Myriad: Bitcoin’s next price move? Click to make your prediction. The largest, holding 146.06 $BTC, or about $11.31 million, had sat untouched since November 2013, nearly 12.8 years, and delivered a gain of about 12,902% on a cost basis near $595. A 40 $BTC wallet dormant since November 2011 followed, worth around $3.09 million and up a staggering 2,571,899% from an average cost of roughly $3. That means this patient hodler managed to turn roughly $120 in $BTC into more than $3 million—by sitting on it for close to 15 years. Two smaller wallets rounded out the batch: 10 $BTC…

Securitize’s tokenized stocks have emerged as the leader in market cap growth, adding $250.8 million over the past 30 days. This surge highlights a growing trend in the adoption of digital assets, especially among institutional investors. The insight was shared by CryptoTwitter commentator @tokenterminal, emphasizing the competitive landscape for tokenized stocks. As digital finance continues to evolve, this trend could signal further institutional interest in tokenized assets. The Story So Far The broader crypto market is currently exhibiting mixed signals, yet the performance of tokenized stocks indicates a strong interest in alternative asset classes. Securitize’s growth was followed by Binance…

“After more than six incredible years as the company’s co-founder and CEO, Jacob is transitioning out of Zora and onto his next chapter,” Goens wrote. “I will be stepping into the CEO role as we continue building and stewarding Zora.” Fewer Than 10 People Goens said Zora reduced headcount earlier this year and is “now smaller than we were at the start of the year, less than 10 people.” He did not give a prior figure or say how many people left. “As a result, we’ve gotten more AI native with agents running throughout Slack, writing code, and resolving incidents,”…

Holding $79,500 and pushing through $80,000 puts $81,000-$81,500 in the cards. On the flip side, a 1-hour close below $79,200 exposes $78,700, while a break of $79,500 brings the $78,700-$78,500 pocket into focus. Bitcoin’s 4-Hour Momentum Is Running Out of Steam The 4-hour chart makes bitcoin’s price momentum reset hard to miss. The rally from the high $77,000s into $82,000 territory kicks into high gear before a high-volume rejection puts the brakes on buyers and sends $BTC grinding toward $79,500-$80,000. The 4-hour relative strength index (RSI) moves above 70 around the high and cools into the low 50s on some…

Copper Futures Hit $6.95 Record Copper futures set a fresh all-time high of $6.95 per pound on September 22, capping a year in which the industrial metal and gold have moved in strikingly opposite directions. The record has reopened a debate that reaches well beyond commodities desks: can copper begin closing the gap with gold as a store of value? Unlike a monetary asset, copper is priced by industrial consumption — wiring, power grids and electronics — which makes a record high during a flat year for bullion genuinely unusual. The six-month copper chart puts the metal up roughly 20%…

The economic question is how much trading value remains with the people supplying liquidity after faster execution, fees, and competition between bots. A larger transaction count cannot answer it. Faster price updates benefit pools differently An automated market maker (AMM) lets traders swap against a pool of assets. When an external market price moves before the pool updates, an arbitrageur can trade against the outdated price. The bot captures the difference, and the pool’s liquidity providers bear the cost of that informational disadvantage. The Solana Foundation’s August analysis applies this model to constant-product pools, a conventional AMM design. Shorter intervals…

At $20 per TH/s, 75 EH/s corresponds to $1.5 billion of mining machines. That excludes the buildings, electrical equipment, cooling and installation needed to operate them. That is an often-overlooked cost of the AI transition: investors had already financed the mining capacity being displaced. At some sites, equipment was marked down within months of starting production, raising questions about how much of that investment mining could recover before AI took over. And the accounting consequences are becoming visible. A separate review by TheEnergyMag of 12 tracked companies identified approximately $1.1 billion in asset impairments and held-for-sale markdowns during the first…

Source: SoSo Value It was only on the 1st of September that $BTC ETFs saw approximately $236.5 million of net outflows. On 2nd September, however, things changed as the ETFs recorded $101 million of inflows and then the huge $730.8 million inflow on 3rd September. On 4th September, too, the ETFs added another $174.6 million, bringing the four-day period to approximately $770 million of net inflows despite the large 1st September withdrawal. What’s behind this huge single-day influx? Here, the biggest catalyst appears to be the changing macroeconomic environment, particularly expectations around U.S. monetary policy. For context, on 3rd September…

From the Shareholder Book to the Blockchain Traditional tokenized-stock models often start with a broker holding real shares in custody and minting tokens against them 1:1. The token can provide economic exposure to the stock and, depending on the setup, pass along dividends. But the token holder isn’t necessarily listed on the company’s official shareholder register. That can leave voting rights, proxies and corporate actions sitting in a gray area. Issuer-sponsored tokenization takes a different route. The public company and its transfer agent are directly involved, tying the token to the official ownership record so voting, dividends, stock splits and…

RippleX head of engineering J. Ayo Akinyele explained that the original V1.0 implementation was pulled after a vulnerability was reported through the bug bounty program before it reached the XRPL mainnet. Instead of patching that version in place, the team introduced V1.1 to separate the original implementation from the hardened release. A researcher called Shotes found a high-severity issue involving irrevocable delegate permissions, where a delegate could delete their account and later recreate it while keeping whatever permissions it had been handed by another account, with no way for the original account to revoke them. The changes go beyond a…
