Bitcoin sellers are now at their second-most exhausted level in history.
Similar levels have marked major bear-market bottoms in 2015, 2017, and 2022.
Could 2026 be next?
Vitalik before developing the ETH stablecoin. 🤣
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says tokenization of financial assets is coming faster than AI. He believes the market is still underestimating how big this shift could be and how quickly traditional assets may start moving onchain
BTC futures open interest is slowly starting to recover, but it’s still sitting around levels we saw a year ago. The market feels completely dead right now. No excitement, no real aggression from either side. Just pure apathy
Would you actually sign up for a “do not show me gambling ads” list?
Australia is apparently setting up a national register where you can opt out of gambling ads online instead of having to change the setting separately on every platform.
Kind of surprised this isn't already a thing.
If someone has decided they don't want to see betting ads anymore, making them hunt through the settings of every app seems unnecessary.
I'd probably want this for other ad categories too tbh.
I don’t think it’ll change anything for crypto casinos targeting Australian users on VPN however.

Bitcoin Trades at a Coinbase Discount for 90 Days
Bitcoin has now traded at a negative Coinbase premium for 90 straight days, the longest streak in CoinGlass index history. It points to weak demand from US buyers. Right now, American investors seem much more interested in chasing AI stocks than BTC.
Bitcoin Spot Trading Volume Hits Lowest Level Since 2019
Bitcoin has been stuck between $63K and $68.7K for almost three months, while spot trading volume has dropped to its lowest level since 2019.
Selling pressure is fading, but buyers are still missing. ETF inflows remain weak, coins continue moving to exchanges, and leveraged longs are piling up.
Several on-chain indicators are approaching levels seen near previous bear market bottoms.
If BTC loses $58.5K, low liquidity and crowded longs could trigger a wave of liquidations and push the price even lower.
🇺🇸 Democrats are preparing investigations into companies linked to Trump after the elections, Reuters reports
The potential investigations could also involve Apple, Alphabet, Palantir, Blackstone, BlackRock and companies connected to Elon Musk, focusing on their contracts and ties with the U.S. administration.
Democrats reportedly see this strategy as potentially more effective than direct confrontation with the White House.
One Democratic representative said the goal would not be to immediately pursue Trump’s impeachment, but rather to build a broad evidence base around his administration and its relationships with major corporations.
Republicans currently control the House, which significantly limits what Democrats can do. But if Democrats win a House majority in the elections, they would gain the power to issue subpoenas, demand documents and hold congressional hearings.
Employee Secretly Mined Bitcoin Using 100 Company Computers
Back in 2021, an employee at a mining company secretly redirected the computing power of around 100 corporate machines to his own mining pool.
The mined BTC was then sent directly to his personal wallets.
In total, the scheme earned him around 1 BTC.
Working for a mining company and secretly mining from your own employer is kinda wild 😅
Jim Cramer says he's selling Bitcoin because of quantum. Are we underestimating it?
Quantum isn't breaking Bitcoin today.
But the interesting part is that the conversation is no longer just about when quantum becomes a threat.
It's about whether crypto is preparing early enough.
What do you think?
A trader reportedly turned $1,000 into $946,207 trading Bitcoin on Polymarket. Almost $1M from $1K… sounds absolutely insane 😳
The idea was apparently borrowed from hurricane forecasting. Instead of relying on one prediction, Claude analyzes 5-minute BTC markets while MiroFish simulates 31 different scenarios. A trade is only opened when 28 out of 31 agree. If fewer than 26 agree, it stays out.
The idea itself is definitely possible. But turning $1K into $946K is the part I’d want to see verified with actual trading history before believing it.
The interesting part isn’t predicting the market. It’s using consensus.
SATOSHI NAKAMOTO STATUE IS SPOTTED IN TOKYO, JAPAN 🇯🇵 He created the world’s hardest money, then vanished forever 👀
Billionaire Grant Cardone says he plans to buy another $20 million worth of Bitcoin. Large investors continue increasing their BTC exposure despite recent market uncertainty, signaling that long-term conviction among major players remains strong.
Strategy sold 1,691 BTC last week. Not something you see from Saylor’s company very often. After years of buying almost every dip, seeing BTC actually leave the balance sheet gets attention. Could be a one-off move, or we might see more selling from Strategy
Democraioc Karens Target Gillibrand for Legislating and Common Sense
TL;DR: Warren is completely butt-hurt because her strategy of pressuring Gary Gensler to regulate crypto by enforcement failed and made her look ridiculous. Like a total Karen, when she got publicly embarrassed, she doubled down by attacking her own party through the Clarity Act. She is now aggressively waving her finger at Sen. Gillibrand (D-NY) for working on a bipartisan bill that a ton of other Democrats actually support. Even though Whitehouse divestment is achievable, apparently, having no rules is better than just policing an industry by self appointed community watch groups.
Sen Warren is personally leading the charge to torch the bill. Because she couldn't get her own party to kill it, she is using outside activist groups as a weapon to circulate a nasty letter in the Senate hitting Gillibrand below the belt over her son’s crypto ties. Warren is screaming that Democrats will "lose their moral authority" against if Gillibrand is allowed to broker the final compromise.
This has forced Warren into a bizarre, hypocritical alignment with traditional banking lobbies. And yeah—counter to popular belief in the crypto industry, Warren has historically been a massive adversary to Dimon and the big banks. But this is a case of a Karen who looked foolish, cost her party a significant constituency in the last election, and is now acting out by trying to over-determine her own party's legislative agenda just to save face.
