An amended complaint filed by Mintvest Capital against Energy & Compute, LLC (formerly Coinmint) alleges that the firm’s chief exec, Ashton Soniat, misappropriated BTC from the firm’s mining operations.

Caterpillar CEO Joseph Creed disclosed his sale of $26.2 million worth of stock on Tuesday, after exercising an options package four and a half years early .  He sold 32,401 shares on the New York Stock Exchange on August 28, emptying his oldest outstanding tranche of options that had a March 2031 expiration date. The options had a $219.76 strike price — allowing Creed to exercise 72% below the current stock price that regular investors have to pay today. Creed’s proceeds of $26.2 million had a weighted average of $808.98 per share, slightly below the filing’s $812.98 valuation for shares surrendered to cover his exercise price or tax liability.

Even after the incredible payday, Creed’s August 28 sale only reduced his 2021-vintage options grant to zero. In addition, Caterpillar’s proxy fil...

Bitcoin (BTC) may be approaching a major breakout after a key volatility indicator reached its lowest level in nearly three years, a setup that previously preceded one of the cryptocurrency’s strongest rallies on record. The latest Bitcoin technical Analysis shows that the Bollinger Band Width (BBWidth) indicator has compressed to its narrowest level since October 2023. The setup is notable because the last time BBWidth reached similarly low levels, Bitcoin entered a powerful expansion phase, rallying more than 330% between October 2023 and October 2025. Bitcoin price analysis chart. Source: Barchart Over recent months, the Bollinger Bands have tightened significantly around Bitcoin’s price, pushing BBWidth, which measures the distance between the upper and lower bands, to its lowest level since late 2023.  Historically, such periods of compressed volatility often precede major price moves, although they do not indicate direction. The Analy...

The cryptocurrency market has struggled throughout October, a historically bullish month. The lackluster performance in October 2025 could be due to macroeconomic conditions, trade disputes, and slow economic growth. Ripple’s XRP token has also followed the market downtrend. However, things could change for XRP in the coming weeks. Let’s discuss why XRP could hit a new all-time high this November 2025. Reasons Why XRP Could Hit An All-Time High In November 2025 Source: Shutterstock The crypto market could pick up steam over the coming weeks, given that the Federal Reserve reduced interest rates by an additional 25 basis points earlier this week. Interest rate cuts often lead to cryptocurrencies seeing increased inflows as borrowing becomes easier. However, the market continues to glow red. XRP is struggling to regain the $3 price level. Investors may be taking longer than usual to build trust. We could experience a delayed rally from the rate cuts. Moreover, we may see sever...

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said X402, the online payments protocol that enables AI agents to transact over the internet, is ”growing like crazy” as transactions surged more than 10,000% in a month. When Coinbase launched x402 in May, it said that the protocol “fixes the internet’s first mistake” by resurrecting the Internet Communication Protocol’s Hypertext Transfer Protocol 402 to create a seamless payment system native to the internet.  The protocol makes it possible for AI agents and humans to pay directly in stablecoins while using a website or app. Transaction activity on the protocol skyrocketed in October.

SHA-256 became a trending topic last night on X after another round of quantum fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) spread across Bitcoin social media. According to a viral post, financial analysts at Standard Chartered published a recommendation to sell bitcoin (BTC) and buy gold on “credible rumors a quantum computer has cracked SHA-256.” Neither of those things actually occurred. No quantum computer cracked SHA-256 this week, and Standard Chartered didn’t recommend selling BTC for gold. The author admitted the source of the supposed news: “ Oh I made it up .” Laughing at gullible users on X, they commented on the post’s popularity, saying, “BTC community is really this stupid.” Emulating the side-by-side logo style of Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo, the original post gained over 30,000 impressions, quote-tweets in their thousands, and hundreds of likes. Is SHA-256 was cracked, Standard Chartered would be on fire dude https://t.co/zmd1jCCPqx — Bra...

Paxos co-founder Charles Cascarilla has framed the accidental minting of $300 trillion in PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin as evidence of blockchain transparency. “It underscores the value of the blockchain,” Cascarilla said during a Federal Reserve crypto roundtable. “It actually shows the transparency that you can immediately have into what’s going on. In this case, an operational error that was entirely internal to our systems is now immediately visible to everybody.”  He added that the the entire financial system could have the same level of transparency over time, something he called ”a really positive thing” that ”can create confidence in the financial system in a way that the opacity that exists today has really limited.” Cascarilla’s remarks come as regulators consider whether or not to grant Paxos a Fed Master Account.  PYUSD Market Cap Briefly Surpasses Global GDP  The Paxos blunder saw PYUSD’...

Jim Cramer told investors on Wednesday that crypto is “due for a push today.” Coming from one of Wall Street’s loudest voices, it sounded like a rallying cry. In crypto circles, though, Cramer’s enthusiasm is often read in reverse, a cue to be careful, not bold. Crypo due for a push today. We are in 2000 territory on specs. It is where the cockroaches are. But at the same time Jamie Dimon said the cockroaches are ending he announces a $1.5 trillion fund that unwittingly stoked a huge spec wave..

Coinbase has paid $375 million to acquire Echo, the investment platform founded by well known crypto OG, trader, and YouTuber, Jordan Fish, a.k.a. Cobie. The exchange’s CEO, Brian Armstrong, has also paid $25 million for an NFT that revives Cobie’s UpOnly podcast with co-host LedgerStatus.  Coinbase says it acquired Echo “to create more accessible, efficient, and transparent capital markets.” It also says that Echo will help projects raise capital directly from their communities via private sales or through a self-hosted public token sale using Sonar. “While we’ll start with crypto token sales via Sonar, we plan to expand support to tokenized securities and real-world assets over time, leveraging Echo’s infrastructure,” Coinbase said.  Cobie said, “Echo will remain a standalone platform under its current brand for now, but we will integrate sonar’s public sale product into Coinbase.” We started building Echo around 2 years ago in an attempt to try...
