Bitcoin’s price has since climbed back toward $86,300, preserving the short-term recovery, although a large red candle accompanied by a volume spike at the chart’s far right introduces some caution. Support around $85,900 to $86,000 is the first line to watch, followed by $85,000. A close above $87,374 would clear the range ceiling, while another rejection puts $85,000 back on the ticker. 4H View: Bulls Hold Firmer Ground The 4-hour chart keeps the bullish case on firmer ground. Bitcoin’s Sept. 18 low near $75,600 preceded a run to $87,374, and the market has subsequently traded largely between approximately $82,500 and…

Amplification compares a company’s preferred stock and debt with the value of its Bitcoin. Strive’s own tracker puts its ratio at 51.4%, all of it from SATA preferred shares, with no debt, while Strategy’s is roughly 25%, putting Cole’s firm at about twice the amplification of Michael Saylor’s. According to him, the next bull run could see Bitcoin go anywhere from $400,000 to $500,000 by late 2029, tied to a US debt crisis that pushes long-term yields down and weakens the dollar, and he described that as conservative. The Strive chief was equally keen to play down any feud with…

Every financial operation that runs onchain is ultimately a smart contract executing. It means the speed of the engine running those contracts sets a hard ceiling on how much activity a network can handle. “Institutions will not build markets on infrastructure that cannot keep up, and they will not put customer assets on infrastructure they cannot trust,” said Avery Ching, co-founder and CEO of Aptos Labs. MonoMove, he said, is designed to solve both problems at once. What the benchmarks show Aptos Labs tested MonoMove by replaying real transactions from its mainnet and measuring how much faster the new engine…

Zhao told the Times he had planned to sell the tokens gradually and had not intended to destroy FTX. He said Binance lost $500 million. $USD1 Deal Draws Conflicting Accounts Separately, Emirati investment firm MGX agreed to invest $2 billion in Binance in early 2025. The transaction used $USD1, issued by World Liberty, which President Donald Trump founded with his sons. Zhao said he preferred Bitcoin, but the Emiratis preferred stablecoins due to price volatility. MGX said it evaluated several stablecoins and chose $USD1 for business suitability. However, The Wall Street Journal reported that Binance specifically requested $USD1. Zhao disputed…

First Up: Old Major Market LLC (Artisan Meats) A common complaint of merchant Bitcoin adoption is that the shop owners will liquidate 100% of their Bitcoin back into cash using payment processors like Square. This is true to start, but a fascinating shift occurs once a business owner reads about bitcoin. Old Major LLC, an artisan meat distributor based in Indianapolis, is a prime example of that shift. The Big Ole Update!! According to owner Mark LaFay, Starting in 2026, Old Major Market made a major strategic decision: they are keeping 100% of the Bitcoin they receive directly on their…

If even a slice of that liquidity finds its way into crypto, it could ramp up speculative demand and potentially catalyze another 2020-21-style risk-on cycle. Source: X However, to see if history could repeat, it is worth looking at what happened during the 2020/21 cycle. In December 2020, Bitcoin [$BTC] climbed past its previous $20k high and then more than doubled to around the $42k level by January 2021. This was driven by increased institutional demand, as firms such as MicroStrategy and Square acquired $BTC while PayPal and others offered crypto services. In the first half of 2021, $BTC climbed…

The Numbers Current market conditions reflect a notable lack of trading volume, suggesting that investors may be awaiting clearer signals before making substantial moves. The absence of immediate price changes indicates a cautious approach among traders, possibly due to the mixed signals present in the broader market. As institutions continue exploring blockchain options, the developments within Solana’s framework could catalyze future trading activity. Solana Foundation plays a pivotal role in promoting the Solana blockchain, which aims to provide high-speed and low-cost transactions. As the cryptocurrency ecosystem matures, regulators and institutions are increasingly focused on compliance and operational efficiency, making Solana’s…

Currently, Gemini supports native crypto assets like Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), Polkadot (DOT), Cosmos (ATOM), and Tezos (XTZ), among other major proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies. But no $ADA. Notably, there’s never been a public statement from Gemini specifically about $ADA. In its official listing policy, Gemini says it considers maturity, liquidity, market demand, utility, regulatory considerations, cybersecurity risks, and control concentration when evaluating assets for listing. But that’s not enough for Cardano supporters who’ve often asked why one of the most established proof-of-stake crypto assets is still not on Gemini. Charles Hoskinson’s years-long push Hoskinson has had fun ribbing Gemini about this…
