Strava, the fitness tracking app, is about to start charging developers for access to its API. The move comes as the company gears up for an IPO that could value it north of $2.2 billion. The new flat monthly fee for API access represents the latest step in a broader strategy to lock down third-party data usage. Strava updated its API agreement back in November 2024 with stricter guidelines, and this pricing layer adds financial friction to what was previously a free gateway into one of the largest fitness datasets on the planet.

Bitcoin’s circulating supply is about 20.05 million $BTC, or 95.47% of the 21 million cap, leaving roughly 950,000 $BTC to be issued.

Rapid progress in quantum computing has intensified debate over the long-term security of digital assets, as quantum machines can tackle specific problems at dramatically faster rates. Accordingly, one of the most important questions raised by the advancements in the sector is: Will quantum computers break Bitcoin ($BTC)? In theory, a sufficiently advanced quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm, which solves the prime factorization problem in polynomial time, could undermine elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) by deriving private keys from public keys within hours. Last year, experts estimated that such a scenario could become reality within the next decade. Earlier this year, Jefferies…

Lending protocol Morpho has launched Morpho Midnight on Base, adding fixed-rate, fixed-term loans to its onchain credit network alongside the variable-rate markets offered through Morpho Blue. In an announcement sent to Cointelegraph, Morpho said the offer-driven protocol lets lenders and borrowers propose their own interest rates, maturities and other loan terms instead of relying on a protocol-defined utilization curve. Loans are issued as fixed obligations, with terms set through competing offers rather than algorithmic pool pricing. Predictable rates and defined maturities are standard features of traditional credit markets. However, they remain uncommon in decentralized finance (DeFi), where borrowing costs generally…
