Prediction market platform Polymarket briefly appeared in Google News results before being removed, according to reports. The listing placed Polymarket links alongside articles from established media outlets. A spokesperson for Google said the appearance was a mistake. Speaking to The Verge, the company said the site had shown up in Google News “in error” and had since been removed. The links appeared during searches related to live global events. One example included a query about ship transit through the Strait of Hormuz, where Polymarket content appeared next to coverage from major publishers such as Reuters and The Guardian. Later searches…

April 11 was a rough day for altcoins. While Bitcoin kept flexing, the rest of the crypto market took a proper beating as traders ditched riskier tokens and piled back into BTC. Bitcoin dominance climbed to 59.14%, hitting a new high for the period. That number basically tells you how much of the total crypto market cap belongs to Bitcoin, and right now it is running the show. When dominance pushes that high, it is a clear sign that traders are playing it safe. Money flows out of smaller, more volatile altcoins and straight back into the big one. Dash…
Ethereum has been on a tear lately, climbing to around $2,234 on April 11 and outperforming Bitcoin in the process. Now traders are watching one key price level that could send things into overdrive. Reports say a break above $2,346 would put roughly $893 million worth of short positions at risk of liquidation across major crypto exchanges. That is a seriously large chunk of money sitting on the wrong side of the trade. So what does that actually mean? Basically, loads of traders have placed leveraged bets that ETH’s price will drop. Those bets are clustered right around the $2,346…
The US government has moved a small amount of seized Bitcoin, and it is getting people talking again. On April 10, around 2.438 BTC, worth about $177,000, was transferred from government-linked wallets to an account on Coinbase Prime. Blockchain data shared by Arkham Intelligence linked the funds to a criminal case. The wallets were labeled as seized assets connected to Glenn Olivio. Two transactions were made, both sent to the same destination address. Officials often move seized crypto like this. These transfers can be for storage, security, or internal management. Still, this one stood out because of its link to…
Bitcoin is struggling to move past the $73,000 mark and is currently stuck near $72,000. The price action shows a clear lack of direction as traders react to global political tension and mixed economic data from the United States. Tensions between Iran and the United States have added pressure on markets. Crude oil prices have climbed close to $97 per barrel after fresh warnings from Iranian officials about possible escalation in the region. When oil rises, investors usually move away from risky assets like Bitcoin and other crypto assets, which slows momentum. At the same time, economic data from the…
Patos Meme Coin is set to launch a renovated presale dApp this week, marking a major update to its platform. The release follows a short outage as developers worked to improve performance and fix technical issues reported by users. The project said the earlier version struggled under heavy traffic. Increased activity from its gaming platform caused slow loading times and wallet connection failures. The team took the site offline in late March to rebuild the system. The new version aims to provide faster access and more reliable transactions. It supports multiple cryptocurrencies, including SOL, ETH, BNB, and stablecoins. Developers say…
Bitcoin has failed to hold above $73,000, as global uncertainty and weak economic data in the United States dampen investor confidence. The cryptocurrency is now trading close to $72,000, showing little clear direction. The recent price slowdown comes as tensions rise between the United States and Iran. Concerns over a fragile ceasefire and possible escalation in the region have made investors more cautious. Earlier, Bitcoin saw a brief rally after rumours suggested Iran could accept cryptocurrency payments for cargo passing through the Strait of Hormuz. However, the optimism faded quickly as geopolitical risks returned to focus. At the same time,…
China has taken custody of Li Xiong, a key figure linked to the Huione Group, a massive crypto scam network. He was extradited from Cambodia to face fraud and money laundering charges. Authorities say Li Xiong was part of a syndicate that helped scam rings launder illegal funds across Asia. He previously served as chairman of Huione Group, which backed “pig butchering” schemes and other crypto investment frauds. The Huione network has been tied to one of the largest illicit online marketplaces, reportedly moving more than $89 billion in crypto connected to scams. Li Xiong’s arrest comes months after Chen…
The crypto market fell sharply today, dropping 2.6% to $2.37 trillion. The selloff came after U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. campaign against Iran would enter a “final phase” in the coming weeks. Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, fell over 4% to around $66,250. Many traders worry it could drop further to $65,000, a key support level. Ethereum also slid, approaching the $2,000 mark. Other major coins like XRP, BNB, Solana, and Dogecoin lost between 2% and 6%. The drop triggered over $420 million in liquidations on leveraged positions. Long trades bore the brunt, with $255 million wiped out.…
Google has warned that quantum computers could break Bitcoin’s security much sooner than expected, raising concerns across the crypto world. New research from Google suggests that the computing power needed to crack Bitcoin’s encryption has dropped sharply. Experts say it now requires around 20 times fewer quantum resources than earlier estimates. Bitcoin relies on complex cryptography to keep wallets safe. But Google researchers believe a powerful enough quantum computer could one day calculate private keys from public ones in just minutes. In a worst-case scenario, this could allow hackers to steal funds during transactions. Some estimates suggest up to 6.9…
