Solstice COO David Plisek described the $47.66 level as a modeled senior-impairment threshold under the protocol’s current coverage structure and assumptions, both of which the team can revise. How Bitcoin holds the line Strategy has spent the past six weeks actively managing STRC’s price. The company announced a Digital Credit…

Turning that disagreement into a functioning market where people can put money behind their predictions is considerably more complicated. Behind every prediction market is infrastructure for creating the market, matching trades, managing liquidity, settling positions, and deciding what happens when an outcome is disputed. Until now, much of that process has been kept concentrated among a small number of platforms operating the market themselves. But as prediction markets attract more users and use cases,…

The narrative that NFTs died sometime in 2023 makes for a clean headline, but it confuses a price correction in speculative art collectibles with the technology itself. Monthly trading volumes bottomed out in mid-2023 and then climbed back steadily. By October 2025, $NFT trading volume hit $546 million in a single month with 10.1 million individual sales, an annual high. The collapse was real for profile-picture speculation, yet the underlying standard, a way to record verifiable ownership of a unique asset on a public ledger, never stopped working. What changed is who uses NFTs and why. The buyer paying six…

Many Indians still consider cryptocurrencies complicated and feel too overwhelmed to deal with them. As Mudrex co-founder Edul Patel explained, this cautious stance towards crypto in India is basically a lack of knowledge. According to him, the problem is not that Indians don’t want crypto exposure; it is that they do not understand it enough to feel confident owning and trading digital assets. Why Indians Still Feel Crypto Is Complicated? Edul Patel, the co-founder of Mudrex, a prominent Indian-based digital asset trading platform,…
