Crypto Founder Defends FBI Involvement After Developer Accidentally Causes Blockchain Split
A malformed transaction exposed a long-standing bug and briefly split Cardano’s mainnet into parallel chains, prompting exchanges to pause ADA deposits and withdrawals before a rapid patch restored consensus. An X user claimed responsibility, while Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson referred the matter to the FBI, sparking backlash and a developer resignation. The incident reignites debate over how “decentralized” networks rely on centralized coordination during crises.
Crypto VC Funding Surges to $4.65B in Q3, Second-Highest Since FTX
Venture capital rebounded to $4.65 billion in Q3, signaling renewed risk appetite and institutional engagement post-FTX. The funding momentum gives crypto startups fresh runway and points to cautious optimism across infrastructure and applications. It’s a key signal that builders and backers see durable demand beyond near-term price swings.
Litecoin ETF Sees Zero Inflows, Analysts Eye $1,000-$2,000 LTC Rally Behind XRP and SOL
Litecoin’s Canary ETF has recorded five straight sessions of zero net inflows, lagging far behind robust demand for new Solana and XRP products. While LTC trades around $85 and interest looks muted for now, upcoming ETFs from Grayscale, CoinShares, and REX-Osprey could shift sentiment. Some analysts still project a parabolic move in 2026–2027 with ambitious $1,000–$2,000 targets, albeit with high uncertainty.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP Jump as Rebound Gathers Pace. Where Cryptos Go Next
Major tokens rallied as sentiment improved, with traders weighing whether the bounce can stick. Macro conditions, regulatory signals, and institutional flows remain the key guides for durability. Volatility is still elevated, making risk management essential even as momentum returns.
XRP Price Aims at $2.5 After ETFs Record $164 Million in Inflows on Monday
XRP jumped nearly 15% to around $2.24 as new spot ETFs drew $164 million in one day, lifting cumulative ETF inflows to $586 million and draining exchange balances. A clean break above the $2.28 resistance could open room toward $2.36–$2.50, while failure risks a pullback to $2.14. ETF-driven demand is expanding institutional exposure but doesn’t eliminate short-term chop.
El barco del “profeta” del bitcoin hace aguas y los tiburones de Wall Street ya huelen la sangre
MSCI is reportedly weighing the exclusion of Michael Saylor’s company (MSTR) from key equity indices, a move that could force out passive funds and deepen volatility amid Bitcoin’s recent drawdown. With MSTR shares sharply lower, short interest elevated, and liquidity in focus, Saylor maintains the firm can endure deep drawdowns and is exploring tools like derivatives and tax-loss selling. Index decisions could materially influence flows around Bitcoin-treasury companies.
Should MSTR be Included in S&P500? Strategy Passed Over Again
The latest review reportedly left MSTR out of the S&P 500 again, underscoring how index criteria intersect with a company’s Bitcoin-heavy treasury strategy. The debate highlights questions about sector classification, earnings quality, and how traditional benchmarks should treat crypto-exposed corporates. Inclusion or exclusion has tangible implications for passive flows and liquidity.
Klarna to launch dollar-backed stablecoin as race in digital payments heats up
According to Yahoo Finance, Klarna plans to introduce a dollar-backed stablecoin as competition intensifies in digital payments. While details are limited in the provided input, the move signals mainstream fintechs edging closer to tokenized settlement and on-chain rails. It’s another step in the convergence of traditional payments and crypto infrastructure.
On vous explique The Bitcoin Society, le projet d’Éric Larchevêque qui veut transformer la bourse en coffre-fort Bitcoin
Éric Larchevêque launched The Bitcoin Society via a reverse takeover, aiming to mirror a MicroStrategy-style model of raising capital to accumulate BTC while building a community and premium clubs under a “Network Society” banner. A private placement of €10–€20 million is planned, with a governance structure that preserves founder control but raises oversight questions. The strategy offers regulated exposure to Bitcoin, alongside notable volatility and timing risks.
Malgré l’interdiction gouvernementale, la Chine redevient le troisième pôle mondial du minage de Bitcoin
Despite a 2021 ban, China has quietly reemerged as the No. 3 Bitcoin mining hub, with estimates around 14%–20% of global hashrate driven by cheap power and surplus data center capacity. Strong domestic sales at mining hardware makers and policy moves in Hong Kong hint at a softer stance on digital assets. The trend underscores how lucrative mining is to suppress and how policy could evolve pragmatically over time.
