The post Bitcoin price shows resilience above $60,000 amid renewed US-Iran hostilities appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin price held above $62,000 after renewed fighting between the United States and Iran slowed traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and sent oil prices higher, reviving inflation concerns across global markets. Data from CryptoSlate shows that the largest digital asset traded near $63,000 on Thursday, holding above the $60,000 level that traders have watched since last month’s selloff. The move came even as renewed US strikes on Iranian targets and retaliatory attacks by Tehran raised the risk of a broader disruption to energy flows from the Persian Gulf. Brent crude settled 5.2% higher Wednesday at $78.02 a barrel, its highest close since June 19, after briefly topping $80 during the session. US crude also rose, while shares were mixed and bond markets reflected renewed concern that higher energy costs could keep inflation elevated. For Bitcoin, the oil move a
The post Ethereum UTXO Payment Proposal Targets 99.8% Storage Reduction appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Ethereum News Ethereum (ETH) is debating a technical proposal that could reshape how the network settles payments. Researcher Toni Wahrstätter has floated adding native UTXO-style payments — unspent transaction output accounting, the same model Bitcoin uses — to the Ethereum base layer. The design would retain only a minimal spent marker in the live network state while pushing most payment data into historical blockchain records, cutting permanent storage requirements by as much as 99.8%. For a chain long wrestling with state bloat, the efficiency case is substantial. The proposal keeps the roadmap conversation — from privacy work like the Aztec Network to storage design — firmly in traders’ view. The idea drew an immediate rebuke from Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, who accused Ethereum of borrowing from Cardano’s Extended UTXO (EUTXO) model without acknowledgment. EUTXO ext

The post Bitcoin (BTC) Enters a Critical Zone: Will Buyers Fuel a Breakout or Surrender $60K? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin price is holding near $61K. The downtrend is taking over the macro trend. Bitcoin is holding onto its bullish divergence despite a recent minor market correction, signalling that the broader upward trend is likely to continue. While there is a simultaneous potential for a bearish divergence to emerge, which forms part of a market reversal, the existing bullish structure remains valid and active. Currently, the largest asset is trading within the $61,930 range, following a minor 1.24% loss in value. Despite this slight dip, the immediate market impact is a state of cautious consolidation rather than panic selling. Notably, the key line in the sand for buyers is $61,000. As long as Bitcoin maintains its footing above this critical baseline, the upward momentum remains intact, keeping the doors wide open for the market to test higher price targets. Al
