Buying concert tickets increasingly feels less like competing with other fans — and more like competing with automated software. Bots now flood ticketing systems within seconds of sales opening, purchasing massive amounts of inventory before real fans ever reach checkout. The result is a resale market that regularly pushes ticket prices far beyond face value. Thirty Seconds to Mars is now partnering with World to try a different approach: reserving tickets exclusively for verified humans. The initiative launches alongside the band’s upcoming A Beautiful Lie vs. This Is War European tour, where select shows across the United Kingdom and Germany…

The passage and implementation of the U.S. Clarity Act would mark the most significant inflection point in the history of the cryptocurrency market, according to a new report from Asian Web3 research and consulting firm Tiger Research.

Veteran Trader Peter Brandt recently weighed in on an X discussion which centered around valuation models and their implications for Bitcoin price. A discussion began on X stemming from Strive’s Strategist Joe Burnett’s X post that the Bitcoin Power Law model suggests BTC should be around $163,500 today. Burnett speculates that a major rotation of capital into Bitcoin is approaching. Bitcoin currently trades above $75,000, about 53% away from the Power Law model’s target of $163,500.

For over a decade, the narrative surrounding Bitcoin has been defined by its rigidity. It was the immovable object of finance, similar to gold. It was a secure, decentralized, but ultimately slow store of value. While Ethereum and other alternative Layer-1 networks flourished by building complex decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems, Bitcoin remained largely on the sidelines, serving as the collateral but rarely the engine. However, in 2026 we are seeing a huge change in this approach. The introduction of Zero-Knowledge (ZK) rollups and the maturation of BitVM have triggered what many are calling the Programmable Pivot. Instead of just holding…
