In brief Mark Cuban said he has sold most of his Bitcoin, and that it hasn’t acted as the hedge against fiat inflation that he expected. The billionaire said he thought $BTC was “a better gold than gold,” but it hasn’t acted like it in his view. Cuban previously mulled the launch of his own meme coin, but now believes they are “garbage.” Billionaire investor, entrepreneur, and former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban believes that Bitcoin “has lost the plot”—and said he’s sold most of his holdings in the asset, during an interview with Front Office Sports.

A long-dormant Ethereum wallet from the network’s earliest days has been reactivated after more than a decade, moving 2,000 $ETH currently valued at approximately $4.23 million.

The U.S. Senate advanced a measure that could force President Donald Trump to seek congressional approval for the Iran war, while Bitcoin (BTC) remained little changed near $77,200 at press time. The procedural vote passed 50-47 on May 19, with four Republicans joining most Democrats. Reuters reported that the measure would end the Iran war unless Trump gets authorization from Congress.

Trump could veto it, and Congress would need two-thirds support in both chambers to override him. Kaine says Congress must decide Democratic…

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said the Ethereum Foundation will choose “longevity over breadth,” reduce $ETH sales and narrow its focus to CROPS: censorship resistance, capture resistance, openness, privacy and security. In a lengthy post on X, Buterin detailed that the Ethereum Foundation holds roughly 0.16% of all $ETH, well below the 10% to 50% he said it’s common for the central foundations of other blockchains to hold. Nearly 90% of his own net worth sits in $ETH, with the remaining roughly $40 million in onchain fiat already earmarked for open-source biotech, software and hardware initiatives, Buterin added. His influence within…

The rejection of the proposal would have catastrophic consequences for the network’s academic and development operations, according to the crypto mogul. “If this proposal does not pass, we want the entire Japanese community to fully recognize that Cardano…
