Humans like to make analogies to understand new things better. It makes complete sense why we would look for one in the case of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a novel concept to most people hearing about it for the first time, and can require great effort to grasp fully. Using the phrase “digital gold” to describe Bitcoin is incredibly palatable, and even if you don’t understand the functionality of the network, you can know certain things to be true: Bitcoin is scarce, global, and a store of value. This narrative has worked well, ushering in institutional and nation-state adoption. The first…

In another addition to the old Wall Street maxim of “buy the rumor, sell the news,” bitcoin (BTC) has headed lower after the U.S. and China announced at least a temporary truce in their trade war. Bitcoin had been pumping higher since bottoming just under $75,000 in the days following President Trump’s early April Liberation Day tariff shocker. The price finally again topped $100,000 late last week following an agreement with the UK. China was the gorilla though and BTC nearly reached $106,000 in the early morning hours on Monday after the two countries over the weekend agreed to suspend…

BNB Chain has rolled out the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a new standard designed to help AI agents use on-chain data and tools safely and easily.
