Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) has once again shown crypto traders how slow cloud hardware can spoil even a fast exchange. It looks like the company’s AI-powered operations pivot strategy might have been its worst move yet. On Friday, the company said a cooling failure inside Amazon Web Services (Nasdaq: AMZN), helped trigger a multi-hour outage that hit trading, exchange access, and balance updates across its platform. The problem began at roughly 23:50 UTC on May 7th when internal monitors detected a widespread breakout of quote failures within the company’s systems. At that point, several Sev1 incidents were created by the engineers,…

Two Bitcoin charts pointed to key levels that could shape the next major move.

MIAMI, FL — The long-awaited legislation to establish U.S. regulations for the crypto markets won’t survive the Senate if it doesn’t include a contentious ethics provision that bans senior government officials from personal interests in the industry, said U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. “There will be no one voting for this bill if we don’t have an ethics provision,” Gillibrand, a New York Democrat who has been engaged in bipartisan crypto legislation for years, said Wednesday at Consensus Miami 2026. The inclusion of that section — aimed largely at the business interests of President Donald Trump — remains one of the…

Bitcoin has never finished a year positive after a start this bad Bitcoin seasonality is one of those market narratives that stays alive because the average is easy to screenshot. The problem is that the average often hides the only thing that matters: the state. A strong “Uptober” inside a healthy bull trend is not the same trade as a strong October after a year that spent the first quarter underwater. A positive December mean is not an edge if the median month is still negative. And a hot Q1 is not automatically a continuation signal if the market has…
