According to a report by The Information, the US Treasury Department has sent a formal letter to the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, demanding full compliance with a government oversight program.

Bitcoin ($BTC) price has dipped below the ‘Fire Sale!’ zone on the Rainbow Chart, its first drop into this area since the FTX-induced capitulation in late 2022. The flagship coin fell below the ‘Fire Sale!’ territory of the popular visual tool for tracking long-term price trends and sentiment by March 31, signaling it is extremely oversold. Consequently, the Bitcoin price could have already reached its 2025/2026 bear market bottom or be very close to the floor. $BTC Rainbow Chart.

‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ Author Kiyosaki Names Bitcoin and Ether as Lifeline in the Boomers Crisis
Author of the bestselling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, issued another forecast in which he described 2026 as a period of major transformation for baby boomers’ savings. In his view, the traditional retirement savings model is losing stability, while U.S. government bonds are no longer functioning as a “safe haven” due to inflationary pressure. Kiyosaki’s main thesis today is built not around Bitcoin’s rise, but around the failure of government bonds. For decades, pension funds have treated U.S. debt securities as the safest asset available. BOMERS RETIREMENT DISASTER:In 1974 I saw the coming of the Baby Boomer Retirement…

On Monday, two research pieces about quantum cryptography dramatically slashed the hardware requirements for cracking private keys to vast sums of digital assets, including over a million bitcoin ($BTC) owned by Satoshi Nakamoto. By some estimates, the deadline to fork Bitcoin to post-quantum cryptography has accelerated by two orders of magnitude. In other words, both research teams described multiplicative, not additive, advancements to quantum computing. Although the two teams approached different layers of the quantum stack, their improvements compound. To summarize in brief, the number of physical qubits required to crack the elliptic curve signatures protecting the private keys of…
