Uniswap founder Hayden Adams said X's new feature showing the country that an account is based in was a form of “mandatory doxing.” Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has said a new feature rolled out by X revealing an account holder’s country was “risky,” agreeing with crypto users who flagged privacy concerns over the feature. X director of product Nikita Bier announced the feature was rolled out on Saturday, framing it as a way to ensure the integrity of the platform and allow users to verify information. Buterin said on Sunday that some accounts will eventually “find ways to pretend to be from countries that they are not,” but initially thought the change could have positive effects, such as increased visibility into how people from different communities feel about various issues.

Bitcoin open interest has seen a sharp decline in the last month, which one analyst says could form a “solid bottom” for it to climb back from. Bitcoin open interest has dropped off as the cryptocurrency’s price has slid over the past month, which an analyst argues could see Bitcoin hit a bottom and spark a “renewed bullish trend.” Open interest in terms of Bitcoin (BTC) has seen its “sharpest 30-day drop of the cycle” at around 1.3 million BTC, currently worth $114 billion with Bitcoin trading at $87,500, analyst “Darkfost” posted to CryptoQuant on Sunday. The cascading price of BTC over the past few weeks “continues to trigger liquidations,” pushing traders to double down or readjust their strategies. However, it now appears investors are halting futures trading to “reduce risk exposure. Read more -

Bitwise’s Matt Hougan says tokens are getting better at returning value to holders, and Ethereum's Fusako upgrade could “increase token value capture.” Crypto tokens are becoming increasingly efficient at capturing value, thanks in part to new regulations and upgrades, which could send prices surging in 2026, according to Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan. Hougan said in an X post on Saturday that in the chaos of the current market pullback, big news is getting lost, such as the level of value capture in digital assets trending upward. “Most of today’s tokens were created in a regulatory era where value capture was risky; as a result, they defaulted to vague governance-style design choices,” he said.

Jan van Eck says quantum computing could threaten Bitcoin's encryption and privacy, and his firm “will walk away” if it’s “fundamentally broken.” Bitcoin’s encryption and privacy could be at risk from quantum computing, but it is still a good investment for now, says Jan van Eck, CEO of investment manager VanEck. “There is something else going on within the Bitcoin community that non-crypto people need to know about,” van Eck told CNBC on Saturday. “The Bitcoin community has been asking itself: Is there enough encryption in Bitcoin? Because quantum computing is coming.” He said that the company believes in Bitcoin (BTC), but it was around before the cryptocurrency launched and “will walk away from Bitcoin if we think the thesis is fundamentally broken.” Read more -

Grayscale says Chainlink will anchor the next phase of blockchain adoption, positioning LINK as the core infrastructure powering tokenization. Grayscale has said that Chainlink will be at the center of the next major phase of blockchain adoption, referring to the project as the “critical connective tissue” that links crypto to traditional finance. In a recent research report, the asset manager argued that Chainlink (LINK)’s growing suite of software tools is emerging as essential infrastructure for tokenization, crosschain settlement and the broader shift toward real-world assets on blockchain rails. “A more accurate description of Chainlink today would be modular middleware that lets on-chain applications safely use off-chain data, interact across blockchains, and meet enterprise-grade compliance needs,” Grayscale wrote.

Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas says Zcash could dilute political and cultural support for Bitcoin, as critics accuse the privacy coin of manufactured hype. Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas has warned that Zcash may adversely impact Bitcoin at this crucial moment. In a recent post on X, Balchunas said Zcash (ZEC) has “third-party candidate vibes, like Gary Johnson or Jill Stein,” arguing that pushing a separate privacy coin risks “splitting the vote” when Bitcoin (BTC) needs unified political and cultural support. Balchunas’s comment comes as the Bitcoin vs Zcash debate intensifies. Arman Meguerian, founder and CEO of Timestamp, dismissed the idea that BTC supporters are pivoting to Zcash. “I don't know a single Bitcoin maxi that thinks about Zcash at all,” he wrote on X.

Crypto Dispensers is weighing a $100 million sale as its CEO faces federal accusations of running a multimillion-dollar money laundering scheme.

The crypto market hasn’t reached “euphoric levels,” which means less reason to expect a major landslide, according to Lyn Alden. A significant crash for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market doesn’t look likely at this stage, according to macroeconomist Lyn Alden. “We haven’t hit euphoric levels in this cycle; therefore, there is less of a reason to expect a kind of major capitulation,” Alden said during a recent episode of the What Bitcoin Did podcast. “The cycle could go on for longer than people can expect, because it’s not driven by the halving, it’s driven by broader macro and interest in the asset itself,” Alden said, shutting down the idea that the four-year cycle is still intact.

Bitcoin being widely used for daily payments in the future is just “out-of-the-money-option value upside,” according to BlackRock’s head of digital assets Robbie Mitchnick. BlackRock’s head of digital assets, Robbie Mitchnick, said that most of the world’s largest asset managers’ clients aren’t considering Bitcoin’s use for daily payments when deciding whether to invest in the asset. “I think for us, and most of our clients today, they’re not really underwriting to that global payment network case,” Mitchnick said during a podcast interview published to YouTube on Friday. “That’s sort of maybe out-of-the-money-option-value upside,” Mitchnick said.

A lack of conviction among "weak" hands will cause new Bitcoin holders to dump at the first sign of trouble, worsening market drawdowns. The transfer of Bitcoin (BTC) from long-term holders, also known as “OGs,” to “weak” hands will cause future drawdowns to be more severe, according to gold investor and economist Peter Schiff. Bitcoin is “finally having its IPO moment,” Schiff said on Saturday, adding that there is now enough liquidity in the Bitcoin market for long-term holders to cash out. “This much Bitcoin moving from strong to weak hands not only increases the float, but also means future selloffs will be bigger,” Schiff added.

The Cardano blockchain network suffered a temporary chain split on Friday due to an old software bug triggered by an abnormal transaction. The Cardano network suffered a temporary chain split on Friday, due to a “malformed” delegation transaction, transactions to delegate ADA (ADA) to a staking pool, which are valid on the protocol level but can cause code malfunctions that affect network functionality. This “malformed” transaction exploited an old code bug in the underlying software library used by the Cardano blockchain, resulting in a network partition due to a disagreement in how nodes processed the transaction, according to an incident report from Cardano ecosystem organization Intersect. Staking pool operators were directed to download the latest version of the node software to fix the issue and reconstitute the split chain into a single blockchain history. Read more -

The crypto exchange said the planned internal migration is a normal, "best practice" in the industry to maintain cybersecurity standards. Crypto exchange Coinbase initiated a large fund migration on Saturday, moving tokens to new internal wallets in a scheduled, routine security procedure to reduce long-term exposure of keeping funds in the same wallet addresses, which are publicly known. The migration is not due to any cybersecurity breaches or external threats, according to an announcement from the company. Coinbase said: This means that large Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and other token balances will be moving onchain from Coinbase wallets to other internal Coinbase wallets already labeled by blockchain explorers and intelligence platforms. Coinbase warned users that during the migration, scammers may attempt to exploit the situation by impersonating Coinbase representatives and reaching out to customers requesting login information or asking users to shift funds, which the exchange never does Read more -

Bitcoin ETFs pull in $238 million as Ether funds end an eight-day outflow streak and Solana products extend a ten-day run of inflows. Spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a rebound at the end of the week, with all Bitcoin, Ether and Solana funds seeing inflows after a week of volatility and downturns. On Friday, spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs attracted $238.4 million in net inflows after a wave of heavy redemptions the day before. BlackRock’s IBIT drove the turnaround with $108 million, while smaller contributions from BITB, ARKB, and BTCO helped lift sentiment. Even Grayscale’s GBTC, long pressured by outflows, added $61.5 million, according to data from Farside Investors.

A solo Bitcoin miner earned 3.146 BTC worth $266,000 with a computing power of only 1.2 TH/s, beating massive odds. A solo Bitcoin miner hit the jackpot on Friday, earning 3.146 BTC, worth roughly $266,000, after solving block 924,569 with only a tiny fraction of the computational power typically needed to win a block reward. The miner, who is believed to be operating a hobby-grade machine, struck gold with a hash rate of roughly 1.2 terahashes per second (TH/s), which is a speck of dust in an industry dominated by industrial-scale operations producing exahashes (one quintillion hashes per second). CKpool creator Con Kolivas announced the win on X, congratulating the “extremely lucky” miner and noting just how improbable the event was. He estimated that the odds translate to about 1.2 million to one per day at the miner’s reported hash rate. Read more
