Earlier this week, bitcoin $BTC$77,126.32 formed a golden cross, a technical signal that occurs when the price’s 50-day moving average rises above the 200-day moving average and is conventionally viewed as a precursor to a bullish rally. Historically, however, that’s often not been the case. Instead, bitcoin has tended to generate much of its return in the lead-up to the crossover, before pulling back shortly after the signal appears. The latest occurrence fits that pattern. Bitcoin climbed from $62,000 to $82,000 ahead of the golden cross, which formed at the beginning of the week, and has since fallen from around…
“We don’t want to go through 2017. We don’t want to go through 2021. We don’t want to go through these massive fluctuations,” he said. The comments come as institutional participation and deeper trading markets reshape crypto market structure, potentially tempering the volatility that defined earlier cycles. Deeper markets could temper crypto volatility Bitcoin market data supports Nadareski’s view that deeper markets have coincided with lower volatility. A December 2025 report from blockchain analytics firm Glassnode and asset manager Fasanara Digital found that Bitcoin’s one-year realized volatility had fallen from 84.4% to 43%, which the firms attributed partly to growing…
What the Data Shows Currently, Solana’s trading volume is not reported, but the excitement surrounding the Alpenglow upgrade indicates potential for future liquidity and user engagement.

The Alpenglow upgrade represents a major step towards enhancing its consensus…
The Numbers While the broader cryptocurrency market displays mixed momentum, Coin Center’s guidance stands out as a critical regulatory action. As developers navigate the complexities of enforcement discretion, having clear legal support may encourage innovation and compliance within the industry. The ongoing discussions around legal frameworks will likely influence how non-custodial solutions evolve, affecting both developers and users alike. Coin Center is a leading nonprofit organization focused on advocating for the rights of cryptocurrency users and developers. The DOJ has jurisdiction over enforcement actions related to federal laws, which can significantly impact the operations of non-custodial developers in the crypto…
European financial authorities warned that an advanced quantum computer could undermine cryptography used to secure blockchains, saying the threat could emerge before the technology has a viable commercial application. The warning from the Joint Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs), which includes the European Banking Authority (EBA), European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), brings fresh urgency to a long-running question for bitcoin of whether to freeze or not freeze the BTC in legacy wallets. In the event that quantum computers one day do become capable of breaking bitcoin’s cryptography, roughly 6.9…
Bitcoin holds 42% share of first and second transactions. Source: Paybis Internal Data By comparison, Ethereum accounted for 10.39% of first transactions and 10.82% of second transactions, while stablecoins dropped from 15.29% to 11.83%. This means Bitcoin alone accounted for nearly twice the share of second transactions as Ethereum and stablecoins combined, which represented 22.65%. The consistency is particularly notable given the volatility cryptocurrency markets experienced during the three-year period. Rather than returning buyers moving away from Bitcoin after their initial purchase, the asset maintained virtually the same share, increasing by 0.46 percentage points between first and second transactions. Bitcoin…
Previous Intergenerational Reports also have not addressed digital assets. The latest omission came despite the Reserve Bank of Australia increasing its focus on tokenized finance and financial infrastructure upgrades earlier this year, while the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre estimated digital finance innovations could generate 24 billion Australian dollars ($17.1 billion) in annual economic gains. Despite the omission, Treasury’s separate report called the “Financial Innovation Strategy,’ released on Sept. 3, does address the link between AI and financial infrastructure.

Its 3.3 million $ADA fee total amounted to about one $ADA for every 150 $ADA in staking rewards. Reserve emissions supplied the dominant share of the reward economy during the period. Cardano’s epoch 655 supply page offers a shorter official snapshot. It attributed 108,500 transactions and 33,855 $ADA in fees to completed epoch 654. Spread across five days, that was about 21,700 transactions per day, or 0.251 transactions per second. Fees equaled about 0.339% of roughly 9.998 million $ADA in distributed rewards for the epoch. The one-epoch snapshot uses a different reward denominator from Bitquery’s 12-month staker total, so the…
