Bitcoin’s Next Price Test Narrows Around the CLARITY Act The CLARITY Act has moved to the center of market focus as it faces a compressed Senate calendar, with regulatory progress emerging as a key catalyst for bitcoin’s direction. Grayscale Research said June 26 that developments around the bill could play a decisive role in shaping sentiment and market structure in the near term.

Galaxy Research has reduced…

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, believes the global economy could grow tenfold over the next decade. In a podcast with Peter Diamandis, Musk described the growth as a “fairly comfortable” outcome. He said advances in AI, automation, and space infrastructure will greatly increase global output by 2036. However, he noted that a conflict, such as a third world war, may derail that progress. His comments come as U.S. inflation has climbed to 4.2% in May, its highest level since 2023. Rising food, fuel, and travel costs are putting pressure on households. Geopolitical tensions and AI job losses are…

Analysis of Bitcoin unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) shows that investors are capitulating, a pattern that has historically coincided with bear market bottoms. The ratio of the number of UTXOs spent in profit versus at a loss has fallen to its lowest level this bear market cycle, said CryptoQuant analyst known as Darkfost on Saturday. This is the first time this signal has triggered since the start of the correction, “demonstrating that the number of UTXOs spent at a loss is reaching significant levels, reflecting the start of a broader capitulation,” he said. The metric shows that markets are entering a…

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has introduced a new idea to make wallet recovery safer without compromising user privacy. In a post shared on June 26, 2026, Hoskinson revealed that he is experimenting with a Cardano smart contract to help users recover lost wallets securely. The proposed system would allow users to recover ADA and Cardano Native Tokens (CNTs) stored in a dedicated pool by proving they own a wallet’s 24-word recovery phrase through a zero-knowledge proof (ZKP). Importantly, users would not need to reveal the phrase itself during the process. A Recovery System Built Around Privacy Hoskinson’s proposal revolves around…

A London court has taken a significant step in clarifying the legal status of Bitcoin under UK law, but stopped short of confirming whether a judge can order a debtor to repay a debt directly in the cryptocurrency. The case, Hussain v Fix, heard on June 18, represents a civil first in the UK, as reported by Forbes. What the Court Decided The dispute centered on a plaintiff seeking the return of 7.8 Bitcoin (BTC) for business expenses, citing a prior agreement between the parties. The defendant did not appear in court, leaving the judge to examine the legality of…

Spot trading was once dominated by centralized exchanges. That has changed quickly as DEX adoption continues to gain momentum. According to DefiLlama, total DEX volume across all chains hit a record $1.34 trillion in Q2 2025, with Solana accounting for 25%+ of the total.

As the chart below shows, Solana’s monthly DEX volume recently climbed to nearly $50 billion versus Ethereum’s roughly $35 billion. The gap clearly highlights Solana’s growing dominance in on-chain…

Fed Policy, CLARITY Act, and Strategy Shape Bitcoin’s Next Move Bitcoin’s move below $60,000 has renewed debate over whether the market is nearing exhaustion or facing another leg lower. The decline follows a peak near $125,000 in October, with Grayscale Research noting June 26 that bitcoin is now down more than 50%. The pullback has been driven in part by a changed interest-rate backdrop. Grayscale said expectations shifted after President Donald Trump selected Kevin Warsh, seen as more hawkish, over Kevin Hassett. With Warsh now leading the Federal Reserve and inflation still elevated, markets have moved toward the possibility of…
