The slower 100-day average is currently close to $70,560, and the 50-day moving average is currently around $70,210. This positions the two nearly on top of one another. A bullish crossover would demonstrate Bitcoin’s medium-term momentum has significantly changed. But another rally is not assured by the golden cross alonem it’s a mere confirmation. Moving-average crossovers are lagging indicators, as the majority of the recovery needed to produce the signal has already occurred. Prior to the crossover, Bitcoin surged from about $63,000 to over $80,000. Because of this, the current price structure is more significant than the actual cross. Is…

“What a shift from four years ago,” Alex Cutler, co-founder of Aerodrome, said in an interview the morning the order was posted. Aerodrome is the largest decentralized exchange on Coinbase’s Base blockchain and the venue where Coinbase’s own tokenized stocks got their first liquidity in August. “This looks like they’re just dipping their toes in. But if you think back three, four years, I mean this is just incredible to see coming out of the US regulator. They know what AMMs are. That’s awesome.” What is already trading Coinbase put tokenized Apple, Nvidia, Meta and Alphabet shares on Base on…

It said LayerZero Labs failed to transfer a production authorization to the Commission and did not maintain proper control of a critical private key tied to a live FRNT deployment. The Commission ultimately concluded that LayerZero no longer met the security standards required for infrastructure supporting a state backed digital asset. It said the protocol placed too much responsibility on individual developers to configure their own security and could leave deployments dependent on a single verifier or a small verifier set.

According to Walkinshaw, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump invested in the project through an entity headquartered at Trump Tower. He asked witnesses whether the sons’ investment created a conflict of interest, given their father’s involvement in negotiating the deal and supporting federal funding. A witness agreed that it did.

The change gives former customers who were locked out because of their location a direct route to assets left on the platform as BitMEX winds down its operations. Users whose accounts were previously blocked on jurisdictional grounds can sign in with their existing credentials, complete know-your-customer checks and submit withdrawal requests.

The withdrawal-only exemption follows BitMEX’s decision to cease exchange operations at 04:00 UTC on Sept. 23, ending an 11-year run for one of crypto’s best-known derivatives venues. The exchange has continued to operate account and…

Today you mainly have to add a network yourself in two cases: with new chains that your wallet does not yet know, and with smaller chains, for instance a dedicated chain for a particular ecosystem such as ApeChain. There are two convenient ways to do it: Through the application: many decentralised applications ask when you connect whether they may enter the matching network into your wallet. You confirm with one click. Through Chainlist: the site chainlist.org collects the data of thousands of networks. You search for the network, connect your wallet and have it entered. What to watch out for…

At $79,200, Bitcoin was approximately 37% below the record above $125,600 reached in October 2025. The difference matters when assessing whether the market is still near capitulation or has already moved into a recovery phase. Bitcoin’s current drawdown is smaller than 50% Wintermute’s Sept. 7 update said Bitcoin’s major cycle bottoms had become progressively shallower. It cited declines of about 83% in the 2018 bear market, 77% in 2022 and roughly 50% during the current cycle. Independent price data support the broad direction of that comparison. Bitcoin fell approximately 52.6% from its October 2025 record at the June 2026 trough,…

Ethereum ETF inflows support demand The recent rally was fueled by massive inflows into US spot Ethereum ETFs. US spot Ether ETFs recorded six consecutive days of net inflows totaling $834 million. Sustained inflows can indicate demand for exposure to $ETH, although they do not establish where its price will move next. However, there are two on-chain measures that have preceded earlier Ethereum rallies: trading-volume averages and the 365-day market-value-to-realized-value, or MVRV, ratio. Ethereum’s seven-day and 30-day moving averages for trading volume have touched for the first time since November 2025, according to the analysis. This shows that bullish crossovers…

The deal gives S&P direct exposure to the security layer behind stablecoins, tokenized funds, and decentralized-finance applications. OpenZeppelin’s open-source contracts have supported more than $37 trillion in transferred value, while the company has completed more than 900 security engagements and identified over 10,000 vulnerabilities before production. The acquisition follows a broader push by S&P into digital assets as round-the-clock markets create demand for the data, benchmarks and risk infrastructure needed to support institutional capital on blockchain networks. S&P adds smart-contract risk to its institutional toolkit As more financial products move onto blockchains, institutions face an additional layer of risk around…

However, it may not mean that the new vesting transaction was made in anticipation of the legislation. The wallets entered the contract months before the Clarity Act’s latest language emerged, while World Liberty published the mechanism’s terms weeks before the wallets entered the new vesting schedule. On May 19, the six wallets moved 30 billion $WLFI into the vesting contract. The rules required that 10% of the tokens be destroyed upon entering the new schedule. The news of the new vesting contract was reported on Sunday by The Washington Sun. Additionally, the proposal that created the schedule was passed on…
