The first batch contained 3,974 Bitcoin ($BTC), about $329.95 million worth. The blockchain analytics platform described it as related to the infamous Bitfinex hack. Another transaction contained 657.92 $BTC, $54.55 million worth, 750.19 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), $62.34 million worth, and 24.89 million $USDT, $24.88 million worth. According to Onchain Lens, all of these coins also come from seized FTX/Alameda-related assets. Notably, some of the crypto went through newly minted addresses before eventually landing on Coinbase Prime. What are these seized assets? The biggest part of these transfers is Bitcoin related to the Bitfinex hack that happened in 2016. In August…
As shown on the daily chart, bitcoin initially appeared to recover from its Monday afternoon dip to $82,555—its lowest price in the previous week—when it jumped above $84,000. However, the cryptocurrency failed to hold that level, falling back below the threshold nearly three hours later. Price action then consolidated between $83,600 and $83,100 for several hours before a sharp sell-off drove it down to $82,807. After hitting this low, bitcoin rebounded to reclaim $83,500 by 2 a.m. ET before peaking at $84,545 nearly seven hours later. However, much like its earlier movement, the cryptocurrency quickly gave back those gains, trading…
What the Data Shows Currently, tokenized stocks are at the forefront of market interest, highlighting the evolving landscape of digital assets. Although specific trading volumes are not available, the sentiment surrounding tokenized equities suggests a growing demand. This is bolstered by recent developments in the sector, including upgrades and new offerings from trading platforms, which may further drive engagement in this space. Tokenized stocks represent a bridge between traditional equities and blockchain technology. Companies entering this space often seek to democratize access to investments, making them more accessible to a wider audience. The rise of tokenized assets indicates a regulatory…
The source of that capital is more revealing than the purchase itself. Lion is not simply putting additional cash into crypto. It is deciding which digital assets deserve space on its balance sheet, and Hyperliquid is increasingly winning that competition. Lion’s Treasury Has Been Narrowing for More Than a Year The shift did not begin this week. Lion launched its digital-asset treasury in June 2025 around three assets: $HYPE, $SOL and $SUI. $HYPE was designated the primary reserve asset, but the strategy was initially presented as a broader bet on next-generation Layer-1 networks. By September 2025, that structure had already…
Kalshi wants one oil trade to last almost forever Typical oil futures have a calendar attached to them. The trader buys exposure, the contract moves closer to expiration, and any trader who wishes to remain in the trade needs to roll into another month. This rollover business becomes boring until funds start bleeding due to transaction costs, price spreads, and poor timing of trades. In effect, Kalshi is saying: Why do this every few weeks or months? The contract it proposes would make one position last for ten years, while employing a funding strategy that keeps the price tied to…
The deal never closed. The agreement has a number of unfulfilled conditions. BitFuFu is now reviewing its “contractual rights and available remedies.” Options include terminating the agreement, arbitration against the sellers, clawing back payments and removing its hardware. The miner has paid the sellers $4.1 million in cash and has installed around 13,700 Bitmain Antminer S19 machines at the facility. Those machines produce about 1.57 exahashes per second and had a net book value of $1.74 million as of Sept. 30. BitFuFu is not party to the contract behind the conflict. The target company is, and it has not paid…
Other groups are slipping too. Transitions into 90-plus-day delinquency for Americans aged 70 and over rose 0.3 points to 6.3%, the highest since Q3 2011. Among 50- to 59-year-olds, the rate edged up 0.1 points to 6.4%, the highest since Q4 2024. Hupzy, an agent associated with Spot On Chain, described the data as a risk-off signal for Bitcoin, arguing that household credit deterioration alongside a hawkish Federal Reserve could weigh on risk assets while longer-term rates remain high. “For $BTC, the setup leans defensive while long-end yields stay elevated and consumer credit cracks widen,” the account wrote. “Direction is…
Why is CEA Industries surging today? When Binance founder Changpeng Zhao teased on X that “IPOs will move on chain,” speculators first linked the post to bStocks, which crossed a $500 million market capitalization, per Cryptopolitan reporting. However, the big news arrived when Four.meme launched BNC4, tied to CEA Industries, as its first 4Stock token. The $BNB Chain thread was very prominent in the rollout, as BNC4 launches on the blockchain and borrows the ticker of a company with a $BNB treasury. That hook appeared to have worked as Four.meme reported more than $2 million in mint requests as “strong…
In a recent blog post on Cosmos, Peter Glyman, CEO of Coinbax, discusses the implementation of transaction-level controls as banks begin to adopt tokenized money. His insights emphasize the importance of these controls in differentiating stablecoins from tokenized deposits. This discussion may pave the way for broader institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies in the financial sector. For more details, check out the source. The Story So Far The Cosmos network is creating a dialogue around the implementation of transaction-level controls, crucial for the safe integration of tokenized money into traditional banking infrastructures. Glyman’s focus on how these controls vary across stablecoins…
SUBFROST ships full Chinese documentation and a Chinese metrics page, and runs an official Chinese-language Telegram for DIESEL. In 2025, Chinese outlets noted that most Alkanes discussion on X came from Chinese-speaking users, many mentioning a popular Hong Kong wallet called UniSat. This year the company held a workshop in China, put Lee and RWP IV on a China stage, and took a booth at Bitcoin Asia in Hong Kong. The Onchain traffic figures are from a daily file SUBFROST publishes under an MIT license, with live charts at subfrost.io/metrics and the underlying series on GitHub. The company’s count treats…
