Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin mining company Bitdeer has announced it mined approximately 253.9 BTC this week and subsequently sold the entire amount during the same period. As a result, the firm currently holds no Bitcoin on its balance sheet. Strategic Shift or Cash Flow Necessity? Bitdeer’s decision to liquidate its entire weekly production marks a notable departure from the strategy adopted by many publicly traded mining companies, which often retain a portion of mined Bitcoin as a long-term reserve. The move suggests a prioritization of immediate liquidity over speculative holding, a tactic that may be driven by operational costs, debt servicing, or…

One company now holds close to 5% of all the ether that exists, and most of it is staked and off the market. The bull case is a supply squeeze. The bear case is a single buyer propping up a price it is already underwater on. Both can be true at the same time. On June 22, 2026, BitMine Immersion Technologies disclosed that it held 5,672,956 ether, worth about $10 billion, alongside a pile of cash, a sliver of Bitcoin, and stakes in a couple of moonshot bets. That ether position equals roughly 4.7% of the entire supply of the…

Few Companies Spark More Debate Right Now Than Strategy Few topics have captivated the crypto community more today than Strategy, its massive bitcoin treasury, MSTR shares, and the company’s preferred stock, STRC. Mounting pressure on MSTR this year, coupled with STRC’s slide well below its $100 par value, has shaken investor confidence and fueled relentless debate across the market. Nearly everyone seems to have an opinion on the company, with the community sharply divided between supporters who remain convinced of its long-term strategy and critics who argue that Strategy and founder Michael Saylor’s high-stakes bet is destined to fail. Roche:…

In his latest publication, Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz put an end to the years-long debate around the history of the cryptocurrency’s creation, officially refuting rumors that Canadian programmer Ryan Fugger is the creator of the $XRP token. The reason for these speculations remains the RipplePay project, which Fugger launched in 2004 — five years before the appearance of Bitcoin. Because of the similar name, many people still mistakenly consider the Canadian programmer the “father” of $XRP. True history behind the $XRP Ledger architecture Schwartz restores the real chronology of events and explains that Fugger’s original 2004 project was an…

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo called on Congress on Tuesday to pass the Clarity Act, highlighting blockchain’s potential to bring financial inclusion to the unbanked and underserved Cuomo Bats For Blockchain Technology During an interview with Fox Business, Cuomo argued that the adoption of blockchain technology could drastically reduce consumer costs by lessening reliance on traditional banking institutions “You don’t need the intermediaries. Literally, you could trade directly, and it can be a 24/7 market, and it can be a global market,” Cuomo was quoted as saying. He also highlighted how having a cryptocurrency wallet on your phone and…

Bybit has opened a dedicated account type that lets AI trading bots operate inside a walled-off space, separate from a client’s main funds. The crypto exchange is pitching the feature, which it calls the AI Subaccount, at developers and traders across the Middle East and North Africa. The launch lands in the middle of a fast-moving shift. Over the first half of 2026, at least ten retail brokers and platform vendors wired AI agents into live client accounts, according to a FM Intelligence study, most of them running on the same open plumbing. Bybit’s move pulls a crypto exchange into…

The Screws Tighten Onchain data shows that on June 26, 2026, at block height 955,584, Bitcoin’s difficulty rating rose 7.15% after the prior epoch’s 10.09% decline. The adjustment means discovering a block is now 7.15% more difficult than it was before block 955,584 and the 2,016 blocks that preceded it. The increase lifts the difficulty to 133.87 trillion. When Satoshi mined the genesis block, the network required a guess beginning with roughly eight leading zeros in hexadecimal to qualify as valid. Today, at a difficulty of 133.87 trillion, a valid hash needs about 22 leading zeros. Each additional leading zero…

The long-accepted “4-year cycle” theory in cryptocurrency markets is frequently questioned by investors during each bull or bear season. In its latest report, the popular analytics company The DeFi Report examines why Bitcoin persistently follows this 4-year timeline and why the market consistently misinterprets this cycle. One of the strongest points highlighted in the report was that ignoring market cycles consistently misleads investors. It noted that those who declared “This time it’s different because institutional capital has entered” during bull markets or “Bitcoin is dead, it was all a Ponzi scheme” during bear markets have been wrong four times in…

Ethereum is holding near a multi-year support line, but short-term weakness keeps the risk of a drop toward $1,460 alive.
