Need to know what happened in crypto today? Here is the latest news on daily trends and events impacting Bitcoin price, blockchain, DeFi, NFTs, Web3 and crypto regulation. Today in crypto, competition in the Bitcoin mining industry is intensifying, with smaller miners gaining ground on their larger rivals in realized hashrate.

The Bitcoin mining industry is experiencing rising competition following the 2024 halving, with mid-tier miners narrowing the gap in realized hashrate as challenging post-halving economics persist. Recent data from The Miner Mag shows that public miners such as HIVE Digital, Bitdeer and Cipher Mining have expanded their realized hashrates after years of infrastructure investment. These companies are now catching up to the largest players, including MARA Holdings, CleanSpark and Cango. Read more -

Bitcoin’s market cycles may stretch longer as ISM manufacturing data remains weak, hinting at extended macro headwinds and slower business recovery. The Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) has historically aligned with major peaks in Bitcoin’s market cycles — a pattern that, if repeated, could imply a longer-than-usual cycle this time around. The correlation between the ISM PMI and Bitcoin’s (BTC) price was first popularized by Real Vision’s Raoul Pal and has since gained traction among macro-focused crypto analysts. “All 3 past Bitcoin cycle tops have broadly aligned with this monthly, oscillating index,” analyst Colin Talks Crypto noted, referencing the recurring overlap between Bitcoin’s market highs and the PMI’s cyclical peaks.

Smaller Bitcoin miners surge in hashrate and debt as competition intensifies post-halving, reshaping the industry’s balance of power. The Bitcoin mining industry is becoming increasingly competitive, with so-called tier-2 operators closing the gap on established leaders in realized hashrate — a sign of a more level playing field following the 2024 halving. According to The Miner Mag, companies such as Cipher Mining, Bitdeer and HIVE Digital have rapidly expanded their realized hashrate after several years of infrastructure growth, narrowing the distance to top players like MARA Holdings, CleanSpark and Cango. “Their ascent highlights how the middle tier of public miners — once trailing far behind — has rapidly scaled production since the 2024 halving,” The Miner Mag wrote in its latest Miner Weekly newsletter.

Ledger’s new multisig app earns praise for tech upgrades but sparks backlash over added transaction fees. Crypto hardware wallet provider Ledger recently announced a new multisig interface that has been broadly welcomed as a technical improvement but criticized for introducing a new fee structure that some users have called a cash grab. The Ledger Multisig application will charge users a flat $10 fee for all transactions except token transfers, which incur a 0.05% variable fee. These charges come in addition to standard blockchain network gas fees, which are independent of Ledger. Ethereum developer and X user pcaversaccio criticized the move, writing: “You parade as Cypherpunk while trying to make Ledger Wallet (rebranded from Ledger Live) the single choke point for all crypto so you can squeeze everyone through it (guys, this won’t happen).” Read more -

RWA tokenization faces criticism, but regulatory clarity and institutional adoption prove it’s building the foundation for finance’s future. Opinion by: Alex Zhang, co-founder at Pharos Tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) is not a self-contained solution to traditional finance problems. To claim such a thing would be one-dimensional. As it stands, RWA tokenization is under immense pressure to perform despite showing clear value and signs of progress. Despite its progressive trajectory, the criticism leveled at RWA tokenization is immense. Critics say that decentralization alone is enough. Read more -

Yesterday, the governor of the Bank of Ghana, the country’s central bank, said that crypto regulations will be in place by the end of 2025. This follows draft guidelines the bank published last year. By introducing a strong legal footing for crypto investors and companies, Ghana will join nine other countries on the continent that have laws in place for digital assets. In general, crypto adoption is growing in Africa, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Grassroots adoption and retail activity make it the third-fastest-growing region for crypto. Read more -

HMRC has issued 65,000 crypto tax warning letters, but experts say UK investors who haven’t been contacted could still owe taxes. UK crypto investors could face tax bills even if they haven’t received warning letters from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), as the agency steps up efforts to track undeclared digital asset income. Last week, the Financial Times revealed that HMRC issued nearly 65,000 “nudge letters” in the 2024–25 tax year, more than double the number sent the year before. The letters urge investors to review their filings and voluntarily declare crypto-related gains before potential audits begin. However, tax experts warn that the agency’s growing use of exchange data and international reporting agreements means that investors who haven’t received a letter shouldn’t assume they’re in the clear.
