US President Donald Trump has increased pressure on the Fed to cut interest rates, arguing that falling food and energy prices justify such a move. However, sources suggest that if the central bank does not meet his demands, Trump may take an even harsher step and dismiss Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. Trump has long expressed frustration with the Fed, but tensions have escalated following its decision last week to keep interest rates steady at 4.25% to 4.5%. The president has appeared on Truth Social and in public to press for lower interest rates, saying lower borrowing costs would stimulate economic…

Another day, another massive crypto transfer. This time, it is Shiba Inu (SHIB) grabbing attention with a jaw-dropping 1.24 trillion SHIB – worth around $20.14 million – suddenly moving out of Kraken, one of the biggest U.S.-based exchanges. Blockchain tracking service Whale Alert was quick to flag the transaction: funds left Kraken wallet “0x6d0” and ended up in an address labeled “0x22a.” At first, the recipient seemed unknown. The wallet had only been active for three months, and its ownership was unclear. But deeper analysis from Arkham Intelligence changed the narrative. It turns out that the address is still connected…
Bitcoin was forged to be unstoppable in a hostile environment, but let’s be perfectly clear: surviving and thriving are two different things. Just because Bitcoin can withstand severe political antagonism doesn’t mean we should want that antagonism, nor does it mean we shouldn’t do everything possible to foster a favorable environment that accelerates adoption. Believing otherwise is a misreading of the core ethos. The brilliance of Bitcoin is that it remains permissionless and decentralized no matter who fights it—but that doesn’t preclude us from working to ensure we have the most beneficial conditions for its long-term success. In fact, public…

Marion Laboure, managing director and macro strategist at Deutsche Bank, stated that she viewed Trump’s bitcoin reserve move as nothing new, just a continuation of the crypto evolution that started last year. She also noted that many cryptocurrencies were destined to crash. Deutsche Bank Strategist Disregards Trump’s Admin Bitcoin Reserve: ‘Nothing New’ The policy pivot towards the cryptocurrency industry and the recent enactment of a strategic bitcoin reserve and a crypto stockpile in the U.S. are still generating buzz from the financial community.

On February 5, the Aptos Labs team announced that the sharded execution engine has enabled the Aptos Layer 1 blockchain to achieve horizontal scalability. This milestone allows Aptos to handle up to 1 million TPS for non-conflicting transactions and over 500,000 TPS for conflicting transactions. The ability to achieve infinite horizontal scalability is in line with the crypto industry’s desire for solutions that improve execution speed. Shardines is expected to accelerate the growth of Web3 by separating consensus from storage, allowing for independent scaling. This allows the network to maximize throughput and fully utilize horizontal scalability. According to Aptos Labs,…
Breez, in partnership with 1A1z, has released a new report investigating the use of Bitcoin as a payments system and transactional currency. Bitcoin has always been painted as digital gold, that is one of the longest running narratives at this point in terms of what Bitcoin actually is. It does capture the use as a long-term investment or speculative asset, and has been a very helpful aid in getting people over the first hump of basic understanding, but it is by no means a comprehensive explanation of what Bitcoin is. The report dives into multiple factors of Bitcoin’s use as…
A potential collaboration between Cardano (ADA) and Chainlink (LINK) is in the works. Both blockchain projects are exploring how they can enhance the development of decentralized finance (DeFi) based on the UTXO model. Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano, discussed these developments in a recent interview on David Gokhshtein’s podcast. According to Hoskinson, the Cardano and Chainlink teams are in talks to build a DeFi oracle solution beyond a single blockchain. The project aims to connect a wider range of UTXO-based networks such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin. The goal of this partnership is to create an oracle system that…
