In brief MARA Holdings is acquiring a 1,200+ acre powered site in Matagorda County, Texas from HIF USA, gaining access to up to 2 GW of grid capacity by April 2028.

The post Bitcoin Reclaims 63k but Traders Fear Correction Before Deribit Expiry appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin (BTC) reclaimed the $63,000 mark on Thursday, but traders fear a correction ahead of Friday’s $1.4 billion options expiry on Deribit. The concerns stem from the US government bond yield climbing toward a level that many view as a warning sign. Is the $62,000 support level at risk? Key takeaways: Rising US Treasury yields signal debt concerns, negatively pressuring risk assets. Balanced Bitcoin options put-to-call volumes suggest limited downside from the $62,000 level. US 10-year Treasury yield (left) vs. Bitcoin/USD (right). Source: TradingView Bitcoin ETF outflows are not a concern ahead of the Bitcoin options expiry The 10-year Treasury yield’s approach to 4.6% signals investor anxiety over the expansion of US government debt and prospects for further monetary policy expansion to avert an economic recession.

The post Bitcoin’s New Debt Machine Is Facing Its First Major Test appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Public companies kept stacking Bitcoin in June, but the month’s real story played out in a corner of the market that did not exist a couple of years ago: the preferred shares that treasury firms now use to fund their coin purchases. A new report from BitcoinTreasuries.net calls June the first true stress test for this “digital credit” market, and the results offer a mixed but telling verdict on where corporate Bitcoin adoption goes next. First, the buying. Public treasuries added close to 9,000 BTC before sales in June, or about 7,300 BTC on a net basis, worth some $427 million at the month-end price of $58,398. That counts as moderate growth, and two names did most of the work. Michael Saylor’s Strategy added 3,625 BTC net, and Strive added 3,364, with each company spending in the neighborhood of $200 million. Strip out those two and the rest of the field bought about 2,000 BTC.
The post Visa breaks higher after completing A-B-C correction, wave five targets new highs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Visa has delivered a very clean and almost textbook retracement from the 2025 highs. The decline unfolded as a clear three-wave A-B-C correction, reaching the 293–300 support zone, where we were looking for the completion of the pullback and a reaction from the previous gap area. Since then, price has developed a series of higher swing lows and has broken above the corrective channel resistance near 345, providing further confirmation that bullish momentum is returning. This suggests that wave five could now be underway, with the potential to push toward new yearly highs and possibly extend toward the 400 area. VISA Daily Chart In the short term, a temporary pullback would not be surprising. The broken corrective channel could now act as support around 342, while the Elliott Wave Oscillator may retrace toward the zero line, creating a potential setup for the n
The post Can Cardano (ADA) Reclaim $1 in 2026: 3 AIs Weigh in appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
“Reclaiming $1 in 2026 is mathematically and technically possible for Cardano (ADA), but it faces a steep, uphill battle,” Gemini stated. June was not kind to Cardano’s native token, whose price briefly crashed below $0.14, marking the lowest point since 2020. Fortunately for the bulls, the asset started July on the right foot, temporarily recovering to roughly $0.20, and is currently trading at around $0.17, representing a 14% increase over two weeks. It will be interesting to see whether ADA can extend its positive momentum in the following months and reclaim the major milestone of $1 before the end of the year. Below is the perspective of three of the most widely used AI-powered chatbots. Possible But Quite Difficult Task ChatGPT estimated that ADA could reach $1 sometime this year, but warned that this will be extremely challenging given current levels. OpenAI’s platform claimed tha
The post UK Crypto Donation Ban Spurs Political Reforms appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
When Nigel Farage resigned as MP for Clacton, he may have thought the storm would pass. Instead, it accelerated. The UK crypto donation ban debate — long a niche regulatory question — has exploded into the center of British politics, forcing Labour MPs to propose measures that could permanently reshape how digital assets intersect with democratic funding. Key takeaways Labour MPs are pushing to make the March moratorium on crypto political donations permanent through amendments to the representation of the people bill. Farage resigned as MP after revelations including a $6.7 million gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne and support from George Cottrell, a convicted fraudster. The UK parliamentary standards commissioner is already investigating Farage’s donations. Labour MP Liam Byrne warned that $268 million has flowed into building a populist media-political complex in Britain. And
