When it comes toBitcoin, one of the most common misconceptions is to think of a wallet as a bank account with a single balance. In reality, the protocol does not work that way: it does not register accounts, update balances or store a magic number that says ‘here is X BTC’. What actually exists are UTXOs, or Unspent Transaction Outputs, the individual outputs that have not yet been spent and which constitute the system’s true building blocks. BitVault makes this very clear in its in-depth analysis: the balance we see in the app is a simplification produced by the wallet,…

Morpho hasn’t just raised capital: it has demonstrated that on-chain lending is no longer a niche for crypto-native players, but a proposition that the sector’s leading venture capital firms now regard as infrastructure. The $175 million funding round, led by Paradigm, a16z crypto and Ribbit Capital, brings the protocol’s valuation to around $2 billion and marks one of the largest funding rounds ever seen in DeFi. The news is interesting not so much for the figure itself, but for what it reveals about Morpho’s positioning. The protocol, which began as a more efficient and modular alternative to traditional lending, is…

Anthropic has just raised the bar for artificial intelligence with the launch of Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5, two models that represent not only a technical advancement but also a statement of intent for the entire market. The news, published on 9 June 2026, reports a crucial development: the company claims to have made its most powerful model ever safe for general use, whilst maintaining very strict safeguards on sensitive topics such as cybersecurity, biology and chemistry. The point is not merely that Fable 5 is more capable than previous models. Anthropic states that it outperforms all its…

Michael Saylor has always sold an idea before an asset: Bitcoin as a balance sheet, Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, Bitcoin as a declaration of war on traditional finance. This is why the news that Strategy has sold 32 Bitcoins for around $2.5 million should not be read as a sudden breakthrough, but as the first visible sign of a financial structure that has become more complex than the narrative that made it famous. The figure itself is almost irrelevant compared to the size of Strategy’s treasury, which remains huge and dominant. But the market is not reacting to the…

In the midst of the global race for artificial intelligence, a signal comes from the Vatican that no government or Big Tech can afford to dismiss as folklore. Pope Leo XIV presented his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, dedicated to human dignity in the age of AI, and he did so alongside Christopher Olah, co-founder of Anthropic, in a scene that weighs as much as the document itself: the future of algorithms no longer only concerns laboratories, but invests politics, labour, education and even the very idea of the person. For those who observe the sector with technical eyes, the message…

When it comes to security in Bitcoin, many people think that the 12 or 24 words are the end point. In reality they are only the starting point, because those words are not the actual seed, but the readable representation of the original entropy from which the whole wallet is born. BitVault explains it well in its technical insight: the BIP39 mnemonic is transformed into a 512-bit binary seed via PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512, with 2048 iterations, and from there begins the chain leading to private keys and addresses. The key step is precisely this: the seed does not generate the addresses directly,…

When it comes to security in Bitcoin, the public almost always looks to the wallet, the multisig or the seed backup. But the uncomfortable truth is that it all starts before that: fromentropy, that is, from the initial randomness with which the wallet generates private keys. If that base is weak, nothing can really remedy the problem, not even the best hardware wallet or the best safekeeping procedure. This is precisely the central point highlighted by BitVault in its in-depth study: 128 bits of entropy, those typical of a 12-word wallet, are already considered sufficient against today’s practical attacks, while…

The momentum that Hyperliquid is experiencing tells more than just a platform rally: it tells how on-chain finance is trying to take over spaces that until yesterday belonged exclusively to translation desks, investment banks and private funds. In the week of 14 May, the aggregate open interest of the HIP-3 index hit an all-time high of $2.66 billion, up more than 800% since the start of the year and a share of close to 29% of Hyperliquid’s entire OI. It’s a figure that says one very simple thing: when the platform begins to host markets that lock in the pricing…

Polymarket launches markets on valuations of OpenAI, SpaceX and other private companies, opening a new frontier for price discovery and sentiment. Polymarket has just taken a step that pushes prediction markets out of the classical perimeter of politics, macro and crypto and into the heart of private finance: the valuations of unlisted companies. The platform, which is already the most widely followed thermometer for sentiment on real events, has introduced dedicated markets for companies such as OpenAI, SpaceX, Anthropic and other private companies, with the aim of letting traders trade probabilities on verifiable milestones such as IPOs, valuations and secondary…

We had the pleasure of meeting BitVault at the last edition of the PlanB Forum in Lugano in 2025, an event that gathered the most influential names in European Bitcoin. BitVault is a native Bitcoin open source wallet that combines multisig miniscripts with programmable time delays (2 hours-15 days), designed to protect HODLers from physical heists and digital hacks. Non-custodial, hardware-first and enterprise-ready, it positions itself as a universal security layer. Official website: bitvault.sv. Here is an interview with Francesco Madonna, CEO of BitVault. BitVault was born from a specific awareness: traditional wallets are no longer enough. Where does this…
