquidity from global risk markets, including bitcoin. A stronger yen and unwinding of yen funded carry trades have previously pressured BTC, although this time some of the move looks priced in and the Fed has just cut rates. Still, Japan’s heavy debt load and shifting policy mean its decisions will remain an important factor for crypto sentiment going forward.

XRP Gets Wrapped And Goes Multichain With Regulated Bridge

Hex Trust is launching wrapped XRP (wXRP), a 1:1 backed version of XRP that will live on Ethereum, Solana, Optimism and HyperEVM, giving XRP users direct access to DeFi on multiple chains through a regulated bridge. Every wXRP is fully backed by custodied XRP, and if adoption grows, this could turn XRP from a mostly single chain asset into a more integrated multichain liquidity player.

Revolut And Trust Wallet Team Up On Instant Self-Custody Crypto Buys In Europe

Revolut and Trust Wallet have launched an integration in the EU that lets users buy crypto inside Trust Wallet using Revolut Pay, cards or bank transfers, with coins going straight into self-custody instead of a centralized exchange. The flow supports major assets like BTC, ETH, SOL, USDC and USDT, often with no extra fees when using existing Revolut balances, and is designed to make one click fiat to wallet onboarding simple while keeping users in full control of their keys.

Sei Wallet To Ship Pre-Installed On Millions Of Xiaomi Phones From 2026

From 2026, Xiaomi will start shipping millions of phones outside China and the US with a Sei powered crypto wallet pre-installed, giving users an easy way to access stablecoin payments, transfers and Sei based dApps without setting up a traditional wallet. The rollout will focus on regions where Xiaomi is strong, like the EU, Latin America and India, and will also enable stablecoin payments in over 20,000 Xiaomi stores. Sei and Xiaomi see this as a major push to bring Web3 into everyday mobile use.

Wall Street Quietly Moves Into Bitcoin-Backed Credit, Saylor Says

Michael Saylor says major U.S. banks, including JPMorgan, Citi, Wells Fargo, BNY Mellon, Bank of America and Charles Schwab, are now offering or preparing bitcoin backed credit lines, often using spot bitcoin ETFs as collateral. He argues this marks a turning point where Wall Street treats bitcoin as serious loan collateral, letting investors borrow against their holdings instead of selling, and sees it as part of a broader geopolitical race to build bitcoin based banking and financial infrastructure.

Monad’s Launch Shows How FDV Can Mislead When Markets Turn Risk Off

Monad’s MON token launched with a very high fully diluted valuation of about 3.2 billion dollars, even though only a small part of its 100 billion supply is actually trading and market demand is cautious after bitcoin’s drop.
