Gate Europe Adds New User Rewards As Binance EU Deadline Nears

Strategy sold 2,732,318 shares of MSTR between July 13 and July 19, raising $263.5 million in net proceeds while making no new Bitcoin purchases. The company’s July 20 Form 8-K listed no preferred-stock sales and no purchases under its common or preferred share-repurchase programs during the period. Strategy still had $23.53 billion available under its MSTR at-the-market offerings at the end of the week. Its U.S. dollar reserve increased to $3.225 billion from $3 billion on July 12. The balance...

Project Eleven has developed a zero-knowledge proof that could let Bitcoin holders recover funds restricted under a future quantum-security upgrade without exposing the wallet secrets used to establish ownership. The post-quantum recovery prototype uses the key-derivation structure of BIP-32 wallets. A holder proves knowledge of private key material above an address in the wallet’s derivation tree, proves that the material generated the affected address and binds the proof to a migration transaction. The parent key and other private data remain...

Bitcoin has formed a bullish divergence on the weekly relative strength index, reviving a technical signal last seen near the market’s November 2022 bottom. BTC traded near $64,700 on Sunday after moving between approximately $63,900 and $64,900 over the previous 24 hours. The rebound has lifted Bitcoin back toward the $65,000 level that repeatedly rejected buyers during July. A bullish divergence appears when price records a lower low while RSI forms a higher low, signaling that selling momentum is weakening...

JPMorgan has turned more constructive on Bitcoin after Strategy expanded its U.S. dollar reserve to $3 billion, giving the treasury company enough liquidity to cover roughly 20 months of preferred-stock dividends and interest payments. The larger reserve is an “encouraging sign” for Bitcoin, analysts led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou wrote, because it reduces the likelihood that Strategy will need to sell more of its Bitcoin treasury to meet recurring cash obligations. Strategy increased its reserve by $450 million during the week...

BitMine Immersion Technologies repurchased approximately 5.5 million common shares over the past week as the company shifted capital away from its usual pace of Ethereum accumulation. The shares were acquired at an average price of $15.6156, implying a total outlay of roughly $85.9 million. The purchases were completed under BitMine’s previously authorized $4 billion share-repurchase program. Chairman Tom Lee called the repurchases accretive to shareholder value. BMNR traded near $15.97 on Monday, slightly above the average price paid by the...

BitMine Immersion Technologies acquired 27,801 ETH over the past week, lifting its total holdings to 5,770,038 ETH as of July 12. The position represents about 4.8% of Ethereum’s 120.7 million circulating supply, placing the company 96% of the way toward its stated goal of controlling 5% of all ETH. The latest treasury update valued the ETH position at roughly $10.5 billion using a reference price of $1,820. BitMine also held 206 BTC, $482 million in cash and marketable securities, a...

Ethereum returned above $1,800 after rebounding from the $1,750 area, putting the market’s next resistance band between $1,820 and $1,850 back in play. ETH traded near $1,809, up about 0.7% over 24 hours, after moving between $1,780 and $1,828. The intraday push briefly cleared $1,820, but the market still needs to hold the level through a stronger daily close before the breakout extends toward $1,850 and $1,900. The move follows an earlier test of the same resistance cluster. Ethereum previously...

Tom Lee’s BitMine added another 40,000 ETH from Kraken and FalconX, extending one of the fastest Ethereum treasury accumulation strategies among public-market crypto companies. The purchase was valued at about $71.6 million, putting the implied ETH price near $1,790. The flow came through two large institutional venue transfers rather than a series of smaller spot-market buys, matching the pattern seen in BitMine’s recent ETH accumulation. The move has not yet appeared in a BitMine filing or official treasury update. Until...

Agentic trading is a form of market automation where an AI agent can analyze data, reason through a goal, use tools, prepare trades, and sometimes execute orders through an exchange API, wallet, smart account, broker connection, or onchain protocol. It moves the conversation beyond simple trading bots because the agent is not only following a fixed trigger. It can combine market data, user instructions, portfolio context, and approved tools before deciding what action fits the rules it has been given....

Crypto data aggregators turn scattered market information into one usable research layer. Instead of checking separate exchanges, DEX pools, block explorers, wallet dashboards, token pages, protocol analytics, and portfolio apps, users can compare price, market capitalization, trading volume, liquidity, supply, exchange pairs, contract addresses, DeFi activity, and on-chain movement from one place. Crypto markets are fragmented across venues, chains, and token versions, so the same asset can trade on centralized exchanges, several decentralized exchanges, multiple networks, and wrapped or bridged...

Telegram has become one of the most active places where crypto users discover tokens, join communities, follow launch alerts, and execute trades through bots. What started as chat groups and announcement channels has expanded into wallet bots, sniper bots, DEX trading assistants, copy tools, alert systems, portfolio trackers, and chat-based swap interfaces. The appeal is speed: a user can see a token, paste a contract address, set trade parameters, and execute without leaving Telegram. That convenience creates a new risk...

Fully Paid Securities Lending, usually shortened to FPSL, is a traditional stock-lending structure that is now appearing inside crypto-native investing platforms. It does not mean staking Bitcoin, lending Ethereum, or supplying stablecoins to a DeFi pool. It means lending fully paid securities, such as stocks or ETFs, that a user already owns through a broker-linked account. The crypto context comes from the user experience. Exchanges and apps that started with digital assets are adding access to U.S. stocks, ETFs, stablecoin-funded...

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has joined the board of cryptocurrency exchange OKX, formalizing an advisory relationship that began in 2023 as the company expands its regulated business in the United States. OKX founder and CEO Star Xu announced the board appointment on Monday. Xu credited Cuomo with providing regulatory and policy guidance during the exchange’s growth and described the appointment as part of OKX’s effort to strengthen trust around its global platform. OKX did not disclose Cuomo’s compensation,...

Hyperliquid will open HIP-4 outcome markets to permissionless deployment through a future network upgrade, launching the system on testnet before extending it to mainnet. The permissionless deployment plan follows a validator-run phase used to test market creation, trading and settlement before independent builders receive access. Hyperliquid took a similar staged approach with permissionless spot and perpetual markets. HIP-4 brings fully collateralized outcome contracts into HyperCore, allowing traders to take positions on defined events rather than only spot assets or perpetual...

Consensys removed a software contractor tied to North Korea after the developer spent about one month contributing to MetaMask code, including work connected to crypto-to-fiat services and the wallet’s mobile application. The consultant operated under the alias “Tyler Knapp” and the GitHub handle “imyugioh.” Internal communications obtained by Drop Site News placed the first contributions on March 9, 2026, with activity ending in April when Consensys terminated the contractor’s access. The public GitHub profile still displays MetaMask’s core and mobile...

SlowMist has uncovered a macOS information stealer that can seize authenticated Telegram sessions, copy crypto wallet databases and replace legitimate wallet applications with attacker-controlled phishing software. The campaign begins with a fake community application hosted through Google Sites. Victims are directed to download an AppleScript file or run a Terminal command disguised as a security-verification step. The payload then displays a phony “Google API Connector” update prompt requesting administrator access. The malware does not accept any password entered into the...
