Bitcoin News

Bitcoin (BTC) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency, originally described in a 2008 paper by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Launched in January 2009, it was the world’s first cryptocurrency, and remains the most popular, with the highest market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin was built on several key innovations. Firstly, Nakamoto guaranteed that Bitcoin transactions were immutable, by recording all transactions on a distributed ledger known as a blockchain. Secondly, he ensured Bitcoin’s scarcity by capping the total number of Bitcoin in existence at 21 million. Finally, the community was incentivized to verify transactions by receiving rewards in the form of “mined” Bitcoin for checking the accuracy of the blockchain.

    The Grisliest Bitcoin and Crypto Wrench Attacks That Grabbed Headlines in 2025

    Crypto’s growing mainstream presence has not been all good news for investors.  Alongside Bitcoin's price rise, a growing list of wrench attacks—that is, physical attacks meant to coerce a victim to hand over access to their crypto holdings—have taken place over the course of 2025.  According to a publicly available database of wrench attacks from Jameson Lopp, CTO of security firm Casa, at least 65 wrench attacks have been documented this year, with the expectation that many others go publicly...

    13 WTF Moments of the Year: 2025 Crypto Edition

    The story of cryptocurrency’s rise to mainstream popularity is one of the most bizarre in history. Created by an anonymous, shadowy figure named Satoshi Nakamoto—who’s now among the richest people in the world—the technology is now a darling of finance bros, altruistic lefties, white supremacists, Balkan political dissidents, West African entrepreneurs, and Redditors convinced that Satoshi was in fact an alien. So it's hardly surprising that 2025 began with U.S. President Donald Trump launching...

    Crypto Crystal Ball 2026: Will Ethereum Finally Start Going Parabolic?

    It’s never easy being an Ethereum maxi. True, ETH did hit a new all-time high this year; but relative to the Ethereum network’s numerous recent technical and economic triumphs, such price action still seems rather insufficient to many. Ethereum has always been an anomaly, sitting somewhere between Bitcoin’s golden store-of-value legitimacy and every other crypto token in existence. It’s certainly in a league of its own compared to most other tokens—but hasn’t had its Bitcoin moment quite yet. At...

    All of Trump’s Pardons of Prominent Crypto Figures—So Far

    Donald Trump used his pardon power to reshape the federal approach to crypto enforcement in 2025, clearing several of the most high-profile defendants the industry has had to date. The moves signaled a political shift in Washington and raised questions about how the United States would police digital assets during Trump’s second term. “Politics drove this case,” Trump said on Truth Social while announcing his first pardon, calling the government’s past actions “ridiculous.” The statement capture...

    The Year in Crypto ETFs 2025: Bitcoin, Ethereum Thrive as XRP and More Join the Party

    This year, exchange-traded funds opened several doors to crypto on Wall Street, as the SEC forged a fresh approach to the products. Although asset managers had previously fought tooth and nail to offer products tracking Bitcoin and Ethereum’s spot price, many foresaw opportunities in 2025, as the regulatory environment started to shift with President Donald Trump’s return to power in January. As of Dec. 15, spot Bitcoin ETFs had generated $57.7 billion in net inflows since their historic debut i...

    Emerge's 2025 Tech Trend of The Year: Quantum Computing Stopped Being Background Noise

    When scientists at Caltech flicked on their new neutral-atom quantum array in September, the quantum machine broke a threshold many scientists thought was years away. For the first time, researchers successfully trapped 6,100 atomic qubits in a single system and maintained coherence in a way that pushed quantum hardware past the “toy demo” stage. What happened in that lab meant large-scale, error-corrected quantum hardware is no longer a distant aspiration but a credible possibility. And for dig...

    Bitcoin Whales Woke Up in 2025 and Moved Billions in BTC—Here's Why

    This was the year the Bitcoin whales woke up. As the price of the leading cryptocurrency soared to new heights, longtime holders started making moves to the tune of billions of dollars. Selling from O.G. "HODLers" began after the leading cryptocurrency finally hit the mythical $100,000 mark for the first time in December 2024. Whales then briefly slowed their sales before, but started shifting coins again in the summer and in October, according to blockchain data, helping contribute to declining...

    This year opened with a surge of validation for crypto-linked equities.  As Bitcoin again broke above $100,000 in January, stocks linked to digital assets—either as treasuries or via direct crypto businesses and mining firms—reaped the rewards. Hut 8 Corp. (HUT) and Riot Platforms Inc. (RIOT) notched double-digit rallies, leading the charge. Bullish momentum followed Bitcoin's recovery from a late 2024 correction, as the digital asset reclaimed its previous all-time high and set a new peak near...

In November 2023, Binance settled with FinCEN and OFAC for sanctions violations and violations of the Bank Secrecy Act, agreeing to pay a total penalty of $4.368 billion.

    Bitcoin Hits $90,000—But Rally May Not Last Through Holidays

    Bitcoin rallied to an eight-day high of $90,353 on Monday, but on-chain data casts doubt on the sustainability of this uptick. Since then, the top crypto has pulled back and is now trading at just under $90,000, up 2.2% on the day, per CoinGecko data. Data indicate the move was driven by speculative futures trading rather than genuine investor demand. Since December 18, open interest and the cumulative volume delta (CVD) for perpetual futures have trended upwards, while the spot CVD has decline...

According to Hayes, the sharp rise in Bitcoin’s price will stem from the Fed’s “Reserve Management Purchases” or RMP, a new operating policy shared by the Fed at its most recent FOMC meeting that he likened to quantitative easing.  “RMP is a new acronym that entered my Love Language dictionary on December 10th, the day of the most recent Fed me...
