Crypto-backed super PACs swept Tuesday’s primaries, with all 11 candidates supported by Fairshake affiliates advancing or winning their races, extending the industry’s electoral winning streak while revealing a strategy increasingly focused on cultivating Democratic allies rather than backing established crypto champions. The results spanned nine California congressional races, New Jersey’s 8th District, and South Dakota’s Senate primary. The roster included supporters of the CLARITY Act, the GENIUS Act and blockchain developer protections, as well as candidates who signed pro-crypto pledges through Stand With Crypto. Among the winners were California Democrats Zoe Lofgren, Ted Lieu, Dave Min, Lou Correa, and George…

AEON has added support for SPEI in Mexico, giving its payment network a much more direct link to the country’s local banking system and pushing its settlement layer a little deeper into the real world. SPEI, or Sistema de Pagos Electrónicos Interbancarios, is Mexico’s real-time bank transfer network and one of the most widely used financial rails in the country. By bringing it into its payment infrastructure, AEON is making it easier for people to pay merchants with crypto while still settling transactions through a system businesses already know and trust. The result is a checkout flow that feels far…

IREN (IREN) shares rose more than 4% in pre-market trading on Wednesday after the company announced plans for an 800-megawatt data center campus in South Australia, marking its first major Australian data center project.

The site will also benefit from submarine fiber connectivity linking it to key Asia-Pacific markets, including Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea and Japan. Management…

Bitcoin remains under bearish pressure after failing to sustain momentum above the critical $80K-$82K resistance region. However, recent price action suggests buyers are attempting to defend the important $75K support zone, increasing the probability of a short-term corrective rebound before the broader downtrend resumes. While the market structure still favors sellers, the current positioning near key support and liquidity clusters could trigger a temporary bullish correction in the coming sessions. Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart On the daily timeframe, $BTC has entered a corrective phase after being rejected from the major supply zone around $82K-$84K, which also aligned with…

A pseudonymous white hat hacker has helped recover $2 million worth of Ether locked in a faulty initial coin offering (ICO) smart contract for almost a decade. In a post to X on Sunday, the white hat, known as “0xflorent,” said they helped recover about 1,003 Ether ($ETH) from 48 investors who participated in the Hong Coin (HONG) ICO, a decentralized venture capital fund that never launched due to it failing to reach its funding goal. “The contract held all the investors’ $ETH and was supposed to auto-refund them,” 0xflorent said. However, “a bug in the refund function quietly broke…

Tokenization has become one of crypto’s biggest promises. The idea sounds simple: take stocks, bonds or funds, and move them onto blockchain rails that operate around the clock. Supporters say the result could reshape financial markets. Trading could happen 24/7. Settlement could become nearly instant instead of taking days. Investors could move collateral across markets faster, and firms could cut back-office costs tied to legacy systems built decades ago. When tokenized securities trade around the clock, it gives investors more flexibility to lend or pledge shares as collateral and provides issuers with better data on who owns and trades their…

At some point, the progress of the crypto sector’s top policy priority — the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act — becomes an insurmountable math problem, with not enough time left in the U.S. Senate’s work calendar to allow for passage. But the bill has now been formally offered for the Senate calendar, and the industry’s lobbyists are still shooting for a last-moment win. There are about eight weeks of floor time available in the Senate before the lawmakers scatter for the summer break and the political demands of the midterm congressional elections. And as the election season grows more urgent,…

Bitcoin miners have entered June with revenue above $1 billion for the first time in four months, but falling Bitcoin prices are already putting renewed pressure on mining economics. According to data from Newhedge, miners generated $1.086 billion in revenue during May, the highest monthly total since January. Most of that income came from the 3.125 $BTC block subsidy, which contributed roughly $1.079 billion, while transaction fees accounted for only a small portion of earnings. Source: newhedge Even as miners posted a stronger month, conditions have weakened since the start of June. According to data from crypto.news, Bitcoin ($BTC) price…
