A crypto trader has transformed a $44,300 investment into $811,000 after backing Pons (PONS), one of the fastest-growing projects on the Robinhood Chain. Wallet labeled 0x194 first made the investment when the token was valued at a $3.7 million market cap, acquiring just over 1% of its total supply, according to Arkham data.

Convicted fraudster and Nigel Farage backer George Cottrell had $9 million deposited into his Polymarket account by two unknown sources. That’s according to the Financial Times (FT), which reported that Cottrell’s Polymarket account — which has the username “GCottrell93” — received $8.8 million in October 2024. It received $7 million across five different transactions from a wallet on crypto exchange OKX, and received another $1.83 million from a wallet on ChangeNOW. These funds were used almost immediately to bet on whether or not Trump would win the US election. From here, the FT claims $13 million in winnings was sent…

The Bitcoin Rainbow Chart prediction suggests the cryptocurrency could trade between $99,143 and $1.16 million by July 1, 2026, depending on which valuation band Bitcoin ($BTC) occupies within the model. With Bitcoin trading at round $64,500 on June 14, the long-term valuation model places $BTC below even the lowest projected Rainbow Chart level for July 2026. Rather than forecasting an exact price target, the chart uses a logarithmic growth curve to determine whether Bitcoin is historically undervalued, fairly valued, or overvalued. According to the model, the lowest ‘Fire Sale!’ band sits at $99,143 and represents extreme undervaluation. The ‘BUY!’ band…

The closure of crypto derivatives exchange BitMEX is prompting fresh questions about whether the industry is entering a new phase of consolidation, as analysts point to market-share concentration and rising regulatory costs squeezing smaller platforms. While BitMEX helped pioneer perpetual swaps that became a cornerstone of digital asset derivatives trading, its daily Bitcoin futures volume began declining around May 2021 and never recovered to its 2020 daily peak of between $1 billion and $5 billion, according to data from CryptoQuant. Restructuring adviser Roshan Dharia told Cointelegraph the exchange’s demise reflects structural pressures facing mid-sized centralized exchanges, where liquidity has increasingly…

In the latest episode of All Things Markets, SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci and Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz predicted that the flagship cryptocurrency is poised to reclaim the $70,000 threshold by the end of July 2026. Both investors believe that macroeconomic pressures and upcoming regulatory milestones will be powerful catalysts for a price reversal. “Do you think Bitcoin can reclaim 70k by the end of July? I’ll go first and say that it will,” Scaramucci stated. “I just think because it’s burnt out and the sentiment is so negative that any incremental buying will lift it through 70.” Mike…

An address associated with an Ethereum Foundation grant has moved a notable sum of ether, according to blockchain tracking service Lookonchain.

Transaction Details and Context Blockchain data shows the grant address’s recent activity involves two distinct operations. The larger transfer to a Gnosis Safe wallet is a common practice for institutional or project funds, as Gnosis Safe…

Dollar stablecoins could improve access to foreign currency in economies with fixed or heavily managed exchange rates, but may also amplify currency runs when pressure on the domestic currency becomes severe, according to a new paper published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The findings come from a working paper by economist Brandon Joel Tan. Titled “Stablecoins and Fragility in Fixed Exchange Rate Regimes,” the paper modeled how stablecoins affect parallel foreign-exchange (FX) markets when official dollar access is rationed. The findings highlight that stablecoins can help people get access to dollars when banks or official exchange channels cannot meet…
