The post Will Noah Doe’s Satoshi BTC claim ‘disrupt entire industries’? Defendants say… appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. After fourteen years, Satoshi-era Bitcoin is once again at the center of a lawsuit. On the 6th of July, a second amicus brief has been filed to oppose “Noah Doe’s” attempt to assert ownership of Satoshi’s coins as “abandoned property.” The first filing happened back in May 2026, when “Salomon Brothers” was claiming the legal ownership of Satoshi’s coins.  That said, the three pseudonymous plaintiffs—Noah Doe, ABC Company, and XYZ Company—are making attempts to acquire legal ownership of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin wallets that they did not create and could not access.  Source: Galaxy Research Why does Noah Doe claim these wallets were abandoned?

The post Has Bitcoin Bottomed This Cycle? Analysts Say ‘Not Yet’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin is trading in a market that’s getting harder to define. Hovering around $64,000 at the time of writing, Bitcoin is down by almost 50% from its cycle peak. That’s a much shallower draw down than previous cycles, but the bull run this time around did not reach the same heights.

Since then, the trend has been inexorably downward, but analysts are split on what that decline signifies. According to Standard Chartered and other bullish institutional desks, Bitcoin may have already reached its cycle bottom last month, with structural demand from ETFs and treasury companies, and improving long-term capital flows reducing the likelihood of a deeper draw down. Other analysts take a more ca

The post Bitcoin, XRP draw Japanese firms as weak yen drives treasury diversification appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Japanese companies are turning to bitcoin and XRP as a weak yen pushes them to diversify their corporate treasuries, according to SBI VC Trade, as the crypto exchange’s registered accounts passed 2 million. The crypto arm of financial group Tokyo-based SBI Holdings said use of its corporate service, SBIVC for Prime, has grown as the weak yen drives firms to spread reserves beyond cash, with added demand from companies that hand out bitcoin or XRP through shareholder-perk programs. It reported the account milestone on Tuesday, roughly double the 1 million it counted in 2025. The 2 million figure combines its VCTRADE and BITPOINT services and follows SBI VC Trade’s April 2026 merger with sister firm BitPoint Japan. The company plans to fully integrate the two brands around the end of December, which it said should cut costs and unify service levels. Source: https://w
