    Bitcoin Has Likely Bottomed as Strategy Shows Resilience Amid Plunge: Bernstein

    Strategy showed its doubters that the Bitcoin-buying firm can weather the depths of crypto’s bear market and still extend its lead as the asset’s largest corporate holder, analysts at investment bank Bernstein wrote in a note on Tuesday. Although some onlookers feared that Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) could pare its Bitcoin holdings to survive the digital asset’s latest plunge from all-time highs, the analysts wrote that the company’s balance sheet appears to be on solid footing as Bitcoin...

    The New York Stock Exchange said Tuesday that it’s collaborating with Securitize, the BlackRock-backed tokenization specialist, on a program aimed at accelerating Wall Street’s shift toward trading infrastructure underpinned by digital assets. As part of the arrangement, the world's largest stock exchange by market capitalization will work with Securitize on developing standards for tokens that represent real-world assets like stocks and bonds, as well as exchange-traded funds, according to a j...

    When Strategy held its annual conference, Strategy World, in Las Vegas last month, attendees heard plenty about how the digital asset could reshape corporate balance sheets. Yet the spotlight may not have shone as brightly on Bitcoin this year. Although co-founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor still evangelized the asset that has transformed his company, as with any public appearance, this year’s focus centered on STRC, the firm’s variable-rate preferred share. That’s according to TD Co...

    What Happens to Bitcoin if Bank of America's 'Three Conditions' for Fed Rate Hikes Hit?

    U.S. President Donald Trump is putting intense pressure on the Federal Reserve to lower its benchmark interest rate. But as his war in Iran presses toward its fourth week, Bank of America economists raised the prospect of a policy move on Friday that’s in the opposite direction. Although the group still views cuts as more likely than hikes, it outlined conditions under which the U.S. central bank would likely determine that tighter monetary policy is appropriate, amid surging energy costs and n...

    Fake FBI Crypto Tokens Are Being Used to Threaten Tron Users, Authorities Warn

    The FBI warned on Thursday of a new threat emerging on Tron’s network, with users receiving tokens that aren’t actually coming from federal law enforcement. The tokens carry a message visible through a blockchain explorer that demands recipients provide personal information in accordance with anti-money laundering rules using an online form.

    Bitcoin, Ethereum Waver as Fed Holds Interest Rates Steady

    The Federal Reserve held its benchmark interest rate steady on Wednesday, maintaining a cautious stance as rising energy costs threaten to complicate its ability to balance persistent price pressures with a cooling job market in the U.S. The federal funds rate remained unchanged at a target range 3.50% to 3.75%. The decision, which was widely expected, prolonged a pause that began at the conclusion of the Fed’s policy meeting in January, following a series of interest rate cuts late last year....
