Now 12 years later, the computer engineer is looking to purchase the dump he believes the hard drive to be buried in, now that the site is shutting down.

With this closure, a solar farm is expected to be built on the land in…

Crypto whales sold MOG, PEPE, and TURBO throughout early February, following a broader trend of large holders reducing their exposure to meme coins. While MOG has seen the most aggressive selling, PEPE and TURBO have also experienced a steady decline in whale addresses, signaling weaker confidence among major investors. Although the number of large holders has slightly recovered, the overall trend remains bearish, with distribution outweighing accumulation. If this pattern continues, these tokens could face additional selling pressure, making it harder for them to regain strong bullish momentum. MOG Coin (MOG) Whales sold the MOG meme coin consistently for several…

Bitcoin (BTC) is likely to move higher as US Treasury yields remain below 4.50%, creating a favorable macroeconomic backdrop for digital assets, according to Standard Chartered head of digital assets research Geoffrey Kendrick. In an internal note shared with CryptoSlate, Kendrick highlighted that the 10-year US Treasury yield has struggled to break above 4.50%, a level closely watched by market participants. He described the economic backdrop as a “Goldilocks” scenario for digital assets — where economic growth remains strong but does not spur higher yields that could weigh on risk assets. According to Kendrick, stable bond yields and an absence…

The Solana X mob was awakened after Avara CEO Stani Kulechov accused the Solana DeFi project Kamino of copying Aave’s tech — on top of having a “half-baked” UI, among other things. Kulechov’s remarks set off a round of snipes on Crypto Twitter, but while his Kamino criticism may have been overplayed, his sentiment did touch on a real trend outside of the borrow-lend world. As Solana’s tech matures, some founders are starting new businesses based on old ideas that weren’t formerly feasible. The chain’s fundamentals —…

Following the surge of meme coin activity on BNB Chain, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has sent out a clear warning to the community stating that perpetuals on BSC chain might be a source of high risk and volatility. His remark coincides with a surge in activity around meme coins on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC), where conjecture is quickly escalating. Tokens based on BNB Chain are currently being traded with up to 25x leverage. Previous speculative cycles, in which sharp increases were followed by equally quick corrections, are somewhat similar to the current trend of rising meme coins. Perps…

What’s Driving the Drop in Ethereum’s Transaction Fee Revenue? Token Terminal highlighted this shift in the latest X (formerly Twitter) post.
