ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood made striking analyses about the future of digital asset markets in her recent appearance on a television program. Recalling how they were mocked for taking a Bitcoin position in 2015, Wood stated that today, institutions are no longer just spectators, but the game’s players. Wood stated that the sharp change in views of Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management company, was the “turning point” in the explosion of institutional interest.

Following the recent movement of funds to Coinbase, the crypto space has recorded a new wave of activity: another 50 million $XRP, worth around $71.5 million, has left Ripple reserves as per Whale Alert. If yesterday’s $108 million tranche was concentrated on U.S. infrastructure, the current route, according to analysts, is directed toward Bybit, signaling a global redistribution of the company’s assets. As with the previous transaction, the funds moved through a cascade of sub-wallets, which is already becoming Ripple’s signature pattern in 2026. While $XRP holds its position around $1.44, the market is again asking: is this preparation for…

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is moving to dismantle a stock-trading rule that has governed Wall Street for two decades. On June 11, the agency submitted a proposal that would rescind Rule 611 of Regulation NMS, the trade-through rule that requires trading centers to prevent stock trades from executing at prices worse than protected quotes displayed elsewhere. It would also eliminate Rule 610(e), which restricts locked and crossed quotations, along with related definitions. For most of Wall Street, the proposal is a market-structure fight over routing, exchanges, wholesalers, displayed quotes, and execution quality. For crypto firms and banks exploring…

A fresh dispute has broken out between OKX founder Star Xu and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao after comments made by CZ about Hyperliquid.

CZ said Hyperliquid serves a market Binance cannot compete in and added that the platform likely has strong legal advisors. Star Xu quickly challenged those remarks. In a post on X, he accused Zhao of sending mixed…

The company, operating through its AI subsidiary xAI, signed the Ratepayer Protection Pledge at a White House event in early March 2026. The commitment means SpaceX will fully fund the power generation and grid infrastructure upgrades needed for its data centers, rather than letting those costs trickle down to local electricity customers. What SpaceX is actually building The numbers here are substantial. SpaceX disclosed in a regulatory filing that it plans to invest roughly $2.8 billion in gas turbines over…

Bitcoin’s transparency was once considered one of its greatest strengths. Now, Ray Dalio says, it may be the very reason central banks won’t adopt it as a reserve asset, even though corporations and institutional investors have embraced it. The billionaire hedge fund manager, who is also a bitcoin investor, said on X that, “Bitcoin lacks privacy. Transactions can be monitored and potentially controlled, which is why central banks aren’t looking to hold it.” Ray Dalio has previously said he allocates about 1% of his portfolio to bitcoin. Bitcoin, the world’s largest blockchain network, operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer system built…
