Modular blockchain Cartesi has given its PRT Honeypot app an upgrade – and so has Layer 2 dashboard L2BEAT.

A leading crypto analyst believes Bitcoin (BTC) could be headed for $147,000 this year, if one key condition is met. Pseudonymous chartist TradingShot, known for deep technical analysis of Bitcoin’s macro cycles, published a compelling case on May 29 via X (formerly Twitter), suggesting that the top cryptocurrency is poised for another major breakout.

In a late-night tweet session, the world’s richest man confirmed that his new platform will embrace Bitcoin because “fiat is hopeless,” though he failed…

The last time ICON (ICX) was making headlines, it was at the height of the ICO bubble when it was competing with Tron and Filecoin to buy BitTorrent in a high-profile bidding war. ICON, once heralded as the “Korean Ethereum,” peaked early in 2018 but later struggled to retain relevance amid fierce competition and a changing narrative. Now, ICON is back in the news, as it recently announced that it has rebranded to SODAX and is migrating its entire DeFi infrastructure from its own Layer-1 blockchain to Sonic, an EVM-compatible network focused on high-speed, low-cost transactions. Sonic itself is a…
