    Another Satoshi-Era Bitcoin Whale Is Moving Coins After 15 Years

    An unidentified Bitcoin user who mined some of the network’s earliest blocks is now sending their blockchain rewards to centralized crypto exchange Kraken, according to on-chain data. Analysts at Arkham Intelligence said that the O.G. Bitcoin whale—who now holds $77 million worth of BTC that was mined during the Bitcoin network's first couple months—has already moved 10 BTC ($630,000) to the cryptocurrency exchange across three separate transactions. Arkham said the miner “woke up” on-chain just...

    Will Bitcoin ETF Options Send the Asset to the Moon?

    There will soon be a regulated options market for U.S. Bitcoin ETFs. But what does that mean, and how will this impact the price of Bitcoin? On Friday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) greenlighted Nasdaq to list and trade options for the iShares Bitcoin Trust—BlackRock’s $22 billion Bitcoin ETF whose shares track the price of Bitcoin. According to analysts, introducing options will make Bitcoin a more functional investment asset across the board.  Options are derivative instru...

    Satoshi-Era Bitcoin Miner Moves Coins for First Time in 15 Years

    Some of the very first Bitcoins ever mined are seeing signs of life more than 15 years after entering circulation, on-chain data shows. Since early Friday, at least 5 separate Bitcoin block rewards moved to new addresses for the first time since being mined as part of a new Bitcoin block. A closer look at those transactions reveals several of those rewards were generated in late January 2009—the same month the Bitcoin network first went live. For example, one transaction at 02:30 ET on Friday ca...

In a letter to The Economist, Kennedy took issue with the publication’s characterization of the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining, writing that an energy system inclusive of miners is “far less carbon-inte...

    BlackRock Says Clients Are Buying Bitcoin to Hedge Against US Debt Crisis

    Is Bitcoin a “risk-on” or “risk-off” asset? Analysts at the world’s largest asset manager BlackRock say the leading digital currency qualifies as neither. In a PowerPoint document shared Wednesday, BlackRock said its clients largely view Bitcoin as insurance against a possible U.S. debt crisis, and that Bitcoin has “little fundamental exposure” to the macro variables that affect other asset classes. Some of its defining attributes, BlackRock analysts noted, are Bitcoin’s limited supply supply, g...

    Bitcoin's Scaling Boom: 5 Projects Upgrading Bitcoin Without Changing Its Code

    Over the past year, Bitcoin has evolved at an unprecedented pace. A so-called “Bitcoin Renaissance” has ushered in NFTs, token standards, staking, and dozens of new scaling solutions and “Layer 2s” built upon the oldest, most popular blockchain. In fact, while Bitcoin’s recent price action has been volatile, developers say the network’s biggest stories are unfolding under the hood—and that its most exciting times are likely just months away. Here’s a look at five projects that are redefining wha...

    The European Central Bank (ECB) dropped the interest rate for its deposit lending facility by another 25 basis points on Thursday, reaffirming its newly dovish monetary policy stance—and Bitcoin and major stock market indices are slightly up following the news. The central bank expects core inflation to rapidly decline over the next two years. That said, its latest projections for economic growth are now weaker than they were in June, and economic activity remains “subdued” due to weak private c...

    Another Solo Bitcoin Miner Wins Block, Nabs $180,000 Reward

    An unknown, standalone Bitcoin miner scored $180,000 on Tuesday, defeating overwhelming odds to mine one of Bitcoin’s latest blocks. According to mempool.space, block 860749 was mined by Solo CK—a unique mining pool that doesn’t split mining rewards between its participants. That means one miner won a full 3.169 BTC (worth about $181,000 as of writing) for their efforts, inclusive of Bitcoin’s full block subsidy and the block’s transaction fees.

In his latest piece, the famous crypto essayist and macro-analyst admitted that his previous prediction that Bitcoin’s bull market would “begin anew” in September was incorrect, but that his bearishness remains “temporary.” “I have changed my mind, but it doesn’t affect my positioning at all.

    Bitcoin’s developer ecosystem is the hottest it has been in years. Projects, tools, and proposals to unlock new decentralized applications for the OG crypto network are now part of the mainstream Bitcoin conversation. One proposal central to that conversation is BIP-347, or “OP_CAT”—though called BIP-420 by some proponents—a potential soft fork upgrade that proponents think could supercharge Bitcoin’s capabilities. At a bare-bones level, what OP_CAT does is allow users to join, or “concatenate,”...

    Native BTC Staking Is Coming to Bitcoin Layer-2 Networks, Babylon Says

    Staking Bitcoin is fast becoming a reality—a functionality once the sole privilege of proof-of-stake crypto networks. Thanks to Babylon, HODLers can already lock up their BTC, which will soon be used to secure and earn yield from multiple staking-based blockchains at a time. While this has enormous implications for the entire crypto economy, its consequences may be most strongly felt in an ecosystem that’s just getting started: Bitcoin layer-2 networks. “Bitcoin L2s [are] definitely a very impor...
