Bitcoin miners could sign the equivalent of 150 billion dollars in contracts thanks to the rise of artificial intelligence. According to Bernstein, the global shortage of electricity and data centers is pushing AI giants to seek partners capable of quickly providing computing power. The infrastructures built for bitcoin are thus becoming strategic assets far beyond crypto.

Stablecoins continue to gain ground in digital uses, far beyond the traditional crypto ecosystem. Now, Samsung intends to give them a place at the heart of its Wallet application, presented as a future everyday wallet. This evolution marks a new stage in the strategy of the Korean group, which wants to bring together payments, rewards, and digital assets within a single interface. The announcement was made during Galaxy Unpacked and confirms the growing interest of major technology companies in stablecoins.

Washington is divided by the Clarity Act. The Senate hesitates, but Charles Schwab sees it as a historic catalyst. This bill has the potential to either redefine the crypto market or leave it in the dark due to political impasses and innovation.

Bitget has registered as a Financial Services Provider in New Zealand, adding another jurisdiction to its international compliance framework. The registration covers services ranging from foreign exchange and money transfers to custody and portfolio management. It also supports Bitget’s wider ambition to connect crypto, tokenized assets and traditional markets through its Universal Exchange model.

Markets only needed a few hours to waver. A surge in oil prices, triggered by escalating tensions in the Middle East, revived risk aversion and led to a sell-off in the most exposed assets. Bitcoin, which was still trying to consolidate its recent gains, found itself caught in a well-known mechanism: rising US bond yields, retreating expectations of Fed rate cuts, and the sudden return of geopolitical uncertainty. Can cryptos still escape macroeconomic turmoil?

Bitcoin is regaining ground, but a barrier continues to slow its ascent. Despite a rebound from nearly $58,000 to $63,955 in a few weeks and sustained interest in spot Bitcoin ETFs, the leading crypto struggles to regain control of a major technical threshold. Behind this persistent resistance lie market mechanisms far more complex than a simple lack of buyers. Why does this ceiling still block Bitcoin's upward momentum?

The crypto derivatives platform BitMEX faces a class action lawsuit for 622.66 bitcoins, filed on July 24, 2026, before the federal court in New York. The plaintiffs accuse the exchange of orchestrating fraudulent liquidations to seize their clients' bitcoins. This legal action coincides with the very day BitMEX announces the end of eleven years of operation.

In the crypto derivatives market, overconfidence is quickly punished. While bitcoin was calmly flirting with $67,000, a lightning crash wiped out $2,000 of value in just seven hours, breaking the $64,000 support. More than a simple technical correction, this drop mercilessly liquidated many positions. It thus exposes the vulnerability of overexposed long positions caught between market nervousness and global macroeconomic tensions.
