The post Bitcoin Mining Pools in 2026: Smaller Miners Squeezed appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The Bitcoin mining industry in 2026 looks very different from what it did just a few years ago. Post-halving pressure, rising network difficulty, and margin compression have reshaped the competitive landscape — and nowhere is that more visible than in the mining pool market. According to data from miningpoolstats.stream (as of June 23, 2026), just four pools now account for over 70% of Bitcoin’s total hashrate. That level of concentration raises legitimate questions about network decentralization — but it also has a more immediate, practical consequence: the big pools are increasingly optimizing for institutional clients, leaving independent and mid-size miners underserved. The Top Players: Who Controls the Hashrate Here’s where things stand today: Pool Network Share Hashrate (EH/s) Payout Model Target Audience Foundry Digital ~31% 2.62 FPPS Institutional / Corporate AntPool ~18% FPPS 4%
The post Lyn Alden: No Cavalry Is Coming for Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The macro analyst and Ego Death Capital partner told the Coin Stories podcast that Bitcoin sentiment is the weakest she has ever seen — but that the asset’s next leg higher will have to be earned, not printed. Lyn Alden built her reputation by refusing to tell Bitcoiners what they want to hear, and her latest appearance on Natalie Brunell’s Coin Stories held to form. With Bitcoin trading near $62,000 — roughly half its October 2025 high and fresh off a 21-month low — the founder of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy and general partner at Bitcoin-only venture firm Ego Death Capital delivered a message with no comfort in it: this is the lowest sentiment she has personally seen in the asset, weaker even than the stretch that followed 2022’s FTX collapse, and there is no obvious rescue on the way. “The asset just has to survive on its own merits,” Alden said.

// Price Reading time: 3 min Published: Jul 08, 2026 at 20:21 Updated: Jul 08, 2026 at 20:30 Bitcoin’s (BTC) price has moved back above the key $60,000 support level. BTC Price Long-Term Prediction: Ranging
Buyers pushed the price as high as $64,657 but were halted. Sellers then tried to drive the price down towards its vital support, but buyers held firm, keeping it confined to a range above $61,000. In other words, Bitcoin has maintained its sideways trend, rebounding above the 21-day SMA support but staying below the 50-day SMA barrier.
Today, the BTC price is slipping as sellers attempt to break the 21-day SMA support. On the downside, if sellers succeed, Bitcoin will fall towards its crucial support. If the current support holds, Bitcoin will continue to trade above $60,000. The largest cryptocurrency currently shows little clear potential for further gains. Bitcoin is at $62,062.

The post Bitcoin Leads $327M Crypto Liquidation Cascade in 24 Hours appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Crypto News Crypto derivatives markets flushed roughly $326.58 million in leveraged positions over the past 24 hours, with Bitcoin (BTC) at the center of the deleveraging. Long positions absorbed most of the damage, accounting for $200.55 million, or 62% of the total, while short positions made up the remaining $125.5 million, or 38%. Our reading of the derivatives open-interest data points to a broad, fast unwind rather than a single directional blowout. As of the latest snapshot, Bitcoin trades near $62,000 and Ethereum (ETH) near $1,734, both softening as forced selling drained margin across major venues and pushed traders toward the exits. Venue-level data shows the liquidations were heavily concentrated. Over the most recent four-hour window, Binance processed the largest share at roughly $8.23 million, or 42.54% of the total, with short positions making up 57.84% of that figur
The post Bitcoin Slips To $62,000, Paring Rebound As CryptoQuant Sees Room Higher appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin traded near $62,000 today, surrendering part of a rebound that had carried it to $64,000 from last week’s bear-market low of $57,700. The pullback holds the price above the $60,000 level that CryptoQuant treats as support, though it trims a recovery of some 11% off the bottom. The dip came as CryptoQuant’s Weekly Crypto Report, published today and shared with Bitcoin Magazine, argued the backdrop skews toward further gains. Head of Research Julio Moreno framed the bounce as a bear-market recovery rather than a trend reversal, with one central caution: the firm’s Bull Score Index, an aggregate of on-chain, market, and valuation conditions on a 0-to-100 scale, sits at 20, inside the bearish zone at or below 40 and short of the 60 reading tied to a sustainable bull market. The report’s bullish case rests on seasonality. Across the past decade, July has ranked amon
