Onchain IP turns static, illiquid rights into transparent, tradable assets, letting games like My Pet Hooligan convert fans from passive consumers into real economic stakeholders The entertainment industry has long treated intellectual property like the paranoid owner of a rare painting, locked away in a private vault. It is extremely valuable, but static, illiquid, and accessible only to whoever holds the key. The traditional framework for registering IP such as movie franchises, songs, and video games is broken, especially in a world where virtually all entertainment has gone digital. Yet the underlying legal infrastructure that records ownership is still stuck…

Long-term projection models are once again being linked to Bitcoin logarithmic regression lines, indicating that a potential long-term move toward $400,000 is conceivable. Bitcoin’s high potential Although the number itself draws attention, a more grounded interpretation of the underlying model is necessary. A short-term trading tool is not logarithmic regression. It is a macro framework that charts the growth trajectory of Bitcoin over time, while taking diminishing returns into consideration as the asset ages.

Spark has announced that it closed the first quarter of 2026 in profit, reporting gross protocol returns of $31.5 million and a treasury of $46.1 million.

The Fellowship political action committee (PAC), which launched claiming to have more than $100 million from crypto-aligned backers, has reportedly backed out of an advertising deal to support Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a crucial US Senate race. According to a Thursday report from Axios, Republican leaders contacted US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on his connections to Fellowship, which has been partially funded by Cantor Fitzgerald. Lutnick, as the former president and CEO and whose sons are now in charge of the financial services company, reportedly faced questioning from Republicans about Fellowship’s support of Paxton, whom on Tuesday the…

Bitcoin’s price is still trading far above the depths of past bear markets, and that distance is now making the current moment feel pretty disorienting. Under the surface, a huge share of the market is already back in pain. On-chain data show that by early April, roughly 46% of Bitcoin’s supply was being held at a loss, meaning that nearly half of the coins on the network were last bought at prices above the current market price. Markets tend to get emotionally unstable when large numbers of people are trapped in losing positions, and the gap between what a price…
