Standard Chartered expects Ether to outperform Bitcoin over time, with the ETH–BTC ratio recovering toward 2021 highs despite near-term market weakness. The bank cut its medium-term Ether forecasts but raised its long-term outlook, projecting ETH could reach US$40,000 (AU$60,400) by 2030. 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 […]
Analyst Keith Alan predicts Bitcoin will likely drop to retest its $87,500 yearly open as bulls struggle to maintain current support at $92,000. Market data suggests large traders are positioning for a deeper correction, potentially triggered by a “death cross” on the weekly chart later this month. A durable recovery above $101,500 is considered unlikely […]
Riot Platforms sold 2,201 BTC for $200 million in late 2025 to fund a strategic shift toward AI and data center infrastructure. The sale reduced its treasury to 18,005 BTC as the company prioritises capital for its 112-megawatt Corsicana facility expansion. This move mirrors a broader industry trend of miners diversifying into AI to monetise […]
Bitcoin showed modest stabilisation in early 2026, rising over 3% in the first trading sessions whilst equity markets weakened. December weakness stemmed from year-end market mechanics—thin liquidity, tax-loss selling, and portfolio rebalancing rather than crypto-specific shocks. Bitfinex notes that slowing ETF-related selling into year-end suggests significant de-risking has already occurred, potentially improving liquidity conditions ahead. […]
Jason Pizzino predicts broad volatility for 2026 across multiple asset classes, forecasting that US housing prices will enter a “choppy” period this year. Meanwhile, Michael Pizzino noted that Bitcoin has recorded three consecutive months of losses for the first time this cycle since its US$126,000 peak in October 2025. The brothers’ outlook warns of a […]
Prenetics has officially halted its Bitcoin purchases to focus all capital and attention on its consumer health brand IM8, which recently hit 100 million dollars in annual revenue.
