On Mar. 31, Moody's assigned provisional Ba2 ratings to up to $100 million in taxable revenue bonds for the Waverose Finance Project. The bonds are secured by a loan to NH CleanSpark Borrower Trust 2026-1, with Bitcoin (BTC) as the pledged collateral.
Those numbers set the conditions under which traditional finance agreed to work with Bitcoin at all: 72.06 cents of credit for every dollar of...
The core change is a 100% rakeback mechanic applied to the first nine loyalty levels. During this introductory window, which covers up to $1,000 in cumulative wagers, the platform returns the entirety of its house margin to the player. The expected casino profit during this phase is effectively zero, with Rakebit covering the cost as a user acquisition incentive.
Once players advance past Level 9...
What looks like a geopolitical threat aimed at US multinationals could quickly become a crypto story too.
That is because several of the companies threatened by Iran now sit inside the infrastructure, payments, and corporate treasury layers that parts of the digital-asset industry rely on.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the IRGC warned that US companies in the region would be targeted from...
Bitcoin is pushing back toward $70,000 as macro pressure eases, but each attempt is still being sold into. The market is improving on the outside while failing to resolve a key internal constraint.
Macro relief improves the backdrop as Bitcoin meets a crowded zone above $70,000
Bitcoin has opened April with a cleaner macro backdrop than the one that defined the final stretch of March.
The war...
Bitcoin is no longer responding to rising global liquidity the way it did in the last cycle. Even as money supply expands, a stronger dollar is tightening financial conditions faster than liquidity can lift prices.
Bitcoin traders love one chart more than almost any other: global M2 liquidity with a time lag.
More money expanding across the world eventually finds its way into risk assets, and...
With the first quarter of 2026 over, Bitcoin’s weak showing looks less like a single crypto-specific break and more like the product of a market that spent the past months under growing macro and geopolitical pressure.
As Q1 closed out on March 31, Bitcoin was trading near $66,280 and down about 24% for the year, while the S...
Tether spent early 2026 expanding into gold. By the end of March, it had already cut the senior hires behind that push, turning what looked like an ambition story into a test of how the company wants to look before auditors examine its books.
Paolo Ardoino said that Tether wanted to allocate 10% to 15% of its $20 billion proprietary investment portfolio to physical gold. Two days later, Tether...
Bitcoin entered April on firmer footing, but the rebound is running straight into a macro test that could decide whether this move has legs. Traders are now weighing whether easing war fears can keep lifting risk assets, or whether the next Fed signal will cut that recovery short.
Bitcoin price started April back above $68,000 after a late-March relief rally tied to hopes that the Iran war could...
Google’s latest quantum research did more than cut the estimated hardware needed to crack elliptic-curve cryptography. It used Bitcoin and other blockchain systems to show what a future signature failure could look like in public, with real assets, visible wallets, and little room for reversal.
On Mar. 30, Google Quantum AI published a 57-page whitepaper coauthored with Justin Drake of the...
The Midnight Foundation declared its network live on Mar. 29, with the genesis block dated Mar. 17.
That launch gives Cardano's community its first production test of Charles Hoskinson's argument that public blockchains cannot reach regulated finance, identity, and business use unless the infrastructure itself embeds privacy and compliance from the start.
Cardano enters that test in an unusual...
