The Federal Reserve’s tightening of interest rates – the first in over three years of accommodative policy – has hit the cryptocurrency markets with unexpected force. The announcement of a quarter-percentage-point rise triggered an immediate fluctuation in prices, profoundly affecting both Bitcoin and Ethereum, which experienced heightened volatility in the hours following the US central bank’s decision. The news was immediately absorbed by the sector, generating mixed reactions amongst investors and traders, who were concerned about the new direction of monetary policy. Historically, cryptocurrency markets have shown a high degree of sensitivity to central bank moves, particularly when, as in…

Efforts to regulate the crypto sector in the United States have suffered a sharp setback: the Clarity Act, considered by many to be the most ambitious piece of legislation on the subject, was rejected by the Senate during the decisive vote. The cryptocurrency industry, which had long been awaiting a clear regulatory framework, has been plunged into a new phase of uncertainty, just as pressure from international institutions and financial players is mounting. News of the negative vote had an immediate impact on the markets, with a widespread decline affecting both related shares and assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.…

Revolut has confirmed that the sensitive data of 680 customers was compromised after it responded to a fraudulent request sent from an email address that appeared to belong to a legitimate government authority. The data involved includes names, addresses, telephone numbers, copies of passports and driving licences, verification selfies, bank statements, IBANs and complete transaction histories, including those involving Bitcoin. This was not a direct attack on the company’s systems, but a sophisticated case of impersonation: the person who sent the request had genuine domain credentials, and Revolut treated it as a legitimate request from law enforcement, providing the data…

During the All In Summit in Los Angeles on 14 September, President Donald Trump rang Jensen Huang live on air whilst the Nvidia CEO was on stage talking about artificial intelligence. Huang held the phone to his ear for about a minute before managing, after some technical difficulties, to switch it to speakerphone in front of thousands of people in the hall. The incident, captured on video by those present, went viral on X within a matter of hours. During the conversation, Trump dismissed the most widespread fears about artificial intelligence as a hoax, even going so far as to…

The news that Bitcoin and Ethereum have returned to the spotlight today is not solely down to market movements: CoinEx, one of the sector’s longest-standing exchanges, has announced its permanent closure after nine years in business, citing a scenario characterised by falling volumes, low liquidity and mounting pressure from global regulation. CoinEx’s exit from the scene marks a further tightening of the noose in a context where even long-standing players are not immune to the new challenges facing the crypto sector. In recent months, conditions in the cryptocurrency market have become increasingly difficult, driven by persistently weak prices and declining…

Symbiosis has returned to the spotlight after announcing the recovery of fifteen Bitcoin following an attack on one of its bridge services, an event that has shaken the entire DeFi ecosystem in recent days. The developers offered a reward of twenty per cent of the total amount to incentivise the hacker to return the remainder – a strategy that has become commonplace when the traditional hunt for the culprit proves ineffective. The incident highlights the growing vulnerability of cross-chain infrastructure, which is often a favourite target for malicious actors seeking systemic weaknesses. According to Blockaid, a company specialising in blockchain…

The cryptocurrency market has returned to the spotlight after new data suggests that Bitcoin must break through key resistance levels, with the $81,700 mark in the sights of analysts and investors. According to CryptoQuant, breaking through this level would confirm a sustained bullish trend, fuelling the expectations of those anticipating fresh momentum for the entire digital sector. In recent days, Bitcoin has been trading cautiously within a narrow range, as buying pressure clashes with profit-taking at recent highs. The situation bears similarities to the history of the crypto markets, where periods of consolidation have often preceded major movements. In this…

The new trading week got off to a positive start for Bitcoin and Ethereum, in a market that reacted to the US inflation figures without any major surprises. Whilst the Consumer Price Index rose, driven by energy costs, traders noted that the core figure – that is, the figure stripped of the most volatile components – remained on a downward trend. This has reignited investor interest in digital assets, which have historically been sensitive to the Federal Reserve’s decisions. Over the past few weeks, both cryptocurrencies have been the focus of renewed attention from analysts, who continue to highlight the…

Sam Bankman-Fried is back in the spotlight of the crypto world, asking the US Supreme Court to overturn his fraud conviction and the confiscation of eleven billion dollars linked to the collapse of FTX. The platform’s former founder claims he was denied the opportunity to present crucial evidence in his favour, which he argues is decisive in proving that FTX had sufficient resources to cover losses following the crisis. The appeal comes just a few months after the judgement that saw him at the centre of one of the most talked-about cases in the recent history of cryptocurrencies. The request…

The cryptocurrency ecosystem finds itself at the centre of a storm once again, following a wave of phishing emails sent from Trezor’s official domain after a data breach at the shipping provider ShipMonk. The attack has highlighted how cyber threats can affect even well-known companies such as Trezor and undermine user confidence, particularly at a time when vigilance and caution should be at their highest. The nature of the attack raises questions about the sector’s overall preparedness regarding the risks associated with the management of personal data and digital assets. Specifically, the breach at ShipMonk exposed sensitive data belonging to…
