West Virginia lawmakers introduced the Inflation Protection Act to permit the investment of ten percent of state reserves into precious metals and Bitcoin. Digital assets must maintain a market capitalisation exceeding 750 billion dollars to qualify which effectively limits the state to Bitcoin alone.

A bill introduced this week in West Virginia would allow the state to put up to 10% of its treasury reserves into precious metals, certain digital assets and approved stablecoins, under a proposal framed…
Group-IB published its report on Jan. 15 and said the method could make disruption harder for defenders. The malware reads on-chain data, so victims do not pay gas fees. Researchers said Polygon is not vulnerable, but the tactic could spread. Ransomware groups usually rely on command-and-control servers to manage communications after breaking into a system. But security researchers now say a low-profile strain is using blockchain infrastructure in a way that could be harder to block. In a report published on Jan. 15, cybersecurity firm Group-IB said a ransomware operation known as DeadLock is abusing Polygon (POL) smart contracts to…

Speculation flared after two Bitcoin blocks appeared untagged, but NiceHash later confirmed the blocks were mined during internal testing. Claims of a solo Bitcoin mining jackpot faded after NiceHash said block metadata display issues caused the confusion. The brief “Bitcoin lottery” buzz showed how rare solo mining wins continue to spark speculation amid rising network hashrate. Speculation briefly surged this week after two Bitcoin blocks appeared without visible mining pool identifiers, prompting claims that a solo miner had secured a rare full block reward. The blocks, numbered 932129 and 932167, initially showed no clear attribution on mempool explorers, reigniting the…
Institutional investment managers increased their allocations to US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) during the fourth quarter of 2025, despite the asset suffering a sharp price correction that shaved nearly a quarter off its market value.The divergence between rising share counts and falling asset values presents a complex picture of institutional behavior during a period of extreme volatility.According to CryptoSlate’s data, Bitcoin’s price began the last three months of last year on a strong footing, reaching a new all-time high of more than $126,000 in October.However, that rally proved unsustainable and gave way to a tumultuous period sparked by a massive…

SEC Chair Paul Atkins told Fox Business in December that he expects US financial markets to move on-chain “in a couple of years.” The statement landed somewhere between prophecy and policy directive, especially coming from the architect of “Project Crypto,” the Commission’s formal initiative to enable tokenized market infrastructure.However, what does “on-chain” mean when applied to $67.7 trillion in public equities, $30.3 trillion in Treasuries, and $12.6 trillion in daily repo exposures? And which parts can realistically move first?The answer requires precision. “On-chain” isn’t a single thing: it is a four-layer stack, and most of what Atkins described sits in…
