Bitcoin’s next price floor could sit far higher than most investors expect, according to Alexandre Laizet, board director at Capital B, one of Europe’s leading Bitcoin treasury companies. Laizet points to a specific catalyst: digital credit, a new category of Bitcoin-backed listed instruments that he says is quietly reshaping demand for the asset. Why digital credit matters “There is three x more demand for Bitcoin in the market than the natural Bitcoin mining supply,” Laizet said, describing digital credit as products that let mainstream investors and Wall Street access Bitcoin exposure through double-digit returns with volatility below 5 to 10…

A researcher at the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) has revealed that 31% of all Ethereum node activity is concentrated in the United States, highlighting a significant geographical centralization risk for the network. Alexander Neumüller, a CCAF researcher, noted that a large portion of Ethereum nodes are hosted on infrastructure provided by Hetzner, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and OVH. Concentration of Validators and Infrastructure According to Neumüller’s findings, shared via Wu Blockchain, the heavy reliance on a small number of cloud providers in a single country creates a potential vulnerability. He explained that if more than one-third of Ethereum…

The head of South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), Lee Chan-jin, has reiterated his warning to individual investors who borrow excessively to bet on rising stocks that this could lead to ruin.

He advised banks and brokers to manage risks better and to respond to them as soon as possible. Lee reportedly urged financial companies to highlight the risks of…

European regulators and central bankers have warned that rulemaking cannot keep pace with rapid advances in agentic artificial intelligence and have called for guardrails to protect the financial system. Bank of England deputy governor Sarah Breeden is one of several central bankers who have said that agentic AI could amplify volatility during bouts of market stress. Breeden questioned if guardrails are needed, “analogous to circuit breakers or kill switches that would limit or stop trading market-wide if faulty AI models cause market meltdown,” she said at the European Central Bank’s annual meeting in Sintra, Portugal, on Tuesday. US companies are…

Compared to the tumultuous price action of early June, Bitcoin [$BTC] has faced less volatility and liquidations at the start of July. However, this does not necessarily mean it is a month for recovery. There is no getting around the fact that Bitcoin demand has dramatically dropped. The spot ETF flows have been positive for the past three trading days, from July 2, but have been overwhelmingly negative since mid-May, with just three days of net inflows. Evidence continues to point toward a lack of Bitcoin buyer conviction Calculated as the difference between new issuance and the supply of Bitcoin…

The AI trade, which incorporates semiconductors and memory stocks, is showing signs of fatigue as investors reassess whether the extraordinary spending boom on chips and data centers can be sustained. Semiconductor and memory stocks such as Micron Technology (MU) and Sandisk (SNDK) came under heavy pressure on Tuesday, after Samsung Electronics (005930) reported record second-quarter earnings but missed revenue estimates.Shares still fell nearly 7%, extending a broader selloff across AI-linked chipmakers. Concerns are growing that hyperscalers could slow AI infrastructure spending. Meanwhile, rival SK Hynix is down 25% from its all-time high ahead of its U.S. listing this week, a…

A strange statistical glitch has been recorded with the Shiba Inu ($SHIB) coin. In just one day, the number of on-chain transactions collapsed by 95% — from a peak of 78,558 transfers to a modest 3,922, according to CryptoQuant. This powerful spike on July 6 became the largest for $SHIB since last October. However, the speed with which the metrics returned to normal turned the situation into a real on-chain detective story. Usually, such jumps happen when a major crypto exchange is cleaning up its wallets and massively moving client funds into secure cold storage. But this time, that logic…
