Celo has enhanced its collaboration with Ledger by integrating a key network feature into the hardware wallet provider’s platform, offering more flexible transaction fee options to users worldwide. Ledger supports Celo’s CIP-64 fee abstraction Ledger has implemented support for Celo’s fee abstraction, made possible through the network’s CIP-64 upgrade. This change allows users to pay transaction fees using a variety of Celo-native assets, rather than being restricted to the $CELO token. The new functionality builds on Ledger Live’s December 2025 update, where users gained the ability to transact and exchange $CELO and Celo stablecoins through Ledger’s interface. With this latest…

Bitcoin is bouncing from its weekly Bollinger Band support, but the next move may not be clean. If $BTC holds $62,700 and sweeps $65,600, bulls could keep the path toward $70,000 alive, while rejection there may send price back toward $60,500. Bitcoin Bollinger Band Bounce Puts $70K Back in Focus Bitcoin has bounced from the lower weekly Bollinger Band, giving bulls a clear recovery setup after weeks of weakness.

Ethereum [$ETH] has historically struggled to sustain its outperformance against Bitcoin. On the technical front, $ETH/$BTC last posted a strong quarterly rally in Q3 2025, surging 53%, marking its biggest quarterly gain since Q2 2021. However, sellers erased 50% of those gains as the rally lost momentum. This suggests the rotation was temporary, as capital continued to flow into Bitcoin. Against this backdrop, the ratio’s 5% rally so far in Q3 appears too early to confirm a sustained rotation from Bitcoin into Ethereum. At the same time, Bitcoin dominance is once again pushing toward the key 60% resistance level, gaining…

U.S.-linked wallets appear to be the largest political trading group on Polymarket’s global platform, even though the platform lists the United States as a blocked country. Blockchain data firm Allium said in a July 3 report that the U.S. was the biggest national political market by contracts traded among wallets it could link to a country. The firm said its data covered only about 6% of wallets with country tags, so the results should be treated as directional. Still, Allium said the pattern was clear enough to show that US demand did not disappear after access blocks. “Blocking access did…

More than $1.4 billion in token unlocks hit the market during the week of January 26 to February 2, 2026, based on figures from CoinGecko. Sui takes the top spot by dollar value, trailed by a group of DeFi, layer-2, and AI projects. Of that total, $154.95 million arrives as cliff releases, which means those tokens enter circulation in single batches rather than a slow drip. SUI headlines this week’s token unlocks The Sui coin leads the pack with a massive $62.68 million release. However, although the figure is quite high, the supply will only get boosted by 1.14%, which…

In June 2025, a week before the $XRP Ledger’s EVM sidechain went live, the team building it published the arithmetic of what was coming. Polygon had contributed somewhere between $2 billion and $6 billion in total value locked to Ethereum, up to a tenth of the whole. If the XRPL EVM sidechain matched that trajectory, the post argued, the uplift to the $XRP Ledger would run from $600 million to $12 billion, and it would fundamentally change the demand curve for $XRP. Ninety entities were already building. Sixty days of testnet had pulled in developers who had never touched the…

Bitcoin has held above $63,000 after last week’s macro-driven rebound, but traders are now weighing expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts against rising geopolitical tensions and mounting technical resistance. According to data from crypto.news, Bitcoin ($BTC) price traded around $63,100 on Tuesday after briefly testing the $64,000 region again, leaving the market caught between bullish macro expectations and a growing list of near-term risks. The cryptocurrency rallied nearly 10% over the past week after Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh suggested artificial intelligence-driven productivity gains could help contain inflation, while a weak U.S. jobs report showing only 57,000 new payroll additions…

Note that there’s no direct one-to-one match between cryptocurrency wallets and actual holders. A single individual can create dozens or even hundreds of distinct wallets, while a single…

On the first day of every month, one billion $XRP leaves a set of locked contracts on the $XRP Ledger, and every month traders argue about what it means. Here is the full machinery: why the escrow was created, how the ledger enforces it, where the released tokens actually go, and how to read the unlock without being fooled by the headline number. At around 07:30 UTC on July 1, 2026, on-chain trackers flagged three transfers on the $XRP Ledger: 200 million $XRP, then 300 million, then 500 million, exactly one billion tokens worth roughly $1.04 billion at the time.…
