Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has called for a major reset of how Ethereum is governed. In a recent post, he said current governance relies too much on informal “vibes” and lacks real accountability. Buterin proposed a clear two-layer governance model. The first layer would handle execution through open, market-based mechanisms similar to prediction markets. In this system, good decisions earn money, while bad decisions lose money. The second layer would focus on preference-setting and oversight. Buterin said this layer must not use tokens, because token ownership is easy to capture by wealthy actors. Instead, it should be decentralized, pluralistic, and…
XRP has fallen to around $1.64, down roughly 14% over the past week, hitting a nine-month low amid broader crypto market weakness. The decline largely follows Bitcoin, which slipped toward $74,500, dragging XRP and other altcoins lower. Investors are also cautious due to macro uncertainty, including geopolitical tensions, U.S. government shutdown risks, and expectations of high interest rates. Regulatory delays in the U.S., including the slow-moving Clarity Act, are also weighing on XRP’s upside potential. Analysts say these factors keep the token’s outlook cautious. Short-term support for XRP sits near $1.55, while resistance is around $1.65. A drop below $1.50…
Michael Saylor briefly appeared in newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein files, sparking headlines—but MicroStrategy’s stock moves show the market remains driven mainly by Bitcoin price rather than scandal risk. The files list Saylor at a 2010 charity dinner, paying $25,000 for a ticket, with a publicist describing him as “like a drugged zombie.” There are no criminal allegations, trips to Epstein’s island, or links to crypto dealings. Social media reacted with a mix of mockery and admiration. Some joked that Saylor’s awkwardness made him “unblackmailable,” framing it as proof of incorruptibility in elite circles. MSTR’s trading over the weekend reflected Bitcoin’s…
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has quietly profited roughly $70,000 by betting against extreme scenarios on Polymarket, demonstrating how rational strategies can outperform hype-driven markets. In an interview with Foresight News, Buterin explained his approach targets what he calls “crazy mode” markets—prediction contracts fueled by fear or unrealistic speculation. Examples include wagers on Donald Trump winning a Nobel Peace Prize or the U.S. dollar collapsing by 2027. Buterin committed about $440,000 to these markets in 2025, earning roughly a 16% return by betting against the most irrational bets. “Betting against market hype is where the edge lies,” he said, noting that…
Justin Sun, founder of TRON, faces fresh market manipulation claims after Chinese journalist Zeng Ying accused him of using Binance accounts to artificially pump and dump TRX. Zeng, who says she was close to Sun during TRON’s early days, posted on X that Sun coordinated multiple employee identities and phone accounts to trade TRX, creating “massive illegal profits” at the expense of retail investors. She claims to have chat records and internal evidence and invited U.S. regulators to contact her. The allegations tie into an earlier U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) case. In 2023, the SEC charged Sun with…
Trevor Noah sparked online buzz during the 2026 Grammy Awards after making a surprise joke referencing the crypto-based prediction platform Polymarket. During the opening moments of the ceremony at the Crypto.com Arena, Noah randomly said the word “potato,” briefly confusing the audience. He then followed up by joking that anyone who bet on him saying the word on Polymarket had just made money. The joke was a nod to Polymarket’s novelty markets, where users wager on outcomes using USDC, including whether certain words or moments will happen during live events like award shows. Social media quickly reacted to the moment.…
Bitcoin fell below $80,000 over the weekend after confirmation that Kevin Warsh will become the next chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve, triggering a sharp risk-off move across crypto markets. The drop led to heavy deleveraging, with about $2.5 billion worth of leveraged long positions liquidated, according to analysts at QCP Asia. The sell-off pushed bitcoin through key technical support levels before prices stabilized near a mid-cycle support zone. In a Monday market note, QCP Asia said bitcoin briefly touched levels associated with earlier cycle lows, while ether and other major cryptocurrencies also declined. The pressure was amplified by continued…
Dogecoin (DOGE), the popular meme cryptocurrency, is showing potential for long-term growth despite recent bearish trends. Analysts predict the token could rise steadily from its current price of $0.103. Technical analysis shows DOGE facing resistance around $0.107 and support near $0.100. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates the coin is oversold, signaling selling pressure. Daily and 50-day moving averages also suggest a bearish market sentiment. Despite this, Dogecoin’s dedicated community and strong online presence continue to drive interest. The coin’s history of dramatic rallies, including its all-time high of $0.7376 in May 2021, reflects its capacity for growth under favorable…
Bitcoin may be approaching its final major dip of the current market cycle, according to crypto analyst PlanC. He said the $75,000–$80,000 price zone could mark the deepest pullback of this bull run. Bitcoin traded between $77,082 and $83,426 over the past 24 hours. The price remains about 38% below its all-time high of $126,080 reached in October 2025. Losses have built across several timeframes. Bitcoin fell 6% in the past day, 11.6% over the past week, and 23.5% over the past year. PlanC noted that Bitcoin has often seen 35% to 40% corrections during past bull markets. He said…
