io.net, the decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) focused on GPU computing, has announced a significant update to its tokenomics on its third anniversary. The project introduced the Incentive Dynamic Engine (IDE), a new model designed to dynamically adjust the supply of its native IO token based on real-time network usage. The most immediate outcome of this mechanism is a planned permanent burn of at least 12 million IO tokens over the next twelve months. How the Incentive Dynamic Engine Works The IDE represents a shift from static tokenomics to a system that responds to supply and demand within the io.net…
A week ago, Ethereum ($ETH) broke above its $1,842-$1,868 resistance line, flipping it into the new support line. Technical analysis on weekly time frames in a multi-month period suggested an uptrend to $2,163, with key resistance levels at $1,900 and $2,000. Ethereum retesting a new support zone In the last 24 hours, Ethereum briefly pulled back below the support line, then once again recovered to trade above it. At press time, the price of $ETH was $1,904, as the coin gained 2.35% in that time period. Source: CoinMarketCap If buyers outnumber sellers, they can defend this recovery, and we will…
A fintech company that started by refinancing student loans just became the first US national bank to put a stablecoin directly into a consumer banking app. SoFi Technologies launched SoFiUSD on May 27, giving its approximately 14.7 million members the ability to buy, sell, and hold the token without ever leaving the SoFi app. The stablecoin is issued by SoFi Bank, N.A., which is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. That makes SoFiUSD a fundamentally different animal from Tether or even Circle’s USDC: it’s a dollar-pegged token issued by a chartered national bank, not a standalone…
A previously unknown address has withdrawn approximately 1% of the total Zcash ($ZEC) supply from the protocol’s Orchard privacy pool, according to blockchain monitoring service Arkham Monitor. The transaction, which represents roughly 388,000 $ZEC, was executed from the pool that theoretically holds around 3.88 million $ZEC, valued at approximately $1.65 billion at current market prices. What the Orchard Pool Withdrawal Means The Orchard pool is a core component of Zcash’s privacy architecture, designed to enable shielded transactions that obscure sender, recipient, and amount details. A withdrawal of this magnitude is unusual, as large movements from privacy pools often attract scrutiny…
Bitcoin [$BTC] is likely to experience a bearish second half of the year 2026. It was already battling at the $60k psychological level. There was reason to believe that the 3.1% price bounce of the past 24 hours was driven more by deleveraging than by aggressive spot buying. Crypto analyst Axel Adler Jr. explained this idea in a post on X. The idea aligned with the broader onchain metrics, which suggested we have not reached conditions that mirror historical cycle bottoms but are just on the way there. The “post-halving cooling phase” scenario was one AMBCrypto reported on recently. Liquidity…
Wrapped Ethereum’s whale transaction count has just breached a level untouched for half a decade. According to the Santiment update, the WETH network recorded 113,000 transactions exceeding $100,000 in the past seven days—the highest since May 2021. The number is not just a statistical curiosity. WETH functions as the plumbing for Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem, and a spike of this magnitude suggests serious capital is moving through trading, lending, and liquidity rails, not parking idly in cold storage. The market backdrop makes the signal even harder to dismiss. U.S. spot Ether ETFs have been absorbing accelerated inflows, with BlackRock’s $ETH products…
Public miners have dumped Bitcoin at a record pace, hashprice has collapsed to post-halving lows, and older machines are switching off. That is the textbook definition of capitulation. The harder question is whether it marks a bottom or the start of a deeper shakeout. Bitcoin miners are supposed to be the market’s most committed holders, the operators who spend real money to produce coins and who have every incentive to keep them. So when miners start dumping Bitcoin at a record pace and switching off machines, the market pays attention, because it usually means something has broken in the economics…
An Ethereum address that had remained inactive for nearly a year has suddenly transferred a significant amount of the cryptocurrency to a known market maker, reigniting discussions about large holder behavior and potential market impact. Whale Resurfaces After 11 Months On-chain data shows that an Ethereum whale address, beginning with 0xaE0, moved 9,000 $ETH—worth approximately $17.19 million at current prices—to Cumberland, a prominent crypto market maker and over-the-counter (OTC) trading platform. The transaction occurred about an hour ago, according to blockchain records. The address had been dormant for 11 months. Its last recorded activity involved depositing 50,000 $ETH, valued at…
Pro-crypto Florida candidate Michael Carbonara sells 10 Bitcoin for $800K to fund his campaign: Report
Republican congressional hopeful Michael Carbonara has sold part of his Bitcoin holdings to help finance his campaign in Florida’s 22nd Congressional District, Decrypt reported Saturday. According to the report, Carbonara converted 10 Bitcoin into approximately $800,000 worth of USDC this month. The entrepreneur, who founded digital payments company Ibanera, has largely self-funded his campaign through personal loans and asset sales. Prior to recent redistricting changes, Carbonara had raised funds at a pace comparable to several established political figures, including Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Carbonara has built a diverse venture portfolio spanning fintech, digital payments, and crypto data centers. The entrepreneur established…
