Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood says Bitcoin’s long-running four-year pattern may be losing its grip as big financial players buy and hold more of the supply, a shift that could tame price swings and change how investors plan ahead. Institutional Buying Is Changing Markets According to Wood, large firms and spot ETFs are slowly locking up coins that used to flow in and out of retail hands. The most recent halving, on April 20, 2024, cut the miner reward to 3.125 BTC. On a daily basis, that reduction translated to about a 450 Bitcoin drop in supply each day, a figure some analysts call small compared with the trillions attributed to the market’s value and the billions moving…

Shiba Inu’s effort to grow beyond being a meme coin is struggling. Its blockchain network, Shibarium, was created to bring real use and value to the project, but it has not gained much attention or activity. Developer interest and user engagement are very low, and the network’s overall growth has slowed down sharply. Recent network issues, including technical troubles and security problems, have made things worse. Many users have left, and new projects are not joining. As a result, Shibarium now shows very little activity, leading many in the crypto community to call it a “ghost chain.” Shiba Inu’s Struggle To Evolve Beyond A Meme Coin Shiba Inu tried to change its ima…

According to NYDIG research, Bitcoin’s price moves are driven more by the strength of the US dollar and broad liquidity conditions than by direct ties to inflation. Greg Cipolaro, NYDIG’s global head of research, said the data show weak and inconsistent links between inflation measures and Bitcoin. That view shifts attention away from the old narrative that Bitcoin is mainly an inflation hedge. Inflation Link Weak Cipolaro argued that expectations for inflation are a slightly better signal than headline inflation readings, but still not a tight predictor of Bitcoin’s price. Instead, Bitcoin and gold both tend to gain when the US dollar weakens. While gold’s inverse re…

Widely followed Bitcoin figure Lark Davis pushed back on suggestions that Cardano is finished, saying, “what is dead can never die.” At the same time, he pointed out that on-chain activity looks flat. Cardano (ADA) was trading at $0.51, down 8.8% in the past 24 hours, and it holds a market cap of $18.8 billion. That is the context for a larger question now being asked across crypto circles: can community and hype move a token more than real network use? On-Chain Activity Shows Little Movement Davis admits that user activity is low and DEX volume is thin. Development updates are limited, daily revenue is weak, and stablecoins barely register on the chain. He made his p…

While most eyes remain fixated on Bitcoin’s price swings and ETF inflows, the real revolution is unfolding quietly in its code. This silent evolution is redefining how value, contracts, and trust can operate on the leading secure blockchain. How Layer-2s Are Turning Bitcoin Into A Dynamic Ecosystem Bitcoin’s new all-time high (ATH) is dominating the timeline, but it’s not the real story. Under the surface of price charts and speculation, a quiet technological revolution is taking shape and could redefine BTC’s utility in the ecosystem. In an X post, High Tower revealed the real ATH is in the code, and the movement centers on BitVM2, an evolution of the original BitVM mod…

A senior executive at DeFi Development Corp. (DFDV) has delivered one of the most aggressive long-term forecasts for the Solana price yet. According to him, Solana could see its value catapult to $10,000, leaving much of the market in the dust. This outlook, shaped by recent market turbulence and years of crypto experience, has drawn attention from industry experts as the DFDV executive outlines how SOL can reach this target by capturing a significant share of the global digital value. Solana Price To Reach $10,000 In 10 Years DFDV COO and CIO Parker White recently shared his long-term thesis on Solana following a rough week for risk assets in the market. White argued t…

Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the co-founder of Binance and former CEO of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, is reportedly aligning himself with President Donald Trump’s policy initiatives following his recent release from a four-month jail sentence. This shift comes as Zhao seeks to navigate the complexities of his situation in the US in light of his legal challenges, including a formal application for a presidential pardon after serving time for violations related to anti-money laundering laws (AML). Will CZ’s Strategy Result? As reported by Crypto in America, Zhao’s foundation, Giggle Academy, has partnered with American Legion Charities to donate $2 million to cre…

Anglo American (LON: AAL) is edging closer to launching a formal sale process for De Beers after reportedly receiving expressions of interest from several potential buyers, including two former chief executives of the diamond miner. De Beers, the world’s leading diamond producer by value, has been on the chopping block since May 2024, when Anglo announced plans to either sell the unit or launch an initial public offering (IPO). This decision came as part of a corporate overhaul triggered by Anglo’s successful defence against a £39 billion ($49 billion) takeover bid by Australian rival BHP (ASX: BHP). Former De Beers bosses Gareth Penny and Bruce Cleaver are both l…

Jarett Dunn, a former developer at the Solana-based memecoin platform Pump.fun, has pleaded guilty to fraud by abuse of position and transfer of criminal property. He admitted to stealing nearly $2 million in SOL from the project shortly after joining the team. Dunn is currently being held in a London prison after breaching bail conditions. Bail Violations Landed Him Back in Custody Although Dunn initially pleaded guilty in 2023, he later tried to withdraw that plea in court. That effort didn’t work. His legal team stepped away, and the case stalled for months. Things got worse when Dunn moved to Liverpool while still under bail restrictions. Authorities tracked him down…

Australia’s Fortescue (ASX: FMG) has agreed to settle its high-stakes lawsuit accusing former executives of stealing company data to build their green iron start-up Element Zero. The iron ore miner had claimed that former chief scientist Bart Kolodziejczyk and former technology development lead Bjorn Winther-Jensen used green iron technology they helped develop while at Fortescue to form Element Zero. Company lawyers argued the work was tied to Fortescue’s broader push for hydrogen-based solutions in its pursuit of what it called the green ore holy grail. Element Zero chief executive Michael Masterman, also a former Fortescue employee, was named in the case. …

Fortescue (ASX: FMG) is expanding the autonomous fleet at its Solomon iron ore operations in Western Australia with the introduction of non-line of sight (NLOS) excavators to further drive efficiency and productivity. For this fleet expansion, Epiroc’s RCT was tasked with the design, installation, and commissioning of two CAT 350 Excavators and four D10T Dozers with its teleremote control solution, AutoNav Tele, which allows the operator to control the machines from the comfort of an automation centre. Even though the operator is removed from the cab of the machine, they receive real-time data through a graphical interface and a touch display, which provides them …

Fortescue (ASX: FMG) founder and executive chairman Andrew Forrest said on Friday that the company was progressing critical minerals projects despite not understanding the “fuss” surrounding the strategic metals. Speaking at Fortescue’s annual general meeting in Perth, Forrest said the company remained committed to its critical minerals projects but questioned the hype following a deal signed by US President Donald Trump and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on October 20. “It was good. Knock yourselves out. I mean, I don’t see anything that rare about critical minerals,” Forrest told reporters following the meeting. “You’ve got declining strategic commod…

Exploration drilling at Fortuna Mining’s (TSX: FVI; NYSE: FSM) Séguéla open-pit mine in Côte d’Ivoire improves the odds of an underground operation at the Sunbird deposit, the company said. Hole SGRD2434 cut 16 metres grading 7.3 grams gold per tonne from 688 metres depth, while hole SGRD2444 intersected 11.9 metres of 8.3 grams gold from 448 metres downhole, Fortuna said Thursday in a statement. Other drill results highlight the strengthening of a second high-grade shoot extending at least 900 metres down plunge from the pit base. Fortuna is spending an estimated C$13.5 million this year exploring at Séguéla – the largest of its four operating mines – to expand t…

Fortuna Mining (TSX: FVI) (NYSE: FSM) is hunting mid-tier gold assets and pushing ahead with new projects to restore its 500,000-ounce annual output target after divesting mines in Burkina Faso and Mexico The Canadian precious metals miner sold its Yaramoko mine in Burkina Faso and the San Jose operation in Mexico this year, exiting short-life, high-cost assets but cutting production in the process. It has since moved to rebuild its pipeline through new partnerships, including a joint venture with DeSoto for exploration in Guinea and a larger stake in Awalé Resources, a West Africa-focused explorer operating in Ivory Coast, as rising gold prices spur dealmaking ac…

Fortuna Mining (NYSE: FSM; TSX: FVI) has boosted the mineral resource count for its Diamba Sud gold project in Senegal ahead of a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) later this year. The Diamba Sud project now contains 724,000 ounces of gold in indicated resources, a 53% increase on the previous estimate since year-end 2024. The inferred resource also rose by 93% to 285,000 gold ounces. The resource covers seven deposits — Area A, Area D, Karakara, Western Splay, Kassassoko, Southern Arc and Moungoundi — based on drilling data from a total of 1,178 diamond and reverse circulation holes completed since 2019. The update incorporates over 31,000 metres of drill…

Fortuna Mining (TSX: FVI; NYSE: FSM) says a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for the Diamba Sud gold project in Senegal shows the Canadian miner could recoup its investment in less than a year. Using a gold price of $2,750 per oz. and a discount rate of 5%, the study shows an after‑tax net present value of $563 million, an internal rate of return of 72% and a payback of about 0.8 years, Fortuna said Wednesday in a statement. Initial capital costs to develop Diamba Sud are pegged at $283.2 million. The PEA represents “a positive rerating catalyst that unlocks the viability over Fortuna’s organic growth opportunities and target to reach about 500,000” gold-equi…

Fortune Bay (TSXV: FOR) said an updated economic study for the company’s Goldfields project in Saskatchewan shows rising gold prices have resulted in a quadrupling of the past-producing mine’s expected value. The stock soared. At spot gold prices of $3,650 an oz., Goldfields has an after-tax net present value (NPV) of C$1.25 billion ($906 million), an after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of 74% and a payback of less than a year, Fortune Bay said Tuesday in a statement. The base case, which rests on gold averaging $2,600, would result in an NPV of C$610 million, an IRR of 44% and a payback of 1.7 years. A November 2022 preliminary economic assessment (PEA), whic…

Tech giants Forward Industries and Galaxy Digital are building substantial Solana reserves to drive strategic growth and network activity within the Solana ecosystem. Forward Industries has secured $1.65B, creating the largest-ever Solana corporate treasury. It’s clearly taken from Strategy’s Bitcoin playbook – holding crypto directly on the company’s balance sheet. Alternatively, one of the major crypto investment firms, Galaxy Digital, purchased $326M $SOL to grow $SOL holdings for Multicoin Capital’s institutional fund (SOL DAT). Galaxy Digital still has $1.3B in cash and stablecoins, which could be directed toward acquiring more $SOL, potentially affecting Solana’s …

Drilling by Founders Metals (TSX-V: FDR)(US-OTC: FDMIF) has returned results as high as 46 metres grading 3.59 grams gold per tonne at its Antino project in southeast Suriname. That result, from 174 metres depth in hole FR120 of the Main Froyo Shear target, demonstrated the continuity of high-grade domains at Antino, Founders said on Monday. Adjacent hole FR122 returned 24 metres at 2.03 grams gold from 26 metres depth. “Ongoing drilling testing continuity and growth of high-grade domains within Froyo, hit [F120’s strong results], and we are continuing to see success in our eastward steps toward Donut,” Founders President and CEO Colin Padget said in a release. “E…

In my previous review, I mentioned that the outcomes of the Bank of England meeting did not surprise me at all, but at the same time, four "doves" represent almost as many as the "hawks" currently on the committee. The market anticipated a more unanimous decision, and a larger number of "doves" suggests that the BoE's stance is less "neutral" than expected. Consequently, the market had every reason to further reduce demand for the pound sterling on Thursday. However, the market's demand for the pound was increasing. I want to remind you that the wave analysis for the GBP/USD instrument has become significantly complicated in recent weeks, which was unexpected for everyone…

2025 has been a bellwether year for precious metals and not just gold. As investors around the world turn to the safety of precious metals, demand for silver bars and coins has shot sharply higher.
