How Bitcoin Redefined Economic Stability

On Monday, Bitcoin (BTC) hit a new all-time high price of $123,091, following the $100,000 milestone in late 2024. For those who have been tracking Bitcoin’s journey, this price level is not surprising. Over the last three years, it has become increasingly clear that Bitcoin lacks structural weaknesses. Nearing the end of 2022, the entire crypto sector was in an existential crisis after the FTX collapse contagion. But once the overleveraged actors were cleared out and Bitcoin bottomed to $17k, Bitcoin’s fundamentals only grew stronger.

Arthur Hayes says stablecoins will finance Trump’s 'fascist

As Trump prepares to flood the system with credit to prop up defense production, Arthur argues that the buyers of this new wave of debt won’t be boomers or Wall Street, it’ll be stablecoin issuers like Tether, quietly buying up Treasury bills with crypto inflows. To understand this mess, you need to understand where the new money is coming from. According to Arthur, it’s not about GDP, taxes. Trump is copying China’s model where the state guarantees…

ETH builders develop new POAPrivacy tools ahead of 10 year anniversary

As ETH celebrates its 10th anniversary, it brings into focus everything that the project has accomplished — enabling DeFi, smart contracts, and sprouting a vibrant ecosystem of dApps built on privacy. Summary Despite Ethereum’s success in DeFi and dApps, protecting sensitive personal data remains a major unresolved issue. One area where this challenge is clear is POAPs (Proof of Attendance Protocols), NFTs often used to verify event attendance. POAPs create privacy risks by publicly linking wallets to specific times and locations, exposing users’ real-world presence. POAPrivacy, unveiled at ETHGlobal Cannes, uses stealth addresses to protect attendance data and prevent on-chain…

According to some reports, the POTUS plans to sell US weapons to European countries, who will later transfer them to Ukraine. Trump, who promised to end the war in Eastern Europe immediately after becoming president during his election campaign, has had a rather rocky relationship with Ukraine’s Zelenskyy ever since he reentered the White House in January 2025. However, his most…
