380 investors face Bitcoin mining losses after alleged $22M US scheme put just 13% into mining
A US-based crypto mining venture raised about $22 million from more than 380 investors, then spent just 13 cents of every dollar on its purported mining operation, the SEC alleges. The regulator filed partially settled charges on July 20 against Zan Shaikh and Bright Vision Distribution LLC, doing business as Mining Automatic. According to the SEC complaint, the defendants promised guaranteed monthly returns between approximately June 2023 and May 2025 even though the purported mining operation was not set up to generate those levels of returns. The SEC alleges Shaikh and Mining Automatic took in at least $20 million more…
The current Nakamoto coefficient of the Solana network stands at approximately 20 validators. The current infrastructure integrates the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for native management via AI agents. The alternative client Firedancer registered performance exceeding one million transactions per second in test environments. Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, seeks to consolidate Solana’s Nakamoto vision through a long-term development strategy he recently presented. The executive draws a parallel with historical constitutional processes to point out that achieving maximum decentralization will require years of continuous technical development. The same amount of time will pass between full mcp and Nakamoto as between the…
A wave of institutional buying is reshaping the Bitcoin market. According to data from $BTC Treasuries, publicly traded companies — excluding dedicated mining firms — have collectively purchased 166,984 Bitcoin so far this year. That figure is more than double the 81,153 $BTC mined over the same period, highlighting a significant imbalance between supply and corporate demand. Corporate Demand Outpaces New Supply The numbers are striking. On an average day, these companies have acquired roughly 912 $BTC, while the network produces only about 450 new coins daily. This means corporate treasuries are absorbing nearly twice the newly mined supply, a…
Wrapped Ethereum (WETH) recorded 113,000 whale transactions worth more than $100,000 over the past week. This figure is its highest level since May 2021, according to on-chain analytics platform Santiment. The surge indicates that significant capital is moving through Ethereum’s trading, lending, liquidity, and decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure rather than remaining idle in wallets. WETH Whale Activity Santiment, in its latest post on X, revealed that the increase coincides with several signs of rising demand for Ethereum. These include accelerating inflows into US spot Ether ETFs, with BlackRock’s $ETH products absorbing a large share of recent inflows, as well as…
Strava, the fitness tracking app, is about to start charging developers for access to its API. The move comes as the company gears up for an IPO that could value it north of $2.2 billion. The new flat monthly fee for API access represents the latest step in a broader strategy to lock down third-party data usage. Strava updated its API agreement back in November 2024 with stricter guidelines, and this pricing layer adds financial friction to what was previously a free gateway into one of the largest fitness datasets on the planet. What changed and why it matters The…
The Altcoin That Has Recently Attracted Increased Interest from Whale and Shark Wallets Has Been Announced!
Cryptocurrency analysis platform Santiment has reported a remarkable increase in Litecoin wallets held by large investors in recent months. According to the platform, the number of whale and shark wallets holding at least 10,000 LTC has risen by 7 percent in the last 5 months. Santiment noted that Litecoin’s price action hasn’t shown a strong performance recently that would excite investors, yet large investors continue to quietly increase their positions. According to the analysis platform, historically, long-term accumulation by whale and shark groups can be seen as a more significant signal than short-term individual investor sentiment.

Bitcoin’s circulating supply is about 20.05 million $BTC, or 95.47% of the 21 million cap, leaving roughly 950,000 $BTC to be issued. The next halving is expected in 2028, reducing the block reward from 3.125 $BTC to 1.5625 $BTC as issuance continues slowing toward 2140. After the final Bitcoin is mined, miners would continue securing the network but rely entirely on transaction fees, making future block-space demand central to sustainability. Bitcoin’s approaching 2140 milestone sounds like the end of mining, yet it actually marks the end of new coin issuance. Circulating supply currently stands near 20.05 million $BTC, representing 95.47%…

Rapid progress in quantum computing has intensified debate over the long-term security of digital assets, as quantum machines can tackle specific problems at dramatically faster rates. Accordingly, one of the most important questions raised by the advancements in the sector is: Will quantum computers break Bitcoin ($BTC)? In theory, a sufficiently advanced quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm, which solves the prime factorization problem in polynomial time, could undermine elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) by deriving private keys from public keys within hours. Last year, experts estimated that such a scenario could become reality within the next decade. Earlier this year, Jefferies…
