Good news for the American worker came at the worst possible moment for Bitcoin. Initial jobless claims fell by 4,000 to 226,000 for the week ending June 13. Layoffs are in the historically low range they’ve held for most of the post-pandemic era, and the unemployment rate has remained at 4.3% for a third straight month.These numbers would look unambiguously healthy in almost any other setting. But Bitcoin didn’t seem to agree and slid below $64,000, down almost 3% on the day, after touching an intraday high of $66,315 the previous afternoon.BTC spent the spring positioned as an asset waiting…

The Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate to 1% on June 16, the highest level the country has seen since September 1995 and the furthest point yet in a normalization campaign that has slowly dismantled three decades of near-free money.Going into the decision, the track record pointed one way: every one of Governor Kazuo Ueda’s rate increases since March 2024 had been followed by a Bitcoin drawdown of 18% to 33%, and the August 2024 surprise hike sent the price from roughly $64,000 to $49,000 inside 48 hours, erasing around $600 billion in crypto market value.This time the…

Texas spent years courting AI companies, cloud providers, and Bitcoin miners with cheap electricity, abundant land, and a sales tax exemption that’s grown into one of the state’s costliest incentive programs.But now, Governor Greg Abbott has told state regulators to flip the arrangement, directing them to require data centers to fund the grid they depend on, so households would “stop subsidizing one of the fastest-growing industries in the world.”That rather sudden change in sentiment could become the template for how the rest of America regulates the AI buildout.The state spent the better part of the last decade making itself the…

Artificial intelligence is commoditizing news and routine research across the industry, and it’s pushing crypto media companies to rebuild themselves as data platforms, analytics providers, and institutional infrastructure. The firms racing to assemble AI-ready databases are positioning to become the industry’s reference layer, the source that investors, regulators, and algorithms rely on to understand digital assets.On June 12, Blockworks acquired Messari, folding two of the largest data and research operations in crypto into a single platform covering more than 40,000 digital assets.The Wall Street Journal put the price above $10 million, a steep markdown from the roughly $300 million valuation…

Bitcoin’s emerging digital-credit trade broke below its promise of calm this week.This week, Strategy’s STRC preferred shares fell as low as $82.50 before rebounding, while Strive’s SATA slid from around par into the low $90s and also recovered. Both products had been sold into the market as income instruments built around Bitcoin treasury companies, with double-digit dividends and an intended pull toward $100.The break jolted a market that has grown to roughly $10 billion in less than a year. It also gave investors their first look at how these Bitcoin-linked yield products behave when a quiet trade meets margin pressure.A…
