Iran Ceasefire Odds Climb on Polymarket as Trump Signals Negotiations With Tehran – Bitcoin News

boss

Iran Peace Talks Surface Much has shifted since U.S. President Donald Trump warned he would “obliterate” Iran’s power stations if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed. In the wake of that remark—which sent bitcoin’s price lower—the rhetoric has softened, with the president stating the U.S. was “in negotiations right now” with Iran. Precious metal prices have edged higher, while Brent crude (UKOIL) has eased alongside declines in West Texas Intermediate (WTI) prices, and crypto assets have also posted gains. U.S. equity futures point to a modest rebound on Wall Street,…

Bitcoin Distribution Mechanism Has Not Changed, All Roads Point To Crash Below $50,000

boss

Bitcoin’s latest stretch of sideways price action around $70,000 is being read by some traders as a sign that the cryptocurrency is finally settling down. However, technical analysis shows that the structure now forming on the daily chart might not actually be a recovery base at all but a distribution pattern before a new low that has already appeared once before during a bigger decline since late 2025. Bitcoin’s Distribution Mechanism Is Still The Same According to a crypto analyst that goes by the name Ardi on the social media…

Bitcoin Rallies After Iran Strikes but Safe Haven Role Unproven

boss

Before the Iran war broke out, Bitcoin spent months trading sideways while gold rallied to record levels. At the time, gold was seen as the go-to safe haven; inflation concerns remained persistent and geopolitical tensions continued to build, while Bitcoin (BTC) failed to live up to that role. Nearly a month after the US and Israel launched the first strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, that view is being challenged. Bitcoin initially fell to $63,176 on the news of the attacks but has since risen about 12% to $71,012, as…

Nobody knows if quantum secure cryptography will even work

boss

Why upgrade if PQ signatures are not yet proven? The dirty secret of efforts to upgrade blockchains to post-quantum cryptography is that no one is sure if any of them work. None of the signatures being considered by major blockchains as quantum-resistant upgrades have been 100% proven to work. Until a quantum computer is invented, we won’t know for certain if they can successfully protect against an attack. Some may fall to an attack even before Q Day using existing computer technology. The National Institute of Standards and Technology tested…

Governments Need CBDCs To Improve Financial Inclusion Among Citizens

boss

Opinion by: Xin Yan, co-founder and CEO of Sign. Financial exclusion remains one of the most persistent challenges for national governments. World Bank data highlights how more than 1.3 billion adults remain unbanked, without access to a financial account. These people rely on cash, creating a ‘cash-digital divide’, which excludes them from the formal economy. To bridge the divide, governments need to promote CBDCs actively. As a trusted, risk-free alternative to physical cash, CBDCs are ideal instruments for the financially excluded demographic. With a seamless entry point to the financial…

XRP Could Be Building A Major Short Squeeze, Analyst Says

boss

XRP may be setting up for a large upside liquidation event even as price action remains fragile in the short term, according to Cryptoinsightuk analyst Will Taylor, who argued in a March 24 video that leverage positioning, funding data, and broader market structure still point to a higher move later in the cycle. Taylor’s core claim is not that XRP has bottomed cleanly or that downside risk has disappeared. It is that the balance of leverage, sentiment, and liquidity remains skewed in a way that could eventually force price higher,…
