Daily Crypto News

Today on Daily Crypto News, Matt examines the cybersecurity scare being called Black October, including reports of critical PHP vulnerabilities, attempted server exploits, software supply-chain compromises, and growing concerns about AI-assisted cyberattacks. He explains how server-side vulnerabilities could potentially allow attackers to compromise legitimate websites, steal credentials, alter cryptocurrency deposit addresses, or trick users into authorizing malicious wallet transactions. The episode also examines reported exploitation activity across thousands of websites, the distinction between attempted attacks and confirmed breaches, and why organizations must respond quickly to critical security disclosures. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs reportedly recorded approximately $640 million in outflows, although Bitcoin...

Bitcoin falls back toward $81,650 despite continued institutional ETF demand, as technology stocks weaken and Brent crude approaches $112 per barrel. Matt examines Chamath Palihapitiya's increasingly bearish outlook for Bitcoin following his appearance on the Moonshots podcast. Chamath argues that Bitcoin may be approaching saturation among existing buyers, that wealthy investors face serious custody and physical security risks, and that Bitcoin developers may struggle to coordinate necessary changes against future AI and quantum-computing threats. Matt challenges the idea that institutional adoption has peaked while acknowledging that Bitcoin needs additional sources of long-term demand. He also explores the possibility of a major...

Bitcoin rebounds above $83,000 as JPMorgan reportedly releases its first ten-year Bitcoin return forecast, projecting approximately 10% annualized gains compared with 5.5% for gold. Matt examines what those projections could mean for long-term investors, including the possibility of using carefully planned Bitcoin withdrawals to supplement income. He also discusses BlackRock's recent $665 million ETF inflow, institutional adoption, and speculation about a potential Tesla-SpaceX merger that could combine more than 30,000 Bitcoin. Additional stories include the latest GENIUS Act implementation milestone, researchers recovering eight poorly generated private keys in under a second, and Solana's Alpenglow upgrade targeting transaction finality of just 150 milliseconds....

Bitcoin remains near $81,500 as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs reportedly record approximately $500 million in net inflows, led by a substantial contribution from BlackRock's IBIT. Matt explains why the $80,000 region remains critical support and what Bitcoin needs to accomplish before a meaningful breakout toward $90,000 becomes possible. Institutional developments dominate today's episode, including BlackRock's proposed downside-buffered Bitcoin investment product, JPMorgan's expansion of JPM Coin onto Ethereum, Strive's additional $100 million Bitcoin purchase, Strategy's continued accumulation, and Sky AI's decision to liquidate its Solana treasury in favor of a $201 million stock buyback.The episode also examines implementation disputes surrounding the...

Bitcoin rebounds above $82,000 after briefly testing the $79,000 range, but Matt explains why the market remains stuck in the same trading channel until it can break above $87,000. Today's episode examines allegations involving Bitcoin Magazine's Ordinals-related business interests and potential editorial conflicts, Deutsche Bank's upcoming Bitcoin and Ethereum custody services, and MSCI index rules that could create selling pressure for Bitcoin treasury companies such as Strategy and Metaplanet. Matt also explores the growing quantum-computing debate, including concerns about millions of Bitcoin held in wallets with exposed public keys and the difficult question of what should happen to Satoshi Nakamoto's dormant coins...

Bitcoin is testing the critical $80,000 region as inflation accelerates to approximately 3.7%, energy prices remain elevated, and investors reconsider the Federal Reserve's next interest rate decision. Matt examines the combination of inflation, rising borrowing costs, weakness in AI-related technology stocks, and renewed Bitcoin ETF outflows. With Bitcoin trading near $80,970, he explains why the broader $79K–$82K range remains important and identifies $74,000 as a potential downside target if support fails. Institutional developments include additional corporate Bitcoin accumulation, Treasury tokenization, Ripple's RLUSD expansion, Standard Chartered's $2 trillion stablecoin projection, and EverNorth's institutional XRP strategy. The episode also covers reports that HEX founder Richard He...

Bitcoin continues holding around $83,000 as markets prepare for an inflation report expected to show consumer prices rising approximately 3.6% year over year. Brent crude remains near $106, the 10-year Treasury yield is around 5.2%, and traders are pricing approximately a 78% probability that the Federal Reserve holds rates steady in October. Bitcoin ETFs have also returned to modest inflows following substantial withdrawals last week. Standard Chartered is expanding direct Bitcoin and Ethereum trading for wealthy clients in the UAE, France is considering a 31.4% capital gains tax affecting certain cryptocurrency transactions, and Coinbase is urging Bitcoin developers to begin preparing for post-quantum cryptography. Matt...

Bitcoin dropped toward $81,000 overnight as approximately $750 million in leveraged cryptocurrency positions were liquidated, before rebounding toward $83,000. Matt explains why Bitcoin remains trapped in the same trading range, with $87K serving as the key resistance level before a potential move toward $90K. Strategy purchased another 250 Bitcoin for approximately $21.5 million, Morgan Stanley reportedly plans to support tokenized equities in early 2027, and hedge funds are increasingly exploring cryptocurrency arbitrage strategies involving spot markets, futures, funding rates, and cross-exchange price differences. Matt also questions how retail investors can benefit directly from institutional tokenization when financial institutions may use private blockchain infrastructure rather than...

Bitcoin rebounded after falling toward $80,350 last week, but Craig Cobb believes the cryptocurrency market still needs to demonstrate stronger technical momentum before attractive trading opportunities return. Bitcoin's weekly uptrend remains intact, while a bullish three-month candle continues to suggest the possibility that the bear-market low has already been established. Craig explains why breaking above that candle's high would be an important confirmation signal and examines Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, BNB, TRON, Zcash, Hyperliquid, and Monero. Total cryptocurrency market capitalization has also successfully tested approximately $2.72 trillion as support, although the broader market still needs to break above recent highs.<...

Bitcoin is holding around $83,000 after testing $80K last week, but the bigger story today is the growing debate over whether artificial intelligence could eventually threaten the cryptography securing Bitcoin, Ethereum and much of the modern internet. Following a discussion on the All-In Podcast, Matt examines OpenAI's release of hundreds of AI-generated mathematical research manuscripts and why advances in mathematical discovery are raising questions among cryptographers. We explain how elliptic-curve cryptography protects private keys, why discovering a new mathematical shortcut could be more consequential than simply building faster computers, and the three possible outcomes ranging from continued security to a...

Bitcoin bounced back above $80,000 after a sharp selloff triggered approximately $1.2 billion in crypto liquidations, including more than $1 billion in long positions. The rebound came amid reports that President Trump would delay potential military action against Iran until after the midterm elections, while oil prices remain above $100 and Bitcoin ETF investors have withdrawn roughly three-quarters of a billion dollars over two sessions. Matt explains why he considers the move a bounce rather than a recovery, with $80K becoming the immediate support zone and $83K to $84K the first resistance area Bitcoin needs to reclaim. He also discusses the possibility of...

Bitcoin has fallen toward $82,000 as Treasury yields remain elevated, Brent crude trades above $100 and the dollar strengthens toward an 18-month high. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $487 million in net outflows Wednesday, while the Federal Reserve's September meeting minutes showed policymakers remain concerned about inflation and expect additional tightening may be necessary this year. Standard Chartered is expanding institutional crypto custody into Singapore, Samsung is bringing USDC transfers directly into Samsung Wallet for eligible U.S. Galaxy users, and Grayscale's Zcash ETF highlights the continued expansion of regulated crypto investment products beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum....

Bitcoin dropped from roughly $86K to $87K back toward $83K in a matter of minutes as Brent crude climbed above $100, Treasury yields moved higher, the dollar strengthened and leveraged long positions were liquidated. Crypto liquidations reached roughly $550 million over 24 hours, while Bitcoin ETF flows were nearly flat. Bitcoin is once again testing the lower end of the range we've been watching, with roughly $82K to $83K acting as support, while the Federal Reserve's September meeting minutes arrive today amid continuing uncertainty over whether policymakers will raise rates again this year.Robinhood has added $25 million in Bitcoin...

Bitcoin is back around $86,000 after another rejection near $87K, while ETF flows turned negative and Treasury yields remain elevated. Institutional crypto infrastructure continues expanding, with Solana launching an open-source delivery-versus-payment system for financial institutions, Ondo bringing tokenized exposure to pre-IPO private companies onchain, and Spiko raising $90 million as its tokenized cash-fund business grows. Corporate treasuries are still accumulating as well, with Strategy adding Bitcoin, Strive making its largest Bitcoin purchase since June and BitMine pushing its Ethereum holdings above 6 million ETH.The CFTC is beginning work on a federal framework for leveraged and margined retail crypto...

Bitcoin is pushing toward $87,000 as ETF inflows turn positive again and markets sharply reduce expectations for another immediate Fed rate hike following a weaker September jobs report. Craig Cobb says Bitcoin is approaching a critical technical level around $87,374, the high of the recently closed three-month candle. A sustained break above that level would reinforce the improving weekly trend and could begin establishing a cleaner daily uptrend, while Ethereum still needs to clear roughly $2,800 and much of the broader market remains in consolidation.Kraken's parent company is building 24/7 institutional dollar settlement, while a proposed tokenized-securities venue involving...

Bitcoin is back above $86,000 as oil slips below $100 and Treasury yields pull back slightly, but the real test is whether $85,000 can become a new floor rather than another temporary pump. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded roughly $92.9 million in net outflows, while Lloyds Banking Group and Visa completed a live $750,000 cross-border settlement pilot using USDC. Evernorth shareholders also approved the company's business combination ahead of its planned Nasdaq debut, while Robinhood says the SEC's new tokenized-stock exemption may already impose limits that are too restrictive for the scale of its business.The SEC proposed a new crypto custody...

Bitcoin remains around $84,000 even as the 10-year Treasury yield pushes above 5.3%, its highest level since 2002. August PCE inflation came in cooler than expected, while Bitcoin ETFs recorded roughly $139 million in net outflows. Citi nevertheless raised its 12-month Bitcoin target from $82,000 to $113,000 and its Ethereum target from $2,240 to $3,028. The Treasury's expanded long-duration bond buyback program is also feeding a larger debate about debt management, liquidity and the growing role stablecoin issuers could play as buyers of short-term government debt.European regulators are scrutinizing Binance's operations under MiCA, while the Swiss National Bank is warning that large-scale stablecoin...

Bitcoin remains stuck around $83,700 as Treasury yields stay elevated and markets wait for August PCE inflation data. Spot Bitcoin ETFs nevertheless recorded another $66.2 million in net inflows, extending their positive streak to nine trading sessions. Robinhood is rolling out AI agents capable of automatically executing trades along with crypto perpetual futures offering up to 10X leverage, Coinbase Clearing is now a registered CFTC derivatives clearing organization, Blockchain.com is reportedly pursuing an IPO at a $4 billion to $6 billion valuation, and Bitwise has launched the first U.S. spot NEAR ETF.The Bitget hack is also turning...

Bitcoin is holding around $84,000 despite Brent crude trading around $106 to $107, Treasury yields above 5% across much of the curve and significant market expectations for another Fed rate hike. Strategy added another 1,665 Bitcoin for roughly $143 million while repurchasing about $152 million of STRC preferred shares, and Tom Lee's BitMine has now accumulated more than 6 million ETH. A Senate investigation also found heavy USDT usage among hundreds of sanctioned Iran-linked wallets, while Tether says it has helped freeze roughly $550 million in Iran-linked USDT this year.The Bitget hack is also raising a larger philosophical question after attackers attempted to move...

Bitcoin is trading around $83,300 as leverage continues to come out of the market, leaving the $82,000 to $87,000 range as the key structure to watch. Solana ETFs, meanwhile, recorded their strongest week yet with roughly $188 million in net inflows, led by approximately $128 million into Bitwise's fund. Franklin Templeton is also bringing tokenized money-market assets into Bybit's collateral system, allowing eligible users to access trading credit while the underlying assets remain in regulated custody and continue earning yield.The bigger discussion is the SEC's new staff guidance on crypto token buybacks. For functional networks, the Division of Corporation Finance...
