Strategy can cover its debt and preferred dividends even if Bitcoin drops to $8,000 — down from current levels around $73,000 — a claim the company makes as gold advocate Peter Schiff steps up his warnings about its business model. A Model Built On Cheap Debt Schiff, speaking in an hour-long video on May 28, argued that Strategy’s practice of using borrowed money to buy Bitcoin is one of three interconnected financial pressures, or “dominoes”, that could unravel together. The other two, in his view, are the $39 trillion US national debt and a ballooning AI investment bubble. His argument traces back to a period of low interest rates that made borrowing cheap and encouraged large-scale speculation. That environment, Schiff contends, allowed Strategy to keep piling into Bitcoin while the federal government continued spending beyond its tax revenues and investors kept pouring money into artificial intelligence ventures.   Schiff pointed to Strategy’s ...

Investors’ confidence and interest in Cardano (ADA) and its network capabilities are rising sharply, particularly in the staking sector. While the price continues to face downside pressure, ADA is experiencing a significant increase in staking activity, a trend that allows for a more secure blockchain. Staking Activity On Cardano Accelerates Without a doubt, staking operations have become a huge and critical part of the Cardano network and its ecosystem. As its ecosystem sees persistent growth, ADA staking activity has spiked to notable levels, with a significant portion of supply being moved to staking contracts across the network. According to Everstake, the largest global non-custodial staking infrastructure provider trusted by millions, this part of the network is one thing that deserves serious attention, as it attracts broader participation. In the data shared by the provider, more than 21.75 billion ADA out of the total supply of 37.01 billion ADA is currently staked. Th...

Solana’s institutional footprint just got meaningfully larger, though the price action has yet to follow. Forward Industries, the Nasdaq-listed SOL treasury company, is set to join the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 indexes. The timing makes the update interesting because Solana itself is still fighting to recover stronger momentum . SOL is currently trading around $80, and although the $100 level is not far in percentage terms, the price action still makes that target look difficult . Solana Moves Into New Market Forward Industries, a publicly traded company that transformed from a medical product manufacturer into the world’s largest corporate holder of Solana, has announced it is going to join the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 indexes when FTSE Russell’s semi-annual reconstitution takes effect on June 29, 2026.

The Bitcoin price has been in a massive downward trend throughout this week. Data from CoinMarketCap shows that BTC has declined by over 6% in the last seven days and nearly 10% in just two weeks. A combination of factors has contributed to this negative trend, including massive outflows in Spot Bitcoin ETFs, the ongoing US-Iran wars, and growing selling pressure among whales and institutional investors.  Bitcoin Price Crashes Amid ETF Outflows And Rising Selling Pressure The market is seeing heavy volatility, as new factors place immense pressure on the Bitcoin price and the broader crypto market. According to crypto analyst Nic on X, Bitcoin recently crashed below the $75,000 support zone and is now sitting around its next critical support level, around $73,000.  The cryptocurrency had surged as high as $83,000 earlier this May, but was firmly rejected. Since then, Bitcoin has been on a steady decline. However, this past week has accelerated the downtrend, with the price droppi...

Bitcoin’s latest price action has turned into a fight for control around one of the most important areas. The price has been struggling to recover after falling back belo w $80,000, and the weakness is now taking place below two major on-chain levels that are converging at $78,000. On-chain data shows that the Short-Term Holder Cost Basis is around $78,000, while the True Market Mean is sitting close to $78,300. These two levels have now converged, creating a heavy ceiling just above Bitcoin’s current price. Bitcoin Is Stalling Below The Level Recent Buyers Need Most Bitcoin’s price action is currently trapped between two forces. One side is $74,000, where buyers are still trying to defend. The other is the $78,000 area, where on-chain valuation models are now meeting at almost the same point. The next break may decide whether the latest weakness is another range-bound dip or the start of a deeper correction below $70,000. According to data from on-chain analytics platform Glass...

With bearish pressure building across the cryptocurrency market, the Ethereum price is steadily dropping toward the $1,950 mark once again, a level last seen in March. Despite the altcoin’s declining price action and general unfavorable market conditions, large ETH holders seem to be holding onto their positions. What Ethereum Whales Are Doing In This Pullback Ethereum’s large investors have remained resilient in recent market sessions. While ETH’s price has struggled to sustain strong momentum, these key investors continue to hold on to their positions rather than aggressively reduce their exposure or sell off their coins. In a waning market environment, the activity of large holders is closely monitored as it typically provides more insight into long-term market conviction and sentiment among institutional investors. This trend is seen in the Ethereum Whale Vs Retail Delta metric, which has flipped toward the upside once again.  As reported by CW, a verified data analyst...

Bitcoin and XRP are often compared from a price perspective, but this is not the only lens through which they can be looked at. Both cryptocurrencies are native to first-mover blockchain networks, which have survived for more than a decade, have processed large amounts of value, and have built strong investor communities . However, both blockchain networks are also different in their operation , and that difference is where the comparison becomes very interesting. XRP Ledger Holding Up Against The Bitcoin Network Bitcoin is the first decentralized monetary network secured by proof-of-work, giving it unmatched strength as a store-of-value system. The XRP Ledger, on the other hand, was built for fast settlement, low transaction costs, and a payments-focused utility. Network reliability is the baseline by which any financial infrastructure is judged. Based on this measure, both Bitcoin and the Ledger carry strong records, but one has a better record than the other. According to da...
