Bitcoin remains under bearish pressure after failing to sustain momentum above the critical $80K-$82K resistance region. However, recent price action suggests buyers are attempting to defend the important $75K support zone, increasing the probability of a short-term corrective rebound before the broader downtrend resumes. While the market structure still favors sellers, the current positioning near key support and liquidity clusters could trigger a temporary bullish correction in the coming sessions. Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart On the daily timeframe, $BTC has entered a corrective phase after being rejected from the major supply zone around $82K-$84K, which also aligned with…

A pseudonymous white hat hacker has helped recover $2 million worth of Ether locked in a faulty initial coin offering (ICO) smart contract for almost a decade. In a post to X on Sunday, the white hat, known as “0xflorent,” said they helped recover about 1,003 Ether ($ETH) from 48 investors who participated in the Hong Coin (HONG) ICO, a decentralized venture capital fund that never launched due to it failing to reach its funding goal. “The contract held all the investors’ $ETH and was supposed to auto-refund them,” 0xflorent said.

Tokenization has become one of crypto’s biggest promises. The idea sounds simple: take stocks, bonds or funds, and move them onto blockchain rails that operate around the clock.

Investors could move collateral across markets faster, and firms could cut back-office costs tied to legacy systems built decades ago. When tokenized securities trade around the clock, it gives investors more flexibility to lend or pledge shares as collateral and provides issuers with better data on who owns and trades their…

At some point, the progress of the crypto sector’s top policy priority — the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act — becomes an insurmountable math problem, with not enough time left in the U.S. Senate’s work calendar to allow for passage. But the bill has now been formally offered for the Senate calendar, and the industry’s lobbyists are still shooting for a last-moment win. There are about eight weeks of floor time available in the Senate before the lawmakers scatter for the summer break and the political demands of the midterm congressional elections. And as the election season grows more urgent,…

Software firm turned Bitcoin treasury company Strategy has been buying $BTC for more than five years, pioneering the growing trend of publicly traded firms that are adding cryptocurrencies to their balance sheets. What started as a way to “maximize long-term value for shareholders” has transformed into an industry-shifting paradigm that has been further fueled by greater entwinement of traditional financial markets and crypto.

Regardless of how high Bitcoin’s price…

Reid, an ICO-era participant who still builds on Ethereum ($ETH), published the indictment, framing the underperformance as accumulated execution debt with names, dates, and missed product calls. A 65% Drop With Names Attached Reid’s central data point lines up with public market data. The $ETH/$BTC ratio peaked near 0.085 around the Merge in September 2022. It has fallen to roughly 0.028 by late May,…
