Crypto hack counts just set a record. The warning in TRM Labs’ latest data is where the money is actually being lost.In its H1 2026 crypto hack review, TRM Labs said attackers carried out 207 separate hacks in the first half of the year, the most the firm has recorded in any six-month period.Yet total losses fell to $972 million, less than half the $2.3 billion stolen during the first half of 2025.That split changes the security story. More protocols, tokens, and decentralized applications are being hit, but the losses that still define the year are concentrated in operational systems:…

The next leg of crypto adoption may already be taking shape in estate planning offices instead of on trading floors or in congressional hearing rooms. Analysts have spent a decade modeling adoption through ETF approvals, halving cycles, interest rates, and regulatory milestones. But one of the most powerful forces reshaping demand for digital assets is demographic, slow, and already underway.Over the next two decades, Cerulli Associates projects that $124 trillion in US household wealth will change hands, the largest transfer of assets in recorded history. Roughly $105 trillion will flow directly to heirs, with another $18 trillion earmarked for charity.The…

Binance’s reported move to lead a new Mesh funding round puts a strategic price on the payment routes stablecoins need to leave exchanges, wallets, and trading venues.A July 2 Axios Pro report said Binance is set to lead a Mesh round valuing the crypto payments company at up to $2 billion. Mesh announced in January that it had closed a $75 million Series C at a $1 billion valuation, so the reported terms would mark a rapid step-up for a company building payment infrastructure rather than another token issuer.The signal sits in where the reported capital would land. An exchange…

In 2017, a handful of developers with a whitepaper and a GitHub repository could launch a token or a crypto startup in a matter of days. Capital requirements were low, licensing was either non-existent or seen as an afterthought, and a compelling idea was usually enough to draw thousands of retail buyers into an ICO before a product even existed.In 2026, though, many customer-facing crypto companies entering regulated markets need lawyers, compliance staff, banking partners, an anti-money-laundering program, and enough capital to satisfy licensing and operating requirements before they can serve customers at scale.The crypto industry was built by anonymous…

Bitcoin climbed back above $62,000 once a weak US jobs report cooled bets on a near-term Federal Reserve rate hike, and the spot chart reads as a relief rally. The options desks trading Bitcoin’s futures are pricing something more guarded.The US Bureau of Labor Statistics put June payroll growth at just 57,000, well below the 110,000 economists polled had penciled in.Labor-force participation slid to 61.5%, the government cut April and May payrolls by a combined 74,000, and unemployment held steady at 4.2%.The dollar was on track for its biggest weekly drop since early April, while CME FedWatch data showed roughly…

Bitcoin keeps trading when Wall Street stops. Independence Day turns that design choice into a market demonstration.Official exchange calendars list all NYSE markets as closed Friday, July 3, while Nasdaq lists U.S. equity and options markets as closed for the Independence Day observance. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is available to trade freely on hundreds (if not thousands) of exchanges, wallets, and apps 24/7/365.The setup makes the “freedom money” moniker fit quite nicely. Bitcoin does not need a bank branch, a U.S. exchange session, or an ETF trading day to keep settling globally. But the same independence leaves price discovery running while some…

OpenUSD’s first proof point is a formal commitment. The project launched around a sweeping corporate roster, but the roster itself is now the part Open Standard has to explain.A July 3 Chosun Biz report said several Korean companies named in connection with the OUSD alliance had neither held official consultations with the issuer nor expressed a willingness to review participation.The report named Samsung Electronics, Shinhan Financial Group, Dunamu, Kbank, and other Korean firms in describing the confusion over how their names appeared in the context of the consortium.At the same time, Open Standard’s official site still presents Open USD as…

Americans are on pace to lose more money on legal gambling this year than at any point in the country’s history.A new analysis by economics writer Joseph Politano projects that the total will exceed a quarter trillion dollars in 2026. Losses have climbed 67% since the start of COVID-19 and another 8% over the past year alone, outpacing any growth recorded between 2000 and 2020.That figure counts only sportsbooks and casinos, and it excludes the money moving through prediction markets, crypto trading, and stock options, each of which now channels billions of dollars a year into activity that, economically speaking, looks…

Riot Platforms’ reported 500 BTC movement to NYDIG Custody gives the market a live signal for how public miners may use coin treasuries as AI and data-center costs rise.PANews reported the July 3 transfer, citing on-chain monitoring data, and valued the movement at roughly $30.7 million. The available record supports a custody movement, but it does not show an executed sale or sale proceeds.That distinction makes the signal useful. Riot has already disclosed Bitcoin sales, restricted collateral, negative operating cash flow, and data-center expansion plans, so another large custody movement now lands as a capital-allocation marker rather than routine wallet…

Crypto was founded on a simple premise: people should be able to send, hold, and manage money without going through a bank. Fifteen years later, some of the industry’s most significant developments involve banks doing that, on blockchains, for their own institutional clients.JPMorgan now settles payments in its own deposit token on a public blockchain. BlackRock’s tokenized Treasury fund holds roughly $2.4 billion in assets, with two more products of the same kind already filed with the SEC. Visa and Mastercard let card issuers settle their daily obligations in stablecoins rather than wire transfers.The industry that set out to disintermediate…
