Introduction If you’ve searched for “mt gox” recently, it’s probably because the name showed up in a headline again — more than a decade after the exchange collapsed, a dormant wallet linked to it still makes news whenever it moves Bitcoin. To understand why that keeps happening, it helps to know what Mt. Gox actually was, how it fell apart in 2014, and why a bankruptcy case from over a decade ago is still, in a very real sense, unfinished business for the Bitcoin market. What Was Mt. Gox? Mt. Gox was a Tokyo-based cryptocurrency exchange that, at its peak,…

Bitcoin is at a pivotal moment. Analyst Gareth Soloway has identified $63,500 as the single most important level in the near term. Bitcoin rallied from its double bottom to $67,200 before pulling back to current levels. That pullback is normal and healthy. But the level being tested right now is exactly where the original breakout occurred, making it a critical support zone that bulls must defend. If $63,500 holds, the next technical target is $70,000. If it breaks, the double bottom support weakens with each subsequent test and eventually gives way entirely. The Macro Concern Zooming out, Soloway identified a…

Zcash ($ZEC) is climbing while most of the market falls, and the reason sits on-chain rather than in the price action. $ZEC rose more than 13% over the past 24 hours to about $618, even as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana all fell. That makes it one of the few large tokens in the green. Two on-chain records help explain why the largest privacy coin keeps outrunning the weakness. Zcash Shielded Supply Climbs to a Record High The clearest signal sits in Zcash shielded supply, the amount of $ZEC held in private pools that hide transaction details. That total has climbed…

How BitMEX’s March 12 Outage May Have Prevented a Deeper Bitcoin Crash – and Why Bybit Took Over
In the 24 hours starting March 12, 2020, Bitcoin plunged from roughly $7,900 to $3,600, shredding over-leveraged longs across every derivatives venue. At the center of the storm was BitMEX, the exchange that had practically invented the perpetual swap. Its matching engine went dark for about 25 minutes—a gap that, according to a veteran user’s retrospective, may have interrupted a self-reinforcing liquidation spiral and prevented Bitcoin from trading far lower. As recounted in the original report, BitMEX’s infrastructure defined how the industry built derivatives. Funding rates, mark prices, insurance funds, auto‑deleveraging—all became standard components, many introduced first by BitMEX. But…

Bitcoin price slipped below key support near $64,000 after a hawkish shift from the Federal Reserve erased gains tied to easing geopolitical tensions, placing the market at risk of a deeper pullback toward the $60,000 range. The bitcoin price fell from a June 17 high of $66,315 to an intraday low near $62,000 during early June 18 trading, marking a 4% decline. Price action stabilized near $62,500, though momentum remains fragile as macro pressure builds. The Federal Reserve held its benchmark rate steady at 3.50% to 3.75% but signaled a tighter policy path through updated projections. Policymakers reduced expectations for…
