Riding the developer excitement from the recent BNBAI Hack, BNB Chain has proclaimed the initiation of BNB Hack—a global, long-term hackathon that aims to supercharge Web3 developers.

BCP Technologies has made a landmark step in the UK’s developing digital asset arena with the launch of its British pound-backed stablecoin, $TGBP.

While Bitcoin remains close to its recent peaks, it’s becoming clear that investor sentiment is starting to shift.
Data shows that the $BTC market has become less favorable for momentum buyers, with a much sharper uptick in profit-taking. The late-stage telling may be that both momentum and reversal signals are now being sold by indicators. All of this is starkly contrasted by the first-time...
The AI agent market kept up its weekend momentum and posted some moderate gains as capital rotation in the space started to cool.
