Bitcoin’s (BTC) price action has been pinned between $60,000 and $70,000 over the past two months as leverage-dominant trading, weak spot market demand, and consistent losses from short-term holders have prevented rallies from sustaining their momentum. Combined, these market events create the current fragile setup, where Bitcoin price stability depends more on futures positioning than fresh capital inflows and this explains why BTC price remains volatile within its current range.Bitcoin futures lead the price trendAccording to Wintermute, the perpetual futures market activity continues to outweigh spot participation across the major exchanges. The perp-to-spot volume ratio has climbed to 15 times (15X),…
A whitepaper published yesterday by Google Quantum AI shows that a fast-clock quantum computer (with similar architecture to their existing Willow chip) could derive a private key from an exposed public key in approximately nine minutes. Bitcoin settles a block every 10 minutes.That is, on average, a one-minute margin between the system working and an adversary hijacking live transactions directly from the mempool before they confirm. That multi-trillion dollar minute means that not just Satoshi’s coins, but the entire supply of Bitcoin now and forever is at risk.For years, the industry’s position on quantum has been some version of “we’ll…

Opinion by: Jeff Handler, co-founder at OpenTrade.The tech has been solved. The digital dollars are flowing. In 2026, the only variable left is understanding who actually gets to collect and enjoy the fare.2025 wasn’t the year stablecoins “went mainstream”, at least not how crypto pundits had envisioned. No specific app that dominated the download charts, nor was there a particular moment when stablecoins suddenly clicked for normies. Instead, by intentional design, digital dollars quietly and efficiently became working capital, nestling neatly into the world’s financial plumbing.Now, as is the case with many elite technologies, stablecoins are invisible infrastructure.That signals the…
A new research paper from Google has intensified debate over whether Bitcoin can adapt in time to withstand advances in quantum computing, pushing developers and investors to confront a risk long treated as theoretical. Google’s quantum division said this week in a new whitepaper that future machines could break widely used encryption far more efficiently than previously estimated, including the elliptic curve cryptography that underpins Bitcoin wallets. The research suggests attacks that once appeared decades away may arrive sooner, with some scenarios modeling the ability to crack encryption in minutes under advanced conditions. The findings do not imply an immediate…
The United Kingdom’s move to pause political donations in cryptocurrency is colliding with rising digital asset awareness among younger people, according to a new survey shared with Cointelegraph.Research by Coinbase Institute and JL Partners, shared with Cointelegraph, found that crypto, led by Bitcoin (BTC), has overtaken traditional banking products as many young people’s entry point to understanding money, risk and financial opportunity. Just 43% recognize a Stocks & Shares Individual Savings Account and 20% a Help to Buy ISA, reflecting what the report describes as a “crypto first, TradFi second” re-ordering of financial literacy.The findings come as the United Kingdom…

Ethereum builders are pushing a new way to unify the ecosystem after years of fragmentation caused by the very networks designed to scale it.On Sunday, veteran Ethereum builder Gnosis and zero-knowledge virtual machine project Zisk unveiled the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ), a framework aimed at linking layer-2 rollups more tightly to the base network.The proposal positions Ethereum as the central hub, with Ether (ETH) remaining the gas token and settlement layer. It also introduces a model where smart contracts can interact across mainnet and EEZ rollups with atomic execution.The initiative comes as Ethereum reassesses its rollup-centric roadmap. After pushing activity…

Bitcoin price moved higher Sunday night into Monday after remarks from Donald Trump indicating the United States is engaged in discussions with a new leadership structure in Iran and that progress toward a potential agreement is underway. The comments helped lift risk appetite across digital assets after a weekend dip that briefly pushed bitcoin price toward the $64,000 area. The rebound added to a broader pattern of rangebound trading, with bitcoin holding between roughly $65,000 and $70,000 as markets continue to digest geopolitical developments, macroeconomic signals, and shifting liquidity conditions. The latest move followed a period of uneven price action…
