Speculation flared after two Bitcoin blocks appeared untagged, but NiceHash later confirmed the blocks were mined during internal testing. Claims of a solo Bitcoin mining jackpot faded after NiceHash said block metadata display issues caused the confusion. The brief “Bitcoin lottery” buzz showed how rare solo mining wins continue to spark speculation amid rising network […]
West Virginia lawmakers introduced the Inflation Protection Act to permit the investment of ten percent of state reserves into precious metals and Bitcoin. Digital assets must maintain a market capitalisation exceeding 750 billion dollars to qualify which effectively limits the state to Bitcoin alone. The proposal is currently under review by the Committee on Banking […]
Bitwise analysts stress-tested gold and Bitcoin allocations across major equity drawdowns over the past decade. Gold consistently reduced losses during market sell-offs, while Bitcoin tended to outperform during recovery phases. Portfolios combining gold and Bitcoin delivered stronger risk-adjusted returns than holding either asset alone. Ray Dalio’s recommendation that investors allocate roughly 15% of a portfolio […]
Former NYC Mayor Eric Adams launched “NYC Token” in Times Square, claiming proceeds would fund efforts against antisemitism through an unnamed nonprofit, though he provided few technical details.

Regulatory progress, Ethereum’s dominance in stablecoins and DeFi, network scaling plans, and Bitmine accumulation […]
Florida’s SB 1038 proposes a “Strategic Cryptocurrency Reserve” to hold Bitcoin, managed separately from general state funds by the Chief Financial Officer. The bill restricts purchases to assets with a $500 billion average market cap, effectively making Bitcoin the only eligible cryptocurrency for the state’s treasury. Unlike failed 2025 efforts to invest in pension funds, […]
Bitcoin ended 2025 lower than it started, while gold and the S&P 500 delivered superior returns to investors over the same period. Analysts expect 2026 may be a slower year for crypto, with the market digesting Bitcoin’s substantial three-year gains rather than generating fresh momentum. Recent price movements have been driven largely by exchange-traded fund […]
Cambodia arrested and extradited Prince Group founder Chen Zhi to China following a joint investigation into a multibillion-dollar “pig-butchering” crypto scam network. The US Department of Justice recently launched its largest-ever forfeiture action to seize $15 billion in Bitcoin linked to the group’s alleged forced-labor compounds. Chen’s transfer to Beijing follows the revocation of his […]

A durable recovery above $101,500 is considered unlikely […]
