Although current loss realization levels are enough to confirm deep bear conditions, they have not reached the intensity required to establish a definitive bottom. Following a wave of selling pressure that pulled bitcoin (BTC) below $60,000 two weeks ago, analysts have highlighted on-chain data that signals possible seller exhaustion, which is further substantiated by a reprieve in macroeconomic conditions. According to analysts at crypto exchange Bitfinex, the market is witnessing a transition into late-stage capitulation rather than a broader distribution phase. This translates to constant selling pressure among previous buyers of BTC, like exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and treasury companies.…

Crypto yield has always carried a credibility problem. The same market that learned to demand proof after incentive-heavy protocols unwound still tends to compress risk into a single APY. That tension sits at the center of Solstice’s pitch: whether stablecoin-native, delta-neutral strategies can become usable yield infrastructure without recreating the same opacity, reflexive incentives, and contagion risks that damaged DeFi in prior cycles.Solstice, as framed in this interview, sits at the intersection of staking, stablecoins, and yield infrastructure. The project says it built its business before launching SLX, pointing to a live strategy, onchain tokenization, operating revenue, and more than…

A new framework from asset manager VanEck is drawing clear lines between Bitcoin miners that are genuinely transforming into artificial intelligence infrastructure providers and those that are still selling a story. All of it comes with a sobering price tag: a roughly $50 billion near-term funding gap standing between the sector’s pipeline ambitions and actual delivery. In a research note, VanEck investment analyst Griffin MacMaster and Head of Digital Assets Research Matthew Sigel laid out what they describe as the first structured valuation approach for the increasingly blurry category of companies that straddle both Bitcoin mining and AI data center…

In brief The U.S. government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its two most advanced AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, citing a national security concern over a potential jailbreak vulnerability. Anthropic complied but disputed the finding, arguing the vulnerability is simple and already replicable using other publicly available models like GPT-5.5. The company warned the directive sets a dangerous precedent that, if applied industry-wide, could halt all new frontier AI model deployments. The U.S. government issued an emergency export control directive on Friday ordering Anthropic to immediately suspend access to its two most powerful artificial intelligence models—Claude Fable…

The U.K.’s financial regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), proposed allowing certain retail investment funds to hold up to 10% of their assets in cryptocurrency exchange-traded notes (ETNs).The financial regulator made the suggestion for UCITS (“Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities”) schemes and some non-UCITS retail schemes (NURS) to invest in crypto ETNs in its latest quarterly consultation paper.UCITS and NURS are similar to mutual funds in the U.S. in that they are regulated, open-ended structures that pool money from retail investors into managed portfolios.”Our proposed 10% limit for UCITS and NURS would also mitigate the risk of significant…
