BitGo’s headline revenue figure doubled year-over-year to $3.8 billion, but a Bitcoin price decline and IPO-related costs pushed net losses to $60.7 million in the first quarter. Digital asset infrastructure company BitGo reported a wider first-quarter net loss as Bitcoin treasury mark-to-market losses and IPO-related expenses outweighed stronger client growth and a year-over-year jump in revenue. Revenue for the quarter ended March 31 was $3.8 billion, up from $1.8 billion a year earlier, driven by higher digital asset trading activity and growing contributions from its stablecoin business, the company announced Wednesday. Revenue fell 38.7% from Q4 2025’s $6.2 billion, partly due to a shift in client trading from spot to derivatives, a product BitGo launched at the start of the quarter that generated roughly $3 billion in notional volume. However, net loss widened to $60.7 million from $25.7 million in Q1 2025, hit by a $53.7 million non-cash loss tied to the declining value of the company’s Bitcoin treasur...

One of the developers behind the crypto-mixing protocol Samourai Wallet has publicly expressed hopes for a pardon, along with FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. US President Donald Trump is reportedly considering pardoning 250 people to commemorate the country's 250th birthday on July 4, according to The Wall Street Journal. An official announcement could come on June 14, Trump's birthday, or during the Independence Day event on July 4, the WSJ reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. However, the pardons are still in the preliminary stages and have yet to be confirmed. More than 16,000 formal requests for presidential pardons were submitted last year.  Read more

A New York judge has ordered supplemental briefings because Aave did not adequately outline how compounding losses could occur if the restraining notice remains in place. A New York judge has delayed a decision on Aave’s emergency bid to unfreeze $71 million worth of crypto tied to victims of the $293 million Kelp DAO hack, asking for additional information ahead of a new hearing in June.  Aave has sought to use $71 million in ETH that Arbitrum froze to assist with recovery efforts following the Kelp DAO hack, one of the worst DeFi hacks this year. However, US law firm Gerstein Harrow LLP filed a restraining notice at the start of May, arguing its clients have a claim to the funds. Aave then filed an emergency motion to get the funds unlocked, arguing that user liquidations and potential DeFi market destabilization could occur if the funds are not unlocked soon.    Read more

Nakamoto CEO David Bailey said the company is focused on scaling its Bitcoin treasury, services and trading strategies for the remainder of 2026. Bitcoin company Nakamoto saw a 500% quarter-on-quarter increase in Q1 revenue after completing two key strategic acquisitions in February aimed at expanding its footprint across the Bitcoin ecosystem.  Despite recording a $238.8 million net loss, Nakamoto CEO David Bailey said Wednesday that Q1 “marked a transformational period” for the company as it closed the acquisitions of Bitcoin-focused news outlet BTC Inc. and Bitcoin-focused investment platform UTXO Management. More than $1.1 million of Nakamoto’s revenue came from its new Bitcoin treasury and derivatives strategy, $800,000 from its media business, $500,000 from healthcare operations and $200,000 from asset management services.  Read more

The testnet system uses post-quantum cryptography and zk-STARK proofs to protect encrypted transaction data from future quantum computing attacks. Developers behind the Tezos ecosystem launched a testnet prototype for private blockchain payments designed to resist future quantum computing attacks, as concerns grow that advances in quantum technology could eventually compromise existing blockchain privacy systems. The prototype, called TzEL, uses post-quantum cryptography and zk-STARK proofs to shield transaction data and encrypted payment metadata that could otherwise be vulnerable to “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, where encrypted blockchain data collected today is decrypted in the future, according to Tezos. The prototype also uses Tezos’ Data Availability Layer to handle the larger proof sizes associated with post-quantum cryptography, which developers say has been one of the main technical barriers to building scalable quantum-resistant privacy systems onchain.

Bitcoin’s rally may reverse as its price has hit a historic resistance level and traders appear to already be taking profits, said CryptoQuant in a note on Wednesday. Bitcoin is at risk of falling into a downtrend after its price hit a key historical “major bear market resistance level” based on its 200-day moving average, according to the crypto analytics firm CryptoQuant. The cryptocurrency hit its 200-day moving average of $82,400 after rallying over six weeks since early April when it fell to $66,000, CryptoQuant said in a report on Wednesday. “The 200-day MA [moving average] was a major resistance in the 2022 bear market: the price resumed its downward trend after hitting it in March of that year,” it said. “The current setup raises the question of whether history repeats.” Read more

Armstrong said the bill is "closer than ever" to advancing in the US Congress after months of negotiations between the crypto industry and banks. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is supporting the latest version of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY) ahead of the US Senate's markup of the crypto market structure bill on Thursday.  “I don't think it's ever been in a stronger or more bipartisan position,” he said about the latest iteration of the market structure bill. Armstrong said that the banking and crypto industry lobbies have reached a “healthy compromise” on stablecoin yield, which was one of the main issues that stalled the market structure bill in January. He added: Read more
