Market-moving crypto headlines from the last 24 hours.
The bank is calling Morpho a dual-play on DeFi lending and onchain banking infrastructure, with a 37x DeFi expansion by 2030 underwriting the bid for roughly 33x upside on MORPHO.
Three consecutive losing quarters is a rare streak in BTC's history and the kind of pattern that historically precedes either capitulation or a slow grind to a new base.
The print came in 20K short of expectations and marked the weakest gain since the prior cycle, reinforcing the cooling-labor read that has driven rate-cut bets higher through the month.
The bank scrapped its inflow forecasts entirely, modelling zero net ETF demand over the next 12 months as $4B in June outflows and stalled legislation remove the market's main institutional bid.
Ethereum Institutional launches with backing from BitMine, SharpLink and Joseph Lubin as the Ethereum Foundation narrows its focus to the core protocol, betting that a neutral front door wins the…
A new nonprofit with Joe Lubin on board pairs ETH's base-layer credibility with named institutional backers, signalling that onchain-finance infrastructure is now a coordinated industry push rather…
ESMA's transitional window closes this week, and reverse-solicitation carve-outs are too narrow to keep offshore apps serving EU users in practice; enforcement through app stores will shape which…
The 140-company Open USD consortium, with Coinbase as a launch partner, looks like the first credible threat to USDC's distribution moat, and Circle still rates a $190 target.
Bitcoin finished the first half down 34% with two back-to-back losing quarters, a pattern seen only in the 2018 and 2022 bear cycles, and the seasonal Q4 rescue failed in both of those years.
The restaking protocol ditches its single-purpose design for vault infrastructure that can back insurance, credit, and RWAs, each with its own onchain risk parameters.
Cathie Wood's flagship fund deployed capital into the very names June was punishing most: $44M into COIN, $25M into CRCL, $8.2M into BLSH, all while the three stocks bled 20-40%.
A payments stack built on a stablecoin wallet reaching a 300M-user super-app is the legitimising story. Zero fees and a 10-minute SDK set the bar for consumer-grade crypto checkout across Asia.
Just 47 ICOs, IDOs and IEOs cleared a combined $40M last quarter, the thinnest public-sale pipeline since 2022 and a 95% collapse from the cycle peak.
The same scale that made BlackRock's fund the dominant spot $BTC vehicle now weighs on price when flows reverse, with $49K back on the table if $60K doesn't hold.
Record outflows from US spot bitcoin and ether ETFs in June contrast with $59M of net inflows into XRP products and $161M into Hyperliquid vehicles, with HYPE riding $80M in monthly protocol fees.
Binance is the most visible miss, but the regulatory drag is broader: just 7% of European crypto firms hold a MiCA license, and Ripple says the stablecoin rulebook is still being written in practice.
