Imagine the world’s internet backbone collapsing in a day. Whether it’s due to human error, a catastrophic software bug, a rogue computer virus, or outright kinetic warfare, what happens to Bitcoin if the physical internet exchange hubs that connect the world suddenly go dark? If Frankfurt, London, Virginia, Singapore, and Marseille were to go offline simultaneously, Bitcoin splits into three...
For six consecutive trading days, starting October 28, when Bitwise launched the BSOL US Solana ETF, it pulled in $284 million, while Bitcoin and Ethereum funds bled capital. According to Farside Investors’ data, Bitcoin ETFs lost $1.7 billion over the same stretch. Ethereum products shed $473 million. The divergence wasn’t subtle, and it arrived at a moment when macroeconomic headwinds,...
The corporate Bitcoin (BTC) treasury trade that validated itself through the second quarter hit a wall in the fall. Public companies added 159,107 BTC in the second quarter, pushing total corporate holdings to roughly 847,000 BTC, approximately 4% of the capped supply, and proving that “Bitcoin on balance sheet” worked as a capital-markets play. Then the easy money stopped. NYDIG-tracked flows...
Record difficulty and declining on-chain fees have dragged Bitcoin mining profitability to a two-year low, creating a widening divide between miners surviving on razor-thin margins and those reinventing themselves as data-center operators for the AI boom. Mining used to be a homogeneous industry moving in sync with Bitcoin’s price. However, it’s now evolving into a two-speed economy, where...
Bitcoin’s sustained price above $100,000 was supposed to signal its arrival as a mature institutional asset. Instead, its sudden reversal below that threshold has unsettled traders and revived fears of another crypto winter. On Nov. 4, Bitcoin briefly dipped to its lowest level since May at $99,075, before recovering to approximately $102,437 as of press time. Despite the price recovery, BTC is...
Bitcoin’s four-year cycle used to offer a simple script: halving rewards meant scarcity, and scarcity meant higher prices. This pattern held for over a decade. Every four years, the network’s reward to miners was halved, thereby tightening the supply, followed by a speculative frenzy that resulted in a new all-time high. However, as Bitcoin hovers just above $100,000 this week, down about 20%...
Moon Inc. said its shares are now available to U.S. investors on the OTCQX Best Market as of Nov. 5, following an upgrade from the OTC Pink tier and a bell ringing at OTC Markets Group in New York. The move opens a direct channel for U.S. retail and institutional investors to access the Hong Kong-listed issuer, which trades on the HKEX under code 1723 and has been pivoting from its roots in...
After years of relentless buying, Strategy Inc., the digital-asset treasury firm led by Michael Saylor, has quietly eased its pace of Bitcoin accumulation. In recent weeks, company filings have shown that its BTC purchases have fallen to only a few hundred coins, representing a sharp slowdown for the largest corporate holder of the flagship cryptocurrency. During the third-quarter earnings call,...
A new quantum countdown website projects a two– to three-year window for quantum computers to break widely used public key cryptography, placing Bitcoin within its scope. Sites like The Quantum Doom Clock, operated by Postquant Labs and Hadamard Gate Inc., package aggressive assumptions about qubit scaling and error rates into a timeline that spans the late 2020s to early 2030s for a...
Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a sharp $566.4 million outflow on Tuesday, Nov. 4, extending its five-day drain to roughly $1.9 billion and decisively flipping the week’s tone into risk-off. Fidelity’s FBTC accounted for the majority of the exits at -$356.6 million, with ARKB at -$128.1 million and Grayscale’s GBTC at -$48.9 million. No fund posted an inflow. This is the largest single-day outflow since...
