In the last month, Tezos (XTZ) has lost significant ground to Bitcoin (BTC), and the cryptocurrency has been on a stark downtrend since last December, losing a lot of its earlier gains. According to data from Messari Pro, Tezos fell 34% against Bitcoin in the last 30 days and the cryptocurrency is now down more than 27% for the month against the US dollar.

Overall, Tezos is one of the worst-performing major cryptocurrencies in the last 30 days. One XTZ is now worth $1.30.

This comes just months after Tezos saw an impressive rally. The price of Tezos rose from $0.85 to $1.83 between November and December, last year. This was largely led by a flurry of crypto exchanges adding staking support for the proof-of-stake coin.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, is one of the best performers of late, and is currently trading at $8,101—up almost 11% in the last 30 days.

However, its progress has been masked by Bitcoin SV (BSV)—a rival coin backed by self-proclaimed Bitcoin founder Craig Wright. BSV surged by 71% in the last month against USD, while gaining 52% against Bitcoin. It now rests at the eighth largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

AI Won’t Tell You How to Build a Bomb—Unless You Say It’s a 'b0mB'

Remember when we thought AI security was all about sophisticated cyber-defenses and complex neural architectures? Well, Anthropic's latest research shows how today’s advanced AI hacking techniques can be executed by a child in kindergarten. Anthropic—which likes to rattle AI doorknobs to find vulnerabilities to later be able to counter them—found a hole it calls a “Best-of-N (BoN)” jailbreak. It works by creating variations of forbidden queries that technically mean the same thing, but are expre...

Elon Musk and Dogecoin: How the Billionaire Became the 'Dogefather'

As Dogecoin makes a comeback off the back of Bitcoin’s surge, some may be pondering: Where did the asset come from? What’s it for? And what’s Tesla CEO Elon Musk got to do with it? The original meme coin’s boom largely has the world’s richest man to thank. Musk’s obsession with shitposting helped boost the coin to a top 10 cryptocurrency. It’s been a wacky ride over the past few years, culminating in Musk's appointment to co-lead a government agency called D.O.G.E.—yes, really. But we'll explai...
