The platforms span the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Panama, Georgia, the Marshall Islands, Kyrgyzstan and Belarus. They include BitPapa, A7 networks and more.

Bitcoin [$BTC] miners are in a tight spot as market distress deepened to levels last seen in 2019. The ripple effects could affect Bitcoin network security. According to Charles Edwards, founder of venture firm Capriole Investments, $BTC miner transaction fees have fallen to a 7-year low despite the crypto asset’s value growing 13x.

Miners’ total revenue is dictated by transaction fees and block rewards (which are sliced every four years in what is called halving cycles).

For the past year, Tether’s growing gold stockpile has been viewed largely as a defensive move. The stablecoin giant quietly accumulated around 154 metric tons of physical gold, building a reserve worth roughly $20 billion—large enough to rival the official gold holdings of some sovereign nations. The strategy looked like a simple hedge against geopolitical risk and growing exposure to the US dollar. It now appears to be something much bigger. Tether is preparing to transform that gold from a passive reserve asset into active financial infrastructure. Through a partnership with crypto lending platform Ledn, holders of Tether Gold (XAUT)…

Grayscale, one of the largest digital asset management firms, has released an assessment indicating that Hyperliquid’s native token, $HYPE, remains undervalued relative to traditional fintech companies. The firm applied a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of approximately 15x to 18x to the token, a valuation method typically reserved for equities. Valuing a Token Like a Stock Grayscale’s analysis hinges on the fact that Hyperliquid generates actual cash flow, a feature that sets it apart from many cryptocurrencies that lack fundamental revenue models. By calculating earnings on a per-token basis — analogous to earnings per share (EPS) in equity markets — the…

Netflix says more than $5.6 billion moved through Kalshi and Polymarket alone on the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. Reports state that CFTC Chairman…
