1. OVERNIGHT MOVES

The Crypto Council for Innovation has launched a coalition to advocate for clearer regulations on crypto vaults, which allow users to deposit digital assets and earn yield. This move aims to address the growing popularity and regulatory uncertainty surrounding these financial products.

Bitcoin's recent price drop is testing the belief that institutions are steadily adopting it. Anthony Pompliano argues this is normal market behavior as Bitcoin matures into a mainstream financial asset.

A Schwab strategist suggests Bitcoin's recent crash found support near $60,000, where it matches the production cost for the most efficient miners. This could create a natural energy-based floor for the price, as miners are unlikely to sell below their operational costs.

Bitcoin dropped to $59,227 overnight but rebounded, following a broader market selloff triggered by strong jobs data. The volatility led to $1.6 billion in liquidations across crypto markets.

Bitcoin has returned to $60,000, but institutional investors are now selling heavily through ETFs, marking a sharp reversal from February when they were net buyers during the dip. ETF outflows have reached $1.2 billion in the past week, according to CoinDesk.

Bitcoin's price has fallen below the 'Basically a Fire Sale!' level on the Bitcoin Rainbow Chart, a rare event that last happened during the FTX collapse. The Fear and Greed Index has also dropped to 12, indicating extreme fear in the market.

Bitcoin surged after President Trump's reelection, pushing to new highs deep into 2025. Now it's down more than 50% from that peak, trading below where it was before the rally began.

The Zcash vulnerability uncovered with help from Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 signals a shift in who may discover critical flaws first. Experts warn the crypto industry may not be prepared for this new reality.

Abra’s CEO Bill Barhydt believes tokenized yield products and onchain lending will be the next big thing in crypto wealth management. This comes as Abra prepares for its Nasdaq debut, signaling growing institutional interest in the space.
Zcash developers are considering a new shielded pool and turnstile accounting to address a recent bug that allowed counterfeit transactions. This follows concerns about the supply verification process in the Orchard protocol.
Fallout from a bug that enabled undetectable Zcash counterfeiting shows that privacy can sometimes present tradeoffs, experts say.
Taylor Hornby, who uncovered the Orchard flaw that sent Zcash down 38%, says other privacy coins are on his list too.
A security researcher discovered a critical vulnerability in Zcash that could have enabled unlimited counterfeit coin creation. The bug was fixed within days, and findings suggest that actual exploitation of the bug is unlikely. ZEC's price dropped 31% on the news.
The House Ways and Means Committee is reviewing seven draft bills that could ease tax burdens on small crypto gains, mining, and staking. This could make crypto transactions more accessible for everyday users.
The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued a warning to Hyperliquid, a crypto derivatives platform. This adds to growing regulatory pressure on perpetual contracts (perps) in the crypto market. The FCA is concerned about potential risks to consumers and market integrity.
Quantitative trading firms are hiring aggressively for prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi, not to bet on outcomes but to exploit market inefficiencies. This shift signals growing interest in these platforms beyond niche betting.
BitMine, an Ethereum-focused treasury led by Tom Lee, has priced an upsized offering of preferred shares with a 9.5% dividend to raise funds for buying Ethereum. The move mirrors a strategy used by Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) in the Bitcoin space.
Securitize has cleared a major regulatory hurdle, bringing it closer to a NYSE listing as SECZ. The company's SPAC merger is expected to close after a shareholder vote later this month.
Morgan Stanley Wealth Management has partnered with Galaxy Digital to allow eligible clients to lend crypto assets in exchange for shares of spot crypto ETPs, marking a significant step in integrating traditional finance with digital assets.
