In an institutional bear market, a Bitcoin ETF redemption is almost aggressively boring. An investor sells shares, an authorized participant returns a large block to the trust, and the fund either pays cash or transfers $BTC. Its assets shrink while the shares keep trading near net asset value and the custodian carries on. Since the SEC approved in-kind redemptions in July 2025, the coins themselves can leave through this process without forcing the trust to sell them on the market. In 2022, the exit often began with a disabled withdrawal page and ended in bankruptcy court. But now, in 2026,…

Enlivex, a Nasdaq-listed biotechnology company, is asking shareholders to authorize up to $800 million of financing tied to the $RAIN crypto token. The structure could increase its share count by as much as 951%. Despite Enlivex’s biotech business, the financing is primarily a crypto-treasury transaction. $RAIN delivered at closing would go to the company’s treasury wallets, while substantially all cash or stablecoin proceeds are earmarked to acquire the token or support other treasury purposes, transaction costs, and debt. Only up to 5% of remaining USD proceeds could fund Allocetra. Shareholder approval is required for an initial $400 million placement and…

In a recent tweet, vocal Dogecoin member Mishaboar shared a reminder with the Dogecoin community. He reminded the community that no entity, fund, or enterprise owns or officially represents Dogecoin. He added that anyone implying or stating authority over Dogecoin might be pushing a misleading claim. In his words, Doge is permissionless and decentralized, letting anyone use it, build with it, or do whatever with it. “Legitimacy is earned, not claimed,” Mishaboar said, asking his X followers to “judge any company, fund, or entity by its track record, its openness and transparency, the real value of its work and products.…

Robinhood Crypto SVP Johann Kerbrat says the firm’s tokenization work is “just the beginning,” choosing to direct focus to the network’s technical infrastructure over issuing a token. The network is currently focusing on its new stock tokens, which give users access to 24/7 onchain versions of equities like Nvidia and Apple. Does Robinhood Chain have a token? Per Cryptopolitan’s earlier reporting, Robinhood Chain decided to deviate from the strategy of most networks and shipped without a native token. It is a permissionless, EVM-compatible layer-2 built on Arbitrum’s tech stack that settles to Ethereum and charges gas in ether. Robinhood’s focus…

The crypto market has yet to shake off the turbulence that has rattled it for weeks. The signals also failed to rule out a further decline in the coming weeks. Capital flow drove much of that weakness, particularly as stablecoin supply kept falling short of demand. Global M2 supply, another major market lever, climbed steadily without delivering the growth many had priced in. Can Global M2 supply lift crypto? Alphractal recently reported that Global M2 money supply jumped by roughly $1 trillion in a single week. China accounted for roughly 80% of that increase, or $800 billion. Other economies accounted…

India’s position as the global leader in crypto adoption is being fueled by its younger generation. Gen Z investors are now embracing cryptocurrencies like never before.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has publicly denied recent reports suggesting that the company behind the world’s largest stablecoin, $USDT, is developing its own blockchain. The denial comes in response to a market analysis report that claimed Tether was working on a so-called ‘stablechain.’ Background: The ‘Stablechain’ Speculation The speculation began when a market analysis report, cited by BeInCrypto, suggested that Tether was exploring the creation of its own blockchain network. Such a move would have been significant, as Tether currently operates primarily on multiple existing blockchains, including Ethereum, Tron, and Solana, among others. A proprietary blockchain could potentially reduce transaction…

In brief The initiative says it has scanned about 150 Bitcoin repositories and made more than a dozen vulnerability disclosures. The team is developing an open-source AI platform for auditing Bitcoin software. Developers say the effort is uncovering critical vulnerabilities across wallets, cryptographic libraries, and infrastructure. A volunteer security initiative says it used frontier AI models to scan 150 Bitcoin repositories and found more than a dozen vulnerabilities as developers increasingly use artificial intelligence to audit blockchains. In a post on X earlier this week, AnchorWatch CEO Rob Hamilton said the group has spent about $20,000 on AI services while…

Brokerage platform Robinhood remains atop Shiba Inu’s holder list with more than 39.27 trillion $SHIB currently held in a wallet related to the trading platform. According to Etherscan data, 39,273,242,865,360.9000 $SHIB currently sits in a Robinhood-named wallet, or 3.9274% of Shiba Inu’s supply, currently worth $161,805,760.61. While this figure seems significant, Robinhood isn’t the biggest holder of $SHIB. Another wallet contains a far larger $SHIB balance, accounting for 41.0441% of its supply. Shiba Inu’s burn address surprisingly holds the largest amount of $SHIB, with Etherscan giving this quantity as 410,433,377,893,806 $SHIB worth $1,695,089,850. A burn address is a wallet address…
