US Senators Adam Schiff and John Curtis are expected to introduce a bipartisan bill on Monday that would bar sports betting and “casino-style” contracts from prediction markets regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), according to a Monday Wall Street Journal report. “Too many young people in Utah are getting exposed to addictive sports betting and casino-style gaming contracts that belong under state control, not under federal regulators,” Senator Curtis, one of the bill’s co-sponsors, told the WSJ. If introduced as reported, the measure would add to a widening…

Spain Arrests Suspect in 2025 Ledger Co-Founder Kidnapping
Spanish authorities have arrested a suspect in the 2025 kidnapping of Ledger co-founder David Balland, marking a cross-border breakthrough in one of Europe’s most high-profile crypto-linked abduction cases. Spain’s Civil Guard said the suspect was detained in Benalmádena, in the southern province of Málaga, under a European arrest warrant issued by France.

Bitcoin Miner Selling Pressure Drops To Near Three-Year Low
Bitcoin miner selling pressure has fallen sharply, with BTC inflows from miners to Binance dropping to levels not seen since mid-2023. The shift matters because miner distribution is one of the market’s more persistent sources of structural sell-side pressure, and the latest data suggests that pressure has eased for now.

When the same activity is measured across all exchanges, the figure rises only…

The inflows extended the streak to four consecutive weeks, but the latest total was sharply lower than the previous week’s $1.06 billion. CoinShares head of research James Butterfill largely attributed the slowdown to…
Strait of Hormuz Crisis Hits Bitcoin Mining Economics
Bitcoin miners and mining in general are in trouble. Brent crude is pushing past $113 a barrel after Trump’s ultimatum to Tehran. Energy costs are spiking and miners are directly in the crosshairs. Average production costs are already sitting at $88,000 per BTC against a spot price of roughly $69,200. The math is already bad. An energy shock makes it worse. Electricity accounts for 60-80% of miner operating costs. When oil prices surge, industrial electricity tariffs follow. Every tick higher in energy prices pushes the breakeven threshold further above what…
