Bitlayer, a Bitcoin Layer 2 built on the BitVM paradigm, has partnered with three of the world’s largest bitcoin BTC$108,976.53 mining pools — Antpool, F2Pool, and SpiderPool — in a first-of-its-kind collaboration to accelerate the real-world adoption of BitVM, a breakthrough technology focused on enabling Bitcoin-native DeFi.Bitcoin’s ecosystem has lagged behind other Layer 1s like Ethereum for years due to technical limitations — especially its lack of support for Turing-complete smart contracts. Bitlayer’s BitVM paradigm addresses this by offering Bitcoin-equivalent security and Turing completeness without altering Bitcoin’s core protocol or compromising its foundational design. But turning that vision into reality…
A trader who was convicted of manipulating Solana-based decentralized exchange Mango Markets to pinch $110 million in crypto had his conviction overturned on Friday. A jury last year convicted Avraham Eisenberg on counts of commodities fraud, commodities manipulation and wire fraud after he exploited the DeFi app, the sort that allows for the trading and lending of crypto assets without third-party intermediaries such as banks. Eisenberg exploited a feature in the decentralized exchange—or DEX—that allowed him to artificially pump his collateral to trick the protocol into allowing him to “borrow” $110 million in crypto. But a U.S. judge on Friday…
Ethereum could be on the verge of a strong bullish breakout as on-chain data shows increasing whale accumulation and a rare chart pattern signals further upside. Ethereum (ETH) was trading at $2,545 on Monday, hovering around this level for the past few days. This price is about 7% below its monthly high. There are signs that large investors expect Ethereum to rebound in the coming months. On-chain data shows that the supply of ETH held by whales has been rising steadily. These addresses now hold 103.5 million ETH, up from 102 million on March 1, an increase of nearly 1.5%,…
Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of the defunct crypto exchange FTX, could be released from prison in December 2044, more than four years earlier than his original sentence called for, according to Business Insider. Convicted in 2023 on seven counts of fraud and conspiracy, Bankman-Fried received a 25-year sentence in March 2024 for orchestrating an $11 billion fraud. Prosecutors showed that he funneled customer funds from FTX into Alameda Research, his crypto hedge fund, using the money to prop up investments, make political donations, and enrich himself and close associates. After his sentencing, Bankman-Fried was transferred to a…
Civitai, the world’s biggest repository of generative AI models, introduced crypto payments this month after losing its credit card processor over AI-generated explicit content, offering support to purchase Buzz—the platform’s virtual, non-Web3 tokens. The AI model-sharing site now accepts USDC, USDT, Litecoin, Ethereum, TRON, Solana, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu through payment processor NowPayments. Bitcoin was excluded due to high transaction fees. “We’re excited to introduce crypto payments for Buzz. This gives you a secure and convenient way to get the Buzz you need,” Civitai wrote in its implementation guide, published on May 22. The platform recommends USDC on the Base…
Solana’s speed gets people talking, but scaling hasn’t always been smooth. It’s growing fast, sometimes too fast for its own good. When demand spikes, network congestion and rising fees leave users waiting. Or worse, priced out. That’s what Firedancer is supposed to solve. This new validator client promises a huge leap forward. It’s gunning for 1 million transactions per second. The goal is to keep Solana usable and affordable for everyone as activity ramps up. If you’ve noticed how some other networks lag under pressure, you’ll know why this matters. Solana Firedancer aims to solve the old bottlenecks and unlock…

Bitcoin’s price jumped over 12% last week to reach $96,500, surpassing the average purchase price of “short-term whales”—large holders who bought Bitcoin within the last six months. CryptoQuant analyst JA Maartunn told BeInCrypto that these whales have reclaimed their break-even level of $90,890. It means they are now in profit and less likely to sell, which adds stability to the market. Short-Term Bitcoin Whales Return to Profit Short-term whales are addresses that have held Bitcoin for under six months. These whales are now sitting in aggregate profit as BTC outpaces their average realized price. Historically, when these participants cross into…
In 2025, Ethereum (ETH) experienced a significant surge in smart contract deployment activity. The number of contracts deployed daily has reached levels not seen since 2021. This marks a strong revival in the Ethereum ecosystem, one of the world’s leading blockchain platforms. It also strengthens bullish predictions for ETH’s price, raising the question: Can Ethereum reclaim its all-time high from 2021? What Could Drive Ethereum to $10,000? According to Etherscan data, the number of smart contracts deployed daily on Ethereum has skyrocketed since the start of the year. The chart shows that in Q1 2025, daily deployments reached the highest…
