Bitcoin is now more than just something people trade or hold as a store of value; it’s starting to pay interest.But there’s a catch: the coins earning those rewards can’t move for months or years. A growing number of holders are locking their BTC into time-based contracts that promise yield but also freeze supply.However, on the plus side, this tightens the market’s breathing room and opens a pathway to future supply squeeze-enabled price pumps.Timelocked and staked Bitcoin are creating a duration structure in the UTXO set that affects free float, execution costs, and fee reflexes.The change is most visible in…

Key takeaways: Use confirmation, not hope: Wait for a higher-timeframe close and a clean retest before sizing up.Read leverage tells: Extreme funding plus rising open interest at a key level signals trap risk in the opposite direction.Don’t trust thin books: Off-hours liquidity, spoof orders, listings or unlocks can manufacture fake breaks.Respect liquidations: Cascades often mark exhaustion; snap-backs are common once forced flows clear.Why crypto is a trap-heavy marketThe way crypto trades sets it up for traps.Markets run 24/7, and a growing share of volume comes from high-leverage perpetual futures. That means even small order imbalances can trigger sharp, short-lived moves.That’s why…

In brief Over the past week, investors been pulling money out of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. But on Tuesday, they reversed course, putting a combined $618.9 million into the funds. Experts told Decrypt that crypto markets path forward remains uncertain. Investors piled back into Bitcoin ETFs and their Ethereum counterparts Tuesday, reversing days of outflows, although the fresh investments failed to give the two largest cryptocurrencies by market value a long-lasting bump. The price of the two biggest digital assets has in the past risen significantly when investors have bought shares of the American ETFs. Investors sank about $477 million and $142…

The massive market crash this month was a mid-cycle correction, not the beginning of a bear market, according to VanEck. Bitcoin’s October pullback reflects a “liquidity-driven mid-cycle reset,” said analysts Nathan Frankovitz and Matthew Sigel in a VanEck market report on Wednesday. “Leverage has normalized, on-chain activity is rising, and digital assets’ macro role continues to strengthen,” they added. Bitcoin is currently trading down 14% from its all-time high and has failed to recover from the record leverage flush earlier this month. With leverage now at the 61st percentile and prices near one-year lows relative to gold, this appears…

The bearish tone dominated most of the session, keeping the token pinned near its lows and reinforcing the short-term downtrend.A…

In brief Google’s Willow chip achieved a verified quantum speed-up confirmed by experiment. Verified results mark a step toward fault-tolerant quantum systems with real-world impact. Experts warn that such progress could eventually threaten Bitcoin’s elliptic-curve encryption. Google’s latest quantum processor has achieved what physicists have pursued for decades: a verified speed-up over the world’s best supercomputers. And that makes the anticipated threat against Bitcoin appear even bigger than ever.In a study published in Nature on Wednesday, the company’s 105-qubit Willow chip ran a physics algorithm faster than any classical machine could simulate—a first experimentally confirmed quantum advantage achieved with real…

T. Rowe Price, the 87-year-old investment firm known for its mutual funds, is making a move into crypto.On Wednesday, the company filed an S-1 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch the T. Rowe Price Active Crypto ETF.The S-1 is a key regulatory filing that signals a firm’s intent to list a new product, often used ahead of a public offering. In this case, the ETF would give investors active exposure to digital assets, a notable shift for a company that manages over $1.8 trillion, largely through conservative investment vehicles like mutual funds.“Did not expect it…
