Bitcoin’s price dropped below $67,000 this weekend, after a brutal slide that left it more than 40% below its October 2025 peak. In February, $BTC had fallen about 47% from its high near $126,000.

The most interesting part of this pullback wasn’t the price action itself, but the behavior around…

His goal is not to reduce the number of clicks required to send funds from A to B, nor help anyone to understand the complexities of whatever blockchain network they happen to be using.…

The Bank of England is showing signs that it may ease parts of its proposed stablecoin framework after strong criticism from crypto companies, legal experts, and digital asset advocates who argue that some of the rules could make sterling-backed stablecoins commercially unattractive and drive innovation outside the UK. At the center of the debate is how Britain should regulate stablecoins that could eventually become widely used for payments and settlements. While the Bank says the framework is designed to protect financial stability and consumer trust, critics warn that the UK risks falling behind the United States and the European Union…
