Bitcoin recovers instantly after Iran war crashes price but one Monday number could flip the next move
Bitcoin demonstrated resilience, recovering swiftly from weekend geopolitical shocks related to Iran, trading back near $64,000. This rapid rebound highlights Bitcoin's role as a 24/7 macro risk valve, particularly during low-liquidity hours.

A growing inheritance crisis is emerging for Bitcoin holders, with a significant portion of early adopters' wealth potentially becoming inaccessible to heirs by 2026.

The model, based on four prior cycles, indicates a lengthening time to reach the cycle low. Uncertainty remains high regarding the subsequent recovery and the next halving price.
XRP Ledger nearly shipped a feature that could drain accounts without owners signing
A critical security vulnerability in a proposed XRP Ledger (XRPL) "Batch" amendment could have allowed unauthorized account draining and ledger modifications without owner signatures. The flaw was identified by researchers and an AI tool before activation, averting a significant security incident.
