Bitcoin drops to $77.6k as U.S.-Iran fighting, rate jitters weigh Investing.com-- Bitcoin fell on Wednesday, extending losses after logging strong monthly gains in August as renewed U.S.-Iran fighting and persistent uncertainty over interest rates weighed on risk-driven assets.  The world’s biggest crypto fell 1.4% to $77,670.6 by 02:04 ET (06:04 GMT), after rallying nearly 25% in August. But this rally came to a halt in September as crypto markets were spooked by a resurgence in Treasury yields, while renewed U.S.-Iran military action also dented risk appetite. Renewed buying action by top corporate holder Strategy offered limited support to Bitcoin, even as the company marked its first Bitcoin purchase in two months.  Get more...

Bitcoin and Gold Gain as Currency Debasement Fears Surge 750% in Two Weeks Bitcoin and Gold Gain as Currency Debasement Fears Surge 750% in Two Weeks The chart shows global M2 growth accelerating alongside gold over the past several years. The Kobeissi Letter, citing the analysis, said global M2 was expanding around 8.5% year over year, up from approximately 7% in June. The model should not be treated as a $5,025 price target. It describes where gold would sit based on its historical relationship with global liquidity rather than predicting that the metal must reach that level. Still, investor demand has been moving in the same direction. The analysis showed $18.9 billion of trailing 12-month gold ETF inflows, up from...

One is the large amount of capital still sitting outside crypto. Lee said some investors continue to follow the market's traditional four-year cycle and are waiting until around October before declaring the latest crypto winter over. That could bring short sellers and traders who moved into AI-related equities back into digital assets. Lee highlighted Asia as another potential source of demand...

Early Bitcoin Whale Burns $8.5M After 12-Year Dormancy and Mystery $1M Round Trip Early Bitcoin Whale Burns $8.5M After 12-Year Dormancy and Mystery $1M Round Trip The burn itself consisted of five transfers of approximately 36.79 BTC, 28.89 BTC, 20.03 BTC, 20.01 BTC and 1.42 BTC. Contemporary blockchain tracking put the combined total at 107.13 BTC. Why would someone hold Bitcoin for more than a decade, briefly move part of it through a custodian and then deliberately destroy millions of dollars? There is still no verified answer. Tax motives, compromised coins, protest and even an operational mistake have all been proposed, but none fits the available evidence conclusively. What the blockchain does show is harder to dispute: an...

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...

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...
