Under the announced arrangement, participants will build and maintain Workers: software that translates a company’s existing hardware, pool or system interface into MDK’s common language. Each company chooses the functions it exposes. An application can then use that interface rather than require a separate integration for every manufacturer. Tether says its QVAC mining agent already operates on MDK as an early demonstration. The announcement gives no participating-fleet…
Additionally, a fall in exchange participation could mean weaker immediate selling pressure from this particular investor group. Source: CryptoQuant Bitcoin whales move over $307M Beyond declining exchange activity, two major Bitcoin whale transactions introduced another development to the supply outlook of the market.

The president highlighted that at the center of this probe fallout was a “political and media operation whose sole aim was to damage the presidential office for coup-mongering political ends.” Milei declared that large press groups in Argentina, including La Nacion, used the case as a political…
Next-Generation Mining Hardware Seemingly Helped Offset AI Exodus Despite the industry’s pivot toward AI, advances in bitcoin mining hardware over the past two years have delivered faster, more energy-efficient machines, providing miners with a valuable competitive buffer. Today’s most advanced Bitcoin mining rigs can execute hundreds of trillions of calculations per second. Some models now surpass 1 petahash per second (PH/s), equivalent to 1,000 terahash per second (TH/s). Mining efficiency is measured in joules per terahash (J/TH), a metric that reveals how much energy a machine consumes to perform a given amount of computational work. In simple terms, the lower…
