David Bailey, the founder of Nakamoto, said yesterday that the BIP-110 proposal will not be moving forward anymore, just weeks before it was set to go live. He made the announcement on X, where he called the failed soft fork “incredibly bullish for Bitcoin” and described the campaign behind its cancellation as a “hostile takeover attempt.” What is BIP-110? BIP-110, also known as the Reduced Data Temporary Softfork (BIP-444), was introduced in December 2025 by developer Dathon Ohm. The proposal was introduced to cut down on unnecessary data being added to Bitcoin transactions, which some say distorts the way the…

The Federal Reserve’s latest Beige Book shows a US economy still expanding, but only modestly, while inflation pressures are becoming harder to ignore.

The bigger issue was prices, which rose at a moderate to strong pace overall, with most Districts reporting higher inflation than in the previous report.

U.S. banking groups have urged the Senate to tighten the CLARITY Act’s stablecoin yield rules, warning that unclear language could encourage payment stablecoins to compete with traditional bank deposits. According to a joint letter sent Monday to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Minority Leader Charles Schumer, the American Bankers Association (ABA), the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), and 76 state banking associations asked lawmakers to revise Section 404 of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act before the bill reaches the Senate floor. The banking groups said the current wording does not provide enough certainty to prevent payment stablecoins…

Ledger co-founder Eric Larchevêque said a future where Bitcoin trades at $1 million, or even $10 million, may not be a healthy one. Wu Blockchain reported that he made the comments in a June 25 interview with When Shift Happens. Larchevêque linked a high Bitcoin price to stress in the global money system.

Scott Bessent wants you to know this inflation thing is going to blow over. The US Treasury Secretary characterized the recent price surge, driven largely by the ongoing US-Iran conflict, as a “short-term blip” during briefings in late May 2026. That’s a bold claim when inflation just hit 4.5% in April 2026, a nearly three-year high. Most of that increase traces directly back to energy costs that have ballooned since the conflict escalated. The case for “temporary” Bessent’s optimism rests on a fairly straightforward thesis: as US domestic oil production ramps up, the energy price shock from the Iran conflict…
