Bitcoin {BTC} galloped to a new record high above $110,000 on Thursday, liquidating around $500 million worth of derivatives positions in its wake, but some traders aren’t buying into the bullish sentiment.

Four US-dollar stablecoin issuers hold roughly $182 billion in US Treasury bills, an amount that would slot them 17th on the Treasury Department’s country-by-country league table. The amount in overnight Treasury-collateralized repos and Treasury-heavy money market funds would put the group between Norway’s $195.9 billion and Saudi Arabia’s $133.8 billion. Tether’s USDT tops the cohort. Its first-quarter attestation showed $120 billion in Treasuries, while CEO Paolo Ardoino told CNBC in late May that the firm held “more than $125 billion” and continues to expand. Circle’s May accountant’s report listed $28.7 billion in T-bills and $26.5 billion in overnight repos, for…

Nelson agreed that the evidence has been misrepresented and said, “Reads a bit…

The Bitcoin golden cross grabs attention for a reason. It’s what happens when the 50-day moving average of Bitcoin’s price climbs above the 200-day moving average. This is a strong technical signal that bulls love to spot. Traders rely on this moment (yes, it’s a literal “cross” on the price chart) to see when momentum might shift from bearish (or sideways) to bullish. No secret why investors watch it. The golden cross has become a common signal in technical analysis because it often shows up just before a surge in price. It doesn’t guarantee profits, but it’s a tool used…
