I’ve mined billions of dollars of entirely fake $BTC over the last couple weeks in Bitcoin Empire, an iOS and Android game that lets you earn real Bitcoin rewards for building out a simulated mining business from your virtual bedroom. Of course, the amount of actual Bitcoin that I’ve earned for hours upon hours of tapping the screen and watching interminable video ads is far less than what my character racked up in the game. It’s a pittance, really. But is it still worth your time? Bitcoin Empire hails from Fumb Games, the same developer that has already delivered a…

Ethereum price remains under pressure after a sharp decline that unsettled investors across the crypto market. Although Ethereum appears to be entering a historically favorable accumulation zone, on-chain indicators reveal mixed conviction among different holder cohorts. Ethereum Is In a Prime Accumulation Range Ethereum’s Market Value to Realized Value, or MVRV, ratio indicates that $ETH has entered what analysts describe as an “opportunity zone.” This range lies between negative 18% and negative 28%. Historically, when MVRV falls into this band, selling pressure approaches exhaustion. Previous entries into this zone often preceded price reversals. Investors typically accumulate when unrealized losses deepen.…

Karatage, a leading London-based proprietary hedge fund specializing in digital assets and emerging technology, has appointed Shane O’Callaghan as a senior partner and head of institutional strategy. O’Callaghan joins from Dutch market maker IMC Trading, where he was employed as global head of institutional partnerships and digital asset sales for the last year. Before joining IMC, O’Callaghan worked at crypto trading platform Portofino Technologies as global head of business development, and also as head of Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) for now-defunct crypto lender BlockFi. ”Shane didn’t join because it was safe. He joined because the opportunity is rare…

The U.S. House of Representatives voted 219–211 to rescind President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods, with six Republicans joining Democrats in a rare bipartisan rebuke. The vote demonstrates the growing opposition to Trump’s trade policies among his own party, despite the measure’s slim chances in the Senate and probable veto. Donald Trump has imposed several tariffs on Canada since his re-election. Last month, Trump threatened to impose a 100% import tax in reaction to Canada’s proposed trade agreement with China. “If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian…

Coinbase, the largest US-based crypto exchange, is backing a Federal Reserve proposal to grant non-bank financial institutions access to specialized payment accounts. The San Francisco-based exchange submitted a letter to the U.S. central bank advocating for special-purpose Reserve Bank payment accounts. It argued that these accounts are vital for modernizing the nation’s domestic financial infrastructure. Coinbase Challenges Fed Over ‘Restrictive’ Terms for Payment Rails Coinbase argues the proposal would grant fintech and crypto-native firms direct access to the Federal Reserve’s payment rails. This change would allow these entities to utilize the global economy’s core “plumbing” without the need for a…

As institutional adoption of digital assets matures, a new corporate playbook is emerging: treat ether not just as an investment, but as productive financial infrastructure. The shift comes amid sharp downward market volatility. SharpLink Gaming (SBET) — which saw its stock soar last May after adopting an ether $ETH$1,925.44 treasury strategy — has since plunged (along with every other of 2025’s hastily-formed digital asset treasury companies). It’s a reminder of the turbulence that continues to define the asset class. At a panel discussion at Consensus Hong Kong 2026 featuring Sharplink Chairman Joe Lubin and CEO Joseph Chalom, the two executives…

Crypto mass adoption could just be a matter of time, as older, crypto-averse generations eventually pass their wealth to their descendants, according to an industry executive. During an episode of the Milk Road show on Tuesday, Zac Prince, the head of Galaxy Digital’s banking venture, Galaxy One, predicted that as older people pass away and younger generations inherit assets, some of it could make its way into crypto. “I see a lot of stuff about how like younger people are getting screwed because older people are holding all the money,” he said, adding that a wealth transfer will eventually start,…
