ViaBTC Showcases Collateral-Pledged Loan Solutions to Navigate Diverse Market Conditions – Press release Bitcoin News

PRESS RELEASE. While bull markets can be a golden period for miners, bear markets can be just as unforgiving. It’s not uncommon for crypto miners to incur major losses during periods of market volatility. In a typical bear market cycle, miners face the difficult decision to sell their coins to stay afloat or hold on and risk running out of capital as they try to cover mining costs. However, rather than selling mined cryptocurrencies that could still appreciate as the market recovers, ViaBTC has introduced a new solution to help…

Ethereum L2s Need Responsive Pricing to Scale, Says Offchain Labs

Ethereum layer-2 networks need “responsive pricing” to scale to billions of users and reduce the fee swings that still accompany congestion, Offchain Labs co-founder Edward Felten said during a keynote at EthCC 2026. Ethereum’s EIP-1559 upgrade launched in August 2021, as part of the London hard fork. It reformed the Ethereum fee market by modifying the gas fee limit and introduced a feature that burns part of the transaction fees, removing them permanently from circulation. Felten said gas-price swings are still the main mechanism for protecting networks from being overrun…

Why Malta Says ESMA Goes Too Far

Europe’s next crypto battle is no longer about whether to regulate the industry, but who gets to hold the pen. European Union leaders are weighing a European Commission proposal to hand direct supervision of the bloc’s largest crypto asset service providers (CASPs) to the Paris-based European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), shifting front-line control away from national regulators. France, Austria and Italy believe the move is overdue. In a joint September 2025 paper, their market authorities called for “a stronger European framework,” arguing centralized oversight is needed to address “major…

Bitcoin liquidation map flags $65,000 as key support, $68,000 as squeeze zone

Coinglass’ Bitcoin liquidation map shows a $1.143b long wall below $65k and a $754m short pocket above $68k, turning a small move into a potential $1.9b forced‑flow event.
