Bitcoin temporarily fell below $70,000, erasing gains built over the past 15 months. Over $840 million in leveraged long positions were liquidated during the sell-off. Traders now watch $65,000 support and $72,000 resistance for direction. Bitcoin has suffered one of its sharpest corrections in recent years, wiping out roughly 15 months of bull market gains in a swift and brutal sell-off. The world’s largest cryptocurrency temporarily plunged below the psychologically important $70,000 level, shocking traders who had grown accustomed to sustained upside momentum. The move did not happen in isolation, as it was accompanied by heavy liquidations, weakening sentiment, and…

On Feb. 4, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) activated the highly anticipated Permissioned Domains with 91% validator approval.At first glance, the approval appears contradictory, as it involves a public blockchain hosting “permissioned” zones.However, a deeper look at the mechanics shows how the upgrade operates. Permissioned Domains introduces an on-ledger access-control object that enables other network features to reference and restrict participation to digital wallets that hold specific on-chain credentials.The fundamental point of this architectural shift is not to convert the XRPL into a private network.Rather, the objective is to enable highly regulated financial activity to exist on a public ledger, with…
CME Group is exploring a proprietary “CME Coin” designed to run on a decentralised network for market participants. The token would likely be used for margin and settlement, offering an institutional alternative to existing collateral forms. This initiative is separate from CME’s tokenised cash project with Google and aligns with their Q2 launch of 24/7 crypto trading. CME Group CEO Terry Duffy says the exchange is exploring creating its own cryptocurrency, a potential “CME coin” that could run on a decentralised network and be used by other market participants. Duffy revealed the idea on CME’s latest earnings call, when Morgan…
BitMine chairman Tom Lee defended $6 billion in unrealised losses as a deliberate strategy to track Ethereum’s long-term cycle rather than timing the market. The firm holds 4.24 million ETH and recently purchased 40,000 more tokens despite Ethereum sitting 57% below its all-time high. BitMine remains committed to its staking and accumulation model, even as Lee warns that market deleveraging could persist into early 2026. BitMine Immersion chairman Tom Lee said the company’s large unrealised losses reflect the structure of its Ethereum (ETH) treasury strategy, not a mistake in execution. Responding to criticism this week, Lee said BitMine is designed…
House lawmakers confronted Scott Bessent over Treasury oversight and conflicts linked to a Trump-backed crypto firm. Democrats called for a pause on WLFI’s bank charter following revelations of a major foreign stake. Bessent rejected claims the Treasury can support Bitcoin markets or deploy taxpayer funds. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent faced heated questioning during a House Financial Services Committee hearing focused on the Treasury Department’s oversight responsibilities and its role within the Financial Stability Oversight Council. Democratic lawmakers concentrated their scrutiny on World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralised finance venture linked to President Donald Trump, and recent disclosures concerning foreign…
Bitcoin’s current pullback is weighed against past bear markets that saw deeper declines over longer periods. On-chain data suggests further downside pressure could emerge if Bitcoin weakens further in US dollar terms. A recurring gold–Bitcoin pattern, however, points to a potential stabilisation window in early 2026. Source: Tapping Into Crypto In the latest episode of Tapping Into Crypto, the hosts examine whether Bitcoin is already deep into a crypto winter or heading into a more severe phase. Drawing on historical market cycles, on-chain behaviour and broader macro conditions, the discussion outlines near-term downside risks alongside signals that could point to…
A public session of the UK’s House of Lords Wednesday heard criticism of stablecoins including that they’re virtually useless outside of on- and off- ramping between fiat and crypto. Financial Times economics writer, Chris Giles, argued that stablecoins are unlikely to have much impact on the broader UK financial system and suggested they’re heavily used in crime, calling them “new suitcases of cash.” US law Professor Arthur E. Wilmarth Jr. called the passage of the GENIUS Act in the US a “terrible, disastrous,” mistake but was hopeful the UK’s stablecoin regulatory strategy would be more thoughtful. A public session of…
Bitcoin’s 40% crash has revived bear market fears, with price action mirroring the brutal 2018 and 2022 cycles, though K33 Research dismisses the likelihood of another 80% wipeout. $74,000 is the “make-or-break” support level; a decisive break below it could accelerate a slide toward the $58,000 range (the 200-week moving average). Bottom signals are emerging as spot volume hit a “90th-percentile” peak of $8 billion on February 2, alongside a massive $1.8 billion flush of long positions in derivatives. Is Bitcoin’s (BTC) current drop the start of another brutal crypto winter like in 2018 and 2022, or are we experiencing…
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has signaled a fundamental shift in the blockchain’s roadmap that declares the era of the “branded shard” effectively over.On Feb. 3, Buterin argued that the industry’s previous “rollup-centric” vision no longer makes sense, citing faster scaling on the main Ethereum layer and the sluggish pace of decentralization among major rollups.This philosophical correction lands squarely on the Coinbase-backed Base network.Over the past years, the Ethereum layer-2 solution has grown into one of the largest consumer-facing rollups in the crypto ecosystem, with more than $11 billion in total value secured (TVS).However, Buterin’s new roadmap position calls into question…
