Token burning only raises prices when demand, utility and transparency align. Here’s when supply cuts work, and why SHIB and BNB tell different stories. Token burns are a key part of many projects’ tokenomics. They permanently remove coins from circulation, but supply cuts alone don’t guarantee price gains. Burns work best when supported by strong fundamentals, meaningful burn volume and rising demand. Market trends, investor sentiment and burn transparency all shape price impact. Read more -

MEV isn’t inevitable. It’s engineered exploitation masquerading as necessity. Blockchain’s future depends on eliminating this hidden tax on users. Opinion by: Da Hongfei, founder of Neo Decentralized, permissionless and transparent. These are the principles that attracted many of us to the blockchain ecosystem. This vision is still being undermined, however, by an insidious, often invisible force: maximal extractable value (MEV). MEV isn’t inevitable; it’s a choice. Too many treat it as an unavoidable byproduct of blockchains. It is not. MEV is engineered into incentives, and it can be engineered out. Left unchecked, it becomes a hidden tax, a form of censorship, and a direct assault on fairness and decentralization. Read more -

The loan came shortly after Metaplanet launched a $500 million Bitcoin-backed share buyback program, after its market-based net asset value fell below 1.0. Tokyo-listed Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet secured a $100 million Bitcoin-backed loan to purchase additional BTC and repurchase its shares. According to a Tuesday filing, the funds were borrowed on Oct. 31 under a credit agreement that allows the company to secure short-term financing using its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings as collateral. The lender’s identity was not disclosed, but the company said the loan carries a benchmark US dollar rate plus a spread and can be repaid at any time. Metaplanet said that the loan structure is conservative, noting it holds 30,823 BTC, worth around $3.5 billion as of the end of October, a position large enough to maintain healthy collateral coverage even if Bitcoin’s price declines.

Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes said increasing US debt will force the Federal Reserve into “stealth QE,” injecting liquidity that could reignite Bitcoin’s next rally. Bitcoin’s recent dip below $100,000, its lowest level since June, has sparked concerns among crypto investors. Still, two well-known market figures offer an optimistic view of where Bitcoin may be headed. Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan said the latest downturn reflects peak retail capitulation rather than the start of a deeper collapse. “Crypto retail is in max desperation,” he told CNBC’s Crypto World on Tuesday. “We’ve seen leverage blowouts... the market for sort of crypto native retail is just more depressed than I’ve ever seen it.” Hougan said there are more and more signs that the sell-off is nearing exhaustion. “When I go out and speak to institutions or financial advisers, they’re still excited to allocate to an asset class that if you pan back and look over the course of a year, is still delivering very strong returns,” he... -

In early October, Tom Lee and Arthur Hayes were confident that Bitcoin could still reach $250,000 by year-end, but analysts say half that figure is now unlikely. Bitcoin’s price appears to be losing steam, which may mean that the more optimistic forecasts for the end of 2025 may not materialize this year. However, analysts are divided on whether Bitcoin (BTC) will see renewed momentum in 2026. “We don’t expect crypto to go any higher than $125K USD in 2025,” ShapeShift analyst Houston Morgan said in comments viewed by Cointelegraph. That target is just below Bitcoin’s Oct. 4 all-time high of just over $126,000. Read more -

Sequans shares fell 16% on Tuesday after the chip maker said it sold 970 Bitcoin to redeem half of its $189 million outstanding convertible debt. Shares in Sequans dropped by over 16% after selling 30% of its Bitcoin to redeem half of its convertible debt, a move the semiconductor company described as a “strategic asset reallocation.” “Our Bitcoin treasury strategy and our deep conviction in Bitcoin remain unchanged,” Sequans CEO Georges Karam said on Tuesday. “This transaction was a tactical decision aimed at unlocking shareholder value given current market conditions.” The sale cut the chip developer’s Bitcoin (BTC) stash from 3,234 BTC to 2,264 BTC, backsliding from its goal to accumulate 100,000 BTC over the next five years. Proceeds from the sale were used to cut its outstanding debt from $189 million to $94.5 million. Read more -

The US-based cryptocurrency exchange applied for a national trust charter in October as part of its plans to “bridge the gap“ with traditional finance. The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) is coming out against cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase’s application for a National Trust Company Charter in the US — a move that could threaten banks’ interests as the company moves closer to traditional finance. In a Monday letter to the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) — the office responsible for approving banking applications — the ICBA said it “strongly opposes” Coinbase’s subsidiary applying for a trust charter. The letter cited “untested” elements related to crypto custody, as well as claims that Coinbase’s arm would “struggle to achieve and maintain profitability during crypto bear markets.” “Imagine opposing a regulated trust charter because you prefer crypto to stay… unregulated,” said Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal in a Tuesday X post. “That’s ICBA’s position. It’s ano... -

In an interview with Cointelegraph, economist Peter Schiff warns that Bitcoin’s gains are built on political and Wall Street support that may not last. In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, veteran economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff issued one of his starkest warnings yet about Bitcoin’s future, and the powerful forces he believes have inflated it. Schiff argues that the latest Bitcoin (BTC) bull market isn’t organic, but rather propped up by political influence in Washington, DC and Wall Street’s self-interest. Despite being proven wrong multiple times in the past, Schiff is doubling down on his statement that Bitcoin is a “bubble” and will eventually “go to zero.” The economist challenges the mainstream narrative that Bitcoin protects investors from inflation or dollar weakness, warning instead that the same institutions Bitcoin was meant to disrupt are now the ones keeping it alive.

CleanSpark expanded its power capacity and secured a Texas site for its new AI campus, reflecting a broader shift among Bitcoin miners toward high-performance computing. Bitcoin miner CleanSpark expanded its power capacity by 28% in October as part of a broader push beyond crypto mining into artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC). The US-based company said it had acquired 271 acres near Houston, Texas, securing 285 megawatts of long-term power for a dedicated AI data center. The move marks one of CleanSpark’s largest steps yet to diversify its operations as demand for energy-intensive computing continues to surge. CleanSpark’s AI move also led to a new partnership with Submer, a company that offers cooling solutions for data centers. “While Bitcoin remains an integral part of our business, we’re equally focused on developing large-scale data centers that will power the next generation of innovation across the digital world,” said Matt Schultz, CleanSpark’s CEO and chairman.

10x Research says Ethereum faces structural risks as Bitcoin draws most institutional capital, making ETH a potential hedge short amid market caution. As Bitcoin continues to attract institutional treasury capital, Ethereum-focused companies are beginning to run out of dry powder, making the asset a potential shorting opportunity for investors looking to hedge their exposure to the digital asset sector. That was one of the key takeaways from a recent 10x Research report, which argued that shorting Ether (ETH) could be a smart hedge against Bitcoin (BTC). According to the report, Bitcoin remains the primary focus for institutional investment, while Ether exhibits structural weaknesses. The analysts said that “digital asset treasury” narratives around Ethereum have led institutions to accumulate ETH and later distribute it to retail investors — a pattern now breaking down amid a lack of transparency in private investment in public equity (PIPE) disclosures and uncertain capital flows.
