Bitcoin is once again testing a critical level that could shape its next major move. With price action returning to a previously contested support and resistance zone, attention is now shifting toward a defined set of upside targets that could come into play if the level continues to hold. Bitcoin’s S/R Zone Retest Signals Strength In Market Structure According to market technician Johnathan Carter, Bitcoin’s weekly chart is currently revisiting a key zone that previously acted as resistance before being broken.

Trust and oversight are now central to crypto investing in Italy, according to the latest Crypto Compass from Boerse Stuttgart Digital. The study shows that Italians increasingly want security, transparency and service before they commit capital. Regulation and service lead the decision process About 80% of Italians say regulation and transparency matter when choosing a platform. Meanwhile, 77% look for reliable customer service, and over 70% prioritize secure custody solutions for their assets. That pattern points to a market that values safeguards as much as access. Moreover, the findings suggest that crypto users are becoming more selective as the italian…

It is one of the most debated topics in the $XRP community. Does holding $XRP actually translate into direct financial benefit from Ripple’s commercial success as a company? Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse finally addressed it directly. His answer was nuanced, personal, and stopped short of making any firm commitments while leaving a door deliberately open. What Garlinghouse Actually Said Garlinghouse said he hopes $XRP holders feel they are benefiting from Ripple’s existence through the work the company does to catalyse activity within the $XRP ecosystem. Every acquisition, every investment, every partnership Ripple pursues is evaluated in part through the lens…

India’s crypto market has entered another heated phase. This time, the spotlight sits firmly on Binance India. The exchange recently stated that India has no law banning crypto withdrawals. That statement triggered a major discussion across the country’s digital asset community. Traders, investors, and industry experts now question why several local platforms still restrict withdrawals. Many Indian users already face frustration with limited crypto access. Several domestic platforms allow buying and selling. However, they often stop users from transferring crypto assets outside their ecosystems. Binance India challenged this practice directly. The company argued that Indian law does not explicitly prohibit…

MoneyGram partnered with payments-focused blockchain Tempo to support stablecoin settlement and help validate remittance transactions on the network, as remittance companies increasingly adopt blockchain technology for cross-border transfers. The companies said Stripe plans to settle transactions to MoneyGram using Tempo’s infrastructure as part of efforts to move treasury and payment flows onto stablecoin rails. Tempo is a Layer 1 blockchain incubated by Stripe and Paradigm that focuses on stablecoin transfers and cross-border payments. In April, Visa became an early validator on Tempo, alongside companies including Stripe and Zodia Custody. MoneyGram said it will serve as an “anchor remittance validator” on…

After a brutal February that took Bitcoin from the mid-$90,000s all the way down to a $59,000 low, the market finally has something to feel decent about. $BTC is up roughly 4.65% today, trading around $71,013 and shaking off some of the fear that dominated the last several weeks. The problem is, in doing so, Bitcoin has drawn an all too familiar pattern on its charts—and one that suggests a price crash could be in the cards. The broader market, meanwhile, is still anticipating hard times. Stocks sunk to four-month lows after news of a delay to potential U.S.-Iran military…

Finance is shifting fast, and crypto neobanks are moving into the center of that change. However, the line between trading apps, banks and wallets is fading as crypto services spread into everyday payments and investing. From trading venue to financial hub The new model is broader than speculation. Crypto-friendly neobanks now target mainstream use cases, not only crypto-native traders, while crypto cards adoption is helping drive everyday usage. Moreover, monthly card volume has risen 223.5% year over year. That growth suggests users are treating these products as practical spending tools, not niche add-ons. At the same time, tokenized stocks boom…

In a crypto fundraising campaign for the US-based children’s hospital St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the process of issuing approximately $676,000 worth of ASTEROID tokens has been completed. Marc, who runs the cryptocurrency donation organization for the hospital, explained that the ASTEROID assets are being phased out. The process is being carried out as part of the hospital’s operation to accept cryptocurrency donations. According to the statement, an initial 0.5% of the ASTEROID token supply was donated to an institutional $ETH wallet. Due to the lack of a direct fiat currency conversion infrastructure at the time, the assets were held…

Coinbase is moving deeper into AI across two parts of its business at the same time, i.e., compliance operations and stablecoin payments for AI agents. CEO Brian Armstrong said the exchange rebuilt nearly all of its compliance workflows with AI systems handling most repetitive work. The company claims account restriction resolution times dropped by around 90% after the overhaul. This change comes as Coinbase promotes AI-agent payments using USDC on Base, a market the company believes could grow larger than traditional human-driven online commerce. AI Takes Over More Compliance Work Armstrong said AI systems now process 55% of US fraud…
