Bitcoin’s bear market struggle is killing crypto jobs but fueling a $10 billion Wall Street-backed M&A boom
Bitcoin’s prolonged decline is forcing cryptocurrency companies to cut staff, automate more work, and abandon the expansion plans that defined the last bull market. At the same time, it is also creating one of the industry’s busiest periods for takeovers.Crypto mergers and acquisitions reached $7.23 billion during the second quarter of 2026, up from $2.14 billion in the first three months of the year.The two quarters brought total capital deployed through deals to $9.37 billion. CryptoRank’s data framed the broader first-half surge as a 26x increase versus the same period last year, underscoring how sharply deal activity has accelerated even…
Binance withdrew its MiCA application in Greece after reported resistance and told users the absence of a formal decision before the transition deadline forced it to seek authorization elsewhere.Reports noted that talks with regulators in Ireland and Latvia had also encountered friction, though Binance maintains that Greece was its only formal application.ESMA has since directed unauthorized crypto-asset service providers to stop onboarding new EU clients and restrict existing services to exit and withdrawal activity.A crypto-asset service provider license under MiCA is a fitness test administered by a national regulator, who, upon approving the applicant, extends that approval to all 27…
Chainlink’s Project Pangea turns stablecoins toward a quieter but consequential job: helping banks settle foreign-exchange trades with less time between trade execution and final exchange of funds.The June 23 announcement from Chainlink describes a framework for T+0 international FX settlement designed around compliant fiat-referenced digital assets, including EUR and KRW stablecoins.T+0, or same-day settlement, means a transaction is completed, and ownership and payment are exchanged on the same day the trade is executed, rather than waiting one or more business days for final settlement.That makes the project a test of settlement risk. If a euro stablecoin and a Korean won…

Bitcoin’s $60K rebound just collapsed as $427M in long liquidations followed sticky inflation data
Bitcoin’s rebound above $60,000 just failed because the bundle of U.S. macro data released June 25 gave risk traders the opposite of clean relief: sticky inflation, firm demand, a stronger growth revision, fewer jobless claims, and resilient ex-transport orders.Bitcoin briefly flash-crashed in a liquidation-driven flush, falling from an intraday high near $61,844 to a low of about $58,189 before recovering part of the move, trading around $59,630. The rebound leaves BTC off the intraday lows as of press time, but the price remains below the pre-drop range.The move coincided with a heavily one-sided liquidation event. CoinGlass liquidation readouts showed about $482 million…
GoMining mines first Stratum V2 Bitcoin block with DMND pool. Stratum V2 enables miners to choose block transactions directly. New system shifts power from pools to miners in Bitcoin mining.

This move extended a decline that has erased more than 50% of its value since the record reached last October.The distress in Bitcoin cascaded swiftly across the broader digital asset ecosystem.

Bitplanet’s Antalpha mining deal tests whether Bitcoin treasuries can grow without constant buying
Asia Bitcoin company, Bitplanet, is trying to convert its Bitcoin treasury from a balance-sheet position into a source of mined BTC revenue.The South Korean company said in a June 24 release that it signed a strategic memorandum of understanding with Nasdaq-listed Antalpha and mining ecosystem partners.Under the MOU, Bitplanet plans to introduce KRW 15 billion in BTC mining equipment and begin full-scale mining operations this month.The change pushes Bitplanet beyond the familiar corporate treasury playbook of raising capital, buying BTC, and letting the balance sheet carry the exposure.A mining-based treasury is exposed to a different operating stack: hashrate, hosting contracts,…
President Donald Trump has spent his second term trying to close the door on a U.S. central bank digital currency. On Wednesday, he canceled a planned signing ceremony for a housing bill that would put a temporary ban on a Fed-issued digital dollar into federal law.The decision placed Trump in the unusual position of blocking, at least temporarily, a measure that would codify his own opposition to a digital dollar.The president has repeatedly described a Federal Reserve-issued central bank digital currency, or CBDC, as a threat to financial privacy and prohibited federal agencies last year from taking steps to establish,…
