Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin mining company Bitdeer has once again sold all the Bitcoin it mined during the past week, continuing a strategy that has seen the firm hold no Bitcoin on its balance sheet since February. The company reported mining 193.8 $BTC this week and confirmed the entire amount was sold. Bitdeer’s Zero-Bitcoin Treasury Strategy Bitdeer’s decision to sell its entire mined Bitcoin output immediately, rather than accumulating a treasury, marks a clear departure from the strategy of many publicly traded miners such as MicroStrategy and Marathon Digital Holdings, which have historically held large Bitcoin reserves. Bitdeer has maintained this approach…

Breaking Bitcoin’s blockchain with quantum computers may not be as difficult as once thought, and Bitcoin’s Taproot technology, which enables more efficient, private transactions, may be partly to blame, Google’s Quantum AI team said Monday in a blog post and newly published whitepaper. The team said the computing power required to break Bitcoin’s security may be far lower than previously assumed, raising fresh questions about how soon quantum threats could become a reality. In a new whitepaper, researchers found that cracking the cryptography used by Bitcoin and Ethereum could require fewer than 500,000 physical quantum bits, or qubits, well below…

Miami — Bitmine (BMNR), the largest Ethereum treasury firm, may slow the pace of its ether ($ETH) accumulation as the firm is inching closer to reaching its accumulation goal, Chairman Tom Lee said Thursday at Consensus 2026 in Miami. The company, which holds over 5.1 million $ETH worth around $11.9 billion at current prices, originally expected it would take five years to accumulate 5% of the $ETH supply, Lee said. Instead, the company held 4.29% as of this week, less than a year after launching its strategy. “At our current buying pace of 100,000 $ETH a week, we’re going to…

Meta’s quiet rollout last week of $USDC creator payouts in Colombia and the Philippines, four years after the company sold its failed Diem stablecoin (formerly Libra) assets to Silvergate Bank for $182 million, has revived the old question of whether Big Tech is finally coming for retail finance. The answer in 2026 is yes, but not from Apple, Google or Mark Zuckerberg. Singapore Summit: Meet the largest APAC brokers you know (and those you still don’t!)

Risk is isolated to the collateral allocated to each position rather than the entire portfolio. Eligibility is gated by state and customer criteria. Kraken framed the rollout as closing a long-running gap in the U.S. market, where regulatory friction had pushed leveraged crypto traders toward…

The cryptocurrency world is discussing not so much Bitcoin’s price movements, but rather the intriguing paradox between institutional adoption and regulatory pressures. Appearing on The Wolf Of All Streets, Alex Thorn stated that global banks are facing the “Innovator’s Dilemma,” suggesting they are conducting a strategic “delay” operation. According to Thorn, giant institutions like JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley are simultaneously establishing their own crypto custody services and blockchain-based payment systems, while also creating legal obstacles to stifle the industry through their lobbyists in Washington. Thorn summarizes the situation with these words: “Banks are currently both building things and obstructing the…

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that Ethereum whales have exhibited a behavioral shift not seen in the past year.
