BitMine’s $112M Ethereum Purchase and the Truth About Price Targets

BitMine has just added another 33,504 ETH to its treasury, pushing its holdings to 3.86 million ETH – roughly 3.2% of Ethereum’s circulating supply. Chairman Tom Lee argues that ETH has already found a durable bottom and is entering its own supercycle, with targets of 7,000 USD in early 2026. This article unpacks what such large-scale accumulation really means for the market, why price forecasts should be treated as narratives rather than roadmaps, and why disciplined long-term strategies still matter more than any headline prediction.

Ethereum BPO-1, Fed Liquidity Shift And A New Phase For Institutional Crypto

Ethereum quietly increases blob capacity with BPO-1, the Fed delivers another rate cut and Treasury bill purchases, while institutional treasuries keep adding Bitcoin and Ethereum. At the same time, legal and security headlines around Pi Network and a memecoin promotion remind the market that this maturing cycle still carries significant structural risks.

After the 0.25% Cut: What Powell Really Told Us About the Next Fed Regime

The Fed just delivered its third 0.25% rate cut, but the press conference made one thing clear: policy is now in a finely balanced transition zone, not in a straightforward easing cycle. A split FOMC, cautious language on inflation and jobs, technical bond buybacks and Powell’s own uncertain future all point to a regime where the path of rates will be driven by data and politics as much as by models.

RMJDT: How Malaysia’s Royal-Backed Stablecoin Could Redefine Ringgit in the Digital Era

RMJDT, a ringgit-backed stablecoin launched by Johor’s Crown Prince on Malaysia’s national blockchain infrastructure, is more than a local experiment. It is a test case for how a sovereign currency can move natively on-chain while remaining anchored to traditional reserves and regulatory oversight.

A Hawkish Rate Cut: What the Fed’s Divided 0.25% Move Really Signals for the Economy and Markets

The Federal Reserve has delivered its third 0.25% rate cut, but with a split vote, slower projected easing and a fresh bond-buying program focused on short-term Treasuries. This is not a classic pivot to easy money, but a cautious recalibration under the weight of 2.8% inflation and a divided FOMC.

China’s Consumer Prices Are Rising While Factory Prices Fall: What the CPI–PPI Split Really Means

China’s consumer inflation has finally moved back into positive territory, rising 0.7% year-on-year – the strongest pace in almost two years – while producer prices are still falling by 2.2%. This unusual combination tells a nuanced story: households are slowly spending more, but factories remain under heavy pressure from weak pricing power, intense competition and trade frictions.

SpaceX’s Planned Mega-IPO: Rockets, Satellites and a Quiet but Real Crypto Footprint

SpaceX is preparing for a potential 2026 IPO that could value the company around $1.5 trillion, setting it up to become the largest listing in history. Beneath the headline valuation is a more subtle story: equity investors would not only be buying exposure to rockets and satellites, but also to a company that already holds thousands of Bitcoin on its balance sheet and has experimented with crypto-based payments.

The U.S. Labor Market Is Cooling, Not Crashing: How to Read the Latest JOLTS Data

Job openings in the U.S. have drifted down from their post-pandemic extremes, quits are falling and layoffs are ticking higher. The labor market is clearly losing heat, but the latest JOLTS report and high-frequency job-posting data still point to a slowdown rather than a collapse. This piece unpacks what the numbers really say about growth, policy and risk assets.

Big Bank CEOs, the CLARITY Act and Bitcoin at $90k: Why the Next Senate Hearing Matters

The chief executives of Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo are heading to the U.S. Senate on 11 December to discuss the CLARITY Act and the future of the crypto market.

When Crypto Becomes Infrastructure: U.S. Bank Charters and CFTC Collateral Rules Mark a New Phase

In a single quarter, U.S. regulators have sent two clear signals: crypto firms can pursue full bank charters, and Bitcoin, Ether and USDC can be treated as institutional-grade collateral in regulated derivatives markets. Rather than chasing speculative headlines, these moves are about plumbing—who runs the payment rails, who holds reserves, and which assets are allowed to back risk in the core of the financial system.

Over 4 Million BTC in Global Treasuries: How Bitcoin Is Quietly Rewiring Market Structure

More than 4 million Bitcoin are now held in global treasuries across ETFs, public companies, governments, DeFi protocols and custodians. This concentration signals a transition from retail-driven cycles to longer-horizon capital—but it also shows why BTC still trades like a risk asset rather than a fully fledged digital reserve.

Bitcoin, Gold and the US–China Financial Strategy Contest

Gold still anchors national reserves, but Bitcoin is emerging as the first truly global, always-on liquidity network. When central banks accumulate gold and US markets capture Bitcoin flows via ETFs, they are not playing the same game – they are building two different layers of a new financial architecture.

Japan’s 20-Year Yield Near 3%: The End of “Free Money” and the Next Macro Test for Crypto

Japan’s 20-year government bond yield has surged to around 2.9%, the highest level since the late 1990s. That move is more than a local curiosity: it signals the end of Japan’s ultra-low-rate era, threatens to unwind decades of yen-funded carry trades, and could inject new volatility into everything from US Treasuries to Bitcoin.

Two Roads to Regulation: Coinbase’s India Comeback and Binance’s Abu Dhabi Bet

In the same week, Coinbase quietly reopened its app to new users in India with crypto-to-crypto trading only, while Binance secured a fully fledged licence stack in Abu Dhabi under FSRA oversight. Two very different regulatory strategies point to one shared reality: the next phase of crypto growth will be defined as much by policy architecture as by technology.

Kevin O’Leary, the CLARITY Act and the Flight to Quality in Crypto

Kevin O’Leary argues that most of the long-term value in crypto will concentrate in Bitcoin and Ethereum once the U.S. brings regulatory clarity through the CLARITY Act and related bills. We unpack what that legislation actually does, why institutions care so much about it, and whether focusing only on BTC and ETH really captures the bulk of crypto’s upside.

From Perp DEXs to Prediction Markets: Is BNB Chain Quietly Setting Up the Next Big Cycle?

After the perpetual DEX boom led by names like Aster on BNB Chain, attention is shifting to prediction markets. With platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket now valued at multi-billion-dollar levels, and Binance’s own ecosystem experimenting through Trust Wallet and Myriad, 2026 could see BNB Chain become a major hub for event-driven markets—if builders and users navigate regulation and risk with care.
