Bitcoin Price Faces Fresh Fed Risk as September Rate Hike Odds Jump Above 50% Bitcoin Price Faces Fresh Fed Risk as September Rate Hike Odds Jump Above 50% Analyst David pointed to steep backwardation in both WTI and Brent futures, where near-term oil trades at a premium to later contracts. In his view, that curve shows a tighter physical market than headline oil prices alone suggest. His Bitcoin argument runs through inflation: expensive oil could keep the Fed tighter for longer and pressure BTC first. If policymakers eventually respond to economic stress with greater debt issuance or liquidity, however, he argues the longer-term monetary case for Bitcoin could strengthen. Bitcoin Retail Traders Are Still Missing One potentially...

Bitcoin’s worst is over, former Credit Suisse risk head sees $150,000 by 2027 Investing.com -- Bitcoin has weathered the worst of its current cycle and is on track to reach $150,000 by late 2027, according to CK Zheng, former global head of valuation risk at Credit Suisse, who points to greater regulatory clarity as the catalyst that could draw institutions off the sidelines. Speaking to Investing.com, Zheng, who is now co-founder and CIO of ZX Squared Capital, argued the latest drawdown reflects a maturing asset class rather than the kind of collapse seen previously.  "During the 2022 bear market cycle, the crypto industry faced a widespread of business failures," he said, citing the failures of Terra/Luna, Celsius, Voyager and...

Crypto.com's Cronos Halts Entire Blockchain After $75M Tectonic Exploit Crypto.com’s Cronos Halts Entire Blockchain After $75M Tectonic Exploit It was possible because Cronos runs a capped validator set of 100, small enough to coordinate a shutdown quickly. The trade-off is that everything else stopped too: open loans, trades, payouts, and automated positions belonging to users who never touched Tectonic. Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek said the exchange and app were operating normally and that customer funds were safe, promising a postmortem. Tectonic told depositors not to interact with the protocol until it confirmed doing so was safe. Li called it the third Mango-style attack in recent weeks, following one on Moonwell, where...

Strategy’s Bitcoin Is $2.8 Billion in Profit—Is Saylor Teeing Up a Buy? Strategy’s Bitcoin Is $2.8 Billion in Profit—Is Saylor Teeing Up a Buy? MicroStrategy, known for its substantial Bitcoin holdings, recently announced it's sitting on a profit of $2.8 billion from its Bitcoin investments.

However, Saylor has historically been a staunch advocate of Bitcoin, referring to it as a long-term store of value.

As bitcoin soars people ask who is Giancarlo Devasini, Italy's richest man? As bitcoin soars people ask who is Giancarlo Devasini, Italy's richest man? One of the earliest traces of Devasini's entry into the Bitcoin world dates back to 2012, when he appeared on a Bitcoin forum offering to sell CDs and DVDs for bitcoin. At the time, the cryptocurrency was worth a tiny fraction of its current value. Then came Bitfinex, the cryptocurrency exchange, and above all Tether. Tether began life as Realcoin in 2014 before being renamed later that year. Devasini, already closely involved with Bitfinex, went on to become a central figure at the stablecoin company. A few years later, Paolo Ardoino, a computer scientist from the Italian region...

Is Bitcoin a 'Buy' Right Now? BlackRock Slashes ETF Swap Minimum 96% From $25M to $1M Is Bitcoin a 'Buy' Right Now? BlackRock Slashes ETF Swap Minimum 96% From $25M to $1M Bernstein analysts expect Bitcoin to reach approximately $125,000 by the end of 2026, set a new high of $150,000 by mid-2027, and hit a cycle peak of around $300,000 in 2029 under their base-case outlook. Under a bull-case scenario where accelerating currency debasement drives stronger institutional inflows, the firm projects that Bitcoin could surge to $200,000 by mid-2027 and $500,000 by 2029, while maintaining its long-term prediction of $1 million by the end of 2033. Alongside its updated crypto roadmap, Bernstein maintained its "Outperform" rating on...

Reform UK Seeks to Play Down Crypto, Show Off Diplomatic Clout Reform UK Seeks to Play Down Crypto, Show Off Diplomatic Clout Farage faces a parliamentary investigation into whether he should have declared £5 million ($6.8 million) that he received from Thailand-based crypto investor Christopher Harborne and could potentially face a recall petition over the matter, which would trigger another by-election. The Brexit architect quit his seat in Parliament and won it back this summer in an effort to forestall the probe and demonstrate his continued support from the public. The funding scandal, along with a raft of infighting between rival Reform camps, has complicated Farage's efforts to show that the party is ready to take power...

Pablo Hernandez de Cos told the U.S. Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium in Wyoming that the two instruments could exist together.

And it comes when Solana's leading apps (Pump.fun, Fomo) are seeing explosive growth. It's quite the bullish setup… 🌎 Macro Crypto and Markets...

Bitcoin Gains Regulatory Ground as Crypto Rules Remain Unsettled for CLARITY Act Market Implications of the CLARITY Act News Mitchnick attributed Bitcoin's rally while equities struggled last week to distinct risk-and-return drivers rather than to equity-beta behavior. He pointed to Bitcoin's own flows and the debasement trade, while citing investor concerns about global debt and deficits. He also said younger demographics were increasingly favoring Bitcoin over gold as a store of value. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded cumulative net inflows of $54.6Bn and total net assets of $98.6Bn, according to SoSoValue. In Mitchnick's framing, the CLARITY Act is less central to Bitcoin's current institutional case than it is to crypto...

Trump wants to bring an obscure crypto platform to the US. Wall Street will be watching. Trump wants to bring an obscure crypto platform to the US. Wall Street will be watching. Hyperliquid allows users to make 24/7 bets on the price of assets tied to stocks, gold, and oil, a feature that helped launch the three-year-old platform into the spotlight earlier this year as one of the only oil-trading hubs that was open over the weekend when the Iran war kicked off. It does so by allowing traders to borrow money to amplify their bets thanks to a controversial product known as perpetual futures, or perps. Hyperliquid users can turbocharge their wagers by as much as 40 times on certain assets. But such so-called leverage cuts both ways —...

Prediction markets have never been bigger, or more contested. Kalshi, Polymarket and Polymarket US together posted a record $50.59 billion in combined volume in July, with Kalshi accounting for roughly 74.5% of the total. In the same month, New York City opened a probe into both leading venues, a Washington judge ordered Kalshi to halt most wagers in the state, and the CFTC began an internal review of so-called “mention markets.” Amid that scrutiny, a simpler question has gone largely unexamined: when two venues list the same question, do they...
