The Cardano ecosystem has suffered another setback after a decentralized exchange powered by Hydra announced that it is suspending operations indefinitely due to operational constraints. DeltaDeFi, the first Hydra Layer 2-powered DEX on Cardano, confirmed the decision in an operational update. The announcement has reignited concerns across the Cardano community, with many viewing it as the latest addition to a growing list of ecosystem projects that have either shut down or reduced operations in recent months. DeltaDeFi Suspends Development and Maintenance In an update shared with its community, the DeltaDeFi team revealed that it had exhausted its operational runway. This…

Bitcoin has rebounded nearly 10% from its July 1 low as weak U.S. jobs data, lower oil prices, and a weekend short squeeze pushed traders back toward risk assets. According to data from crypto.news, Bitcoin ($BTC) price traded near $62,990 on July 6 after climbing from $58,293 earlier in the week to an intraday high near $64,000. The move followed a weaker-than-expected U.S. nonfarm payrolls report, which showed only 57,000 jobs added in June against forecasts near 110,000. The miss reduced expectations for more Federal Reserve tightening and helped ease pressure on non-yielding assets. Crude oil traded below $69 per…

Ethereum continued to strengthen during the latest trading session as technical indicators pointed to positive momentum while analysts monitored whether the cryptocurrency could extend its recovery above key resistance levels. The asset traded at $1,880.58, up 4.66% over the past 24 hours, with daily trading volume reaching $14.26 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. The current trend comes as chart analysts identified developing technical patterns that could influence Ethereum’s next move. At the same time, recent inflation data has improved the backdrop for risk assets, while expectations have emerged that Ethereum exchange-traded funds could record monthly net inflows after eight consecutive months…

This week, a user unintentionally sent about 1.34 million $ANSEM tokens, or about $226,000, to the token’s contract address rather than the intended recipient, which is one of the most painful lessons in cryptocurrency. The transaction details show that the user sent 1,342,084 $ANSEM tokens, or about $226,256. The money was transferred straight to the token contract address rather than to another wallet. Rookie mistake Since contract addresses are typically not made to accept and retrieve user funds, tokens are essentially lost forever. This incident is especially frustrating because it wasn’t the result of a sophisticated scam, hack, or exploit.…

President Donald Trump said in January he had no plans to pardon Bankman-Fried. He has cleared Binance founder Changpeng Zhao and Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht, along with other white-collar offenders. Bankman-Fried ran two companies at once. FTX was a crypto exchange, which holds customer money the way a broker does and is not supposed to touch it. Alameda Research was a trading firm he also owned, and he moved billions of dollars of FTX customer deposits to Alameda, which spent the money on trades, venture investments, political donations and Bahamas real estate, while FTX’s software gave Alameda an exemption…

$XRP users are increasingly moving tokens away from major cryptocurrency exchanges. On-chain data shows that withdrawals are now exceeding deposits across Coinbase, Binance, and Bybit. According to CryptoQuant analyst Amr Taha, Coinbase recorded its strongest withdrawal-heavy seven-day period in about five months. Binance also returned to levels last seen in February. The shift points to a change in exchange-user behavior, although $XRP’s price has remained mostly stable. Coinbase Sees Strongest Withdrawal Trend Since February Taha said Coinbase’s seven-day net deposit/withdrawal transaction count fell to around -13,000 on July 15. This marked the exchange’s most negative reading since mid-February. The latest…

Every evening, a handful of numbers tells the market what institutions did with Bitcoin that day, and in June 2026 those numbers set a record no one wanted. Here is the machinery behind ETF inflows and outflows: who actually buys the coins, what cash versus in-kind settlement changes, and how to read flow data without being fooled by headlines. In June 2026, more than $4 billion left the United States spot Bitcoin ETFs in a single month, the worst stretch since the products launched, and the number led every market story for weeks. Most of the people trading on that…

Ethereum has rejected the 100-day EMA after failing to surge past the $1,950 level, with the bulls still in control of the market. $ETH’s rally over the last 24 hours comes after Ethereum treasury company BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) reported its quarterly earnings. The company generated $45.7 million in staking and validator revenue during the quarter ended May 31, highlighting the growing contribution of Ethereum staking to its business model. According to the company’s latest Form 10-Q filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), staking operations accounted for nearly 98% of total quarterly revenue, which reached $46.5 million.…

According to recent ecosystem data, the layer-1 blockchain is approaching full readiness for the V11 hard fork, which has been officially dubbed “van Rossem.” Major cryptocurrency exchanges, including industry giants Binance and Coinbase, have already signaled their operational readiness. The much-anticipated upgrade is essentially ready to go, but it still needs to receive the final sign-off from the Constitutional Committee (CC). The “van Rossem” hard fork? The upgrade has been named after the late Max van Rossem, and it is meant to honor his substantial contributions to building the Cardano community and developing its governance structure. Technically, V11 is categorized…

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) warned that criminals are increasingly exploiting stablecoins for illicit finance, with most identified onchain criminal activity now involving the dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies. In its latest report published Thursday, the global anti-money laundering watchdog said criminal networks have also begun developing proprietary stablecoins designed to resist freezing and asset seizures. The FATF urged jurisdictions to accelerate implementation of crypto AML standards as illicit actors exploit regulatory gaps. The findings come from the FATF’s latest annual review of countries’ implementation of its AML standards for cryptocurrencies. While 83% of surveyed jurisdictions have adopted the Travel Rule into…
