Additionally, the approved framework decreed the permanent lock of 210 million tokens originally allocated to the Foundation and the community fund, preventing their transfer or delegation in staking schemes. The second component of the reform consisted of halving validation yields. The annual reward rate went from 5.19% to a flat percentage of 2.6%, shrinking the gross generation of new tokens from 43 million to around 20 million units annually.

Chief Executive Matt Cole has said Strive could potentially become the second-largest public corporate Bitcoin holder by the end of the year, though he does not consider that the most likely outcome.

Its cash balance was about $317.5 million as of Oct. 16. The company also has existing debt and preferred securities that rank ahead of its newly issued SATS preferred stock. Strive’s 15% SATS Series A preferred offering was priced at $90 per share, compared…

That calculation indicates scale rather than a confirmed loss tally. The dashboard does not specify whether its balance includes the drawdown, and Lulo’s announcement did not say whether it had completed redemptions or finalized the dollar loss. Under Lulo’s documented structure, Boost is first-loss capital: depositors receive base lending yield plus a share of Protected depositors’ interest in exchange for absorbing losses before Protected depositors. Lulo’s protection documentation says smart contracts execute compensation automatically, without a claims process. Protected capital remains insulated only as long as the coverage pool is sufficient to absorb the loss. Neutrl’s 51-Cent Exit Neutrl’s Ethereum…

However, history does provide a bullish scenario. In November 2024, $BTC rallied more than 30% after the U.S. presidential election, fueled by optimism about U.S. President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto policies. Bitcoin’s resilience could lead to another November rally, but rising leverage and the uncertainty of the election could create a bull trap. Source: X According to AMBCrypto, this is where the last 24 hours begin to make sense.

The immediate contest is between hourly buying momentum and nearby resistance. Price is already above the daily R1, so treating that level as an unbroken ceiling would miss the setup. The next question is whether the hourly advance can extend while the daily momentum deficit continues to narrow. Bitcoin dominance and a whale transfer frame the backdrop CoinGecko puts total crypto market capitalization at approximately $2.77 trillion and Bitcoin dominance at 60.18%. Those levels establish Bitcoin’s weight in the broader market, but they do not establish a change in capital allocation. Fear & Greed Index is not univocal here: one…
