Bitcoin price strength on shorter horizons has not repaired the daily bias The last completed daily candle closed at $80,154.09, below the daily pivot at $80,344.55. Live trading is now above that pivot, but an open candle cannot confirm a daily reclaim. That distinction keeps the main scenario neutral rather than bullish. The hourly picture offers a counterweight. Its last completed candle closed at $80,411.37, while the live hourly price is $80,744.00. The 15-minute snapshot trades at $80,728.00, above all three of its tracked EMAs. This is a genuine disagreement between horizons: execution-level strength is challenging, rather than confirming, the…
The settlement window is longer than a standard on-chain deposit. NAVI’s own app lists the Ethereum-facing product separately from its Sui-native vaults. At the time of writing, its listing for a $USDC High Yield vault on Ethereum showed a 9% APR and roughly $1,015 in deposits, while the native $USDC Prime vault on Sui showed about $5.7 million in TVL, according to the NAVI app. Yields and balances change frequently and should be checked directly before depositing. NAVI Prime and the Sui lending market NAVI Prime is a lending framework on Sui aimed at funds and professional investors. Crypto News…
Transaction fees account for less than 1% of Bitcoin miner revenue Bitcoin miners typically earn revenue from two sources: newly issued $BTC awarded for producing blocks and transaction fees paid by users competing for limited blockspace. When network activity increases, users may offer higher fees to secure faster transaction confirmations, boosting miners’ earnings. However, fees depend on competition for blockspace rather than the dollar value transferred, meaning even large Bitcoin transactions can generate relatively little revenue. This competition has remained subdued despite rising transfer volumes. Earlier this month, CryptoSlate reported that Bitcoin miners’ daily revenue climbed back above $40 million,…
The UTXO model, though pioneered by Bitcoin, has been adopted by several other major blockchains. Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Zcash, and Dash all retain the UTXO model, having forked from Bitcoin’s codebase. Cardano uses a modified version known as the Extended UTXO (eUTXO) model, which adds programmability for smart contracts while keeping the core UTXO accounting structure intact. UTXO is the accounting method that tracks available funds as discrete, spendable units rather than account totals and was designed to solve the double-spending problem, Bitcoin’s core technical challenge, by making every coin traceable back to its source without requiring a central…
Odagiu’s path to CEO began with a fight over who controls the $BNB standard board. YZi Labs, a firm linked to Changpeng Zhao (CZ) that was formerly known as Binance Labs, pushed for board control at the company in late 2025 and early 2026. At that time, it was still called by its former name, CEA Industries. YZi asked the company’s shareholders to expand the board to 13 seats and choose its own directors. An SEC filing shows YZi Labs owned about 9.4% of the stock, or 4,255,043 shares. It accused the board of the “continued destruction of stockholder value.”…
As a result of this persistent trend, these addresses have grown to 1,138,510 as of press time, marking a new all-time high. Importantly, this class of investors has welcomed more than 3,000 wallets this month alone, leading to the latest peak, while $XRP’s price has struggled. Of the current figure, retail $XRP wallets holding 1,000 to 10,000 tokens make up the bigger share, with 829,210 addresses within this category. Meanwhile, those holding between 10,000 and 100,000 $XRP have increased to around 309,300 at the time of reporting. Historical Performance These wallets have remained in a gradual uptrend this year with…
The ordinance was passed 6-3 by the Albuquerque City Council on September 9, before Mayor Tim Keller signed it. All existing Bitcoin ATMs must immediately stop working under the new law. The operators will have 45 days from the ordinance’s effective date to physically remove them. The city may impose daily fines, license revocation, and other enforcement actions against the businesses where these kiosks are located if they don’t comply. Bitcoin ATM crackdown According to city officials, criminals are increasingly using cryptocurrency ATMs to defraud more vulnerable members of the population, especially the elderly. Cryptocurrency ATMs are different from traditional…
PREDICT is the native token of Predict.fun, which Binance’s project note describes as a prediction market on $BNB Chain. Users take positions on future event outcomes; the futures contract, instead, lets traders take directional positions on the platform’s token. How pricing, funding and margin work The contract calculates its mark price from trades rather than from a spot-market index. Binance uses an average of transaction prices over the preceding ten seconds, updates it each second and limits each second’s movement to ±1%. If that window contains fewer than 21 trades, the calculation uses the most recent 20 transaction prices instead.…
Source: TradingView In essence, Bitcoin’s [$BTC] current setup looks like a classic pre-breakout setup. Despite the recent FUD and increasing oil prices, $BTC has shown strong resilience by holding firm around the $80k level, showing that bulls are coming in to defend this range. However, on-chain data is telling a different story, creating a divergence between the technical setup and the underlying market activity. For starters, there is a lack of bullish sentiment in the crypto space, with the Fear & Greed Index now sitting at 50. This is the lowest it has been since mid-September, when $BTC was sitting…
Overnight conditions have remained calm. The latest New York Fed SOFR observations available on October 25 put the Treasury-backed borrowing benchmark at 3.9% for October 22, up from 3.88% on October 21. FHLBNY said SOFR stayed at or below the Fed’s 3.9% interest rate on reserve balances during the report’s week. FHLBNY flags Canadian bank year-end on October 30 and cash leaving repo to pay mortgage-backed-security holders as forthcoming pressures. It says SOFR may test 3.9% more steadily. Calmer Thursday bill auctions than the previous week provide a counterweight to those risks. Bitcoin’s financing gives a separate reading Bitcoin’s positioning…
