Bitcoin Price Has Died 472 Times: Can BTC Finally Flip The Script?

The Bitcoin price has been declared dead more times than most assets have had good days, 472 times since 2011, to be precise. Yet here it trades, around $73,300, down around -3% in the last 24 hours, still very much alive and grinding through what looks like a calculated consolidation phase. Data tracked by CryptoRank confirms that those 472 “Bitcoin is dead” declarations have spanned multiple market cycles, moments of genuine panic, regulatory threats, and macro-driven selloffs. Each time, the narrative collapsed under the weight of Bitcoin’s own price recovery. Bitcoin…

Elizabeth Warren Attacks Crypto Again With Ripple Charter FUD

Senator Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts and the Senate’s most persistent institutional critic of digital assets, sent a formal letter to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in May 2026 challenging the legality of nine national trust bank charters approved for Ripple and other crypto-focused firms since December 2024. Among them are Ripple, Circle, Paxos, BitGo, Coinbase, and Fidelity Digital Assets, demanding full charter files, internal legal analyses, and confidential application materials by June 1, 2026.

Bitcoin price fell to $72,978 in Asian hours today, down 3.4% over 24 hours as news on the US-Iran strike rattled the market. The U.S. Central Command strike on an Iranian military site near the Strait of Hormuz has simultaneously triggered risk-off selling across equities, a bid into energy markets, and one of the largest single-session deleveraging events in crypto this year. The analytical question is no longer whether Bitcoin fell on geopolitical news; it is whether the safe-haven narrative can survive an episode in which gold and Bitcoin moved…

The Bitcoin price is caught in an uncomfortable middle ground. Spot price on Kraken sits at approximately $75,800, down roughly -1.6% over 24 hours, while derivatives desks are running noticeably hotter, a divergence that rarely resolves quietly. What triggered Monday’s sharp intraday reversal from $78,000 to below $76,000 may surprise traders still focused on macro headlines. Galaxy Digital head of research Alex Thorn flagged on X that a “massive” $1.289Bn block sale of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) shares was executed through a dark pool at approximately 10:30 a.m. ET,…

Ripple to Expand with New DEX and Liquidity Provider Trademarks

Ripple filed two trademark applications on May 15, 2026, with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for various DeFi-related financial services, including decentralized exchanges and prime brokerage, under its corporate and XRP branding. This move signifies a strategic positioning across institutional finance, leveraging Ripple’s existing custody, treasury, stablecoin, and brokerage capabilities. The timing suggests a deliberate effort to create a branding layer over infrastructure that is already revenue-generating, indicating an upcoming buildout of application-layer DeFi on the XRPL. This news dropped as XRP USD fell around -2% overnight, slipping to…

Bitcoin News Today: Five Bitcoin addresses, all created on April 10, 2014, simultaneously transferred a combined 107 BTC, worth approximately $8.2 million at prevailing market prices, to the well-known burn address 1111111111111111111114oLvT2 on Monday, permanently removing the funds from Bitcoin’s circulating supply in a move that on-chain analyst Sani (SaniExp) was among the first to flag publicly. The synchronized timing, identical transaction construction, and deliberate locktime parameters ruled out coincidence almost immediately, sending observers across X into a cascade of competing theories about motive, identity, and intent. We suspect this…
