What is Core DAO? Core is a Layer 1 blockchain that runs Ethereum-compatible smart contracts and ties its security to Bitcoin. CORE is its native token, used for staking and gas fees. Its consensus model, called Satoshi Plus, combines three inputs: Bitcoin miners can delegate their hash power to Core validators and earn extra rewards.

Who Are Core’s Known Contributors? Core’s website names a small group of people. None is described…

Gruhn co-founded Digital Assets AG, a Swiss-based tokenization company that worked with German investment firm CM-Equity to bring digital tokens linked to stocks such as Tesla and Coinbase to crypto traders. Digital Assets AG was later acquired by FTX Group, becoming part of FTX Europe, which Gruhn led before the crypto exchange group’s collapse in November 2022. Those early products differed from the securities envisioned under the SEC’s new framework. While they offered price exposure to underlying shares, Binance’s stock tokens did not provide voting rights. Binance discontinued the offering in July 2021 amid regulatory scrutiny, including concerns raised by…

According to Peter Anthony, Co-founder and CEO of Perceptron, The structural mismatch between the decentralized acquisition layer and centralized storage has long been a bottleneck for the industry.

The integration serves as the foundation for Perceptron’s upcoming Data Questing Platform, which will enable contributors to actively annotate and structure data. With…

ChatGPT identified 2029 as its central estimate, although the timeline could shift depending on market conditions. A strong bull market could bring the milestone within reach in 2028, while prolonged selling pressure or weaker institutional demand could delay it until 2030 or 2031. What will take Bitcoin to $5 trillion? Reaching approximately $249,000 would require sustained demand over several years. One factor supporting the bullish outlook is the expansion of institutional access through spot Bitcoin ETFs, which allow investors to gain exposure without directly holding the cryptocurrency. However, ETF flows have recently weakened. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $82.4…

Exchange balances proxy for the coins immediately available for sale on centralized venues, and a large net withdrawal can reduce that inventory. The June 5 reading was about 32% larger than October’s, and a single precedent gives a hypothesis in place of a trading rule. Coins that leave exchanges can go to self-custody, staking or institutional custody, and the data leaves their owners and motives unidentified. Ethereum ETF demand moves the other way Farside Investors’ daily data shows US spot Ethereum ETFs had more than $1 billion in net outflows from Oct. 1 to Oct. 22, with 14 of 16…

By the Numbers Currently, Cosmos is witnessing a period of inactivity in terms of trading volume, with figures showing no recorded activity over the past 24 hours.

Cosmos is a blockchain ecosystem that enables interconnected decentralized applications and services. The LF Decentralized Trust workshop provides a platform for discussing crucial developments…

Source: CryptoQuant Bitcoin’s [$BTC] recovery towards $100,000 during 2024-2025 occurred when whales exhibited greater strength than they had previously. However, since recent mixed orders near $80,000, there has been uncertainty in regard to demand. Reduced exchange deposits may help maintain price stability.

Ultimately, stronger whale purchasing power may be able to absorb current selling pressure, thus providing better marketplace confidence and allowing additional gains. Bitcoin loss selling eases Realized profit-taking has cooled off since Bitcoin touched $87,000 in September, while panic-driven loss selling has…
