Trading Details and Launch Date Trading went live on September 23, 2026, and it runs nonstop. Unlike traditional stock markets that close for weekends and holidays, MOONSHOTUSDT trades 24/7 on KuCoin, giving traders continuous access to a market…

The Coinbase CEO explained why he believes the bottom might be in for Bitcoin, citing the Bitcoin price cycle: “If you follow crypto, it typically will go through these 4-year-ish cycles. There’ll be a run-up, some euphoria, there’ll be a down period. Most of the down periods last about a year. We’ve actually just come across the 1-year mark for this down period. I personally believe that the bottom is in on Bitcoin in this most recent cycle.” Armstrong added further basis for why he thinks Bitcoin might have hit a bottom in this current cycle, citing its sustained rise…

Hyperliquid [HYPE] and Chainlink [LINK] recorded smaller inflows of $1.03 million and $2.19 million, respectively. On the contrary, $XRP was the only asset with outflows of around $43.70K, hinting at relatively weaker flows for $XRP during the period. Source: SoSo Value Balchunas applauds ETFs’ success rate This surge in inflows also got Bloomberg’s Senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas saying, ETFs have now surpassed last year’s record flows of $1.5T with 3.5mo to spare. Source: Eric Balchunas/X To put that growth into perspective, Balchunas claimed that around 20 years ago, when he started covering ETFs, $100 billion in annual flows was…

The math behind the CLARITY Act 11-vote gap The Sept. 15 cloture vote needed 60 votes to succeed and got 49, with one senator not voting, leaving supporters 11 short. Losing any of the four senators identified in the amendment would raise that number. If all four switched to “No” on a future vote, the “Yes” total would fall to 45, and the gap would grow to 15. That scenario is a hypothetical built purely from the arithmetic, since signing an amendment records a policy position on paper. Moran and Susan Collins also appear on the amendment, and both already…

Shortly after the spin-off, Robinhood took an equity stake in OG.com as part of a multi-year deal to use its CFTC-regulated derivatives exchange and clearinghouse for prediction markets. Unlike traditional futures contracts, perpetual futures, or “perps,” have no expiration date, allowing traders to maintain exposure without periodically rolling into new contracts.

He Introduced a 256-Qubit Quantum Computer! At this point, IonQ, a US-based quantum computing company, introduced its “Superion 256” quantum computer with a 256-qubit processor in its latest report. However, it was clarified that Superion 256 is not at a level that could instantly compromise Bitcoin’s security. According to the company’s research, breaking the secp256k1 elliptic curve used by Bitcoin requires 19,397 physical qubits. In this case, a fault-tolerant quantum computer with approximately 19,397 physical qubits could break the secp256k1 elliptic curve used by Bitcoin in about 25.7 days. According to the study, for a quantum attack to practically translate…

What the 1% crypto capital cap captures The draft regulation reaches beyond coins held outright. Its numerator includes direct and indirect investments, derivatives tied to crypto prices, and instruments such as loans, bonds, guarantees, repos and credit lines when their settlement or value depends on crypto or foreign digital instruments. Banks would receive limited recognition for hedges. Long and short positions may be netted only within the draft’s qualifying lower-risk category, which imposes conditions tied to the asset, settlement and maturity as well as freezing and liquidity risk. Direct holdings and other higher-risk exposures are measured more conservatively and cannot…

A small but useful update for Shibarium.Its RPC listing has been refreshed in the ethereum-lists/chains registry, with updated connection details now available on Chainlist.Connecting to Shibarium? Find the network settings here:https://t.co/VReDcGBewn — Shib (@Shibtoken) September 14, 2026 The update was necessitated after Shibarium migrated its public RPC, and this entry was never updated; the endpoint listed was thus no longer resolving. In late 2025, old public RPC endpoints connecting to Shibarium were shut down as part of a migration to a new official, more stable, and decentralized RPC infrastructure. However, since the migration, this change had not been reflected in…

The cryptocurrency link arose with Iza. The prosecution alleged that Au used approximately $16 million of dirty money to buy cryptocurrency for Iza. U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson also ordered Au to pay $1.48 million in restitution and forfeit luxury and high-performance cars, designer handbags, three “Godfather” sculptures, and other assets. Shell companies and cash to sheriff’s deputies Prosecutors said Au played a central role in moving Iza’s money. At his direction, she created shell companies and opened bank accounts in their names. About $1 million, mostly in cash, was then paid to active Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies…
