Bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) extended their rebound with a second consecutive day of inflows. Activity in $XRP and solana ETFs remained absent, reflecting fading short-term interest. Second Straight Day of Strong Inflows for Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Momentum is building again. Not explosively, but steadily enough to shift the tone. Bitcoin ETFs recorded a second straight day of inflows, pulling in $117.63 million and reinforcing the week’s early recovery. This time, the leadership was clear. Blackrock’s IBIT returned to the forefront with a commanding $98.42 million inflow, reasserting its role as the market’s primary driver. Fidelity’s FBTC followed…

Longtime Bitcoiner and Block Inc. CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey has very reluctantly gotten onboard with the idea that the company’s customers are embracing stablecoins. “I don’t like that we’re going to support stablecoins, but our customers want to use them,” he told Wired. “I don’t think it’s wise to go from one gatekeeper to another.” Dorsey’s hesitant embrace of stablecoins isn’t exactly a heel turn, but it is a departure from his allegiance to the first and largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Dorsey is the kind of BTC aficionado who has compared the Bitcoin white paper to “poetry.” During…

SEC Chair Paul Atkins and CFTC Chair Mike Selig used back‑to‑back fireside chats on the Nakamoto Stage at The Bitcoin 2026 Conference to signal a reset in Washington’s approach to digital assets, tokenization, and market structure. Atkins described it as “a new day at the SEC,” while Selig said regulators are “turning over a new page” and need to harmonize their efforts. Atkins said the SEC is taking a new approach to digital assets and wants that activity onshore rather than pushed to foreign jurisdictions. He said the SEC and CFTC are now working together on digital assets and aim…

Femion Technology, an entity linked to the failed Zondacrypto, has filed for bankruptcy, indicating the domino effect from the collapse of the leading Polish exchange. The move follows the failure of its subsidiary TryPay to survive the saga. The latter served as the main payment gateway for fiat deposits, accounting for the bulk of the group’s revenues. More Polish firms fall in wake of Zonda crypto exchange demise The Zonda-affiliated Femion Technology filed for bankruptcy protection this weekend after its shares lost almost all of their value over the past few weeks.

Bitcoin prices fell below $67,000 on Thursday morning, dropping to $66,770 following Donald Trump’s latest update on the war with Iran. “We are on track to complete all of America’s military objectives shortly, very shortly,” the President said at the White House on Wednesday. “We’re going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks,” he added. The POTUS said that the US imports almost no oil through the Hormuz Strait and will not be taking any in the future. “Between threatening Iran’s power plants, saying the Iran War would last 2-3 more weeks, and calling out…

Already on a tear ahead of the war in Iran, Circle (CRCL) might be an unlikely beneficiary of the conflict. The stock rose 10% on Monday, outperforming other crypto-linked equities, with the shares now up by 86% over the past month, though they remain sharply lower since their peak post-IPO frenzy last summer. Japanese bank Mizuho said part of the Circle rally reflects the jump in oil prices following the escalation in Middle East tensions. Higher crude prices could reignite inflationary pressures, potentially reducing expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. Other things being equal, stablecoin issuers are thought to benefit…

U.S. lawmakers and White House officials used a Nakamoto Stage panel to argue that clear crypto rules will decide whether the United States leads or cedes ground in the next phase of financial innovation. The discussion, titled “Are We Getting More Clarity?”, focused on the Clarity Act, enforcement under past administrations, and the risk that political swings could undo progress on crypto regulation. Senator Cynthia Lummis warned that another hostile administration would mean “game over for sensible regulation,” framing the 2026 election cycle as a direct test of whether Congress can lock in a durable framework for digital assets. She…
