    Bitcoin hits all-time high realized price as holders spread the wealth

    The "realized price" of Bitcoin just hit an all-time high, coinciding with its circulating supply being bought up by smaller account holders now more than ever before.  Per data from crypto analytics firm Glassnode, Bitcoin’s realized price has never been greater, today hitting a new milestone of $6,000 per coin.

    Per Reuters, travel management firm CWT, which pulls in annual revenues of $1.5 billion, paid anonymous hackers 414 bitcoin this week in response to a ransomware attack that led to the theft of piles of company documents and left tens of thousands of company devices offline.  The attackers used a ransomware technology known as Ragnar to encrypt company files, rendering them inaccessible to the company’s employees, according to documents seen by Reuters. CWT paid the ransom on July 28 to decrypt...

    Tampa Teen and two others arrested in Twitter "BitCon"

    An early morning raid staged by a joint task force of federal law enforcement officers nabbed a Tampa, Florida teenager who they claim pulled off the biggest hack in Twitter’s history. Two other teens—one from Naples, Florida, and the other from Bognor Regis, a seaside resort on the southern coast of England—were subsequently arrested. Investigators said that KYC records obtained from Binance and Coindesk, which showed stolen Bitcoin moving into customer accounts, led them to the suspects. Flori...

    US GDP takes historic hit in Q2 as Bitcoin, crypto markets rise

    The gross domestic product of the United States just had its worst quarter-to-quarter drop in history. But the economic slump hasn’t had an adverse effect on Bitcoin and its related crypto market, which has grown considerably during the same time period. According to the US Department of Commerce’s Q2 report, US GDP fell 32.9% in Q2, the worst quarter-to-quarter change in the country’s history. The second worst plunge came in 1921, when GDP fell some 28%. For comparison, the most drastic hit to...

  • Bitcoin futures volume soars to $40 billion, highest since March crash

    Bitcoin’s recent price surge has been accompanied by explosive volume in its derivatives markets.  According to data from Skew analytics, aggregate open interest across Bitcoin futures markets (or the total value of outstanding trades) is broaching $5 billion, the most since before Bitcoin’s price tumbled during the Black Thursday mid-March crash. Since open interest reflects the total value of all active derivatives contracts in a given market, high open interest generally denotes healthy inve...

    Only 13 crypto exchanges provide ‘trusted’ trading volume: report

    The team at crypto analytics firm Coin Metrics has architected a new framework for evaluating how reliable exchange volume data really is. And based on the firm's methodology, real crypto trading volumes are close to one tenth of those reported by most exchanges. The Coin Metrics Trusted Volume Framework is a new way to more accurately measure trading volumes across crypto markets. Many exchanges, particularly those which list illiquid altcoins, have a reputation of falsifying volumes in a bid t...

    Who’s really using DeFi? New report shines a light

    The meteoric rise of new Ethereum platforms such as Compound and Uniswap have put decentralized finance use cases (or DeFi) front and center in the crypto landscape in 2020. A new report by Codefi, a subsidiary of the Ethereum software development firm ConsenSys, shines a light on how many unique users are leveraging these and other DeFi services. Even as the value locked in DeFi applications has nearly tripled from April of this year, the report concludes, most of the DeFi activity isn't coming...

    ‘Historic’ Twitter hack good for Bitcoin? It’s complicated

    Roughly two dozen high-profile, verified Twitter accounts were compromised yesterday after hackers socially engineered their way into one of Twitter’s admin accounts. The hacked accounts tweeted out a Bitcoin scam, exposing the world of crypto to fresh eyes—for better or worse. From the attack, the hackers filched roughly $120,000 worth of Bitcoin using a scamming tactic the cryptocurrency community has long been familiar with: the “double money” trick wherein an attacker asks victims for Bitcoi...

    How a Bitcoin dev hub is building a future for free software

    It took Christopher Allen, one of the forefathers of the modern cryptographic protocols, longer than you might think to discover Bitcoin. A co-author of the OpenSSL/TLS protocol for encrypting and sending data over the web, first developed in the late 1990s, the crypto pioneer didn’t become involved in Bitcoin until 2014. Having been familiar with the concept of digital cash (and even trying to crack the problem himself way-back-when), Allen made Bitcoin the focus of his work soon after discover...

    A panel of judges in for the US fifth circuit court has ruled that Bitcoin account balances are not protected by the 4th Amendment. In an ongoing case against one Richard Gratkowski, the Louisiana court issued a ruling on July 1 that reaffirmed the view that Bitcoin account balances should be treated like bank account balances in criminal proceedings. Gratkowski, who last year was convicted on child pornography charges, argued that law enforcement’s seizure of his transaction records on crypto...

    Retail investors are clamoring for Bitcoin, and if demand stays steady, this could cause a demand shock after the next two Bitcoin halvings. Why? The daily mined supply of Bitcoin will drop below the daily buyer demand, according to research from cryptocurrency derivatives exchange ZUBR.

The most-used stablecoin in the cryptocurrency market now has $10 billion worth of its USDT coins circulating through crypto’s various markets, according to data from Messari.

A fresh blog post from Sergio Demain Lerner, co-founder of Bitcoin startup RSK, suggests that “Patoshi,” a pseudonym for a 2009-2010 Bitcoin miner assumed to be Satoshi, may have kept his mining equipment off for the first 5 minutes of every “block interval” (or, the time between one block in Bitcoin’s blockchai...

This could mean Bitcoin’s markets could be in for some volatility starting tomorrow, as traders decide to either sell,...
