Bitcoin surged to a fresh all-time high above $111,000 on Wednesday, as institutional inflows and macroeconomic tailwinds continued to fuel investor appetite for the world’s largest crypto. The rally, which has seen Bitcoin gain more than 18% since the start of May, was underpinned by steady demand for U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds.  Net inflows into the products have surpassed $2.8 billion this month, lifting total ETF holdings to over $122 billion, according to eToro Australia analyst Reece Hobson. “Bitcoin’s surge to an all-time high of $110,000 stems from multiple catalysts,” Hobson said. “Institutional inflows, particularly through U.S. spot bitcoin…

On Monday, Lithuania’s central bank confirmed it contacted Robinhood, asking for a full breakdown of how the hell these tokens, claiming to represent equity in OpenAI and SpaceX, actually work. The central bank told CNBC it’s waiting on clear information before making any decision about whether the product is even legal.

CoreWeave (CRWV) has agreed to acquire bitcoin miner Core Scientific (CORZ) in an all-stock deal valued at $20.40 per share, implying a ~16x FY26E EBITDA multiple, a steep discount to traditional data center peers, according to investment bank KBW.

While the deal offers CoreWeave strategic benefits, cutting over $10 billion in lease obligations and unlocking more than $500 million in annual cost savings by 2027, KBW views it as an opportunistic move, capitalizing on CRWV’s 295% post-IPO rally, the bank said in a…

The Tony Blair Institute helped form a plan that proposed selling land in Gaza via blockchain tokens, the Financial Times reported Monday, after paying Palestinians to leave their land. The tokenization project would have also seen the region rebuilt with Dubai-style artificial islands and “blockchain-trade initiatives,” complete with Elon Musk and Donald Trump-themed areas. The report was met with major uproar from Palestinian activists—one of whom described the proposed plan to Decrypt as “not just grotesque,” but “evil.” A slide deck titled the “Great Trust” was developed by the Boston Consulting Group, or BCG, the FT reported on Sunday, with…

The crypto market is bracing for scheduled token unlocks set to hit in July. According to data from the analytics platform Tokenomist, an estimated $3.08 billion in previously locked assets will be up for grabs.
