Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, has recovered to $61,700 after recently falling as low as below $58,000. However, it remains well below its all-time high. While the recent pullback has raised questions about Bitcoin and the market’s direction, two prominent Bitcoin supporters, Bill Miller and Michael Saylor, say the long-term outlook remains strong. Speaking to CNBC, Bill Miller of Miller Value Partners argues that investors are making a big mistake. At this point, Miller says that investors are focusing too much on Bitcoin’s short-term price and not paying enough attention to the economic environment that supports it. “The underlying reasons for…

Popular meme-coin collateral platform Purinta has confirmed it will soon launch a dedicated Shiba Inu market. Once the feature goes live, users will be able to use their Shiba Inu holdings as collateral to borrow funds without selling their tokens. Announcing the development on X, Purinta stated: “$SHIB market coming soon to Purinta. Deposit, borrow, [and] keep your exposure.” The announcement also featured a promotional banner reading, “Borrow Against $SHIB. Coming Soon to Purinta,” indicating that the feature is currently under development. Community Vote Secured $SHIB’s Listing The decision to add $SHIB came directly from the community. A few weeks…

Ethereum’s market dominance climbed back above 10% on Tuesday after weeks below that level, while the token outperformed every other top-10 cryptocurrency with an almost 9% gain in the last seven days. The move has rekindled bullish sentiment around $ETH, even though one analyst is cautioning that no single event appears to have triggered the latest rally. $ETH Retakes 10% Market Share as Sentiment Improves Data from CoinGecko shows Ethereum’s market cap at around $233.2 billion, with the total crypto market up nearly 2% and valued at just over $2.34 trillion. That put $ETH’s share of the market at slightly…

President Donald Trump announced on May 6, 2026 that Iran had agreed not to develop or acquire nuclear weapons, framing the commitment as a major step forward in ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran. The declaration, made during public addresses, comes amid a broader diplomatic push that has included military strikes, ceasefire proposals, and, perhaps most relevant to crypto markets, the seizure of approximately $1 billion in Iranian-linked cryptocurrency assets. That last number is worth sitting with. A billion dollars in crypto, confiscated as part of sanctions enforcement. It followed an earlier action that froze around $344 million in similar…

Cardano is approaching a major regulatory milestone that could significantly strengthen its prospects for a U.S. spot exchange-traded fund (ETF). Mintern, a prominent community figure and self-described CMO of Minswap DEX, drew attention to the development. According to Mintern, Cardano is on track to satisfy an important requirement under the U.S. SEC’s updated ETF listing framework. $ADA Futures Set to Meet SEC’s Six-Month Requirement Under the SEC’s Generic Listing Standards (GLS) for spot crypto ETFs, a prospective asset must maintain an active and regulated futures market for at least six months before it can qualify for a streamlined ETF review…

Robinhood Chain launched, filled with memecoins, briefly ranked third among DEXs, and the “Solana killer” talk started immediately. Then you look at the actual numbers. Solana has 27 times the value locked and 2 million more users. This is not a flippening. It is a fair fight over the wrong metric. Within days of Robinhood Chain going live, the comparison wrote itself. A memecoin frenzy sent the chain’s DEX volume past $3 billion in a week; it briefly cracked the top three networks by daily DEX volume, and crypto Twitter did what crypto Twitter does: it declared a Solana killer.…

There is a quiet but persistent problem in crypto and DeFi research: some of the most rigorous work being done — on mechanism design, trading agents, and decentralized governance — lands on arXiv or ethresear.ch and never finds a proper peer-reviewed home. It doesn’t fit cleanly into traditional finance journals. Computer science venues often don’t know what to do with it either. A new academic call for papers at the intersection of DeFi, blockchain, and AI is trying to close that gap. Key takeaways A peer-reviewed call for papers has been issued under the theme Economic Systems, Intelligent Agents, and…

Two key divergences show why Ethereum’s [$ETH] outperformance against Bitcoin [$BTC] may only be beginning. Notably, Lookonchain flagged consecutive whale accumulation, with one whale withdrawing over 74,000 $ETH and another more than 10,000 $ETH. The key detail? Both whales staked 100% of the $ETH they accumulated, marking a clear divergence from a typical whale accumulation setup. Simply put, instead of leaving the $ETH idle, they’re locking it into staking, reducing the liquid supply while signaling long-term conviction. Ethereum’s staking data only reinforces that trend. As the chart below shows, the validator exit queue currently sits at zero, while the entry…

Amdocs, the Nasdaq-listed software and services provider, is preparing to cut between 2,700 and 3,000 jobs worldwide. That represents roughly 10% of its 29,000-person workforce, with hundreds of those cuts expected in Israel, where the company employs around 5,000 people. The layoffs are being driven by a strategic reorganization under Shimie Hortig, who took over as President and CEO on March 31, 2026. He replaced Shuky Sheffer, who had led the company for eight years. Hortig’s mandate, it seems, is to reshape Amdocs around artificial intelligence, including the creation of a new AI-focused division. A pattern, not a pivot Amdocs…

Charles Hoskinson has proposed moving much of Cardano’s community activity from X to Discord as ecosystem debates continue. The Cardano founder said future community discussions and AMA questions would take place through dedicated Discord channels. The proposal arrives during a period of governance disputes, project closures, and renewed scrutiny across the network. Hoskinson shifts community discussions toward Discord In a post on X, Hoskinson said he had discussed a “great migration” with community member Phillip Pon. He stated that Cardano discussions would gradually move into moderated Discord channels. Hoskinson added that he would continue using X for livestream broadcasts because…
