$XDC Tech, the US-based institutional arm of $XDC Network, has announced an integration with Bridge, the stablecoin infrastructure platform and a Stripe company. The deal gives developers building on $XDC direct access to Bridge’s on- and off-ramps, virtual accounts, and multi-currency custody, without requiring them to build that compliance layer themselves. The companies are positioning the integration around payments initiated by AI agents rather than by people. “Every layer of finance is being rebuilt for a world where software, not just people, initiates the payment,” said Atul Khekade, Co-Founder of $XDC Network. “This partnership gives our ecosystem stablecoin infrastructure that…

Mt. Gox-linked wallets have moved 47,228 $BTC to Bitstamp-linked addresses, adding a fresh on-chain signal that creditor repayments are no longer just paperwork. For more details, visit the official Arkham platform. TL;DR Arkham-tracked Mt. Gox wallets show a 47,228 $BTC transfer to Bitstamp-linked addresses. The move fits the broader repayment process now underway for creditors. Traders are watching whether distributed coins stay in custody or move toward sale. The Bitstamp transfer matters because Mt. Gox repayments have always carried a market question: how much of the recovered Bitcoin will eventually be sold? A transfer to an exchange partner does not…

The American labor market is losing steam faster than economists predicted, and that shift is already recalibrating rate expectations across the crypto space. Private employers added just 98,000 jobs in June—the smallest monthly gain since March and a clear miss versus the 118,000 consensus estimate, according to the ADP report released Wednesday. The prior month’s reading was also revised lower to 122,000, adding to the picture of an economy that is decelerating more sharply than many had priced in. For Bitcoin and Ethereum, which have spent weeks oscillating inside tight ranges, a softening labor market changes the calculus. Central bank…

Why Applications Are Fueling Solana’s Growth Solana’s recent growth is being tied directly to the applications running on its network, according to Grayscale Head of Research Zach Pandl. The blockchain serves as the settlement layer for more than 1,000 unique applications. The network has averaged over 100 million daily transactions year-to-date, equal to more than 1,200 transactions per second. It has also averaged 4.3 million unique daily users and generated about $100 million in total year-to-date transaction fees. Those figures point to substantial on-chain activity across the ecosystem. Pandl said this week that activity comes from several categories of applications,…

Ripple has backed a new UK strategy designed to move wholesale financial markets toward tokenized infrastructure. The plan comes from the Wholesale Digital Markets Champion, Chris Woolard, who was appointed by HM Treasury in April. Ripple said on-chain funds, bonds and repo transactions are no longer limited to trials and can offer faster and cheaper financial processes. The company is among the industry participants supporting the government-linked taskforce. The strategy places the UK’s large capital markets at the center of the plan. It estimates that wider tokenization could add “up to £33 billion” to annual economic output and £14 billion…

Bitcoin ($BTC) fell from nearly $64,000 on Sunday to about $62,000 on Monday, and the primary trigger behind the move appeared to be a SEC disclosure showing Strategy’s largest ever sale of 3,588 $BTC. The fuller explanation for the price action can be found deeper in the plumbing. Sunday’s climb toward $64,000 was almost entirely futures driven. Net futures buying reached roughly $415 million for the day, capped by a single four-hour burst of about $687 million that force-closed some $33 million in bets against Bitcoin. Spot flows over the same session were slightly negative, and this gap matters since…

Coinbase CEO Says Hard-Backed Currency Is Missing From US System Crypto gained a sharper role in the fiscal debate on Wednesday after Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong linked digital assets to potential answers for rising U.S. debt. In a July 1 post, Armstrong argued that the U.S. Constitution lacks two core protections: limits on government spending growth and a requirement for hard-backed currency. Debt concerns anchored Armstrong’s case for monetary reform. He pointed out that the United States carries $39 trillion in debt and adds about $1 trillion roughly every 100 days. He noted that interest payments now exceed…

Bitcoin is showing “early signs of stabilization” as the price momentum exits an extreme negative regime, reported analytics firm Swissblock on Tuesday. It added that on-balance volume (OBV) is also starting to support the regime shift and “recovery begins with momentum, but a new trend requires buyers to follow.” OBV is a momentum indicator that uses volume flow to predict price changes by measuring cumulative buying and selling pressure. No Full $BTC Recovery Yet Swissblock said that it was not yet a confirmed recovery, “but if participation continues to strengthen along the way, the recovery signal becomes much stronger.” Bitcoin…

FBI Director Kash Patel failed to timely disclose a six-figure purchase of stock in Strategy (MSTR), the world’s largest publicly-listed bitcoin holder, according to a report by nonpartisan news outlet NOTUS. Patel supposedly purchased between $100,001 and $250,000 worth of MSTR on Nov. 21, but did not report the trade to regulators until May 26. The reason for the delay? miscommunication. Patel informed the Office of Government Ethics that he “inadvertently omitted” the transaction due to an unspecified “miscommunication.” According to the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, high-ranking executive branch officials need to publicly disclose individual stock trades…
