Elon Musk has become the first person in modern history to amass a personal net worth exceeding $1 trillion, crossing the historic threshold on Friday following the record-breaking public market debut of SpaceX.According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the technology executive’s total fortune now stands at $1.11 trillion.To put the unprecedented scale of this capital into perspective, Musk’s net worth is now above that of the total market capitalization of the global cryptocurrency sector when excluding Bitcoin. When including the world’s largest digital asset, his wealth accounts for exactly half the value of the entire crypto industry.The financial milestone immediately…
The banks are finally buying the vaults. In May, BNY, the world’s largest custodian with $59.4 trillion in assets under custody and administration, announced it would offer Bitcoin and Ethereum custody in Abu Dhabi. Weeks later, Standard Chartered confirmed it will fully acquire Zodia Custody, the digital asset custodian it incubated in 2020, with the deal expected to close by the end of August.Once a back-office concern for crypto-native firms, custody has now become a strategic priority for the world’s biggest banks.However, the institutions best known for managing risk are buying into Bitcoin infrastructure just as the industry admits it…
Bitcoin reclaimed $64,000 on June 12 and touched an intraday high of $64,301 in the same session that spot ETF flows finally flipped positive after four straight sessions of institutional selling, and oil prices fell as peace deal momentum built between Washington and Tehran.On June 13, Bitcoin fights to stay close to the $64,000 level, with a setup that looks better than it did 24 hours ago, and every piece is fragile enough to unwind before Monday’s open.The cushion above $64,000 is thin enough that a hold into Monday separates a genuine repair phase from a relief bounce that exhausts…
SpaceX priced its IPO at $135 per share on June 11, raised $75 billion in the largest public offering in history, and opened on Nasdaq at $150 Friday morning.By the time the stock reached $164, retail investors had gained “SpaceX exposure” through actual Nasdaq shares, Backpack Securities’ redeemable token on Solana, xStocks tracker certificates on Kraken and Bybit, Binance Wallet’s subscription campaign, and Hyperliquid’s perpetual futures.The convergence on a single name reflects a structural ambiguity in how crypto exchanges and tokenization platforms label equity-linked instruments, and the most anticipated IPO in years put that ambiguity under the brightest possible light.Four…
The following is a guest post and opinion from Vincent Maliepaard, VP of Marketing at Sentora.On January 26, 2026, Kraken launched DeFi Earn. The announcement was straightforward: users could deposit stablecoins and receive up to 8% APY, directly within the exchange interface they already used for trading. No seed phrases. No gas management. No bridging. No new application to download.Within months, the product had crossed 40,000 unique depositors.For context, this is a crypto-native audience: people who already understand blockchain and have made deliberate choices to hold digital assets. They are not the mass market. But the speed of adoption signals…
The US government has issued an emergency export control directive forcing artificial intelligence pioneer Anthropic to abruptly suspend global access to its frontier models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5.The sweeping mandate, which cites national security authorities, applies to all foreign nationals both inside and outside the United States, including Anthropic’s own international personnel.The enforcement action marks the first time Washington has effectively recalled a widely deployed, commercial frontier AI model.While Anthropic has complied by disabling the models for its entire global user base, the unprecedented intervention has triggered an immediate ideological and capital shift across the technology landscape.Within hours of…
Bitcoin was designed as a hedge against inflation, but every hot inflation report in the past year has knocked its price lower, and Thursday’s data was no different. The Producer Price Index rose 1.1% in May, lifting the annual increase to 6.5%, the fastest pace since November 2022 and well above the 0.7% monthly gain economists had expected.Energy did most of the damage, as final demand goods climbed 2.8%, the largest monthly increase since the series began in December 2009, with energy prices up 10.7% and gasoline surging 23.4% as the Iran conflict keeps oil supply at risk. Even after…
The Bitcoin network is poised to execute one of the largest downward adjustments to its mining difficulty in its 17-year history this weekend, a stark reflection of the severe margin compression forcing operators to take hardware offline.The automated recalibration, scheduled to occur on June 13 at block height 953,568, is projected to slash the network’s difficulty by approximately 10.3%. This shift will drop the target metric from 138.96 trillion to roughly 124.25 trillion.This would also be the second-largest drop this year, behind an 11.16% decline in February.Additionally, the decline will mark the 11th-largest negative difficulty adjustment since the inception of…
DraftKings told investors on June 9 that its prediction markets business is scaling fast, and the market liked what it saw. The company’s Form 8-K reported that May 2026 annualized consumer volume in its Predictions offering rose 24% month over month to $1.3 billion, while annualized total volume traded climbed 34% to $3.1 billion. Shares of DraftKings jumped roughly 10% in early trading on the news.Those figures are enormous for a product line that’s barely six months old, since DraftKings only launched Predictions in December 2025. Seen against the broader category, though, they show a company that’s arriving late to…
Wall Street got to trade Bitcoin around the clock just in time to watch the market fall apart. CME Group launched 24/7 trading for its crypto futures and options on May 29, and over the first weekend, more than 7,200 contracts changed hands, worth roughly $50 million in notional value.Within days, Bitcoin had slid below $70,000 for the first time in two months, and the market had to absorb one of its sharpest deleveraging waves of the year, with almost $10 billion in long-futures liquidations over a single week.Could CME’s always-on market become the volatility equalizer Bitcoin has needed for…
