A Duke University finance professor, Campbell Harvey, has said that a 51% attack on Bitcoin, long dismissed as a theoretical exercise that would only destroy value for whoever tried it, has quietly become something an attacker could profit from because of today’s derivatives markets.

South Korea’s KOSPI index fell 8.95% on July 13 after an intraday circuit breaker was triggered, with chipmaker SK Hynix dropping more than 15%.

Coinbase is still trying to make on-chain activity feel less like a specialist task. Its latest Smart Wallet verification upgrade fits that broader effort, targeting a problem that becomes more obvious every time users move between chains: dApp authorization is still too confusing. The average user does not want to think about signatures, chain contexts,…

Bridge security is one of those crypto topics that only gets attention when something breaks. Mantle’s decision to migrate Super Portal infrastructure to Chainlink CCIP is a reminder that serious networks cannot afford to treat cross-chain transfers as an afterthought. The reason is simple: bridges have historically been among the most expensive failure points in…

It has been three years since Judge Analisa Torres delivered her landmark ruling that Ripple’s programmatic sales of XRP on crypto exchanges did not constitute securities transactions. This decision remains one of the most important legal moments in the history of the industry that had long been vilified by regulators. Issued on July 13, 2023,…

Solana’s growth story is often told through speed, fees, and developer momentum. Address growth adds another layer, but it needs to be read carefully. A higher wallet count can be encouraging, yet it does not automatically prove that a network has deeper economic activity. That is the right way to look at the current Solana…

Dogecoin is back in one of those awkward areas where both bulls and bears can make a case. Price has cooled into support rather than collapsing, which gives buyers something to defend. But it has not yet produced the kind of clean breakout that would make the next leg obvious. That is why the current…

Ethereum’s market setup is getting more interesting because the loudest bullish catalyst is already visible. Spot ETF launches are moving closer, but ETH is not acting like a market in full-blown euphoria. Instead, price is holding support while speculative positioning looks more measured. That may actually be healthier than a blow-off move before the event.…

Arguably the most popular UFC fighter of our time – Conor McGregor – returned to the octagon after a five-year absence during which he recovered from a severe leg fracture and dealt with personal and legal issues.

Bitcoin’s move back toward the $64,000 area gives bulls something to work with, but it does not remove the market’s next problem. After a sharp recovery, the focus now shifts to overhead supply and whether buyers can absorb the next wave of profit-taking. That is often how rebounds work in crypto. The first move higher…

Bitcoin Magazine Strategy (MSTR) Raises $467 Million in Cash, Leaves Stash of 843,775 Bitcoin Untouched Strategy (MSTR) sold about $466.7 million worth of its stock last week and put the proceeds toward cash rather than bitcoin, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.

The SEC’s crypto approach may be entering a new phase. A rulemaking package framed around “Regulation Crypto” suggests the agency is moving toward a more formal digital asset framework under Chair Paul Atkins, rather than relying mainly on enforcement cases to shape the market. That distinction matters. Enforcement tells firms what regulators disliked after the…

US crypto regulation has spent years stuck between enforcement actions, agency turf fights, and unfinished legislation. The CLARITY Act is one of the efforts meant to change that, and the Senate’s return puts the bill back into the market’s field of vision. This is not a simple “bill passes, crypto rallies” story. It is a…

All eyes in the cryptocurrency community were on Strategy after last week’s sale and Michael Saylor’s cryptic message on X yesterday. On the positive side, the company didn’t announce a new BTC sale today. On the other hand, it didn’t increase its cryptocurrency exposure either. Instead, the firm’s former CEO and co-founder said that the…

Robinhood’s crypto strategy is becoming less about offering a few coins and more about owning infrastructure.
