Nvidia printed a monster quarter, with $68.1 billion in revenue and its Data Center business alone delivering $62.3 billion. The company is expected to have roughly $78 billion in revenue next quarter.The crypto angle is mechanical, not mystical: Bitcoin has been behaving like a leveraged expression of tech risk appetite, so when AI “risk-on” sentiment returns, BTC often catches the same bid.

Industry groups warned the Australian government that the AUD risks losing global relevance without a clear legal framework for blockchain-based settlement. Coinbase Australia recommended allowing AUD stablecoins to pay interest to compete with USD options and increase demand for Australian government bonds.

Australia’s stablecoin policy is being shaped now, with industry groups warning that decisions over the next 12 months could determine whether the Australian dollar is meaningfully used in future tokenised payments markets. The…

Large XRP balances previously excluded from DeFi can now be deployed through a simplified wallet-native process. Flare infrastructure abstracts cross-chain complexity while preserving XRPL-based authorisation. Existing FXRP growth suggests holders are beginning to experiment with yield strategies. More than 2 billion XRP tokens, valued at about US$3 billion (AU$4.2 billion), have remained outside decentralised finance despite representing roughly 3.5% of the circulating supply. Much of this liquidity sits in Xaman wallets and has historically been excluded from DeFi due to technical hurdles such as bridging, managing gas tokens and setting up additional wallets. Flare and Xaman have now launched an…

Crypto sleuth ZachXBT has uncovered insider trading by employees of DeFi platform Axiom, which had allegedly gone undetected by the company since early 2025. ZachXBT alleges the employees abused a lack of access controls on internal Axiom systems to identify individual users’ and track users wallets, leveraging that info for profit.

Crypto sleuth ZachXBT has released the results of his latest in-depth investigation, exposing insider trading by employees at the DeFi platform…
Ethereum’s latest long-term planning document has given investors a new way to assess whether the digital asset can eventually reach $10,000 by the end of this decade.The newly published “Strawmap,” introduced by Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake, reads less like a conventional roadmap than a preemptive response plan.It sketches a path for Ethereum base-layer upgrades through the end of the decade, with seven forks by 2029 and five broad targets, including a faster Layer 1, much higher throughput, post-quantum security, privacy at the base layer, and a scaling architecture that keeps Layer 1 and Layer 2 moving together.In essence, Ethereum…

It is backing the payment controls, identity checks, and risk infrastructure that could help determine whether autonomous software agents can transact in a way that businesses and regulated institutions are…
