2025: First U.S. Net-Negative Migration in 50 Years — Was the “Great Reset” Always Meant to Happen on Bitcoin?

COINS NEWS

2025 marked the first time in over 50 years that the U.S. experienced net-negative migration—or at least a near-zero drop. That alone is a macro shock. But it’s showing up in an odd place: crypto narratives.abcnews+2 A lot of commentators now act as if influencers must straddle two worlds: the old 4-year crypto cycle and whatever new cycle is forming around AI, compute, and agent-driven internet activity. Take Charles Hoskinson’s forecasts: By 2029, a $50B/year market for confidential compute, with ~75% of AI inference running in trusted execution environments. By 2035, most searches, commerce, and online activity driven by AI agents, not humans. Humans end up in a “human internet” zoo while the “real” economy runs agent-to-agent on the global internet. Those are strong claims about compute becoming the scarce, valuable asset. And yet, we’re also seeing a historic contraction in net migration—something that should, in theory, reshape labor, consumption, and tech adoption.finance-commerce+2 From a social-science lens, that tension is awkward. Psychology usually models behavior with bidirectional strategies (stimulus ↔ response, belief ↔ action), not a clean triarchy of “migration–compute–crypto.” There’s no obvious law of conditioning that says Hoskinson’s math should map neatly onto net migration trends. If anything, the “conditioning” for his followers already ran its course; now it’s more about status, narrative control, and who gets to keep commentating while Trump dominates the immigration/“job board” narrative. My working theory: Compute became exclusive through cryptocurrency (mining, GPUs, data centers, tokenized access). That exclusivity started affecting offline behavior—hiring, migration choices, even which metros grow or shrink.whitehouse+1 People who arrived “late” to Bitcoin still caught up if they had access to compute. In that sense, buying compute may matter more than timing your coin entry. A lot of shitcoins might actually work against the long-term compute economy by fragmenting capital and attention. That doesn’t fully explain the loss in net migration. But it raises a question: if there were enough compute (and data) to model it properly, would we see a clearer link between crypto/compute dynamics and migration flows—or is this just a convenient narrative overlay on a policy-driven shock? I’d rather not make money on shitcoins. There are legitimate people who came to Bitcoin late but leveraged compute to catch up. Maybe the real trade isn’t “which coin,” but “who owns the compute.” submitted by /u/Azula_In_The_AMX [link] [comments]

Do you believe BTC will be used as a viable medium of exchange or will it be forever be doomed to a speculative asset?

COINS NEWS

Had a reflection while I was printing some statements for tax purposes, that I was doing the exact opposite of what Bitcoin stands for. So what do you think of the future? Do you HODL expecting to eventually sell at a profit, or do you believe that in the future it will be used as a relevant currency? submitted by /u/throwaccount630 [link] [comments]

This BTC rally looks better supported, but I’m still not chasing it

COINS NEWS

BTC’s move looks more convincing than the usual headline-driven pump. Spot ETFs have seen strong inflows recently, long-term holders continue to accumulate, and larger wallets have reportedly been adding over the past couple of months. That feels like a healthier mix of buyers than we’ve seen during some previous rallies. At the same time, I don’t think that automatically makes buying after a big move low risk. By the time most of the indicators look bullish, a lot of the easier entries are often already behind us. Personally, if I decide to take a trade here, I’d probably keep the position smaller and have my invalidation planned before entering. The downside is that waiting for a cleaner setup could mean watching price keep running without me. What would make you comfortable adding to a BTC position here, or are you staying patient for a pullback? submitted by /u/Street_Area1297 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin Traders Watch for “Serious Volume” After Binance BTC Outflows Rise to 9K

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin buyers appear to be absorbing sell pressure more effectively around the $65,000 area, according to analysis tied to exchange flow data. The signal comes after Binance posted its largest single-day net outflow in nearly two years, with more BTC leaving the platform than entering. Onchain analytics firm CryptoQuant highlighted that Binance withdrawals have recently been running ahead of deposits—an environment traders often watch for because it can indicate reduced immediate supply on the exchange order book. Still, analysts caution that exchange outflows alone do not confirm a fresh, sustainable uptrend. Key takeaways CryptoQuant data shows Binance daily netflows have oscillated submitted by /u/Webclues_Infotech [link] [comments]

I thought creating a new wallet meant creating a completely new identity ????

COINS NEWS

When I first explored crypto wallets, I thought every wallet app created a completely separate account.Later I learned that what really matters is the recovery phrase.Different wallet apps can access the same wallet as long as they're compatible and you have the correct recovery phrase.That small realization made the whole idea of self-custody much easier to understand. Was there any beginner misconception that took you a while to figure out? submitted by /u/Ok-Tap6722 [link] [comments]

What happens to your crypto when you die? 2026 Guide to crypto inheritance

COINS NEWS

Interesting read. Gives you something real to think about. 4 million BTC ($40B) already lost forever. Your crypto might be next - and most people still have zero plan. No major exchange (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken) lets you name a beneficiary. Your heirs will have to go through probate court and then customer support while the market does whatever it wants. You don’t inherit the coins - you inherit the private key. If your family can’t reconstruct it, the crypto stays visible on the blockchain forever but completely unspendable. The good news: you can fix this today. Make a simple inventory (no keys), write a plain-language letter of instruction, never put the seed in your will, and for serious money use Shamir shares or a time-delayed multisig (Casa / Nunchuk / Unchained).

Invested 5000$ properly for the first time

COINS NEWS

I've been in the cryptosphere since 2018 but I never put serious money or hold it properly for long term. All I did was occasionally trading meme coin with $100 or $200 but nothing above $400. With the rising usage of AI and my job being at risk (Software Engineer) I feel like now is the perfect time to buy and hodl for the future because the future doesn't look very good with AI around. Now that I have a proper job and proper saving, I have decided to buy a cold wallet and put some of my life saving into cryptocurrency and keep it in my safe and DCA from this time onward. Here's what I invested: - $3000 on Bitcoin - $1000 in Ethereum - $1000 in Solana The most trust I have between these 3 is Bitcoin because it seems to be the one who's doing well the most in term of long time period. Excited to join the hodl family and cheer! submitted by /u/RudeDragonfly4408 [link] [comments]

a MiCA-licensed, fully authorized stablecoin issuer just got hacked through the exact thing licensing was supposed to prevent

COINS NEWS

Proof that the regulated perimeter does not equal the secure perimeter. been seeing a lot of "just wait until everything's regulated, then it'll be safe" takes in defi/stablecoin threads lately, so this felt worth sharing. hacken released its q2 security and compliance report, and in this era of regulation boom, this case is worth sharing. so, stablr (usdr/eurr) is mica-authorized lost $2.8M this quarter because one of its three mint keys got compromised what makes this specific case interesting is that key/mint-authority management is exactly the kind of operational control mica's underlying framework (dora) is supposed to require issuers to have locked down. it's not a gap in the rules on paper. it's that authorization checks whether you have a security policy document and pass a point-in-time pentest, not whether your actual key management setup survives a real attempt. the loss happened inside the regulated perimeter, after full authorization, not from some unlicensed fly-by-night issuer. not saying mica is pointless, but "licensed" not always mean "operationally secure" submitted by /u/Hacken_io [link] [comments]

Been testing my bot for 6 days now..

COINS NEWS

People was quite interest last time so a brief update on my bot and it's first 6 days running. 99% of this is pure luck and it gets worse. I have a regime gate; 6 days ago it was saying Risk-off. This is when I turned on my bot. So it went into the market looking for shorts. It' currency says the market is Neutral. Does it go bull or bear.. who knows? https://preview.redd.it/7r95ip17lreh1.png?width=863&format=png&auto=webp&s=6c62b632e064766a6239c9f3e8ea298ec1321a8b I have set it up for 20% position sizing and then it rebalances every 14 days. Besides that there is a take profit after 7 days (which is tomorrow) 21/07/2026 around midnight It picked DEXE for whatever reason the Bear scored it high. It's simply explained essentially an array of variables which have a negative impact on price/momentum. I will not touch anything and see where this goes - bet me hard if it goes back to 35 and my entire strategy has failed me. But I believe in random forward walk backtests and it has shown me the light; rebalance too often and you'll drastically increase your drawdown. Shave your position instead. https://preview.redd.it/1fbq7njblreh1.png?width=863&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7be9f8b412507fda24865de119984bba2af5709 So currently up little under 15% in the first week. I publish everything on my site while I continue to build it. Currently have two other strategies being shadow'ed which potentially can reduce drawdown by a good margin.

Goodbye getblocktemplate: Bitcoin Core block templates over IPC (Cap'n Proto)

COINS NEWS

Sharing this month's work, leading with the Bitcoin Core part since that's the most relevant here. Bitcoin Core mining over IPC Bitcoin Core's multiprocess build exposes a mining interface over Cap'n Proto IPC. mkpool now has an optional path that uses it instead of polling getblocktemplate over JSON-RPC: Templates come straight from the node's Mining interface (createNewBlock / waitNext), so a new template arrives as soon as the node has one, with no GBT poll loop. Solved blocks go back through submitSolution, and I keep the classic submitblock path as a redundant, bounded fallback so a found block is never lost. Lower template latency and a cleaner block-submit path than scraping JSON-RPC, and it lines up with where Core's mining interface is heading. This combined with Stratum V2 gives you the fastest possible low latency way to mine Bitcoin. You can try it out today on mkpool. Also shipped this month Bidirectional Stratum V2 <-> V1 translator: point a Noise-encrypted SV2 ASIC like a Bitaxe at any plain V1 pool, or point plain V1 rigs at an SV2-only pool. Tested end to end on a real Bitaxe over Noise. Scale-out roles (proxy / redirector / passthrough / clustering node) for multi-region and HA setups. It stays genuinely solo: your payout address is your username, the coinbase is rebuilt per session, and a found block pays straight to your wallet. No pool custody. Public pool: https://mkpool.com/ Repo (GPLv3): https://github.com/Mecanik/mkpool Benchmark writeup: https://mkpool.com/blog/mkpool-vs-ckpool-benchmark Happy to answer technical questions, especially on the IPC side.

There was a time when I honestly had no idea what to do next

COINS NEWS

There was a time when I honestly had no idea what to do next. I lost the job I had been at for 5 years. The first few days were a complete shock. The only thoughts in my head were: "What now? What am I supposed to do?" The hardest part wasn't even losing the job. The hardest part was feeling completely lost. It felt like everyone around me was moving forward while I was stuck in the same place. Honestly, if it wasn't for my family, it would have been much harder. Instead of blaming me, they simply said, "We'll figure it out." That support gave me the strength not to give up. After a while, I realized there was no point in sitting around waiting. I started looking for different ways to make money. I watched videos, tried different things, made mistakes, and wasted time. Then one day I accidentally came across crypto testnets. At first, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. But little by little, I started figuring things out. And honestly, it wasn't even about crypto. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I was in control of my life again. Small steps, but moving forward. If you're interested in how crypto testnets work, I already have a post about them. If you can't find the information you're looking for online, feel free to message me. If I can help, I'd be happy to. And just to be clear, I'm not selling anything. I'm sharing this because I know what it's like to be in a place where it feels like there's no way out. If you're going through a tough period right now, just know that it won't last forever. I'm genuinely curious. Have you ever had a moment when life suddenly didn't go according to plan? What helped you get through it? submitted by /u/flyingcoxpdx [link] [comments]

Russia's parliament just passed a bill letting retail investors buy Bitcoin. There's a mandatory exam and a $3,900/year cap.

COINS NEWS

Passed by the State Duma yesterday (July 21). Not a rumor, not someone's translation of a Telegram post, the actual bill. Here's what's in it: New licensing registry for exchanges, custodians, and brokers. Existing platforms get roughly a year to register. Retail investors can buy the most liquid crypto assets (bitcoin is the obvious flagship candidate, the report doesn't name the full list) through a registered intermediary, after passing a knowledge test. Cap for retail: 300,000 rubles (~$3,900) per year, per intermediary. Qualified investors also have to pass a test, but face no purchase cap. Prior trading history can count toward qualifying. Owning ≠ spending. This bill legalizes buying and holding bitcoin, it does not legalize using it as money. Paying for groceries in bitcoin is still banned domestically, so the ruble keeps its monopoly on everyday transactions. Carve-outs: foreign-trade settlement, mined crypto, and some securities transactions are exempt from that ban. Banks are required to block transfers to anyone they suspect of running an unregistered exchange. Timeline: first reading was back in April. Most provisions are set to take effect Sept. 1. It still needs to clear the Federation Council and get signed into law, expected, but not done yet. The part worth sitting with: a government that's spent years treating bitcoin as a threat to its monetary sovereignty just built a formal, licensed path for its own citizens to buy it. Gated by an exam and a spending cap, but a path. That's the move a state eventually makes once it accepts it can't kill the protocol, it regulates the door instead. Source: The Block / The Bitcoin Act I track moves like this across dozens of jurisdictions, if anyone wants the source link or a country-by-country comparison, ask below and I'll drop it. Genuine question for the sub: does "exam + cap to start, uncapped once you qualify" count as a country actually opening the door to bitcoin, or is it just a more polite capital control? Where's the line for you? submitted by /u/The_Bitcoin_Act [link] [comments]

I’m wondering if anyone knows precisely what happened or if it was in fact rug pulled because during my looking into it, I noticed that the white paper and GitHub hasn’t been touched in many years, but was also net with resistance when I asked about the project originally.

I built a creator platform on Bitcoin/Lightning, looking for feedback

COINS NEWS

I've been working on something called Mochi and wanted to share it here. The short version is it's a creator platform built entirely on Lightning. Creators get a page where they can accept tips, sell digital products, and run subscriptions. All in sats. The thing that makes it different from just pasting a Lightning address somewhere is the wallet system. Supporters load sats into a Mochi wallet and subscriptions pull from that balance automatically. It solves the biggest problem with recurring payments on Lightning since there's no native way to do pull payments. No expired cards, no chargebacks, no failed invoices. Load once, subscribe, done. You log in with a seed phrase. No email, no KYC. Anyone can visit a creator's page and tip via QR without making an account. Accounts are only needed when someone wants to subscribe or buy something. I built it because I was tired of using Patreon and Gumroad and handing over a cut to platforms that don't even support bitcoin. The tools on those platforms are good but the rails are wrong. Still early. Looking for the first 100 creators to try it out. Founders get a permanently lower fee locked in forever. Would love honest feedback from this community. What works, what doesn't, what's missing. Thanks everyone! Hopefully this can fill a void. mochi-pay.com submitted by /u/GroyalCodes [link] [comments]

Russia's State Duma passes comprehensive crypto market law, targeting Sept. 1 launch pending Putin's signature

COINS NEWS

Russia's State Duma approved bill No. 1194918-8, "On Digital Currency and Digital Rights," in its second and third readings on Tuesday. It still needs approval by the Federation Council and President Putin's signature before it becomes law, a process expected to take about two weeks The bill recognizes cryptocurrency as property rather than money under Russian civil code, giving crypto holdings legal protection in courts, bankruptcy, and divorce proceedings, and creates five categories of licensed intermediaries like exchanges, brokers, management companies, depositories, and exchangers, all supervised by the Bank of Russia Notably, domestic crypto payments stay banned, the ruble remains the only legal currency inside Russia but the law creates a sanctioned channel for Russian companies to pay foreign partners in crypto, bypassing Western banking restrictions. Main provisions take effect September 1, 2026, with full enforcement of the licensed-intermediary system arriving July 1, 2027 submitted by /u/ocean_protocol [link] [comments]

I just watched this podcast episode where BlackRock's Head of Digital Assets Research (Will Su) said that the quantum threat is what's keeping Bitcoin from being mass-adopted. From his words, "some of the folks that would've certainly come in to engage with Bitcoin have probably held back a bit because of this quantum question," and when asked by the host whether the concern is "meaningfully affecting adoption", his answer was: "Yes. 100%." So I'm wondering, why are we delaying the response for this threat, especially if that is going to bring in more investors (and, well, more importantly, protect Bitcoin from quantum computers)? I've seen multiple proposals to start addressing this, the one on top being BIP 360 (P2MR) Any thoughts? Am I missing something here? This is the episode I'm talking about: https://youtu.be/Puv7Yyymy6M submitted by /u/NoUnderstanding6021 [link] [comments]

Please help me find my new exchange ????

COINS NEWS

Hello, I wanted to reach out because I need some guidance here, I need to leave kucoin as It doesn't fill my expectations at all. I would need a service that offers the following, and it's for Europe so I think there's that Mica stuff which I'm not sure about but I think it's due to it Binance got outed. Anyhow, I'd need: 1) A crypto card with cashback 2) A second account "business/corporate", as I intend to operate a website where crypto will be accepted. 3) I need 2 trading features which I use in kucoin. The first one is OCO which allows me grabs a few tokens during their sometimes very short rise, while protected for the drop. The other trading feature I need is trailing stop or trailing delta. Allows me to be protected during trades while not having to watch at the evolution of the market every 30 sec. I think those are called advance spot trading. 4) I need some interesting staking features. With decent yield 5) I do need a good % on fixed term earn products (7 days, 14 days, one month, one year... see? 6) A few new token and rarities is a plus so I can place an OCO on it. I'm currently hesitating between Nexo, which was my first choice, then bybit. Recently, I discovered OKX. What I know is that they all have a card, cashback and the possibility to have a business account. For the rest, please help me out team ! ❤️❤️ submitted by /u/GeneralNo8471 [link] [comments]

For people who buy altcoins, how do you guys justify your decisions of accumulate more now or hold and wait to do it later instead of emotionally buying?

COINS NEWS

Am new to this and my portfolio today went for the first time 20eu higher. I know this does not justify a decision to accumulate more of my coins, i also researched some micro positive news also but that doesn't justify it either. I've researched a lot and learned a lot the last 2 weeks and i know what i experience now is a emotional fomo and thoughts of what if the next bull cycle is around the door and i miss out on the chance of buying more ? But i also know that this bull cycle if it comes might not be like the past cycles because many things are different from the past that might affect positively or negatively the cycle and market in general. I have researched the projects and coins i own and i believe in them and their areas and i would accumulate anyway more little by little. Just seeing these "positive" little things affects you if you are new and don't have experience in the cycles and the volatility of prices moving up or down. Am wondering how you experienced investors who are into altcoins justify your decision of buying more, waiting and dealing with the FOMO factor. And before some people comment which they will comment about btc and eth, i know they are the best and safest investments but i chose altcoins for a higher potential upside and i also accepted the risks going with them... So please if you're gonna mention btc or eth, explain and justify your opinion on why alts are not good to invest in with details... submitted by /u/Traditional_Most105 [link] [comments]

Reporting CGT (HMRC 'Real Time’ Capital Gains Tax Service) [UK]

COINS NEWS

Hello all, I’ve held cryptocurrency assets since 2017 and every time I have sold some, I have done so within the CGT allowance, thus not triggering a taxable event that needed to be reported. Due to changes in life circumstances, I am looking to convert a sum larger than the annual CGT tax into GBP/cash. I’ve done some research into my options for this and the HMRC ‘Real Time Reporting Service’ seems to be the easiest and best choice for me. The attached image below shows the questions that the services asks and I do find some of them to be a little unclear and confusing... https://preview.redd.it/8hfp2rnoekeh1.jpg?width=1268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8e1e5e00280174628d981c5d0804263198c0ed9 I've looked into koinly and recap as tools to pull all of your transaction data together and provide tax summaries but I am confused how to go about actually answering most of the "How much..." questions from above as I've steadily bought over time as the prices of these assets went up... I would appreciate some advice or guidance from anyone who has used this service before, and maybe a summary of how they got to their figures that were submitted so I can get my head around it better. I don’t want to be in a situation whereby HMRC are potentially on my back due to reporting something incorrectly and/or being fined. I simply want to pay the tax I’m owed as soon as possible after/when I convert crypto to fiat so I can be in the clear. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/glennthomasholt [link] [comments]

The Hidden Cost of Free AI: Why You Should Be Charging for Your Data

COINS NEWS

We all enjoy the convenience of free AI chatbots and image generators. But as the saying goes, "If the product is free, you are the product." The multi-trillion-dollar AI industry is built on a foundation of data extracted from everyday users without their explicit consent or compensation. This dynamic is inherently exploitative, but until recently, individual users had no mechanism to demand payment for their data. Web3 infrastructure, specifically platforms like ONTO Wallet, is changing this. ONTO Wallet utilizes decentralized identity (ONT ID) to let you package your digital footprint into a verified, privacy-protected asset. Because AI models require high-quality human data to function properly, developers are willing to pay for access to ONTO's consented data pools. By participating, you stop giving your data away for free and start earning your rightful share of the AI economy. Q: How much is my data actually worth to AI companies? A: The value varies, but as the supply of easily scraped web data dries up and the need for verified human data increases, the market value of consented user data is steadily rising. Q: Does selling my data mean giving up my privacy? A: Not with ONTO Wallet. It uses zero-knowledge cryptography (zkTLS) to verify the authenticity of your data without exposing the raw, sensitive details to the buyers. Q: Is this only for crypto experts? A: No, ONTO Wallet is designed with a user-friendly interface, making data monetization accessible to anyone, regardless of their technical background.

I don't just want to know that something happened. I want to know why it matters, how markets are reacting, and what to watch next. Still early and I'm actively improving it, so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback. What would you add? submitted by /u/Square-Historian1458 [link] [comments]

How to choose a bitcoin loan platform for a real estate down payment?

COINS NEWS

I need USD to secure a downpayment on a real estate deal (Florida, USA) within the next week or so. I have a sizeable bitcoin portfolio and want to use this as leverage for a fiat loan, as I'd prefer not to sell to avoid tax hit and missing out on future upside. It seems like the bitcoin loan market has matured a lot in the last few years. The platforms I'm looking at currently are: Ledn - seem like they have the strongest track record and survived the FTX crashout. Was impressed they now have a BBB- investment grade rating and they publish monthly proof of reserves. they also have an auto top up tool to manage liquidation risk. APR seems to be 10.5% for the amount I'm looking at though, which is on the slightly higher end. Morpho / Coinbase borrow - crazy good APR, but not sure I'm comfortable with having so much collateral tied up with defi, especially following the aave / kelpDAO exploit a few months ago. I also don't know if wrapping my BTC to cBTC would count as a taxable event (?). This would be my first choice though if it's legit and not overly risky. Unchained - I really like the idea of keeping control of my own keys. The APR would be ~14% though which is obviously quite high. But given that security is my main consideration I'm not against paying that if it's the safest option. This is a really important financial decision so want to make sure I get it right. I'm relatively experienced in using leverage, so have thought through carefully the different price action scenarios. Please let me know if you have any direct experience with getting bitcoin loans and your experience with the platform. I'm very open to other platforms too, these were just the ones from my (mainly just internet-based) research. submitted by /u/Hehehe1000 [link] [comments]

A reminder from this month's npm supply-chain hit: your keys are only as safe as the machine they live on

COINS NEWS

A widely used npm package got hijacked this month and shipped an infostealer to anyone who installed it. It swept browser sessions, password vaults, crypto wallets and seed phrases, and even config files for AI coding tools, all from the machine it ran on. The uncomfortable part for anyone in crypto: a seed phrase or a software wallet sitting on a connected dev or daily-driver machine is inside reach of whatever else runs there. The thing that stays out of range is a key that was generated offline and only ever signs offline, because it is not on that machine to steal. Not saying any one setup removes all risk. Just that separating where you sign from where you browse and build is one of the higher-leverage habits out there. Curious how people here keep those two environments apart. submitted by /u/ELLIPALWallet [link] [comments]

[SERIOUS] the only job an AI agent can actually do on-chain right now is trade. change my mind

COINS NEWS

every "AI agents will earn money" pitch i see assumes agents can sell services or do outreach, and in practice that barely works — no customers, no conversions, someone still has to say yes on the other end. trading is the exception, and i think it's underrated as "the first real job" for an autonomous agent: it doesn't need a counterparty to agree, the agent acts, gets immediate feedback from the market, and adjusts. that's a full loop it can run on its own, on-chain, 24/7. i'm not claiming a bot prints money — it's automation, not magic, and plenty blow up. but as the one thing an agent can do end-to-end without a human in the loop, trading seems like the natural starting point for whatever the "agent economy" turns into. where's the hole? is there another on-chain job an agent can actually complete solo today (LP'ing? arbitrage? something i'm missing?), or is trading really it for now? submitted by /u/Dry_Steak30 [link] [comments]

Yen carry trade is a ticking time bomb for crypto

USD/JPY is dangerously high. If the Yen carry trade unwinds violently, crypto gets dumped first for instant liquidity.

Bitcoin's long-term holder supply has just reached a new all-time high.

COINS NEWS

As you know guys, most discussions focus on price, but one of Bitcoin's most important on-chain metrics is moving in the opposite direction. A record share of the total BTC supply is now held by long-term holders, participants who continue accumulating and holding their coins instead of selling them back into the market. Historically, this has been one of the most interesting phases of a market cycle. As more Bitcoin moves into long-term storage, the amount of liquid BTC available on exchanges and in active circulation gradually declines. That changes the network's supply dynamics in a meaningful way. Less liquid supply means a larger portion of Bitcoin is effectively removed from day-to-day market activity. What's particularly notable is that this milestone comes during a relatively quiet period for the market. Long-term conviction continues to grow, supply becomes increasingly scarce, and the structure of the Bitcoin network keeps improving regardless of short-term market sentiment. submitted by /u/everstake [link] [comments]

SWIFT just built a blockchain across 17 major banks and cut out everything crypto actually cares about. Is this a win or a loss for the industry?

COINS NEWS

SWIFT launched a blockchain-based shared ledger this week. 17 banks from six continents already piloting. Citi, HSBC, UBS, BNP Paribas, Wells Fargo, BNY. Round the clock money movement. They managed to build this in just 9 months The catch: it runs on Hyperledger Besu. Banks retain full control of their own keys. SWIFT orchestrates everything. No decentralization. No open access. No crypto involved at any point. So crypto spent 15 years making the philosophical and technical case that the global financial system needed this infrastructure. And the version that actually got built strips out literally everything the community cared about and hands control straight back to the institutions crypto was supposed to disrupt. On one hand this validates the technology completely. On the other it feels like watching someone steal your idea, water it down, and get credit for inventing it. Curious how people here are actually feeling about the SWIFT announcement specifically. It feels like a larger growing trend of traditional finance and banking coming in, taking what they need, and throwing out the rest. Is this a win for crypto or the beginning of the end for the industry as it merges with the finance sector it was trying to usurp? submitted by /u/ArcanuMELO [link] [comments]

Testing The Top 8 Crypto Cards (in South Africa) According to FX Rates and Base Tiers: Here's what I found.

COINS NEWS

I put $10 into 8 different Crypto Cards to see which one works best in South Africa. My goal was to cut through the smoke and mirrors. Reward claims are locked behind tiers and hidden fees. Let's see exactly which card is honest, cheapest, and best for the end user. The Methodology: Time spent: 2.5 hours downloading, signing up, and doing KYC for 8 different cards. The purchase: 8 packets of Lays at a local OK supermarket (one on each card). Poor cashier. The cost per packet: R23.99. The official FX rate at the time: 1 ZAR = 0.061796 USD | 1 USD = 16.182216 ZAR At that exact spot rate, a R23.99 packet of chips should cost exactly 1.482492 USD. Any amount charged above $1.48 on my $10 balance is the hidden spread, network fee, or conversion tax. I expect most cards to round up to $1.49 when claiming a 0% fee, even though this will be a 0.50% fee incurred. Note: VISA and Mastercard are always at a slight premium above the official FX rate. Mastercard actually tends to have a slightly better raw exchange rate than Visa. *This is charged to the crypto platform issuing the card, which then passes the cost down to you. Visa sources its daily exchange rates directly from wholesale foreign exchange markets. Independent tests historically show that Visa’s actual base rate is usually only 0.2% to 0.5% higher than the true "mid-market" rate (the rate you see on Google). This tiny spread is mostly due to market fluctuations and the 1-2 day lag between when you tap your card and when the transaction officially settles. Here is the full breakdown of what it takes to get these cards in SA, and what they actually cost to use. The South African Crypto Card At Base Tiers Rank Card Net Effective Cost (on ~$1.48 purchase) Gross FX Spread Base Cashback Custody Virtual Card Cost Setup Time Key Strengths Key Weaknesses Best For 1 Coca 1.47 (after CB) 1.18% 1% (USDC, monthly) Non-Custodial ✅ Free ~8 min Good perks, stablecoin CB up to $10,000/monthBest Card with just 1 upgrade "Up to" higher tiers Balanced rewards + subscriptions 2 EtherFi ~$1.45 (beats market after cashback) ~0.51% 3% instant Non-Custodial ✅ Free (1st) ~8 min Highest base reward, tier upgrades suck $2k/mo cap for top CB Everyday spending + max savings 3 Bitget ~$1.47 (beats market) ~0.51% Fx fee refund Non-Custodial ✅ Free ~10 min Transparent Mastercard rate, Africa focus Limited ATM Self-custody + low friction 4 Wirex Competitive (~1.18% all-in) 1.18% 0.5% (WXT) Custodial ⚠️ Free ~12 min Long track record, multi-currency Volatile token rewards, strict POA Reliable backup 5 RedotPay Full spread (~2.53%) ~2.53% 0% Custodial ⚠️ $10 ~12 min High limits, popular in ZA No rewards, issuance fee High-limit backup 6 Bybit ~$1.53 (after points) ~2.53% 2% (points) Custodial ⚠️ Free Gated High limits, potential airdrops Double fees, points system Higher volume users 7 Kast ~$1.60 (expensive) ~7.93% 1.5% (locked) Custodial ⚠️ $2 ~10 min Solana-native, credit mode Flat fees kill small purchases Large USD/Solana spends only 8 Oobit ~$1.74 (very expensive) ~17.5% 1–10% (tiered) Self-Custodial ✅ Free ~7 min Direct wallet link (no preload) $0.25 min fee destroys small tx Large transactions only 1. ????

Note: The phrase "up to" does a lot of heavy lifting. Actual: 1% cashback on all purchases up to $10,000 Cashback paid in USDC on the 10th of each month 5% APY on Stablecoin No 50% subscription discounts FX Cost & Conversion Fee The Promise: "Zero FX Fees on Direct Pairs" (meaning a fee is applied here) https://preview.redd.it/rwiw16axodeh1.jpg?width=945&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=56460937cfaf389808490e5200de493dad7dfc7a The Baseline Market Cost: $1.48 (Based on the true mid-market rate) The Actual Deducted Charge: $1.50 The Hidden Spread: A 1.18% markup applied on top of the mid-market exchange rate. Cashback: With the included 1% Cashback, this brings Coca to a 0% fee for the first $10,000 spent monthly 2. ????EtherFi https://preview.redd.it/cl7t5qezodeh1.png?width=617&format=png&auto=webp&s=4fd4286520d90e6707d36e4038de66d516626f79 Charged: $1.50 Base Cashback: 3% Instant Remaining: $8.55 with instant cashback. Wallet Architecture: Fully Non-Custodial ✅ Card Costs & Limits Virtual Card: 1st Virtual Free (Additional virtual cards are $10). Physical Card: $50 ⚠️ (Metal cards are unlocked on higher VIP tiers). Spend Limit: Up to $30,000/day on the free Core tier. ATM Withdrawals: $250/day limit with a 2% flat fee per withdrawal (there is no free tier for cash withdrawals). Sign-Up & KYC Process Total Setup Time: ~8 minutes Email Verification ID/Passport Scan Verification Questionnaire Mobile Number Verification The Claim vs. The Reality Claims: 3% Cashback Borrow without selling Up to 5% APY Earn on Autopilot Actual 3% Cashback on first $2,000 monthly spend You can spend against collateral while it continues to earn yield in a Vault. Liquid vaults offer high APY. The highest yield offer currently is Euro Yield 11.39% Real FX Cost & Conversion Spread The Promise: 0% FX fees on EUR and USD, with a 0% to 0.5% markup (plus network rate) for other currencies. https://preview.redd.it/xuc2xaaxodeh1.jpg?width=945&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=99e42c4e83fd7b49631a2925f0ae5e89e9a62413 The Reality: While they do apply a small FX spread to convert your ZAR purchase, the cashback completely absorbs it. The Baseline Market Cost: $1.48 (Based on the true mid-market rate) The Actual Deducted Charge: $1.49 The Hidden Spread (Gross): A 0.51% markup applied on top of the mid-market exchange rate during the swipe. The Verdict: While EtherFi does apply a 0.51% network/FX spread when you swipe in Rands, their massive upfront cashback completely neutralizes the fee. Because your net cost was only $1.45, you mathematically paid less than the global market value for those chips. As long as you stay under the $2,000 monthly cap to retain that high cashback tier, you are literally beating the system on every swipe. 3. ????Bitget Wallet Charged: $1.49 Base Cashback: Full Fx Fee Refunded later. Remaining: $8.51 Wallet Architecture: Fully Non-Custodial ✅ Card Costs & Limits Virtual Card: Free Physical Card: $49 (Processing & Shipping fee) Spend Limit: Up to $5,000 daily limit. $100,000 yearly limit. ATM Withdrawals: No ATM withdrawals or over-the-counter cash withdrawals. Sign-Up & KYC Process Total Setup Time: 10 minutes Email Verification ID/Passport Scan National ID Number (Entered Separately) Verification Questionnaire Mobile Number Verification The Claim vs. The Reality Bitget is pushing hard into the African market (rolling out in SA in May 2026) and their marketing is aggressive, but they actually deliver on the backend utility. Claims: 0 fees Bank Transfers $5 bonus on sign up Earn as you spend Actual: Fx Fee is returned as pending cashback on transaction fees. This can only be claimed once the accumulated cashback balance exceeds $1.00. $5 Bonus unlocks after a single $5 transaction is made Bank Transfer using Banxa incurs as 6% fee The Real FX Cost & Conversion Spread The Promise: Non-USD payment fees - 1.7% https://preview.redd.it/hnay18axodeh1.jpg?width=945&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1dcc2713296fb25e79705edfac14396027be33ca The Reality: Out of all the cards tested, Bitget's Mastercard rails proved to be the most transparent and closest to the true mid-market rate. The Baseline Market Cost: $1.47 (Based on Mastercards true mid-market rate) The Actual Deducted Charge: $1.49 The Hidden Spread: An incredibly low 0.51% markup applied on top of the mid-market exchange rate during the swipe. Below the 1.7% fee Bitget promises. The Verdict: When you factor in the $0.02 guaranteed cashback, your net effective cost drops to exactly $1.47 Bitget Wallet essentially subsidizes the entire Mastercard network fee, giving you a mathematically perfect mid-market exchange rate. 4. Wirex One Charged: $1.49 Base Cashback: 0.5% Remaining: $8.5 Wallet Architecture: Custodial ⚠️ Card Costs & Limits Virtual Card: Free Physical Card: ⚠️ Locked under Premium tiers Spend Limit: High daily limits, but heavily dependent on your tier and source of wealth checks. ATM Withdrawals: Free up to roughly $250/month (200 GBP/EUR equivalent); a 2% fee applies thereafter. Sign-Up & KYC Process Total Setup Time: ~12 minutes ⚠️ Email Verification ID/Passport Scan National ID Number (Entered Separately) Proof of Address - Strict verification required) Verification Questionnaire: The Claim vs. The Reality Claims: One of the original pioneers of the crypto card. Up to 8% Cryptoback on purchases Zero-fee FX globally Actual: Around since 2014, but the rewards system has become highly tokenized over the years. Token-Locked. To hit that 8%, you have to lock up a massive amount of their native WXT token. Standard base-tier users usually earn a modest 0.5% cashback, and it is paid entirely in WXT (which is subject to market volatility) rather than stable USDC. Mostly True. Wirex uses real-time OTC. However my ledger shows a tiny "ghost fee" Real FX Cost & Conversion Spread The Promise: 0% Fx Fee Globally. https://preview.redd.it/ha3f6iaxodeh1.jpg?width=945&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8c3d3d463afd213a5456ed468547f04c248dba8 The Math Breakdown: Initial Balance: $10.00 The Swipe Charge (What the terminal requested): $1.49 Your Final Balance: $8.50 Total Actual Deduction: $1.50 The All-In Hidden Spread: A 1.18% markup on top of the mid-market exchange rate. The Verdict Wirex is highly competitive. A final all-in spread of 1.18% puts them right next to Coca and Bitget as one of the cheapest cards to use for spending Rands in South Africa. The only major downside is that their cashback is paid in their volatile native token (WXT) instead of stablecoins, and their strict Proof of Address requirements can make onboarding a headache. 5. RedotPay (Most Used in ZA) https://preview.redd.it/u61o1kbyodeh1.png?width=395&format=png&auto=webp&s=6b5dcf163e3654891ba8bd7da1bbcec100f9fe43 Charged: $1.515 (rounded up to $1.52) Base Cashback: 0% Remaining: - $8.48. *Card was $10 alone, so I needed to add $20 for this test. Wallet Architecture: Custodial ⚠️ Card Costs & Limits Virtual Card: $10 Physical Card: $100 + International Shipping Spend Limit: $1 Million yearly ($100,000 per-transaction limit) ATM Withdrawals: 2% fee up to $10,000 monthly (increases to 3% for amounts above $10,000). There is no fee-free ATM tier. Sign-Up & KYC Process Total Setup Time: ~12 minutes ⚠️ (Slightly longer due to address verification) Email Verification: ✅ ID/Passport Scan: ✅ National ID Number (Entered Separately): ✅ Proof of Address (POA): ✅ (Required for full limits) Verification Questionnaire: ✅ Mobile Number Verification: ✅ The Claim vs. The Reality Claim: "Up to 40% referral commission" and competitive conversion rates. Note: Their perks lean entirely toward affiliates rather than rewarding everyday consumers for spending. Actual: 0% cashback on regular card spending Yield earning available on stablecoins (USDT/USDC) Crypto credit lines available against collateral. P2P Integrated (with almost no usage though) USD and EU Banking Accounts A great Referral program FX Cost & Conversion Fee The Promise: "High Limits, Low Fees" (Typically citing a ~1% internal crypto-to-fiat conversion fee). https://preview.redd.it/susrflaxodeh1.jpg?width=945&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa20f1acdd294fe7a6c51b3c5cfaaae36abdbd60 The Baseline Market Cost: $1.48 (Based on the true mid-market rate) The Actual Deducted Charge: Claimed - $1.515 Actual in bank - $1.2 The Hidden Spread: A 2.53%% markup applied on top of the mid-market exchange rate. Cashback: With 0% base cashback, RedotPay offers no consumer rewards to offset this spread, making that ~2.53% markup your true, out-of-pocket expense 6. Bybit Card https://preview.redd.it/fb263vezodeh1.png?width=604&format=png&auto=webp&s=a3fab4230ef0c8ab1e87e9cae7c33d8c33988023 Charged: $1.50 Base Cashback: *2% given in points. Remaining: $8.47 Wallet Architecture: Custodial ⚠️ Card Costs & Limits Virtual Card: Free Physical Card: $29.99 ⚠️ Spend Limit: Up to $10,000 daily / $50,000 monthly ATM Withdrawals: First $100 per month is free; a 2% flat fee applies to all withdrawals after that. Sign-Up & KYC Process Total Setup Time: Usually fast, but heavily gated for South Africans. Email Verification ID/Passport Scan National ID Number (Entered Separately) Proof of Address (POA) Tax Number Authenticator Set Up The Claim vs. The Reality Claims: Up to 10% Cashback Cashback on every purchase $10 Airdrop after depositing $100 100% off some subscriptions Actual: 2% on starter tier Paid in points. The cashback isn't paid directly in USDC. $10 Airdrop includes a 100 USDT Deposit and spending on the card. Must manually claim Must spend 500 USDT a month to unlock 100% subscription cashback. Works for multiple subscriptions The Real FX Cost & Conversion Spread The Promise: A transparent ~2% Foreign Exchange Fee. https://preview.redd.it/7lllufaxodeh1.jpg?width=945&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=075b9b875e5774bd0e15decfd6031b69c57389a0 The Reality: Bybit actually hits you with a "Double Fee" if you hold stablecoins. They charge a 2% FX fee for spending outside of USD/EUR, but they also charge a 0.9% Crypto Conversion Fee to convert your USDC into fiat to fund the transaction. They claim a “Currency & Fee Breakdown” where they show exactly how I paid $1.5. However, my balance showed something else. On further investigation, I can see the actual USDC charge was $1.5237. When you spend using their card, you aren't just dealing with standard Visa or Mastercard fees… You are also dealing with Bybit's internal exchange fees for converting your crypto into fiat before the swipe even happens. https://preview.redd.it/0d1xfjaxodeh1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=2eb4d6b59c9b52647190e9cd9aa1da01759f1ff7 Let's break down your exact math: Initial Balance: $10.00 Actual USDC Deducted: -1.5237 USDC Final Balance: $8.47 The Baseline Market Cost: $1.48 The Actual Deducted Charge: $1.52 (1.5237) The Hidden Spread (Gross): A 2.53 % markup applied on top of the mid-market exchange rate. (This perfectly matches their 2% FX fee + roughly 0.9% crypto conversion fee) The Verdict Bybit's fee structure is heavy. Hitting you with a 2% regional FX fee plus a 0.9% crypto conversion fee pushes your gross markup to almost 3%. While the 2% cashback brings your net out-of-pocket cost back down to $1.49 (a highly competitive net rate of ~0.76% above market), those rewards are paid in points, making it a bit more tedious than cards like EtherFi that pay out instantly in stablecoins. The 100% off subscriptions are a heavy incentive, though. 7. Kast https://preview.redd.it/9mmulwezodeh1.png?width=677&format=png&auto=webp&s=6a46ccfe7d04a35b5b13bfb17038090ae60a5d1d Charged: $1.60 Base Cashback: 1.5% Remaining: $6.40 *Incl $2 Virtual Card Wallet Architecture: Custodial ⚠️ Card Costs & Limits Virtual Card: $2 ⚠️ (Kast markets the base tier as "free" in 2026, but regional variations or legacy signups often trigger this $2 issuance fee). Physical Card: ~$40 + Delivery Spend Limit: Unlimited daily purchases. ATM Withdrawals: $3 flat fee + 2% of the withdrawal amount ⚠️ (Very expensive for pulling ZAR cash locally). Sign-Up & KYC Process Total Setup Time: ~10 minutes Email Verification ID/Passport/Drivers Scan National ID Number (Entered Separately) Proof of Address (POA) Verification Questionnaire Mobile Number Verification The Claim vs. The Reality Kast heavily markets itself as a premium, Solana-native lifestyle card. The perks are solid, but they come with strings attached. Claims: 0.5-1.75% Fx Fees 1.5% cashback. Solana-First Architecture Actual $0.10 to $0.20 "Low Transaction Surcharge" on any non-USD purchase under $25. On the standard tier, you get 1.5% cashback. However, the catch is that it has a 14-day holding period and cannot be withdrawn to external wallets. It is locked inside the Kast ecosystem to offset future card purchases. Top-ups flow through the Solana network (USDC, USDT, SOL), delivering near-instant settlement and sub-cent gas fees to fund your card. The Real FX Cost & Conversion Spread The Promise: up to 1.7% fx on purchases under $25. A flat $0.10 on any purchase under $25. https://preview.redd.it/6jlkeirxodeh1.png?width=945&format=png&auto=webp&s=a49c000625364a082c009dad5130fea0a2ba663e The Reality: Kast absolutely punishes small, everyday local purchases due to a hidden micro-transaction penalty buried in their terms of service. The Math on Your End: $10 deposit - $2 virtual card fee - $6.40 remaining balance = $1.60 deducted for the chips. The Baseline Market Cost: $1.47 (Based on the true mid-market rate) The Actual Deducted Charge: $1.60 The Hidden Spread: A massive ~7.93% markup. They claim there is either a 0.5-1.75% fee or a $0.10 fee. But in this case they’ve included both a 1.18% markup + $0.10 The Verdict: Kast works as a card if you are spending heavily in USD or moving large amounts of money on the Solana network. However, for daily, small-ticket ZAR spending like coffee or groceries, their flat low-transaction fees make them mathematically one of the most expensive cards you could possibly use in South Africa. 8. Oobit https://preview.redd.it/a3ci2u2zodeh1.png?width=549&format=png&auto=webp&s=d8d2896409c540be77efd425de508f2f2574ca71 Charged: $1.74 Base Cashback: 1% Remaining: $8.26 Wallet Architecture: Web3 Bridge (Self-Custodial) - Funds stay in your own Web3 wallet until the split-second the transaction is authorized Card Costs & Limits Virtual Card: Free Physical Card: ❌ Not available. The platform operates entirely via Apple Pay and Google Pay integration. Spend Limit: Up to $5,000 daily / $150,000 monthly. ATM Withdrawals: Not supported (virtual only). Sign-Up & KYC Process Total Setup Time: +-7 minutes Email Verification ID/Passport Scan National ID Number (Entered Separately) Verification Questionnaire Mobile Number Verification The Claim vs. The Reality Claims: Up to 10% Cashback Never Pre-Load Again Bitcoin Debit Card Actual: Heavy spending or Oobit Token Spending is required. The 10% rate is strictly limited to purchases made using their native OOB token. If you pay with stablecoins (USDT/USDC), cashback tops out at 5%. You only unlock that rate after you have already spent $1,500 through the app within a 90-day cycle. Oobit aggressively markets its cashback program, but the reality is heavily restricted by regional and asset limitations. This is their killer feature. You can send money to your account, but unlike crypto cards, Oobit connects directly to your wallet, staying in crypto until you pay, with no preloading. You can absolutely pay with Bitcoin Directly, but watch out for fees. The Real FX Cost & Conversion Spread The Promise: Oobit is transparent about pricing, 1% transaction fee OR a $0.25 minimum, whichever is higher. https://preview.redd.it/tecl2oaxodeh1.jpg?width=945&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5b4d90ef0c955b6e78b9540126dc872ba98a2ff The Reality: I paid a 0.51% fee + the $0.25 The Baseline Market Cost: $1.48 The Oobit Flat Fee: 0.51% + $0.25 The Actual Deducted Charge: $1.74 The Hidden Spread: A staggering 17.5% markup applied on top of the mid-market exchange rate. The Verdict Oobit’s underlying technology is arguably the best on the market right now for true Web3 self-custody. However, their fee structure makes them completely unusable for small, everyday purchases in South Africa. If you use Oobit to buy an R5,000 plane ticket, you will only pay a standard 1% fee. But if you use Oobit to buy a R25 coffee or packet of chips, that $0.25 minimum flat fee will hit you with a 15% to 20% effective markup every single time. submitted by /u/tristynjoshua [link] [comments]

Why I don't want to move back to banks

COINS NEWS

The longer I'm in crypto the less I like the idea of relying on banks for everything. The biggest problem has never been self-custody it has been usability. If I can hold my own assets, why should I have to move them back into a bank account every time I want to buy something? I feel like the missing piece is a way to keep full control of my funds while still being able to spend them as easily as using a regular card. Maybe I'm asking for too much but this feels like the future I signed up for when I first got into crypto submitted by /u/Fluid_Marketing3880 [link] [comments]

Binance ended my licensed P2P business over "account sharing" with my husband. Now the EU has ended Binance.

COINS NEWS

I used to be a P2P Professional Service provider in Poland. Registered VASP, absolutely tax compliant, 4+ years on Binance, 48,000+ completed trades, 98%+ constructive suggestions, monthly volume up to 7 figures in PLN. On April 13 Binance terminated my account. The one purpose given: "violation of Phrases of Use." No clause. No rationalization. Over the subsequent 32 days I requested greater than 15 totally different help brokers to only inform me which term I violated. Every single one refused. My husband's private account obtained terminated as properly, and his a minimum of came with a purpose: Account Sharing. So here's our "crime." We're married. His fingerprint is on my telephone and mine is on his. When his battery died he'd log in on my telephone, when mine died I used his. We know each other's passwords, our money is collectively, we don't cover something from one another except perhaps birthday presents. That's not fraud. That's a traditional marriage. Binance's danger system apparently can't tell the distinction between criminals sharing accounts and a wife and husband sharing a telephone. And the way rigorously was my case reviewed? At 11:31 UTC an escalations agent wrote to me, word for phrase: "we apply a diligent and cautious strategy, completely analyzing every case." My account was terminated the same day at 13:58 UTC. Two and a half hours of "thorough examination" to erase a 4-year enterprise. No one asked me for a single doc. Similar day, one agent requested me if I needed to attraction while one other informed me no attraction channel exists. They couldn't even agree on that. Funny thing: as soon as earlier than, the same local workforce restricted my account "until 2030" by mistake, and Binance International overturned it within 24 hours. So I know exactly what their native staff's accuracy appears like. What did they actually lose? Not just volume. In 4 years as a merchant I ended a whole lot of scam makes an attempt alone orders. Elderly individuals, individuals who clearly had a scammer on the telephone with them teaching them by way of the cost, I cancelled these orders and advised them what was occurring as an alternative of taking their cash. When somebody paid after an order was already cancelled, I sent the money again, each time, even when no one would have ever recognized. I used to be precisely the sort of service provider a P2P platform is meant to want. Terminated over a shared telephone, with no attraction. Now the karma part. Three months after they threw me out for "compliance" causes they refused to call, Binance is gone from the Play Store across the EU and its providers are shutting down for European customers, because they never managed to get a MiCA license. They demanded good, unexplained compliance from a small licensed service provider in Poland whereas failing to stay compliant on a whole continent. I don't anticipate Binance to care. I simply need this on the document. Should you're a merchant reading this: your stats won't shield you, your feedback won't shield you, your license won't shield you. You're one algorithm flag away from being nothing to them, and there's no one to talk to when it happens. And this wasn't simply me. Whoever runs compliance for Binance Poland: I watched what your selections did to the PLN market. Before July 1 there were moments when solely 2 retailers have been online on the complete PLN P2P market. On Bybit and Bitget, over 100. That wasn't regulation doing that, MiCA hit every change the identical. That was you, clearing out your personal verified, licensed, tax-paying merchants one after the other till the order guide was a ghost city, while your rivals stored theirs. A compliance department exists to maintain the enterprise protected AND alive. You have been getting paid to make it higher, to not make it worse. You didn't shield the PLN market from danger. You protected it from present. submitted by /u/Sunflower5115 [link] [comments]

bitcoin dies without freedom

COINS NEWS

in a world without freedom, democracy and civilization bitcoin cannot be used for anything IRL or swap it for fiat because they would be traced and once they know they can fuck with you in a thousand way, legal or not. what scares me is this, not the price dropping but the big corpo and govs VS the individuals. on the positive side, if adoptions keeps rising (and it will as long as crime, war and shit like this keep happening); nothing can go after everyone! could some big entity make some actions to slow adoption until it stops entirely? or would it drive adoption even more, regardless of the risks derived by being a victim of these actions? i know real things affect the price but it’s always unrelated to btc. what if the news and btc are the same, how does it unfold? like what happened with the exchange drama or normal people losing money or the kidnappings of rich men in france? submitted by /u/cleankiwii [link] [comments]

How to pick between swap aggregators when the rates look almost identical

COINS NEWS

Ran the same BTC to XMR swap through a few different sites last week and the quotes landed within a few bucks of each other. The whole "best rate" thing felt pointless, so stopped looking at the headline number. The rate you see at quote time changes on a floating quote. Many instant swaps use floating rates where the final rate shifts during confirmation or a volatile block window. On a two minute swap that barely matters. On something bigger, or when the network is jammed, it moves enough to wipe out the tiny edge you thought you were getting. What separates them is what happens when a swap stalls or you send funds on the wrong network. When a swap fails, time to refund dominates the experience. Partner quality matters more than a tiny rate edge. That's the part rate comparisons skip. Used a few over time, but what I keep coming back to is consistency. Skipping account setup and having reliable processing time has ended up mattering more than squeezing out a slightly better quote. When moving something time sensitive, having a platform that just works through the confirmation window is the deciding factor. submitted by /u/BruiseWayneee [link] [comments]

almost every "crypto stats" post floating around still cites 2022-2023 numbers. pulled together what I could actually verify against a named source, all from 2025 or 2026 $19B liquidated in 24 hours on Oct 10 2025. largest single-day liquidation in crypto history, roughly 9x any previous day. 1.62 million accounts wiped (CoinDesk Research) derivatives are 82% of all crypto volume now. ~$209B derivatives vs ~$22B spot daily average. most people think they're trading spot, they're actually in a leverage market (TokenInsight Q1 2026) ~65% of crypto volume is automated, estimates reach 86% counting all algo execution. traditional markets run 60-75%, so crypto's now more machine-driven than TradFi (MEXC Research 2026) 97% of persistent day traders lose money, this is the Brazilian CVM study that followed traders past 300 sessions, not just people who quit early. Taiwan data puts consistently profitable traders under 1% net of fees (Chague, De-Losso & Giovannetti) stablecoins settled $7.2T in Feb 2026, surpassed the US ACH network in a single month for the first time (Artemis/Reap) only 7% of prop firm challenge traders ever reach a payout. pass rates run 5-14% depending on the firm, but passing and getting paid are very different numbers (FPFX Tech, 300k+ accounts) $11.4B lost to crypto scams in 2025, up 22% YoY. traders 60+ accounted for $4.4B of that (FBI IC3) happy to pull the specific citation for any of these if anyone wants to verify submitted by /u/Suitable_Acadia_190 [link] [comments]

What are your favourite crypto exchanges?

COINS NEWS

My current favourite is Kraken because of its similarity to Binance. I used Binance a lot in the past because of very low fees for trading, but they failed to secure the MiCA regulation authorization in my country. Coinbase has higher fees, but sometimes I use Coinbase as a second option just to move crypto around. I've tried Bybit, but there is too much KYC; it's like they wanna know what's inside your asshole. Also, the fees are high. submitted by /u/RevolutionaryCost59 [link] [comments]

We used to obsess over decentralization, privacy, and ownership… now we're handing everything to AI. Did the script just flip on us?

COINS NEWS

Remember when the whole point of crypto was "not your keys, not your coins"? We spent years talking about self-custody, privacy, and getting away from centralized control. Now look around. People are feeding their most private data, decisions, and even financial choices straight into AI systems run by a handful of big companies. No pushback, no hesitation. It's like the narrative just... changed, and most people didn't even notice the shift. Is this a natural evolution of tech adoption, or did we quietly trade one form of control for another? Curious how the Bitcoin community sees this playing out. Are we going to see a similar decentralization push for AI like we did for money, or is this ship already sailed?

Bitcoin unit

COINS NEWS

Right now bitcoin unit is 1 bitcoin. Given the price, if you spend $500 you can purchase roughly 0.007 bitcoin. Just the idea of 0.007 sounds very depressing for anything, but 700k satoshi would give a different impression otherwise. If the unit is normalized to satoshi, this allow people to reduce the mental barrier of buying something mathematically so little and feels like they are owning more.

Capitulation metrics just hit Nov 2022 levels — plus 4 other things from this week

COINS NEWS

Been tracking a few things this week worth sharing. The capitulation read. Relative long/short-term holder realized profit/loss to exchanges spiked to a level we haven't seen since Nov/Dec 2022, which marked the exact cycle bottom. Institutional access keeps widening. Morgan Stanley rolled out spot BTC trading on E*Trade to roughly 8.6M clients. T. Rowe Price launched an actively managed spot crypto ETP with ~40% in Bitcoin. Both in the same week, in a bear market. South Korea. Their new National Asset Basic Act brings digital assets under government asset management for the first time since 1950. This is a management law, not a strategic reserve. However, pair this with Japan moving toward Bitcoin ETFs last week and it is clear Asia's biggest economies are quietly building Bitcoin into their financial systems. Debasement continues. M2 money supply hit a new all-time high of $23.05T. National debt around $39.4T. Most interested in what people think about the capitulation read specifically. Bottom signals seem to be flashing everywhere, is this real or will there be another leg down before we test lower?

Data Center Takeover on The Blockchain

COINS NEWS

Rewritten with AI for clarity. I don't have a deep understanding of how the Bitcoin blockchain works, but my understanding is that if a single entity, or a group of entities acting together, controlled more than 50% of the network's mining hash rate, they could potentially create an alternate version of the blockchain and have it accepted as the valid chain for as long as they maintained that majority. Is that correct? If so, could they create fraudulent blocks that appear to show many unrelated wallets sending them large amounts of Bitcoin, even though those transactions were never actually authorized by the owners of those wallets? If they maintained control of the majority hash rate for a period of time, could they use those fraudulently obtained coins to purchase goods or convert them into USD before the honest network regained control and replaced the fraudulent chain with the legitimate one? More broadly, could a very large data center operator, or several of the world's largest operators working together, realistically accumulate enough Bitcoin mining hash rate to exceed 50% of the network? I know the hash rate of AI focused GPUs is probably a lot lower than ASICs. If such an attack were technically feasible, what would the approximate cost be in terms of electricity? How much Bitcoin would an attacker need to extract through double-spending or other attacks for the operation to become profitable after accounting for those costs? submitted by /u/BOLETHESTONKMAN [link] [comments]

Browsercoin Dev Update: We Redesigned our Proof-of-Work from Scratch to be Browser-First, after GPU farms took over our Browser based Coin.

COINS NEWS

TL;DR: browserCoin is meant to be mined competitively in a browser tab, but GPU farms took over our old Argon2id PoW and killed that. So we built a new proof-of-work, Sandglass, that's memory-latency-bound instead of bandwidth-bound the one thing GPUs can't brute-force with parallelism. Result: a browser tab on a normal consumer CPU out-hashes a rented H100, and barely loses to an RTX 5090 that burns 262 W to get there. Even writing a native C miner buys you almost nothing over the browser. So mining in the browser is truely a good way to mine now. The vision, and where it broke The whole idea of browserCoin is that you can be a full node in a browser open a tab, verify the chain, and mine, no install, no farm, fully decentralized. Make it so easy that everyone can be part of a decentralized network just open a tab and you are a full node. For that to mean anything, mining in a browser has to actually be competitive. A regular tab has to earn a meaningful share and utilize your hardware to the maximum. A few weeks ago we saw a big influx of hashrate the network jumped from ~25 kH/s to nearly 1 MH/s in about two days, while the number of unique miners actually shrank. Single addresses were implying 100+ kH/s each, which is thousands of browser-tabs' worth of work. That's not browsers. That's GPU farms. https://preview.redd.it/717joxky19eh1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d87af3db672b31f85bb22eae83dbe86fb5c6cc44 That's exactly the outcome the project exists to avoid. Once farms dominate, there's no point mining in a browser anymore and the browser tab is the entire point. Why the old algorithm wasn't enough Our PoW was Argon2id, 32 MB, one pass. It was chosen as a middle ground: memory-hard, runs fine in a browser via WASM, and supposedly hostile to GPUs. It wasn't hostile enough. Argon2id is memory-bandwidth-hard it streams a large buffer, and that's precisely the workload GPUs are built for: thousands of cores and enormous memory bandwidth chewing through many hashes in parallel. A GPU farm was getting something like a 10–20× edge over a browser tab. The idea was right; the algorithm wasn't the right fit for the mission. So we designed a new one specifically around this coin's goal: a browser-first PoW where running it in a browser tab is within a hair of the theoretical best, and specialized hardware buys you almost nothing. We call it Sandglass. How we achieved that latency, not bandwidth The key switch: instead of being memory-bandwidth-hard, Sandglass is memory-latency-hard. Each hash walks a long chain of dependent random reads and writes over a small (512 KiB) buffer. Every step's memory address depends on the result of the previous step so you literally cannot start step N+1 until step N has come back from memory. Two consequences: You can't parallelize within a hash. The work is inherently serial, so a GPU's thousands of cores can't team up on a single hash they just stall waiting on each other. The buffer is small enough to live in fast CPU cache (L2). A browser/CPU serves each dependent random access in a few nanoseconds. A GPU can run many hashes side-by-side, but each one is still bottlenecked on the latency of a dependent random memory access and a GPU's latency to its own memory isn't meaningfully better than a CPU's L2. The one thing GPUs are great at (parallel throughput and bandwidth) simply doesn't apply. The net effect is that a browser tab is bound by the exact same thing the fastest hand-written native miner is bound by: memory latency. There's no bandwidth lever left for a farm to pull. Our tests We didn't want to take our own word for it, so we benchmarked hard: - Cross-implementation determinism: browser WASM, native C, and CUDA/HIP GPU kernels all produce bit-identical hashes (required for consensus every node must agree). - 90+ real devices, community-submitted plus hardware we rented: phones, laptops, desktops, and datacenter GPUs including A100, H100, and an RTX 5090. Results: - Browser WASM lands within ~10% of hand-optimized native C on the same machine. Writing a miner in C buys you almost nothing over a browser tab. - A top-end GPU (5090) drops from the old ~10–20× advantage down to roughly ~1.6–3× and it burns an order of magnitude more power to get there. On hashes-per-joule, CPUs/browsers beat every GPU we tested. Building a farm stops making economic sense. - Full local + across-the-fork end-to-end runs (difficulty reset, mixed-algorithm chain validation, resync) before shipping. https://preview.redd.it/4gdj55gp49eh1.png?width=716&format=png&auto=webp&s=74719217c8c0e770af70b6299a3056a15afb09ec Being honest about the limits - iOS/Safari is currently weak (Safari's JS/WASM codegen throttles the walk). It's a known soft spot; a later reward-smoothing change will let weak devices still earn proportionally. - We're fighting hardware with algorithm design, which history says is an ongoing effort, not a one-time win. We know that and we're committed to it. Rollout This is a hard fork that preserves everything same chain, same balances, same full history. It's height-gated: it activates at block 33,550 (~July 22). If you run a tab, just open the site once before then and it auto-updates. No action needed on balances. submitted by /u/swompythesecond [link] [comments]

GoMining Calculator

Hi All, I’ve been using GoMining for about 6 months and was struggling to understand an optimal investment approach so made a calculator to save me re-running iterations to calculates my profits - I’ve finally converted it to a functional website. Its essentially my spreadsheet but auto updates live data/prices and produces a graph that helps to visualise an investmentbapproach when buying a miner off the market so you can see whether locking more GMT for a bigger discount actually pays off or just ties up capital for nothing. You’ll be surprised at the results, as locking GMT doesn’t always yield the optimal approach. It pulls live BTC/GMT prices too which saves me updating things manually. Give it a try here: gominingcalculator.net Happy to take feedback — there's a feedback form built into the site if you spot something off or want a feature added. Mr personal collection: - Number of Miners = 9 - Power = 132.31TH - Efficiency = 15W/TH - Total Rewards = 0.00522312BTC Would love any comments/feedback! Also, what happened to moons?

PredictAsiaX — Asia’s Production Prediction Market (95% complete, still in final development)

COINS NEWS

PredictAsiaX is a full-stack prediction market built for Asia. The platform is currently about 95% complete and still in the final development stage. Core infrastructure has been running in continuous production since 18 April 2026 (89 calendar days as of the latest update). Multi-chain USDT custody, multi-source oracle, settlement engines, public proof system, and the full trading interface are already live. User acquisition has not started, and trading is currently gated while the team finishes the remaining work. All activity to date is internal QA. Core design: • USDT-native + multi-chain Accepts USDT deposits from 8 EVM chains + Tron under a single custodial address per user. Designed around how Asian retail actually moves money. • 13 languages from day one Including Arabic and Hebrew with full RTL support. • Two market surfaces Long-form markets (sports, politics, crypto, macro, tech, entertainment) with structured settlement. Fast markets (1-minute / 5-minute / 15-minute / 1-hour binary rounds on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB) for high-frequency trading. • Additional layers Parlay builder, copy trading, creator economy (anyone can create markets and earn a share of fees), LP earn, and VIP fee discounts. Settlement & trust: Settlement is currently off-chain on a double-entry ledger with daily reconciliation. Every settled market produces a public, unauthenticated `/proof/` page that returns market outcome, LLM verdicts from multiple providers, article content hashes + snapshot URLs, and an ed25519 signature. Anyone can independently verify the evidence trail. A hard-void watchdog forces resolution within a bounded time window so no market stays open indefinitely. The oracle layer runs ~50 external data sources across multiple fallback tiers plus an adaptive multi-provider LLM resolution system with self-critique and per-engine accuracy tracking. There are currently 39 settlement engines (23 general + 16 sports). Current status: • Development progress: approximately 95% complete • Production infrastructure live since 18 April 2026 • Organic public users: 0 (acquisition has not begun) • Trading, deposits and withdrawals: currently paused • Remaining work is focused on final checks and launch preparation Website: https://predictasiax.com Full platform overview with live screenshots: https://predictasiax.com/overview.pdf Happy to answer questions about the architecture, oracle design, multi-chain custody, or the public proof system. submitted by /u/Actual-Ad2198 [link] [comments]

BTC’s got a death cross and a record 60 day negative Coinbase premium, but Armstrong’s calling $60K the bottom. My read: not yet.

COINS NEWS

Been chewing on the BTC setup this weekend and it’s a mixed one. On paper it looks rough. Death cross confirmed, still ~12% under the 200-day, and the Coinbase premium’s been negative 60 days straight, a record. Counterweight is Armstrong calling $60K the floor, MACD ticking up, and a ~7% bounce off the June low. So not a clean short either. What kills it for me is volume. The bounce is running on maybe half the average, so there’s no conviction behind it. And Warsh’s Fed isn’t cutting anytime soon with a live FOMC end of month.

It's not just Bitcoin: every major chain uses the same quantum-vulnerable signatures, and Ethereum is arguably more exposed

COINS NEWS

Secure yourself with 5 steps: 1. Use a modern HD wallet. Any current hardware or standard software wallet generates a fresh address per receive - that alone puts you in the safe column. 2. Never reuse an address you have spent from. Spending reveals the public key forever; anything left behind sits in the exposed pile. 3. If you hold coins on old or reused addresses, move them once to a freshly generated modern address. That single transaction takes them out of the harvest-now-decrypt-later pool. 4. Watch for the upgrade, not the headlines. The milestone that matters is a quantum-resistant address type going live (BIP-360 or a successor) - adopt it when it ships. Chip announcements with bigger qubit counts are not the signal. 5. Do not panic-sell on quantum news. The threat is a solvable, years-away engineering problem the ecosystem is already working on - a reason for hygiene, not for exit. full version with the tables at https://gmdmarkets.com/does-quantum-threaten-bitcoin submitted by /u/Prestigious-Bank2145 [link] [comments]

The most important thing when automating a strategy

COINS NEWS

I have built several strategies - and one thing that never fails to be the centerpiece; the regime watcher. You can have the best strategy in the world. But if it activates at the wrong times it turns into the worst. I have found that sometimes the most basic regime catches the edge, for other strategies you need a complex regime gate. Currently I have a momentum trading algorithm and the best result was; most complex. I have set up a HMM model to define when it is actually risk on. On the flip side to catch a short trade I found simple MA regimes had the highest hit rate. Make them MECE and it’s a great combo. Besides these two you also have universe regimes, HMM models, volatility, the fantastic fear/greed, sentiments. Every gate with its own benefit. Just wondering.

The weird moment when you stop checking the price every day.

COINS NEWS

Been holding for a few years now and something shifted recently-I just... stopped checking the price constantly. Used to open the app first thing in the morning, now I genuinely go weeks without looking, and when I do check it's more out of curiosity than anxiety. Didn't consciously decide to do this, it just kind of happened once I mentally filed it as long term thing I'm not touching instead of thing I need to monitor. Weirdly freeing compared to how I used to feel about it, checking constantly and letting the daily swings mess with my mood. Anyone else go through this shift?

Como vocês usam IA para analisar o Bitcoin? Estou desenvolvendo uma ferramenta e gostaria de feedback.

COINS NEWS

Nos últimos meses venho estudando como a Inteligência Artificial pode ajudar na análise do mercado de Bitcoin, principalmente na identificação de tendências, gerenciamento de risco e redução das decisões emocionais. Percebi que muitos traders ainda enfrentam os mesmos desafios: Entrar cedo ou tarde demais. Definir Stop Loss e Take Profit. Operar por impulso durante períodos de alta volatilidade. Por isso comecei a desenvolver uma ferramenta de IA que analisa dados do mercado e gera informações para auxiliar na tomada de decisão. O objetivo não é prever o futuro nem prometer lucros, mas fornecer análises baseadas em dados. Tenho algumas perguntas para a comunidade: Quais indicadores vocês consideram indispensáveis para analisar o Bitcoin? Vocês utilizariam uma IA apenas como apoio à decisão ou preferem fazer toda a análise manual? Quais recursos fariam vocês confiar em uma ferramenta desse tipo? Se alguém tiver interesse em conhecer o projeto e dar um feedback, deixo o link aqui: https://iapurotrade.com/index.html⁠� Toda crítica e sugestão são muito bem-vindas. submitted by /u/According_Current_27 [link] [comments]

Whatever happened to those Bored Ape partygoers who got blinded by industrial UV equipment?

COINS NEWS

You know how a bunch of people went to a Bored Ape dance party with a bunch of UV lights, but it turns out the UV lights were industrial equipment that radiated UV light at a much higher level than what was safe because the organisers didn't give a fuck, so a bunch of people went temporarily blind and got burns all over their body? I wonder how they're doing. Not in a "point and laugh at the obvious shit-stirrers getting their comeuppance" kind of way, because despite my disdain for the NFT craze and the sneering contempt NTFbros had for everyone outside of their community, there was zero excuse for the negligence shown by the party organisers and nobody deserves to go blind because they went to a dinky fuck-ass little dance party like these guys did. More than anything, I want to know if there were any long-lasting health effects due to the burns and I'd be fascinated to hear about how the affected people feel about the NFT craze and Bored Ape specifically in the aftermath of the incident. Chances are no info has ever come out, but if anyone was gonna know about any follow-up information, it'd be this sub. submitted by /u/Tracy-Jaccs [link] [comments]

How dumb would this be

COINS NEWS

So I've read that we are close to a bottom and this may be an opportunity. I have this 20k bike (my currency, not dollars) I want to buy but i only have 7k and realistically i would have to save for around 2 years to get the other 13k i need. If I buy 7k worth of bitcoin when it hits the 55k mark, and sell in around 2 years, what are the chances that it would be a good move? Is it worth the risk or is there a way smarter choice? submitted by /u/TheAspiringSage [link] [comments]

Forget price action

COINS NEWS

These are the only numbers I focus on. Adoption is all you need to keep an eye on. The rest is noise. Number will go up as demand increases and Bitcoin is uniquely set up for this based on its shrinking issuance and capped supply. The first shows adoption counts by institutions, corporates, and nations and states. The second shows the estimated BTC held. Both tables exclude treasury companies like Strategy in the corporate figures, so the numbers would be even higher if the treasury companies had been included. submitted by /u/NoBrosCrypto [link] [comments]

Looking for the "next early Bitcoin" opportunity. Any innovative ways to start from zero today?

COINS NEWS

I am completely new to the world of earning money online. I don't have any experience yet, but I am very optimistic and willing to learn. When I look back, I always think about the early days of Bitcoin when it was worth almost nothing and required very little to get into. I know we can't turn back time, but I am looking for that same kind of innovative, ground-floor opportunity today. Are there any new, unusual, or emerging platforms right now where a beginner can get in early and earn something with high future potential? I am not looking for get-rich-quick scams, just real, innovative projects or micro-tasks that are flying under the radar right now. I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. submitted by /u/Used-Title7675 [link] [comments]

I Sold Everything and Put $95,000 Into Bitcoin at 29. See You in 10 Years.

COINS NEWS

I sold every other asset I owned, stopped my pension contributions, took out loans, and we even sold our old flat in Delhi. Altogether, I have invested around $90,000 to $95,000 into BTC. I started buying near $100k, continued as it climbed toward $126k, and added more during the recent lows. This is risky, but it was calculated. My salary covers the loan payments, and based on my calculations, I should be able to repay everything within two and a half years. I would not recommend anyone blindly copy this. But after years of learning about Bitcoin, money, inflation, and scarcity, this is where my conviction is strongest. Maybe it becomes the biggest mistake of my life. Maybe it changes my family’s future. Repay the debt. Secure the Bitcoin. Come back in 10 years. submitted by /u/AutomaticService5390 [link] [comments]

Bitcoin power law

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin's price has historically tracked a long-term power law trendline — a curve that grows at a constant rate on a log-log time/price scale. I've built a small website to track how the price is doing relative to the trendline. Historically when the price falls below the trendline it signals a great buying opportunity. Similarly, price going above the trendline might flash a sell signal. Nobody knows the future price, but now is a good time to turn your DCAs - now proven by a mathematical formula. here is the link: https://www.btcpower.ai/ submitted by /u/av239 [link] [comments]

Tokenized stocks are finally real on Ethereum

COINS NEWS

I think this is not being talked about enough. Robinhood allows us to own stocks via its Ethereum L2 and apps such as Lighter already allow using them as collateral for positions. It's a matter of time until it's integrated with Aave and every other major defi app. Nearly everyone was talking about this being right around the corner a couple of years ago and how stocks were only the first step towards tokenization of real world assets. Well, now it's here. What's next? Stocks were obvious for anyone with sharp eyes, now I think the next thing to come will be government bonds/treasury securities and then probably real estate.

Robinhood Crypto

COINS NEWS

I bought RE at an average of about $0.65, and it is now around $0.40, leaving me down nearly 39%. I understand that crypto is volatile and a price drop alone does not prove anything, but it raises the question: are tokens promoted or offered through Robinhood really any safer from pump-and-dump behavior or rug pulls? Has anyone looked into RE’s tokenomics, liquidity, and who controls most of the supply?

76% of Ethereum tokens launched in the last 2 months are scams (we re-ran our 78k-token study)

COINS NEWS

Two months ago I posted here after analyzing 78,723 Ethereum token contracts and finding 46% scored as scams. I re-ran the same query today. The table now holds 112,114 contracts, and the all-time rate rose to 59.8%. But the average buries the story. Of the 31,172 tokens deployed since that post, 76.4% are scams, and the monthly rate just hit 82.8% in July. Honesty check, because I got asked this directly: how much of the 46 -> 60 jump is a scammier chain vs a sharper detector? Both, and I can't cleanly separate them: - More scams: every real-time month lands between 70% and 83% at a fixed 70+ threshold. - Sharper detector: a scam now carries 11.06 flags on average vs 8.27 in May (+34%), new detectors landed (serial-scammer bytecode, drainer kits, hidden kill-switches). Our score floors on flag COUNT, so more flags push more contracts over the line. - Late rugs: ~30% of the table gets re-scored a day+ later. A token clean at launch that pulls liquidity a week later flips clean -> scam with zero new scams deployed. TL;DR - 78,723 -> 112,114 contracts in 2 months. - All-time scam rate 46.1% -> 59.8% (three overlapping causes, not one). - New launches since May: 76.4% scams. July: 82.8%. - 441,762 distinct victim wallets traced across 5.26M scam-token transactions. Full breakdown with the monthly chart and the limits-of-our-data section: https://rektradar.io/blog/posts/new-ethereum-tokens-76-percent-scams EDIT: a few of you asked the right question, so i went and pulled it. how much of this 76% is detectable AT LAUNCH vs only later? tracking the same 24,150 launches from deploy to day 30: 48% score as scams at launch, 91% by day 30. 43% are late rugs (clean at launch, scam within a month). and 76% of the flagged ones actually got traded vs 67% of legit deploys that never trade. full writeup + chart: https://rektradar.io/blog/posts/how-many-ethereum-scams-detectable-at-launch submitted by /u/Plus-Tangerine2186 [link] [comments]

Kazakhstan just moved toward 0% tax on Bitcoin gains and legal gas-powered mining

COINS NEWS

Quick disclosure up front, since this sub is (rightly) strict about self-promotion: I maintain a project that tracks Bitcoin’s legal status across ~140 countries: legality, self-custody rights, tax treatment, seizure risk. No link here, just sharing because I think the underlying facts are worth this sub’s time on their own. On July 7, President Tokayev signed a decree that bundles three things worth knowing: 1/ Tax. A planned exemption from personal income tax on gains from digital asset transactions conducted through Kazakhstan’s regulated infrastructure. Officials have described this as “planned,” so the implementing rules aren’t fully live yet, but the direction is explicit and it came straight from the Ministry of AI and Digital Development. 2/ Mining. A new mechanism letting associated petroleum gas and natural gas that isn’t needed for state use be converted into electricity for mining operations. This is aimed at monetizing stranded/flared gas that was otherwise being wasted. 3/ Offshore coins. A framework to bring previously unregistered or offshore-held crypto assets into the regulated domestic system, alongside groundwork for stablecoin-based cross-border settlement. Context that makes this land differently: Kazakhstan is the world’s third-largest Bitcoin mining nation by hashrate, behind only the US and China. This is the same country that banned mining and slapped punitive electricity tariffs on miners back in 2021–22 after the post-China-ban influx overloaded its grid. Going from “we’re taxing you out” to “0% on gains, here’s some stranded gas to mine with” in four years is a real reversal. On the tax point specifically: if this holds as written, it puts Kazakhstan ahead of most G7 countries, several of which still tax Bitcoin gains as ordinary income with no exemption at all. For reference, across the ~140 countries I track, the current split is roughly 6 clearly pro-Bitcoin, 11 openly hostile, and the rest (~123) somewhere in between with unclear or inconsistent policy. Genuinely curious what this sub thinks: is this a real long-term bet on Bitcoin infrastructure, or a play to grab mining revenue and hashrate share while the window’s open, and does it matter which one it is? submitted by /u/The_Bitcoin_Act [link] [comments]

Calling it a day after 11 years in corporate and slide deck number 500. Now I want to build something meaningful.

COINS NEWS

11 years in corporate. Somewhere around reorganization number 10 and slide deck number 500, I stopped counting and started thinking. I don't want to be in the flywheel anymore, obeying things that make no sense and bending over to corporate politeness. I want to build something of my own and prove I can do it by myself. When I discovered Bitcoin 8 years ago, I put in the hours to understand it. After that, I could not unsee it. The mission is noble, and Bitcoin is the only thing I've ever felt worth building for. Not for the glory. For the mission. I dream about it, it occupies my mind every night before I fall asleep. Money that cannot be debased. Freedom. A heritage you can actually pass on to your kids. That resonates with me. So this year I stop watching and start building. Nights and weekends, next to the day job. Something that helps normal people get in and hold their own keys. I will probably fail in public a few times. Fine. I'm more scared of reorg number 20 than of failing at something I believe in. If you feel the same flywheel, follow along. submitted by /u/Bitcoin_First [link] [comments]

The attacker behind the May $5.8M TrustedVolumes exploit has returned 1,122 ETH (~$2M)

COINS NEWS

Original exploit (May 7, 2026): TrustedVolumes (an independent DeFi liquidity provider and RFQ market maker used by 1inch Fusion) lost approximately $5.87M–$6.7M in a single transaction. The stolen assets were ~1,291 WETH, 206k USDT, ~17 WBTC, and ~1.27M USDC. The attacker (same operator behind the March 2025 1inch Fusion V1 exploit) used a vulnerability in TrustedVolumes’ custom RFQ swap proxy. Recent development (July 17, 2026): One of the exploiter’s wallets sent 1,122.12 ETH (≈ $2.068 million at the time) back to a TrustedVolumes-controlled address.

AI suggested I come here regarding NC Wallet, so here I am.

COINS NEWS

The support team lacks communication skills and just blatantly neglects any helpful information for the Users on what the next steps in the KYC Verification process are. They only suggest that I be patient, and that they've sent the documents that I've already sent them to the proper department without any follow up. I've used NC Wallet for the better part of 3 years sending to and from the same wallets every time and never had a real issue, (other than the lack of providing a TxID for sometimes several days before actually processing and completing,) until I finally deposited a decent amount from a casino ($5,000) and then all of the sudden there's a problem and they need to verify my identity, (which it literally says is not required and won't even let you until they flag the KYC Verification, and that I've now been waiting 2 weeks for.) Now, for obvious reasons I'm submitting reviews on Reddit, Trustpilot, Google Play Store and the major social media platforms about the type of trap this wallet is. I will also be reporting to the DFPI if for whatever reason they cease to communicate with me entirely. Like I said, I've never really had a problem with the app and would like to continue using it or at leaat get my funds back, however, I'm not about to just let $5,000 of mine just get taken without doing something about it. I've read a couple of posts that said they were able to get their accounts back, idk on the legitimacy of that, but I would love to be one of them. If anything, this post is more to let the people that may not know that NC Wallet is definitely not the Wallet to store any of your crypto if you want to have control of your funds. Learn from mine and many others mistakes.. I will edit this post if for some miracle they push my verification through.

I was calling out what appeared to me a significant move toward a negative funding rate on 7/14 but looking at the chart now that seems a blip compared to the level of negative funding rate as of today. We are also starting to see liquidations as well with short liquidations outnumbering long liquidations. We will see what happens into the future. Two questions that I wanted to dig into today: With the closing of Loopring's L2 DEX and the distribution back to L1 does that provide enough LRC tokens that this funding rate disconnect will wash out and go back to normal? Let's look at the data. From the token distribution file that the Loopring team posted on this X post (https://x.com/loopringorg/status/2072987477405835340), specifically phase-1/token-list for LRC, we see this value "user_balance_minus_dust": "44952786.682053". At the current approximate price as of the time of this posting ($0.01661) that represents ~$750,000 dollars worth of LRC The current open interest for LRC from the screenshot above is $8.53M which increased more than 600% in the last 24 hours. Even if every single holder that held LRC on layer 2 immediately sold right now the perpetual market has increased exposure at least 6-7x that in the last 24 hours. How much is it currently costing net short perpetual futures parties per day to continue to maintain their short position Just looking at OKX at the time of writing this up OI was $2.01M and the funding rate was -0.4832% which gives a value of $9,712.32 that needs to be paid per period which on OKX there are 3 periods per day So for one platform this is ~$30,000 a day that needs to be paid to longs just to maintain the current level of short. Are there coins that you hold where it seems like the perpetual futures market dwarfs the spot market? submitted by /u/epistmeme [link] [comments]

Need cash but hate deciding which crypto position to cut

COINS NEWS

I need some cash for recent family expenses and an upcoming move, and I'd rather not put everything on a credit card. The timing just feels awful because I wasn't planning to sell anything right now. Most of my BTC and ETH are part of my long-term holdings, and I try not to touch them unless it's for a major expense. The last time I sold any was to help pay for a car. I also have a much smaller perpetual futures position that I opened a few weeks ago, but it hasn't reached the profit level I was hoping for. Now I'm stuck deciding whether to close that position or sell a small portion of my long-term holdings instead. Looking back, I definitely wish I'd kept a larger cash emergency fund instead of being in this position. For those who've had to raise cash unexpectedly, how did you decide what to sell? Did you protect your long-term investments and close shorter-term trades first, or did you take a different approach? submitted by /u/Street_Area1297 [link] [comments]

A very balanced article about BIP-110 by Jason Hughes - VP, Development and Engineering at Ocean Mining, yes the pool signalling for BIP-110

COINS NEWS

A small miner and bip110 node runned asked in the comments what expect past block 961632. This article might get everyone, involved in the movement prepared. Let me start off by saying I’m not pro-BIP110, and I’m not anti-BIP110. If it actually succeeds as something that gains true consensus within the network and ends up being enforced by a majority of the network… cool. If so, then we’ll go with it because the network has spoken and accepted it, and all nodes, including non-BIP110 nodes, will be pulled along for the ride. Unfortunately for proponents of the proposal, that simply isn’t currently the case by any measurable metric, nor does it appear to have a trajectory suggesting that will change, either. There’s been a lot of misleading information about this whole thing, especially in the context of mining. Few quick key bullet points to briefly counter some hyperbole from proponents: BIP110 is NOT inevitable. It CAN fail. BIP110 can and will cause a chain split/fork in a minority hashrate situation. BIP110 is NOT without risk to miners choosing to adopt it. Miners not supporting BIP110 are not suddenly mining “invalid” blocks just because a proposal that isn’t yet adopted simply exists. You’re not a bad person or evil simply because you don’t like or support BIP110. (The fact that I feel the need to point out that last part is actually kind of sad…) I was going to write a long post to help keep miners informed about things they need to remain aware of as this all plays out… before realizing I already did so months ago as a document I authored that I had hoped could be put out as a miner education piece at OCEAN. Sadly, it never got published. So I went ahead and updated it, and well, here it is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14DfMSVYBHTHIOmW32JTOR6BAP7AITbinvrhl8rJuvvc/edit?usp=sharing Again, keep in mind this was written months ago, intended to be as agnostic as possible in an effort to make it acceptable as a corporate post. That effort failed, so I'm posting it as a personal document today instead. As a miner making important decisions about your operations, you need to be aware of all of this without the sugarcoating and frankly outright misleading information coming from some of the BIP110 proponents. You must be vigilant, and decide what’s right for you. While there is certainly some misleading information from the opposition as well, nothing I’ve seen is nearly as egregious as the extremely premature claims of victory and accompanying hyperbole pushed by the BIP110 side. Summarizing my doc a bit, my personal suggestion to miners is this: Signal if you support BIP110 Do not signal if you don’t support BIP110 or don’t care Either way, monitor the network on/around/before block 961632. If you continue to see non-signaling blocks from major pools you can be reasonably certain they’re not going to suddenly decide later to throw away millions of dollars worth of revenue to backtrack and signal for BIP110. If they do by some chance start to signal for BIP110, you should monitor that and consider switching as required to stay on the heaviest chain. Key point being that realistically, only one side can win. It’s either BIP110 succeeds and miners not on the BIP110 side fail, or BIP110 fails and miners on the non-BIP110 side succeed. Moving on, let’s dive into some small fraction of my rationale. ????QUICK FACT: Between 7 and 15% of Bitcoin Nodes are signaling support for BIP110. Depending on which centralized crawler you look at… no way to know for sure. My personal private crawler puts this number much lower, but that’s a discussion for another day. Suffice it to say, I think it’s logical and correct to say that even 15% is not a majority. “But Jason! UASF got Segwit activated with fewer nodes!” Yep, because many miners, merchants, users, etc all actually wanted Segwit. There was tremendous economic and community weight behind it. Without rehashing that whole thing (plenty of resources on the topic from before BIP110 that are worth a read), suffice it to say that BIP110 and Segwit activations are not quite comparable, as many have already pointed out. Segwit, for example, went into its UASF territory with around 1/3rd of the network hashrate already signaling support. With that kind of backing, the UASF to help push the MASF over the tipping point made a lot of sense. It doesn't make sense here for BIP110. ????QUICK FACT: 0.6% of blocks over the past 60 days have signaled support for BIP110. Pretty stark contrast to even Segwit’s low baseline support. Yes, I know it's increased slightly in the past couple of weeks, but no new entrants. Just more clearly rented hashrate from one of the same small proponants. Something to keep in mind is that mining BIP110 signaling blocks via DATUM on OCEAN carries virtually no risk to the miner up until the fork point at block 961632. The cost is negligible, as you're effectively guaranteed to recoup rental costs, etc. It's awesome that the ability to do so exists, and I wouldn't have it any other way... but just something to keep in mind when weighing signaling from such blocks in the grand scheme of things from a risk/reward/money-on-the-table perspective. “But Jason! Miners have no incentive to signal until the last minute!” I also see no evidence to suggest that this could be the case. Subjectively, I disagree with the premise, as it’s not in a mining pool’s best interest to destabilize the network in such a way. Part of the reason for early signaling and lock-in periods is to help coordinate upgrades in a smooth fashion. Waiting until the last minute negates that benefit entirely. I see no compelling rationale or upside to doing so. Continuing on this, as part of my personal node monitoring setup, I specifically monitor nodes known to belong to various entities, such as other mining pools, exchanges, large lightning nodes, merchants, etc. A supermajority of which are monitored with explicit permission and confirmation/coordination. ????QUICK FACT: All major mining pools I monitor are currently running some variant of Bitcoin Core v30 or v31 (except OCEAN). Expanding on that, most have updated their nodes since the proliferation of BIP110’s release, even since the release of Knots 29.3. Additionally, it is known that many mining pools run modified versions of their node software to facilitate various requirements of their specific infrastructure. Such changes would need to be ported to a BIP110 compatible client, tested, evaluated, and deployed ahead of time. I currently see no evidence that this is the case currently. As far as I can tell, the pools are aware but ignoring. “But Jason! Miners don’t determine consensus! Nodes do! Otherwise they’ll just cancel halvings!” This is one of the funniest and most ridiculous arguments I’ve heard from the pro-BIP110 crowd. Comparing a consensus change that can be unilaterally enforced upon the network by miners and accepted by 100% of existing nodes (a soft fork), with a hard fork which no existing node will accept… is disingenuous at best. Tightening rules (like BIP110): Soft fork, can be enforced by miners if they choose to do so. Loosening rules (like canceling a halving): Hard fork, can not be enforced by miners without effectively 100% buy-in from the entire network……. Which isn’t likely to happen. Comparing the two is, bluntly, just stupid. “But Jason! If you don’t upgrade to the latest consensus rules, you’re insecure! You’ll lose funds! You’ll mine invalid blocks! You’ll [insert additional hyperbole here]!” This would be true of a consensus change that has, well, consensus. While BIP110 has made a valiant effort to gain that consensus, it has yet to have any measurable majority at what is now arguably the 11th hour. Not in nodes, not in hashrate, not in the social layers (consensus.health has a cool visual there where you'll find me in the middle). If somehow BIP110 gains 51%+ of the network hashrate on/before block 961632… then, alright. It’s enforced, since as a soft fork a majority of miners can unilaterally enforce it in the absence of a fully adopted URSF (effectively a misnomer, as this would kind of be a hard fork). “But Jason! It can’t gain consensus by already having consensus! You have to give it a chance!” Firstly… no I don’t, even though I have. Second, it’s a rushed proposal that never had the time to even try and gain real consensus. It’s been 7 months since the release of the first BIP110 client. There’s ~3 weeks to go before “mandatory” signaling starts as of now (less by the time you read this). 90% of the time available has passed with no change in overall sentiment from any relevant players. If it hasn’t gained sufficient adoption in the past 7 months, it’s not likely to do so in the next 3 weeks. "But Jason! CSAM! CSAM! Pedophiles! CSAM!" I'll be the first to say, even I personally overstated the risk here early on when Core proposed its OP_RETURN change. I personally expected something particularly egregious to hit the chain almost immediately, and to the best of my knowledge that's not yet happened. Could it still happen? Yeah, I suppose. But considering from a technical perspective, byte-for-byte the same contiguous arbitrary data can provably end up stored in the current chain or the BIP-110 chain without much issue... this particular argument for BIP-110 falls pretty flat to me at this point. Do I want CSAM in the chain? Of course not. Am I a pedophile if I don't support BIP110? Also not. ... I could continue to go on and on and on, but I'll stop here. I've wasted enough time on this. I'm sure I've done plenty to annoy both sides of the BIP110 debate at this point, as I don't adopt either stance. I'm sure I'll catch flack from all angles simply for daring to speak my mind on it. Overall, I mostly think it was silly to approach addressing a real problem (the OP_RETURN default change in Bitcoin Core) with the maximum anti-spam manifesto based soft fork proposal... which provably cannot stop spam, arbitrary data, etc. ????‍♂️ (Yes, I know, proponents will claim it's not about spam... and will also make semantic arguments that it does stop data as well... neither of which appears to be correct.) I'll close with the concession that I could be wrong. I'm not Nostradamus, and I can't accurately predict the outcome with 100% certainty. I can only go by what the data tells me, and so I give BIP110's success less than a 5% chance of actually succeeding... and I consider that generous. You can take my opinions on this however you wish, but I highly recommend you don't discount the actual data points, remain vigilant, and do what's best for you and your mining revenue. Don't be gaslit by either side of the debate, and make your own decisions.

Lightning Labs built a toolkit that lets AI agents pay in Bitcoin autonomously — no credit card, no human in the loop. Here's how it works.

COINS NEWS

There's a question nobody in the AI industry has properly answered: how do AI agents pay for things? Credit cards require human identity. Banks require passports. None of that works for software making thousands of micropayments per hour autonomously. Lightning Labs released lightning-agent-tools in February 2026, seven composable modules that give AI agents everything they need to operate natively on Lightning. The core of it is L402 plus lnget: an AI agent hits an API, the server responds with HTTP 402 "Payment Required" plus a Lightning invoice, lnget automatically pays the invoice, receives a macaroon credential, retries the request. Total time under one second. Total human involvement: zero. The full toolkit includes remote key isolation with keys on a separate signer machine, scoped macaroons for spend limits per agent, Aperture to turn any API into a pay-per-use service, and MCP support for Claude, GPT, and custom frameworks. Why Bitcoin and not stablecoins? Transactions on Inferior Centralized Altcoin Chains cost cents to dollars, unviable for micropayments. A Lightning payment for 1 sat costs a fraction of a sat. And no one can freeze your sats. For node runners: AI agent traffic means more routing opportunities and demand for liquidity. Your node becomes infrastructure for the machine economy.

Bitcoin ETF flows and Lightning Network volume are quietly decoupling from each other. Full breakdown of what the numbers actually show.

COINS NEWS

Most coverage treats ETF flows and Lightning usage as separate stories. Put them side by side and something interesting shows up. ETF flows in the last three weeks: a ten day outflow streak that drained 2.73 billion dollars in late June, then a reversal on July 2 with 221 to 223.5 million coming back in, then 510 million across three sessions with BlackRock's IBIT leading, then a fresh 424.66 million in outflows on July 13. Year to date net outflows still sit around 5.4 billion, essentially unmoved by the July bounce. Meanwhile Lightning Network volume is up 266 percent year over year despite public channel count declining. Average transaction value has nearly doubled to around 223 dollars. Merchant adoption of Lightning payments reached 15 percent of Bitcoin transactions by mid 2024 and kept climbing through 2025. The interesting part is that these two trends look increasingly disconnected. ETF flows are macro driven, tracking dollar strength and Fed policy on a day to day basis. Lightning volume growth looks adoption driven, growing regardless of what price is doing. That is arguably a healthier signal than previous cycles where everything correlated with speculation. There is also a consolidation trend worth watching. Average channels per node dropped roughly 30 percent between 2020 and 2024, meaning the network is routing through fewer, more concentrated hubs rather than a wide peer mesh.

A primer for those unfamiliar with Open Interest (OI): it is the total number of outstanding derivative contracts that have not yet been settled or closed. For the perps space, OI is the equivalent of Total Value Locked (TVL) in DeFi it basically shows how much capital is actually live and trading. Besides HIP-3's constant OI records, HYPE also experienced a trend shift with stocks perps tripling its share of HIP-3 trading volume to 47%, with commodities declining to 21%.

PSA on social engineering, why the biggest crypto thefts often skip the device entirely and go straight for the person

COINS NEWS

A lot of the largest crypto losses did not involve a cracked wallet or a stolen seed. They involved someone being convinced to act, often by a person posing as support, security, or a helpful stranger. In one of the biggest cases on record, the attacker posed as wallet support and talked the victim into handing over their wallet backup. Hundreds of millions gone, zero code broken. A few habits that hold for any wallet: - Real support will not ask you to move funds, confirm a transaction, or share a recovery phrase to fix a problem. - Slow down when a message creates urgency. That pressure is the attack. - Verify through the official app yourself instead of any link someone sends you. - Treat unsolicited help with suspicion, especially right after you post about a wallet issue anywhere public.

JPMorgan is seeing green shoots in BTC flows

COINS NEWS

Spot Bitcoin ETF outflows have been getting all the attention lately, but JPMorgan is basically saying “hold up, not everything looks dead.” Their analysts pointed out that while spot ETF flows have been messy, Leveraged Strategy ETFs have seen steadier positive inflows over the past 7 weeks. They also said bitcoin futures flows look more positive, which usually hints more at institutional activity than retail just panic-clicking buy and sell. So yeah, spot ETF outflows look ugly on the surface, but under the hood, some bigger players might still be positioning. I’m still watching flows, still holding, and keeping the mining side active through OneMiners instead of letting every ETF headline cook my brain.

TFSA catch-up vs. Bitcoin — how would you split a bonus?

COINS NEWS

I'm trying to max out my TFSA (Tax-Free Savings Account) for this tax year and I'm getting a bonus soon. Trying to decide the best way to use it. Options I'm weighing: Put most/all of it toward catching up my TFSA so I max out the annual limit before the tax year ends Put most/all of it into Bitcoin instead Some kind of 50/50 split For context if you're not familiar with TFSAs, it's the SA equivalent of a Roth IRA. You get an annual contribution limit (currently R46k) and a lifetime cap (R500k), and anything inside grows completely tax-free. But unlike Bitcoin, unused room in a given tax year is gone for good, you don't carry it forward. I'm posting here specifically instead of a general investing sub because I feel like Bitcoiners tend to be a bit more balanced on this. Most of you are bullish on BTC but still hold ETFs/index funds too, whereas the generic investing subs tend to have zero exposure to Bitcoin at all and will just tell me to dump everything into index funds without engaging with the BTC side of the question.

Kraken US implementing XMR withdrawal and deposit limits on August 15th

COINS NEWS

I'm surprised I haven't seen a post here about this yet. Individual withdrawal limits are set to $1,500 and deposit limits are $3500, starting August 15th. https://x.com/xenumonero/status/2076807666731520248 I personally confirmed this with Kraken Support on Twitter as well. How are people feeling about this? I know there will be some who carry on as usual with the mantra that CEXs don't matter, but hypothetically if you carried a large monero balance (6 figures, etc)... you've pretty much lost your liquidity. Monero can be used P2P to a certain extent... but for big purchases like a house? I imagine it's niche. Do you hold out and hope for DEXs like Thorchain or Serai? Do you derisk a bit before Aug 15th? Keep holding Monero without liquidity for awhile and hope for the cyberpunk P2P future? Is there a replacement that's feasible already I'm unaware of? Overall I think it's a big negative to lose Kraken. However, I'm curious how others think about it. It is also a bummer this is happening with the "pro crypto White House" in a country where we are "free." Lastly I hope it is temporary but I doubt Kraken will roll this back... Anyway. Curious about your thoughts. Cheers. (Xpost from rMonero, I just copied the entire post) submitted by /u/Serenaded [link] [comments]

Exclusive: Visa launches new platform to provide stablecoin services to more than 200 million merchants

COINS NEWS

Stablecoins have changed how people think about moving money, and their exponential rise over the past year has pushed mainstream payment networks to figure out how to adapt. Visa, one of the world’s largest payment processors, appears to be well on its way to adapting to this new paradigm. On Thursday, the company announced a new service to help its customers do the same. The Visa Stablecoin Platform is an internal system that lets banks and fintechs handle stablecoins, which are a form of cryptocurrency that are backed with reserves to maintain a 1-to-1 peg to the dollar, within their existing Visa payment and treasury workflows. Visa, which settles roughly $15 trillion in payments annually, already processes several billion dollars in stablecoin settlements and hopes to grow that by offering a simpler way for its network of about 15,000 financial institutions and more than 200 million merchants to use stablecoins. “It’s less about accessing stablecoins and more about how… this interoperate[s] with their treasury settlement, their money movement workflows, [and] their existing bank setups,” Rubail Birwadker Visa’s global head of growth, told Fortune.

Civic Bitcoin – a "social fork" of the idea of money? My philosophical take

COINS NEWS

I've been digging into the concept of Civic Bitcoin for a while and wanted to share a breakdown, because I think it's philosophically way more interesting than it looks at first glance. Quick heads-up: Civic Bitcoin is not a technical fork and not a new coin. It's a voluntary governance and usage layer on top of Bitcoin – the idea of treating the protocol as public infrastructure to be used collectively and for a purpose (mining and Lightning fee revenue flows into social causes instead of private profit). Why do I find this interesting? It reconciles two camps that usually just talk past each other On one side, the cypherpunk/libertarian crowd: money must be neutral and rules-based. On the other, the "money must be democratically controlled" crowd. Civic Bitcoin basically says: The neutrality of the protocol is a feature, not a bug – but what we do with it, we get to decide together. So: neutral base + a voluntary ethos on top. It's almost a Rawlsian split between the "basic structure" and "what people pursue within it." Bitcoin as a commons (Ostrom would approve) Elinor Ostrom won the Nobel Prize for showing that common-pool resources need neither pure state nor pure market – self-organized rules can work. Civic Bitcoin applies this to a digital, non-rival good. The protocol = a digital commons. Transparency instead of trust All inflows/outflows on-chain and public. Philosophically neat, because trust is shifted away from people and toward verifiable procedures. Classic "don't trust, verify," but applied to public-good funding. But – and this matters – there are real weaknesses: The governance paradox: The moment you say "the community decides," all the old democracy problems come back – unequal participation, elite capture, tyranny of the majority. The neutrality you celebrate at the protocol level gets abandoned at the governance level. The incentive problem: Bitcoin runs economically on self-interest (mining profit). A model that redirects profit has to explain why people participate voluntarily. Free-rider problem, anyone? Scaling solidarity: Ostrom-style commons work best in small, clearly bounded groups. Whether this scales globally and anonymously is an open question. "Social fork" is rhetorically elegant but fragile: An ethos with no technical enforcement is only as strong as the voluntary commitment of its adherents. TL;DR: Civic Bitcoin is essentially a communitarian-republican superstructure built on a libertarian-neutral base. It's less a finished theory than a normative bet: that neutral infrastructure and deliberately democratic use don't have to be mutually exclusive. Whether it collapses in practice under the governance and incentive problems is the real million-sats question. What do you all think? Utopian idealism, or a realistic path to using Bitcoin for the common good? Anyone know of concrete projects already doing this? submitted by /u/btcbrother [link] [comments]

Kalshi pulls plug on flight cancellation contracts after social media blowback

COINS NEWS

Prediction market platform Kalshi has called off plans for its latest offering: Contracts that would let users wager on upcoming flight cancellations. The decision comes after social media users expressed fears that bad actors could make mischief at airports in order to collect a payout, and after popular airline-tracking service FlightAware said Kalshi could not use its data to resolve the contracts. Kalshi had planned to begin listing flight cancellation contracts on Wednesday, according to a regulatory filing, but a spokesperson on Thursday told Fortune that the company has opted not to go forward for now. Kalshi’s proposed contracts applied to airport-wide cancellations, not individual flights, and included detailed rules prohibiting insiders—including TSA agents and airport and union officials—from placing wagers. Nonetheless, skeptics seized on the news to warn that airport workers seeking a payoff might collude to cancel a flight, or that crooks could call in fake threats to shut down air travel. It’s unclear to what degree the concern over the Kalshi flight contracts was justified given the prohibition of wagers by insiders, and in light of stiff criminal penalties for threats or hoaxes directed at the airport industry.

Forbes: When The Financial System Can’t Reach People In Crisis, Bitcoin Can

COINS NEWS

“The problem wasn’t raising the money,” he told me from a displacement camp in Gaza. “The problem started when we had to rely on someone else to receive it for us.” ... The weakness Sami’s case exposes is not unique. Crowdfunding platforms can raise money for families facing war, disaster or repression within hours but getting it safely to the intended recipient can be far more complicated. ... Bitcoin allows funds to move across borders without a platform holding them or a beneficiary passing them on. Risks around wallet security, access and exchange rates remain. For Mary Kate, that control has significance beyond the movement of money. “We can’t take your account from you. We can’t shut down your campaign. We can’t take your money,” she said. “For people dealing with trauma and a lack of control over their lives, that can be a huge moment of empowerment.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2026/07/16/when-the-financial-system-cant-reach-people-in-crisis-bitcoin-can/ submitted by /u/Worried-Flounder-615 [link] [comments]

Undeclared gains does not make you unbankable

COINS NEWS

Most crypto bros think that if they have not been tax compliant in their jurisdiction they are not able to cash-out. This is wrong. Sure there is the automatic exchange of information between your tax residency and your bank account, however if you plan on becoming tax compliant through a voluntary tax disclosure while you are preparing your compliance documentation for the bank. Amongst the crypto community it is very normal for people to have not declared their taxes, especially if they started early. As back in 2011, most people were not treating it as a serious investment most did not know where it would be today. When you are introduced to a private bank by a trusted third party, the bank is comfortable with you getting your new tax residency documentation after your account is opened or if you are becoming tax compliant through a voluntary tax disclosure as long as you are about to or in the process of becoming tax compliant you can open and cash-out before the taxes are due. Since the automatic exchange of information era, Swiss banks require some form of tax conformity from clients. What's poorly understood is what "conformity" can mean in practice. At certain institutions and this depends heavily on the bank, the jurisdiction, and the specific facts it does not have to mean "every past year already settled." It can mean the client is demonstrably in the process of becoming compliant: tax counsel engaged, a voluntary disclosure or regularization initiated, or a residency change properly sequenced, all with a paper trail. I've seen onboarding with Swiss private banks happen in parallel with a disclosure or a change in tax residency. Many people choose more tax friendly jurisdictions such as Monaco or Dubai. I have written a post about obtaining residency in Monaco with crypto origin wealth (private banks help you obtain residency): https://www.reddit.com/r/Monaco/s/6Ey0AJ5P04 Remember that even fully compliant holders struggle here everyone knows the frozen-funds and closed-account stories from retail off-ramps (CEX to retail bank at large volumes). That's precisely why people go to private banks, and why they don't show up empty-handed. The approach that gets through compliance committee at the bank is a professionally prepared source-of-wealth file: chronological origin-of-wealth narrative, wallet lists with proof of control, independent forensic screening, surviving records with gaps explained, where relevant, a concrete, documented process for fixing a tax situation that isn't currently in order as opposed to a vague intention to sort it out someday.. Important note: this is not "you don't need to pay tax," and it varies enormously by country and institution. None of it is tax, legal, or banking advice this situation requires actual advisers in the actual jurisdictions involved. submitted by /u/alt-co [link] [comments]

The Katana blockchain after 1 year - DeFi can still be safe & exciting

COINS NEWS

Katana turned 1 on July 1st. Over the last year, they've outcompeted many chains from the 2024/25 era and are still going strong. I've made posts about Katana in the past. I work in web3 and this project is one of the most exciting I've seen because of the design of the chain and the way emissions are structed. If you've ever farmed an incentive program, you know the arc. Emissions turn on, TVL floods in, the APY looks unreal for six weeks, emissions taper, capital walks to whoever's paying more. Most chains are renting their liquidity and calling it growth. Katana does it differently. There where no VC-term deals to raise liquidity favorably. All revenue stayed on the chain from day 1 as Katana did a really great job of being opinated and owning the stack. On most chains, TVL is a cost. You pay for it. On Katana, TVL is the revenue. When you bridge an asset onto a normal chain it sits in a contract doing nothing. That's true almost everywhere. VaultBridge routes those bridged assets into yield strategies instead, so the deposits themselves earn. The chain takes revenue off that. That revenue funds chain-owned liquidity, meaning pools the chain owns outright and permanently, which cannot walk out because they were never rented. And it funds incentives, paid out of income rather than out of a printer. So the flywheel spins the right way. More TVL means more revenue, which means more owned liquidity and a bigger incentive budget, which means more TVL. On a normal chain that same loop runs in reverse: more TVL means a bigger incentive bill, which drains the treasury faster, which shortens the clock to the announcement. That's the difference between a chain that compounds and a chain that burns. Year one, by Katana's own published numbers: Day one: $250M+ bridged, 15 apps live including Morpho, Sushi, Spectra Aug 2025: $488k in revenue generated and distributed Oct 2025: Sushi passed $1B in spot volume on the chain Jan 2026: in-house quests platform, 6k+ users completing 5+ quests Mar 2026: KAT staking live, listed on Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Kraken, Upbit, Bithumb Mar 2026: acquired IDEX, the team that built the #1 DEX of 2018, relaunched as Katana Perps Apr 2026: Binance Earn and OKX Earn integrations, $600k+ in revenue from those alone Jun 2026: perps volume past $400M, three trading competitions, $155K+ USDC paid straight to traders Year one total: $4M+ in protocol revenue, 28M+ KAT compounded since TGE It also got stress tested twice, which is the part that gets skipped. It ran normally through 10/10 when plenty of things did not. It stayed liquid through the April crunch and serviced tens of millions in outflows without gating anybody. A chain that holds up while people are running for the door is a fundamentally different asset than one that only works when everything is green. And you can still farm right now. There are stablecoin vaults sitting in the 8-10% range, avKAT in the 50% range (pays to coordinate liquidity, expect to drop over time), and season quests, The thing I'm actually watching in year two: KAT as a liquidity coordinator. You lock KAT, you get voting power, you point emissions at whatever part of the chain you think deserves liquidity. That's a ve model and you've seen it on Curve and Aerodrome. The difference is those coordinate liquidity for one DEX. Katana's runs at the chain level. So the question stops being "which pool gets emissions" and becomes something closer to capital allocation. Lending markets, perps, yield venues, spot pools, all competing for the same liquidity, with token holders arbitrating between them. Right now it's mostly DEX pools, which is the boring version of this. The interesting version is a chain where holders are steering liquidity across every venue on the stack based on where it earns most. Nobody's really run that at chain scale. Watching it develop is genuinely the thing I'm most curious about this year. My honest read is the gap between what's been built and what it's priced at is the widest of anything I hold. That either means the market is early or the market looked and disagreed. I lean early. I've been wrong before. TL;DR: Katana recently turned 1. $4M+ protocol revenue, no VC, no presale, IDEX acquired and relaunched as perps, listed on every major CEX, survived 10/10 and the April crunch. It inverted TVL from a cost into a revenue source, which is why it has no expiry date while chains that bought their TVL are announcing pivots. Still farmable, stablecoin vaults in the 8-10% range from borrow interest plus incentives. We've all watched chains rent TVL with emissions and die when the money ran out. Katana is the only one I can name that built the revenue engine first and never took the VC money that starts the clock. submitted by /u/TimmyXBT [link] [comments]

I built a completely serverless, zero-telemetry E2EE chat app using WebRTC and Double Ratchet. How can I improve the P2P stability?

COINS NEWS

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a project I've been engineering called VAULT. The goal was to build a messaging hub that leaves absolutely zero footprint—no servers storing data, no emails, no phone numbers, and local identity generation. How the stack works: Messaging: Uses the Double Ratchet protocol for end-to-end encryption. Message routing and voice/video calls are handled entirely peer-to-peer (DTLS-SRTP) via WebRTC. Data Storage: Ephemeral by design. Messages have a 24-hour auto-decay window and live only in local storage. Integrations: I also integrated a non-custodial wallet infrastructure supporting Solana and EVM chains directly into the chat interface, using zk-SNARKs for private transaction rails and ERC-4337 for gasless payments so users don't need native tokens to transact. Because it's fully serverless, signaling is the trickiest part. I'm currently looking for feedback on handling WebRTC STUN/TURN fallbacks more efficiently when both peers are behind symmetric NATs. I'll drop the project link/repo in the comments if anyone wants to check out the pre-release or look at the architecture! submitted by /u/mylifeasdisha [link] [comments]

Ostium's $18m exploit was a stolen oracle key

COINS NEWS

Someone got the private key that signs Ostium's price oracle reports. with that key they pushed fake, future dated price data through ostium's automation system (a contract called PriceUpKeep, triggered by gelato) that made their trades look profitable when they weren't. they ran about 20 open/close trade loops in a few hours and drained somewhere between $11.86M and $18M USDC, roughly 28% of the vault's $63M TVL. Blockaid caught it and flagged it publicly. Ostium paused trading right after, all positions and user funds are frozen as is while they investigate. Ostium had raised $27.8M from general catalyst, Jump crypto, Coinbase ventures, Wintermute and GSR, and processed over $50B in cumulative volume. multiple audits too. none of that stopped a compromised signer key from draining the vault, because the exploit lived in oracle infra, not the contract code. summer.fi also got hit for $6M in a similar oracle/keeper exploit last week. feels like this is becoming the go to attack vector now that contract code itself is actually well audited. anyone else think oracle key management needs the same scrutiny as multisig treasury keys at this point? submitted by /u/Bluejumprabbit [link] [comments]

I'm 31, married, no debt myself, stable job, and unexpectedly discovered I still own about 0.219 BTC (~$14,000 today). The backstory...In 2015 I bought about $117 worth of Bitcoin, sold part of it a few weeks later, and completely forgot about the remaining 0.219 BTC. Coinbase recently sent me an inactivity/unclaimed property notice, and when I logged in I discovered it's now worth around $14k. At one point the holding was worth roughly $27k, but it's currently around $14k. My financial situation: Age 31 Married No high-interest debt Thinking about starting a family in the next few years I honestly forgot this existed for more than a decade. If I sell, I'd expect to owe capital gains taxes and net somewhere around $10k–11k after taxes. My Q: If this were you, would you: Keep the Bitcoin? Sell all of it and invest elsewhere? Sell part and keep part? And if you sold, where would you put the money? Broad index fund (VTI/VTSAX/VOO)? HYSA? CD? Something else? please help! submitted by /u/AdSpiritual3434 [link] [comments]

I Got An Email From The ATO About Crypto. What Now?

COINS NEWS

We've been seeing a lot of questions come up regarding the email being sent out to crypto investors in Australia from the ATO. Just dropping some info below that can hopefully clear things up. If this post isn't supported feel free to remove. The ATO is emailing Australian taxpayers it believes bought or sold crypto after 1 July 2025. What the email means, how to check it's real, and the steps to respond. If you just opened an email from the Australian Taxation Office with a subject like "What to do if you've bought or sold crypto", take a breath. You're not in trouble. You're one of a very large group getting the same message, and it's fixable. Here's what it means and what to do about it. First: Is This Email Even Real? Before you act on anything, confirm the email is legitimate. The ATO's own message warns that scammers impersonate these communications, and a crypto tax prompt is exactly the kind of email a scammer loves to fake. A genuine ATO email will: Never include a link to a login page. The real ATO does not send you a link to sign in. Never ask for your confidential details by email, including your TFN, passwords or bank logins. Point you to search the ATO website yourself (using "QC" reference codes) rather than click through. If something feels off, don't click. Forward suspicious emails to [ReportScams@ato.gov.au](mailto:ReportScams@ato.gov.au), then get to myGov independently by typing the address in yourself. When in doubt, treat the email as a nudge to check your own records, not a reason to click anything. What The Email Actually Means The ATO runs a crypto asset data-matching program that collects identity and transaction data from Australian exchanges (it calls them "designated service providers"). It covers the 2014-15 through 2025-26 financial years and captures data on an estimated 700,000 to 1.2 million individuals and entities every year. So the ATO has records that suggest you bought or disposed of crypto. That doesn't mean it knows your full tax position, only that an exchange reported activity linked to you. This email is a prompt, sent because that data shows activity on or after 1 July 2025. Think of it as the polite tap on the shoulder before you lodge your FY2025-26 return. Respond correctly now and this is a non-event. Ignore it, lodge a return that doesn't line up with their data, and you invite a review. What You Need To Do The email points to three situations. Work out which apply to you, because most people hit more than one. If you held and disposed of crypto as an investment. Selling, swapping, gifting or spending crypto all count as disposals, and each one triggers capital gains tax. You report the net capital gain (or loss) in the CGT section of your return. Losses aren't just paperwork either: reporting them in the year they happen lets you offset gains now and carry the rest forward. If you earned income from crypto. Staking rewards and airdrops are ordinary income, taxed at their AUD value on the day you received them. These go in the "Other income" section, separate from your CGT. If you were carrying on a crypto business. Trading, mining or operating an exchange as a business gets reported as business income (gross income less deductible expenses), not CGT. It's a smaller group, and if it's you, a registered tax agent is worth the call. Whichever applies, keep your records for at least five years from the date you lodge. What To Do, Step By Step Confirm the email is real (see above). Don't click any login links. Pull your data together: every exchange account and wallet you've used, plus transaction dates, types and AUD values. This is the part people underestimate. Categorise each transaction as a disposal (CGT), income (staking or airdrops), or a non-taxable event like a transfer between your own wallets. Make sure your figures are complete. Capture every exchange account and wallet so nothing is missing from your return. Any prefilled crypto data in myGov is a useful cross-check, but it won't be the full picture, so don't rely on it alone. Gaps between what you lodge and what an exchange reported are what trigger reviews. Lodge, or amend prior years if you're behind. Then keep your records. Steps 2 to 4 are where a manual spreadsheet falls apart across hundreds of trades. That's the exact job crypto tax software is built for: connect your accounts and it tracks cost base and AUD values automatically. What If I Haven't Reported Past Years? If you've left crypto off past returns, this is the part worth getting right, because coming forward before the ATO contacts you directly changes what you'll pay. The ATO treats taxpayers who come forward voluntarily, before being contacted about a review or audit, far more generously. Under the ATO's rules on voluntary corrections, if you disclose a shortfall before the ATO tells you it's examining your affairs, the base penalty is reduced by 80%. Where that shortfall is under $1,000, the penalty is reduced to nil, and the general interest charge on what you owe can also be remitted. The practical path: amend the relevant prior-year returns to include the missed gains or income, gather your records, and pay any shortfall. If you're behind on several years or the numbers are large, a registered tax agent can manage the disclosure for you. This email is your window to fix it on the best possible terms. You Might Owe Less Than You Think The instinct after one of these emails is to assume a big bill. Often it's the reverse, because getting your reporting accurate tends to work in your favour. Depending on your circumstances: Losses can count. A rough few years in crypto may leave you with capital losses that can be offset against gains, but generally only if you report them. There's a 50% CGT discount. If you've held crypto for more than 12 months, you may be eligible for a discount that can halve the taxable gain. Every disposal has a cost base. You're generally taxed on the gain rather than the full sale price, so what you originally paid comes off the top. Leave it out and you could overpay. People who report from memory tend to leave money on the table. People who reconcile properly often owe less than they expected. submitted by /u/summ_app [link] [comments]

Anyone feel like KYB onboarding is insane? (or is it just us)

COINS NEWS

Just tried to open a bank account for our crypto company. Spent most of last week digging up the same three documents for the fourth time this year. Cert of incorporation, ownership breakdown, director IDs. Dragging files across folders, drives etc Different bank, same stack of paperwork I've already handed to three other institutions who all verified the exact same facts. And then it hit me that this is completely normal and nobody questions it. Every bank, every fintech, every partner platform runs their own KYB from scratch. They all check the same government registry. They all confirm the same info, the same directors, the same UBOs. None of them trust each other's work, so the business re-proves itself from zero every single time. Weeks of back and forth, per relationship. Question for decision makers: Is the repetition the real pain for you, or is it something else? Or maybe for most of you it's genuinely fine and I'm just at a company that onboards too often and I've lost perspective. submitted by /u/cryptomemelord [link] [comments]

BTC seems sensitive to macro data

COINS NEWS

I used to pay less attention to macro dates when trading BTC. I would mostly look at the chart, funding, and where price was sitting around support or resistance. After this CPI move, I think that is harder to ignore. BTC pushed higher as inflation came in cooler and rate hike expectations dropped, so the trade was not just about a clean technical breakout. The macro data changed the risk appetite behind the move. For now I’m trying to adjust around that. If CPI or FOMC is coming up, I’d rather reduce size, avoid opening a fresh leveraged position right before the release, and wait until the first reaction settles. I was watching the BTC perp on bydfii during the move. It made me more aware of how quickly the setup can change after one data comes out. Are you also paying attention to these macro dates now? How does the data affect your strategies? submitted by /u/Choice_Employee_7739 [link] [comments]

Whatever Happened to “Bitcoin, Not Bombs”

COINS NEWS

With the United States now at war with Iran, I keep thinking about an older argument from the Bitcoin movement. Wasn’t Bitcoin supposed to be part of the anti-war movement? Early Bitcoin culture was not only about getting rich, ETFs, corporate treasuries, or governments building strategic reserves. Bitcoin was presented as a way to challenge the monetary system that makes endless war possible. The basic argument was simple: Governments can wage wars that voters would never support if they had to pay the full cost immediately through higher taxes. Instead, wars are financed through debt, monetary expansion, and inflation. The costs are spread across decades and hidden inside higher prices, interest payments, and a weaker currency. Bitcoin was supposed to change that equation. A fixed-supply, politically neutral form of money would theoretically make it harder for governments to create money, quietly expand debt, and pass the cost of war onto future generations. Bitcoin would not make war impossible. But it could make the cost of war more visible. Yet during the Iran war, much of Bitcoin culture seems strangely silent. The conversation is mostly about whether oil prices will push Bitcoin higher, whether governments will buy more Bitcoin, and whether war will become another bullish catalyst. That feels like a major cultural shift. Bitcoin began as an attempt to separate money from state power. Now parts of the movement seem more interested in getting Bitcoin adopted by the same governments, financial institutions, and military powers it was originally supposed to constrain. Maybe Bitcoin itself has not changed. The network remains neutral. But the culture around it has. So here is the uncomfortable question: Did Bitcoin fail as an anti-war movement—or did Bitcoiners simply stop caring about the anti-war part once the price started going up? submitted by /u/elder-millennial5813 [link] [comments]

Algorand's HesabPay Supports Over 600,000 Refugee Returnees in Afghanistan Since Council's Berlin Meeting

COINS NEWS

The Algorand Foundation today shared new progress from its Humanitarian Payments Council, marking a shift from pilot projects to institutional-scale deployments. Convening today in Washington, D.C. to build on the foundations laid during their September meeting in Berlin, Council members are highlighting a major expansion of blockchain-backed aid delivery in high-stakes environments. Most notably, according to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, it has scaled its use of reloadable cards through HesabPay, the Algorand-powered payments platform, to support more than 625,000 refugee returnees and over 17,500 internally displaced people in Afghanistan, with more than $35 million in assistance. This operational milestone reflects the network's ability to support large-scale aid disbursement in a live deployment and provide secure, immediate financial empowerment in regions where traditional banking infrastructure is absent or limited. submitted by /u/semanticweb [link] [comments]

Cointer - Free wallet monitoring and dashboard for BTC/ETH with push notifications (beta)

COINS NEWS

Hello, A little while ago I posted about a project concept I had. The idea was a web-app and a mobile app where you add the wallet address you want to watch. Cointer checks the blockchain for you. When a watched address gets a deposit, you get a notification and a dashboard of activity/totals. No accounts, no passwords. Just a single personal key that ties everything together. This is aimed at people who receive donations via crypto, streamers, or people who want to watch their wallets. Of course, most wallets already have this feature, but this takes it to the next step. It allows you to be notified over mobile push notifications, ntfy, Discord, Slack, or just by email. Then, it compiles (up to 90 days) all transactions into a clean dashboard showing your totals for the last day, week, and month with a breakdown by watched addresses and assets. There is an activity page with a full history of deposits and pagination. I've developed quite a few OSS projects and gotten sponsors from many hosting companies which is what allowed me to set this up for a beta. However, for this beta the amount of users I can support is quite small. There is no real catch here. Know that there is a 10 wallet and 10 notification channel limit and notifications are not always guaranteed. More info in the comments.

Strike vs Finst: testing low-fee Bitcoin DCA in Europe

COINS NEWS

For years I’ve been reading positive things about Strike by Jack Mallers, especially because you can apparently buy Bitcoin with very low fees (and even fee-free options depending on how you use it). I’ve tried Strike on and off in the past with mixed results, but now I want to properly test it. I’m comparing it against Finst, a Dutch exchange that currently offers some of the lowest Bitcoin buying fees in Europe (around 0.15%). Over a long period of DCA, small fee differences can really add up. My Bitcoin journey started years ago on Coinbase. Looking back, the fees there were pretty painful, with large spreads and transaction costs. One thing I did like about Coinbase at the time was the occasional free crypto rewards, but eventually I moved on. After Coinbase, I switched to Bitvavo, which is one of Europe’s largest exchanges by trading volume. Their fees are around 0.25%, which was already a big improvement. Currently I use Finst, but because I keep seeing so many positive experiences with Strike, I decided to test it myself instead of just relying on other people’s opinions. I created a spreadsheet where I’ll compare my weekly DCA purchases. My setup: - €100 Bitcoin DCA every Friday - Compare Strike vs Finst - Track the actual amount of BTC received and the total costs My first purchase was last Friday (July 10). At the moment I received slightly less BTC on Strike compared to Finst, which is expected because of the higher costs/spread on the first transaction. But the interesting part will be how this develops over several weeks and months. One thing I already like about Strike: it’s Bitcoin-only. No altcoins, no distractions, just Bitcoin. I’ll keep updating this thread with the results. Curious to hear from others in Europe: what platform are you using for your Bitcoin DCA, and why? Disclaimers: Not sponsored by Strike, Finst, or anyone else. I’m just a Dutch guy who likes comparing fees a little too much. ???????? Bitcoin is risky.

In the end I publish everything. In the past i have a solid track record in automating trading strategies, manual strategies and overall market knowledge from my professional time as a Quant. If you enjoy a site that will build the entire infrastructure in public over the next few months. Keep taps on Koryu. For now it’s just a basic sentiment/momentum board. But in a few months I will have built a solid ranking board with an automated bot trading whatever is listed. And yes. I know numbers and models - but not making websites. So thanks Claude. For now.

Could Bitcoin eventually reduce the cost of mortgages, insurance and sovereign debt? (Nice read)

COINS NEWS

Tony DiCarlo calls it the “money glitch”: Issue liabilities in a depreciating asset, hold an appreciating one, and let the spread do the work. Strategy is the clearest example. It raises capital through fixed dollar-denominated obligations and uses the proceeds to buy Bitcoin. Over time, the liability may become easier to service in real terms, while the Bitcoin backing it may grow in value. What makes the idea interesting is that it may not stop with Digital Asset Treasuries. The same principle could potentially extend to mortgages, insurance float, corporate debt and even sovereign reserves. It is not risk-free. The model still depends on Bitcoin performing over the medium to long term. But it raises a bigger question: Could Bitcoin adoption happen not just through more people buying it, but by being built into the financial products they already use? submitted by /u/makingcryptoeasy [link] [comments]

Coinbase quietly reopened its doors to China, four years after Beijing slammed them shut

COINS NEWS

Coinbase changed its kyc flow on july 14 so mainland china users can now register with just a chinese national id and mainland address, no more chinese passport plus hong kong address requirement that locked most people out but nothing legally changed. china's 2021 ban on crypto trading and foreign exchanges is still fully in force, no RMB funding and no local trading. This looks like a quiet backend onboarding update, not a market re-entry Still notable that the door cracked open at all for the world's biggest online population Sauce: https://x.com/WuBlockchain/status/2077041205800796355?s=20 submitted by /u/ocean_protocol [link] [comments]

[US] Scam Alert: Switcher.finance

COINS NEWS

Hello everyone! I recently used Switcher.finance, as I noticed many people recommended it. Unfortunately, after using it to swap some crypto, they received my crypto but refused to send the crypto that I am supposed to get. After contacting them, they keep saying that they sent it to me but stuck at transit, but it been days. I also did some digging afterwards, and realised that they operate a massive bot farm, using multiple account to promote their services across social media. This is a massive fraud and scam. Until this is resolved, please avoid it at all costs. Based on my experience, I believe this is a massive scam. To save you the loss, please do proper research next time.

Do you think Bitcoin will ever need a standard way to verify real-world events?

COINS NEWS

I've been thinking about something recently and I'm curious what people here think. Bitcoin does an incredible job of verifying ownership and transactions without trusting a third party. But when an application needs to know whether something happened in the real world, things get messy. For example: Was a package actually delivered? Did someone really visit a location? Was an inspection completed? Most systems seem to fall back to GPS, a centralized API or simply trusting whoever reports the data. Do you think this is something Bitcoin should stay completely out of, or is there room for protocols that verify real-world events while using Bitcoin purely as a settlement layer? Genuinely interested in hearing different opinions. submitted by /u/kelvinthechamp5 [link] [comments]

Can blockchain become a trust layer for real-world events?

COINS NEWS

One thing I've been thinking about recently is that blockchains are great at verifying digital information—but they still struggle to verify physical reality. For example: Did someone actually visit a location? Was a delivery completed? Did an inspection really happen? Can an AI agent prove it interacted with the physical world? GPS alone isn't enough anymore, and centralized systems require trust. I've been working on an open protocol called GeoProof that explores using multi-signal verification to generate cryptographically verifiable attestations for real-world events. The goal isn't to replace existing blockchains, but to provide a reusable verification layer that applications can integrate regardless of which chain they use. I'd really appreciate feedback on whether this problem is worth solving and whether you think an open protocol is the right approach.

So it's been almost 2 years since the hack, there was a whole Singapore court scheme, "phased withdrawals," re-KYC drives, trading resumed like it's business as usual now... and I still can't withdraw a single rupee of my lacs sitting on the platform. Genuinely lost track of what stage we're even at. Last I checked: Hack happened July 2024, ~$230M gone INR withdrawals opened in phases, then a chunk stayed frozen "due to investigations" Singapore court approved some restructuring scheme in Oct 2025 Trading resumed, some crypto withdrawals unlocked in stages Recovery tokens were supposed to cover 75-80% of balances But my account just sits there. No withdrawal option that actually works, no clear status update, re-KYC done and still nothing moving. Anyone actually gotten their money out recently? Is there a real timeline anywhere or are we all just supposed to keep waiting indefinitely?

Why can the same token pair show three very different prices on Uniswap V3?

COINS NEWS

I noticed that the same PAX/USDT pair currently appears across three Uniswap V3 pools with very different displayed prices. One pool shows around $0.34, another around $0.92, and a very small pool shows around $0.968. My understanding is that each pool has its own liquidity range and reserves, so the displayed price can diverge when liquidity is fragmented. The smallest pools may also show extreme price movements even when very little capital is involved. Would arbitrage normally bring these prices back together, or can low liquidity and routing limitations leave the pools disconnected for a long time? Interested in hearing how experienced Uniswap LPs interpret this. submitted by /u/Actual-Ad2198 [link] [comments]

We always think we're "too late" to Bitcoin... Then five years pass.

COINS NEWS

We’ve all seen the charts, and we’ve all felt that exact same pit in our stomach. "I missed the boat." "The easy money has been made." "It's too late to start now." Here is the brutal truth about Bitcoin: everyone gets the price they deserve. The people who bought at $1,000 had to endure years of media outlets calling it a dying fad. The people who bought at $10,000 had to hold through massive, soul-crushing 80% drops where everyone around them said "I told you so." Bitcoin isn't just a stock or a ticker that goes up and down on a screen. It is a fundamental shift in how the world defines value. It is the first time in human history that we have a currency that cannot be printed into oblivion by a central entity. When you look back at today from five or ten years in the future, the current price won't look like a peak. It will look like a flat line at the very beginning of the chart. Stop staring at the 1-minute candles. Stop stressing over the daily noise. Zoom out. The best time to understand Bitcoin was ten years ago. The second-best time is right now.

No command rank and no orders, just moral and spiritual guidance that the whole ship trusts above almost anyone's. It steers values, not operations. (Personally I think a retired Admiral Picard also works here). Ethlabs → the Enterprise's main computer. The core protocol and infrastructure substrate everything else runs on top of — foundational, always-on, invisible until it breaks. Not a crew member, but the layer that makes the crew possible. Ethereum Institutional → Counselor Troi (as ship's ambassador). It reads what the institutions actually need and coordinates first contact, handling engagement, education, and market intelligence. The empathic diplomat who bridges the ship to the wider civilization. EthSystems → Data and Geordi combined. Data takes the abstract institutional directive — private from the market, transparent to the regulator — and computes it into precise architecture, while Geordi engineers it into production systems that carry real financial activity.

Exclusive: Payments startup Velocity raises $38 million to help businesses tap stablecoin growth

COINS NEWS

As stablecoin use surges globally, traditional finance is rushing to keep pace. Many businesses, though, are still getting up to speed on how to integrate dollar-pegged tokens into customer payments, and London-based startup Velocity—which on Tuesday announced a $38 million Series A funding round—is one of the firms helping them to do so. “These are companies that do not understand that they can be using stablecoins to solve their problems. Those are the people we are going for,” said Rob Hadick, a general partner at the venture capital firm Dragonfly, which has carved out a niche in backing firms that facilitate fiat-to-bridge transactions. Dragonfly and Firstmark led Velocity’s Series A round, which also included investments from Coinbase, Capital One Ventures, QED Investors, Activant Capital, Ripple, and Wintermute. Eric Queathem, founder and CEO of Velocity, declined to specify at what valuation his startup raised its most recent stash of capital. Founded in 2025, Velocity aims to tap into the industry’s rapid expansion, with its name pointing to its goal of making payments faster through stablecoins. The company declined to name specific clients but said its customers include a mix of global merchants, payment providers, fintechs, and financial institutions.

Just got all my funds off Binance

COINS NEWS

After an excruciating four months where they'd frozen my funds for absolutely no reason whatsoever, I finally got ALL my money off of there, safely on a cold wallet. I will never use Binance again for any reason and honestly I feel stupid and ashamed that I ever used it to begin with. I just wanted to share with you all, because I'm happy and relieved the nightmare is over. For 4 months I was constantly being looped around by AI "support agents". They threw many bogus allegations at me like "you have transacted with fraudulent addresses" (I didn't) and "your funds come from sources outside our terms of use" (they don't). I have literally hundreds of pages of chat & email correspondence with them. They kept trying to bait me into saying something that might be self-incriminating. I suffered psychological harm and at one point got close to harming myself in a major way. In the end I contacted basically every crypto lawyer I could find in my town and threatened Binance legally. Even after they unfroze my account, pretty much every withdrawal I tried to make after that, even to my OWN FUCKING WALLET, some bogus alert or other came up, and I went through a number of other shorter account freezes. I'm probably going to die a few years early because of the emotional toll. My supposed "crime"? Sending $40 to a known, trusted friend. Can't have that now, can we? And based on what I've read, I'm probably one of the lucky ones. I know someone who has had 6 figures in equivalent USD locked up for a year for sending $1.2 to the 'wrong' address. Another person has had their account frozen for 3 years. Just wanted to share with you all. DON'T USE BINANCE submitted by /u/call-the-wizards [link] [comments]

Bitcoin Gametheory

COINS NEWS

Bitcoin, the game theory facet, is a structure in extreme social tension. There are at least five key stakeholders - miners, users, developers, market, and exchanges. All the stakeholders have at least two senior partners who express forms of control. From above, the relationship would look like five players linking arms together, heads in, while collaborating in mutually supportive, competitive, and highly incentivized encounters. With Bitcoin, there is no trusted third party, instead, the relationship is divided at least five ways. This decentralizes trust, which distributes risk. The system is also constructed whereby the players have direct mechanisms for punishment as well as reward constrained to behaviour exhibited. Collaborative behavior is rewarded with mutual security while anti-social behaviour is discouraged through collective financial penalties. At the end of the day, the one thing we all have in common is the desire for the system to facilitate greater feats of cooperation.

EDIT: please, if a Core supporter could help us understand us better by answering my first question. what is it that you need to do that requires the increase of OP_RETURN, and what is it that you cannot do anymore with the introduction of BIP-110?

This is one of those pivotal moments - everything looks bearish, but RSI is flipping and getting a 64k bitcoin is going to look genius a year from now

COINS NEWS

The price action and headlines have been pretty rough lately. Geopolitics, some ETF flows going the other way for a bit, and BTC just sitting lower after coming off higher levels. It’s easy to see why a lot of people are cautious or outright bearish on the near term. What’s interesting though is the RSI on the daily. It’s been moving with price lower but now looks like it’s starting to curl back up. Not screaming reversal yet, but the momentum is shifting off those lower levels in a way that’s caught my eye. I’ve seen setups like this enough times to know they usually feel the worst right when the early signs show up. The core reasons I’m still bullish on Bitcoin long term haven’t changed. Institutional access through ETFs is still there, adoption keeps creeping forward, and we’re still dealing with the supply side from previous halvings. Buying more in the low 60s feels like one of those spots that could look pretty good twelve months from now when we’re looking back. I’m personally adding on these dips instead of waiting for everything to line up perfectly. Could still chop or retest support, that’s always possible. But sitting in cash waiting for the all-clear has cost me opportunities before.What are you guys seeing with the RSI or your own setups right now?

COINS NEWS

The hardest part of Bitcoin isn't buying it. It's surviving the moment you were right too early. Everyone wants to buy Bitcoin when the future looks obvious. That is the problem. The greatest opportunities in every cycle usually appear when the evidence is still incomplete, the chart looks ugly, and the majority has a reasonable explanation for why waiting is smarter. Human beings are not bad at recognizing value. We are bad at recognizing value before consensus approves it. The market is not designed to test your intelligence. It tests your patience, your conviction, and your ability to act without emotional permission. Maybe the biggest mistake isn't buying too early. Maybe it's waiting until nobody can convince you anymore that you're wrong. Ten years from now, what do you think people will regret more: buying Bitcoin too early, or never buying because they were waiting for the perfect moment? submitted by /u/No-Net3991 [link] [comments]

Elaborate Fake Gemini Support Call Scam PSA

COINS NEWS

Heads up - just received a call from a woman saying that my account had a strange login from Spain and she knew my email and my name and my phone number. They put me on hold and then forwarded me to some guy who asked about my account and if I had any other accounts and then they sent me a fake email that was trying to look like Gemini Help department, he asked to confirm my Coinbase balance because he saw I had an account there and said that my other account was compromised as well. At that point I was like yeahhhhh no and hung up. They used multiple people and had a few pieces of data and both people had western accents and acted professional. submitted by /u/XXXMrHOLLYWOOD [link] [comments]

Bitcoin benefits no matter what happens

COINS NEWS

Every bitcoin commentator on the internet seems to look at their own local news events and claim these events are somehow good or bad for bitcoins price. From western countries and their local tax policy moves, to conflict in eastern europe or the middle east, to local policy decisions in asia. But bitcoin is so much larger than any localised narratives, bitcoin is not a local stock market. All that news is nothing but noise. Bitcoin only cares about aggregate liquidty, and when it comes to aggregate liquidity only one question matters, when the next global "event" hits will global central banks keep rates high and allow a recession to take hold or will they drop rates and stimulate the global economy with money printing? The answer is simple, since 2008 the worlds central banks and governments have proven unequivocally that their only response to any macro event or crisis will be to cut rates and stimulate because the alternative would smash the global financial system. The next time central banks and governments face a global crisis they will cut rates and stimulate, and thats all we need to know because easy money policy is what fuels bitcoins adoption and exponential price growth. So many commentators are expecting a business cycle recession that will crash markets but since 2008 global central bank policy has been stimulus at all costs to protect the traditional financial system. Central banks wont allow a global recession, at the first sign of any recession or crisis they will stimulate and that means scarce assets will be the best protection from easy money policy. So forget the local news headlines, ignore any talk of a recession, and just understand that bitcoin will benefit from easy money policy during any potential global crisis. submitted by /u/slvbtc [link] [comments]

first etherealize and ethereum community foundation. then ethlabs. now ethereum institutional. wth is going on?

COINS NEWS

i produced an explainer on the new wave of ethereum-aligned organizations splintering off from the ethereum foundation: etherealize, the ethereum community foundation, and ETHLabs, launching on june 22nd with five senior EF researchers and significant institutional backing the day after ETHLabs, the EF announced it was cutting 20% of its workforce ???? it's been a chaotic, turbulent time within the ethereum ecosystem, and i wanted to document my thoughts on why this is happening now and what that could mean for the future of ethereum. lo and behold, as i was finishing production, yet another independent organization founded by ex-EF team members spawned: ethereum institutional. the story literally outran the edit/production ???? the evidence points both directions: vitalik was writing about distributing the protocol's brain trust across multiple orgs back in 2017. but you can also read this moment as a centre shrinking faster than what the ecosystem is ready to absorb. video: https://youtu.be/sF3NlQBIQDE genuine question for anyone closer to the research side: is coordination between these orgs actually happening anywhere visible? shared calls, forums, roadmap alignment? ----------- if we're meeting for the first time — hi ???? i built this channel to spread the good word on good work in crypto. a like, a comment, and a sub on my channel goes a long way to supporting my work :) submitted by /u/haochizzle [link] [comments]

The ethics provision is not in the CLARITY Act: Expect significant downward pressure on crypto in the coming weeks once the new draft of the legislation is released this week

COINS NEWS

While we all knew this thing had no chance of passing, it seems like the market players were holding out hope. Now that it will be outright rejected by democrats with no real opportunity to re-draft before the August recess, everyone will come to the same conclusion that its dead. because not everyone realized this, and because institutional investors are as knee-jerk as retail investors, expect them all to pull away more than they have been in the previous year. Source: Various news outlets who spoke to senators responsible for drafting the new version have reported the ethics provision is NOT among the new 70 pages. Democrats have already said in no uncertain terms, no ethics provision, no vote. https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/ethics-standoff-clouds-clarity-act-130725334.html submitted by /u/Ill-Square-1123 [link] [comments]

Singularity Future Technology ($SGLY): FAQ for Getting Payment on the $3M Settlement over Crypto Business Claims

COINS NEWS

Hey guys, I posted about this settlement before, but since they’re accepting late claims, I decided to share it again with a little FAQ. So here's all I know about this agreement: What happened? Singularity Future Technology was accused of misleading investors about its shift from a logistics company into a crypto hardware business, including claims about mining equipment, partnerships, and business operations. After reports questioned these claims, $SGLY dropped more than 90%, and investors filed a lawsuit. Now the company has agreed to settle $3 million with investors for their losses. Who can claim this settlement? If you bought $SGLY shares between 2021 and 2023, you may be eligible to participate, even if you sold your shares How long does the payout process take? It typically takes 4 to 9 months after the claim deadline for payouts to be processed, depending on the court and settlement administration. Hope this info helps submitted by /u/JuniorCharge4571 [link] [comments]

Academic survey: How do informed actors evaluate a fixed money supply? [Master's research]

COINS NEWS

Hi all, I'm conducting research for my Master's thesis on whether a fixed, algorithmically-determined money supply could function as a viable monetary system. The research examines the trade-offs between rule-based credibility (H1) and macroeconomic risks (deflation, financial stability, policy flexibility). I'm looking for respondents with economic or finance background to complete a 10 minute survey that assesses: Whether algorithmic rule-binding increases monetary credibility Deflation mechanics in a fixed-money-supply economy Crisis stabilization mechanisms (or lack thereof) Overall viability as a practical alternative to Fiat systems The survey is anonymous, GDPR-compliant, and will contribute to the broader academic debate about alternative monetary architectures. If you have professional experience in economics, finance, or related fields and are interested in this question—your informed perspective would be valuable. → Survey: https://www.soscisurvey.de/MA544116/ Im aware that this is not necessarily the optimal place to look for answers, but it should be neutral regardless. Thank you! submitted by /u/Sensitive-Stage1776 [link] [comments]

What is your actual strategy for taking profits when legacy banks flag everything?

COINS NEWS

Making successful trades on the charts is only half the battle nowadays. The real headache is the off-ramp logistics. It feels like traditional commercial banks have completely tightened their compliance algorithms lately, and trying to pull a decent chunk of money out of an exchange is a fast track to getting your account frozen or hit with endless source of funds requests. I am honestly considering shifting away from digital wires entirely for my profit-taking strategy. I was looking into alternative cash settlement networks where you swap your assets and they just have a courier bring physical paper cash straight to your door or send it via mail. Bypassing the banking system entirely sounds like a perfect solution for privacy, but I am super skeptical about how it plays out in real life. If a courier turns up on your porch with an envelope of paper bills, how do you even verify everything is totally legit before they walk away? Has anyone here actually tried a physical cash delivery method to protect their trading profits from bank lockdowns, or is the physical security aspect way too risky to mess with compared to traditional methods? submitted by /u/Vane1st [link] [comments]

How does this bear market stack up to cycles prior?

COINS NEWS

I've been DCA in since October of 2024 but have recently allotted more to my DCA figure during this bear market. For those who have been in for one or more cycles how does this bear market compare in terms of the rate of which BTC is falling? Looking at previous cycles it appears that the volatility was much greater as opposed to the past 9 months of a drop and then a plateau. submitted by /u/False-Negotiation-17 [link] [comments]
