Bitdeer has repeatedly sold its mined Bitcoin throughout 2025 and into 2026, a strategy that contrasts with some peers who maintain large treasury reserves. The company has not publicly stated a permanent shift away from holding Bitcoin, but…

Aave, the decentralized lending protocol, has partnered with MetaMask and Mastercard to introduce a new feature that allows users to spend their yield-bearing assets directly through the MetaMask Card. The announcement, published on Aave’s official blog, marks a significant step in bridging decentralized finance (DeFi) with everyday payment systems. How the New Feature Works The integration enables users to link their Aave positions—including assets such as mUSD, $USDC, wETH, and $USDT—to the MetaMask Card, a Mastercard-powered debit card.

A long-dormant early Ethereum holder, widely recognized in the crypto community as an ‘OG,’ has re-entered the market with a significant purchase.

The timing has since been pushed back as the agency weighs feedback from stock exchange officials and other market participants, according to the report. The framework would have opened a clearer path for crypto firms to offer blockchain based versions of publicly traded…
