Bitcoin-specific news — protocol activity, scaling layers, and BTC-centric applications.
The MicroStrategy chair sketched a future in which iPhones, bank apps and insurance policies all natively carry Bitcoin, framing it as sound money spreading from the US outward.
The vote is the first concrete state-level rejection of municipal Bitcoin-collateralized debt and lands weeks after several states warmed to the same instrument.
The launch lands ahead of any concrete quantum threat to Bitcoin's secp256k1 curve, but it gives institutions a framework to triage UTXO exposure now, before the timeline forces a decision.
Strategy's first major sale since 2020 forced the conversation: how much of Bitcoin's float should any one entity control? BitGo's CEO drew the line at single digits.
Supply on centralized venues sits at multi-year lows, but with coins moving into ETFs, corporate treasuries and DeFi rather than cold storage, the old bullish read is overdue for a rewrite.
Eli Ben-Sasson argues that lost keys will erode Bitcoin's fixed supply to zero over time and pushes for a clearer monetary policy with an absolute upper bound.
July has historically delivered a single-digit-percent bounce inside midterm-year weakness, and Bitcoin just ripped off the early-July low, but 2018 and 2022 show those gains typically get handed…
Only the third BTC sale in Strategy's history, and the first that meaningfully tests whether management will offload bitcoin to defend dollar liquidity rather than simply topline MSTR's stack.
Eli Ben-Sasson's 4% perpetual issuance pitch reframes a long-taboo question: what replaces the 21M cap when lost keys permanently shrink circulating supply.

The largest US-accessible prediction market is plugging directly into the BTC rail, turning sat-settled wagers from a niche curiosity into a real on-ramp for the dominant crypto treasury asset.
Lightning funding cuts the on-ramp to a seconds-long flow for prediction-market traders, sidestepping bank rails, KYC, and the multi-day transfer windows.
The product swaps price-triggered margin calls for a 10-day payment grace period, a structural shift that turns bitcoin-backed borrowing into a credit question rather than a price bet.
Every major underwriter opened SpaceX with a buy-equivalent rating, but the spread from Goldman's $205 to Raymond James's $800 is the real story for investors pricing the post-IPO range.
The disagreement is itself the signal: cycle-bottom calls rarely get unanimous, and a still-active $40K-bid camp means conviction on a durable bottom remains underweight.

Covered calls have been a TradFi staple for decades; bringing them inside Binance Earn means the strategy now reaches the largest retail crypto cohort on the planet, but capped upside in a bull run…
