Bitcoin price opened US trading session strongly with a 3% surge above $68,000, according to CryptoSlate's data.
This marked a significant difference to its first response, which looked nothing like a clean safe-haven trade following the latest Middle East tensions.
When headlines hit over the weekend about US strikes on Iran, the flagship digital asset fell below $64,000 before stabilizing,...
Bitcoin rises over 6% on the U.S. open as CME premium spikes, and liquidations don’t explain it
Bitcoin jumped over 6% to threaten $70,000 during Monday’s U.S. market open even as the broader macro environment appears risk-off.
Oil ripped higher on Middle East escalation risk, equities opened sharply lower, and the dollar held firm. The S...
Revolut is preparing to trial a pound-backed stablecoin inside a regulated stablecoin sandbox in the UK, with testing expected within the current quarter. While this might look like another fintech pilot in the long history of crypto payment tests, the more interesting part sits upstream of the token itself.
Revolut has what most stablecoin projects spend years trying to build: distribution...
When markets are closed and Bitcoin is moving, the custody agreement decides who can act.
A spot Bitcoin ETF fixed an awkward problem for finance. Bitcoin used to arrive as software, keys, and operational responsibility. The ETF repackaged it as a ticker that sits next to every other ticker.
That convenience came with a structural trade. Most ETF buyers get exposure while someone else holds...
U.S. M2 hit a record $22.4T in January, why Bitcoin hasn’t followed, and what could change next
U.S. broad money supply (M2) reached a record $22.442 trillion in January 2026.
That put M2 up $922.4 billion (+4.29%) from January 2025, setting a new high for a metric that often anchors “liquidity up, risk up” narratives.

Five straight weeks of net redemptions from crypto investment products are enough to raise the alarm, as they point to a choice that keeps getting made, with the same logic, on the same cadence, by the same kinds of committees.
CoinShares' Feb. 23 weekly report showed digital asset investment products saw $288 million in outflows for the week, the fifth consecutive weekly decline, bringing the...
Bitcoin is holding near $66,000 after a weekend geopolitical shock tied to U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, setting up Monday’s U.S. reopen as the first major liquidity and spot ETF flow test of the rebound.
The diplomatic alarm bell rang alongside the price rebound. At an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting, the Secretary-General warned that the escalation risked widening into a broader...
For years, the wrong-number text arrived like clockwork. A friendly mistake, then apologies, small talk, and gradual friendship. Eventually, the investment tip was a “sure thing” on a slick platform showing returns that seemed too good to ignore.
Americans watched account balances climb on fabricated dashboards, only to discover the withdrawal button led nowhere. Life savings had vanished into a...
Bitcoin difficulty just reset about 15% higher to roughly 144.40T.
While this is neither the first nor the last, it is the largest since around 2021. The timing is important because the protocol tightened miner economics while Bitcoin has been chopping around the mid-$60,000s with repeated tests near $65,000.

A Bitcoin developer embedded a 66-kilobyte image inside a single transaction without using OP_RETURN or Taproot.
The transaction followed consensus rules. Anyone can verify the bytes using standard node software. Martin Habovštiak didn't do this to make art, but to prove that closing one data doorway doesn't remove the capability, it just changes where bytes hide.
The demonstration lands amid...
