The post Ethereum news: Robinhood chain hits $568M in trading frenzy, benefitting Arbitrum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Digital broker Robinhood’s new chain is off to a flying start, and the benefits are trickling to Ethereum-based network Arbitrum. The native token of Arbitrum (ARB) jumped 19% over the past 24 hours, making it the best-performing asset in the top 100 cryptocurrency, according to CoinDesk data. Bitcoin BTC$63,272.24 edged 1.5% higher to trade above $63,000, while ether (ETH) was up 0.5% in an otherwise muted day. The gains came as Robinhood Chain, built on top of Arbitrum’s technology stack and rolled out to the broader public a week ago, processed over $568 million in daily trading volume on Wednesday and logged over $350 million so far on Thursday, according to blockchain data from Entropy Advisors. Much of that activity was driven by a burst of memecoin trading, while stablecoin balances on the network also climbed quickly above $260 million within its first

The post Debate Grows Over Strategy Using Bitcoin Sales to Fund STRC Buybacks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Strategy hiked STRC’s dividend to 12% on June 29 while the stock traded near $87. Strategy authorized a $1 billion buyback with STRC as the initial priority target. Peter Schiff said STRC’s sub-$87 price signals Wall Street doubts Bitcoin’s growth pace. STRC, Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, traded in the mid-to-high $80s this week, with some sessions dipping under $85. The stock has a 52-week range of roughly $71 to $100, and the gap between its market price and its stated par value has become one of the more debated topics on X in early July. A New Framework, an Old Discount Strategy unveiled a “Digital Credit Capital Framework” on June 29. The plan raised STRC’s annualized dividend to 12%, moved payouts to a semi-monthly schedule, and lifted the company’s USD Reserve to about $2.55 billion. That figure covers roughly 17.

The post Bitcoin (BTC) Price Prediction: $65K Remains Key Resistance as 4-Year Cycle Model Signals Make-or-Break Moment appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Bitcoin price today remains around $62,600-$62,900, according to TradingView data, reflecting a market that has stabilized following a sharp decline but has yet to establish a decisive trend. While short-term momentum has improved, several analysts argue that BTC still faces significant resistance overhead, with broader cycle models suggesting the coming weeks could prove pivotal. Bitcoin Price Holds Key Support While $65K Caps Upside Market analyst Daan Crypto Trades noted that Bitcoin has entered a period of consolidation after what he described as a “risk-off flush,” with price action confined between $61,300 and $64,700. BTC is consolidating between key levels near $62.9K, with a daily close above $64.7K signaling a potential relief rally, while a close below $61.3K could trigger renewed downside pressure.

Strategy raised the dividend on its flagship preferred stock to 12% in late June, but the security is still changing hands well below the $100 price the company says it wants investors to see.

The post Buy STRC and make 28%? Traders say no thanks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. STRC by Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is now offering investors more than 28% upside potential if it returns to par and pays its dividends over the next year. But investors keep selling it anyway. Over the last week, STRC has declined 2% and is down 11% in 30 days. These sales in the face of Strategy’s generous offer are votes of diminishing confidence in management, including founder Michael Saylor. As of today, STRC was paying a 12% annualized dividend at full par value of $100 yet was on sale for under $86 per share. If that stock returns to Strategy’s intended $99-100 trading range and pays its dividends, investors would earn a total return of at least 15% on their stock price appreciation plus a stream of semi-monthly dividends. Even better, those dividends have beneficial tax treatment as return of capital, meaning that 12% is even higher than 12% for many investors on a tax-adjusted ba

The post CHART: Value of Tesla’s BTC holdings have fallen by two-thirds appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tesla became one of the early firms to embrace BTC, adding it to its balance sheet in 2021; however, it all but abandoned this initiative, and the total value of its holdings has fallen by two-thirds, despite BTC appreciating by more than 30%. During this same period Elon Musk, the founder and leader of Tesla, has gone from a frequent cryptocurrency promoter to someone who rarely mentions or endorses it. This depression in value has occurred despite the fact that Musk had unprecedented access to the federal government early in Donald Trump’s second administration through the so-called “DOGE” initiative. This access also coincided with a period when the administration was rapidly trying to shift its regulatory stance to support Trump’s vision of himself as a supporter of the crypto industry, which has embraced him.
