The outflows came as Bitcoin dropped 3.4% from $112,000 on Sept. 22 to an intraweek low of $109,000, according to data from CoinGecko. Solana is the…

This year, Texas’ legislature passed a law to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the state, opening the door for other cryptocurrencies in the future. According to the original sponsor of the bill, Ether could be the next reserve asset.

Each Spoke can implement its own lending rules and…
