The latest crypto downturn is hammering companies that built their business models around holding digital assets. The month-long slide in crypto prices hasn’t just hit major assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) — it’s also dealing heavy losses to digital asset treasury companies that built their business models around accumulating crypto on their balance sheets.

Falling hashprice and a decline in Bitcoin’s prices are causing pain in the mining industry that has spread throughout the supply chain. Bitcoin’s mining sector is under mounting pressure as the hash price, the industry’s key profitability metric, slips toward levels that could force smaller operators offline and strain the wider supply chain. Hash price, which measures expected daily revenue per unit of computational power, is currently around $42 per petahash per second (PH/s). The metric has been in steady decline since July, when it surged above $62 per PH/s. The push toward the $40 level leads Bitcoin mining operations, which are already facing razor-thin profit margins, to consider shutting down their rigs, according to TheMinerMag. Read more

Defense attorneys reportedly requested a mistrial as jurors said they weren’t close to reaching a verdict in the case involving a $25 million Ethereum exploit. Jurors who will decide whether two brothers are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a case involving maximal extractable value (MEV) bots on the Ethereum blockchain are no closer to reaching a verdict going into the weekend. According to reporting from Inner City Press at a New York City court on Friday, the jurors in the US government’s case against Anton and James Peraire-Bueno requested additional clarification from the judge regarding the intentions behind their actions. Despite the instructions from the judge, the jurors were reportedly “having an issue reaching a unanimous verdict” in the case. The reporting suggested that the jury could find the brothers not guilty on at least one of the charges for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy to receive stolen property. Judge Jessica Clarke denied the defense lawyers’ reques...

Outflows from Bitcoin ETFs over the last month have been relatively small despite October's historic market crash that slashed prices by 20%. Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw less than $1 billion in outflows following the historic crypto market crash in October that caused a 20% decline in BTC’s price, according to senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas. The ETFs broke a six-day outflow streak on Thursday, recording about $240 million in capital inflows, Balchunas said, sharing a chart that showed net outflows of about $722 million over the past month. “Told y’all the ETF-using boomers are no joke. So who’s been selling? To quote that horror movie, ‘Ma’am, the call is coming from inside the house,’” Balchunas said. The comments refer to the 400,000 BTC sold by Bitcoin whales and long-term BTC holders, who cashed in around the $100,000 price level during October. Read more
