A notable transformation is taking place in the Bitcoin ($BTC) mining sector. According to a recently published industry report, mining companies are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure due to increasing cost pressures and declining profitability. Specifically, the average production cost for publicly traded mining companies is expected to rise to approximately $80,000 per coin by the fourth quarter of 2025, while the Bitcoin price is projected to hover around $70,000. This translates to a loss of approximately $20,000 per coin across the sector. This situation seriously calls into question the sustainability of the current business…

Ethereum ($ETH) is trading at $2,068, pressing directly against the 0.236 Fibonacci level at $2,055. The token has been pulled in two directions simultaneously — long-term holders booking profits from elevated cost bases while whale-tier addresses absorb that supply to prevent a structural breakdown.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission’s former top enforcement official reportedly clashed with the regulator’s top brass before resigning last week, with part of the reason being how the agency handled cases involving those close to US President Donald Trump. Margaret Ryan, the ex-director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, wanted to pursue fraud and other charges in cases involving those in Trump’s orbit, but was resisted by SEC Chair Paul Atkins and other Republican political appointees, Reuters reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter. Two cases that created tension between Ryan and the SEC’s top officials involved…
