📰 TOP NEWS
Institutions now hold over 10% of the entire Bitcoin supply, and their daily buying demand is outstripping new Bitcoin issuance by a factor of 10x.
“Driven by ETFs, corporate treasuries, and trusts, this explosive institutional interest has significantly tightened Bitcoin's available supply and historically aligns with sharp price spikes, signaling a bullish structural shift in the market.”
Under the newly enacted GENIUS Act, JPMorgan is exploring offering loans collateralized by crypto, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, marking a strategic shift in traditional banking.
"This move transforms crypto from speculative assets into usable financial tools, enabling clients to access liquidity without selling positions. It shows JPMorgan embracing regulated crypto services.”
DogeOS has proposed a protocol upgrade that would enable Dogecoin to natively verify zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), unlocking support for zk-rollups, DeFi, gaming, and EVM-compatible applications while preserving network simplicity.
“This marks a pivotal transition for Dogecoin from a meme-based payment chain to a scalable, interoperable platform. This shift could significantly boost its ecosystem utility if the soft-fork proposal gains consensus; execution limits ensure upgrades don’t compromise speed or compatibility.”
Solana Labs, the Solana Foundation, and Jito Labs have been named in an amended U.S. class-action lawsuit under the RICO Act, accused of facilitating a $1.5–$5.5 billion unlicensed “slot machine”-style fraud via the Pump.fun memecoin platform.
“This lawsuit marks a pivotal escalation in legal scrutiny: infrastructure providers traditionally seen as neutral are now facing claims of active participation in illicit activity, potentially setting a precedent for holding blockchain ecosystems legally accountable for the behavior enabled by their platforms.”
