The United States is hosting the first direct Israel–Lebanon negotiations in years, with talks scheduled for Tuesday in Washington as President Donald Trump continues a high-profile diplomatic push across multiple global flashpoints, including tensions involving Iran and regional security concerns in the Middle East.
Key economic indicators and markets remain volatile ahead of the talks. Crude oil rose by 1.33% to $96.57 on April 10, while gold declined slightly by 0.38% to $4,748.20 amid shifting geopolitical risk sentiment. Treasury yields and broader commodity markets also reflected uncerta

Digital asset firm Tok-Edge has emerged from stealth with a $15 million valuation after raising $1.5 million in a seed round led by investor Marcus Meijer. The company now plans to target a $100 million first close for its flagship fund later in 2026 as it expands its tokenized investment strategy.
At the core of the model is Tok-Edge’s Redemption Token built on Ethereum, designed to bridge traditional finance assets with decentralized finance liquidity. The token acts as a transferable key that allows investors to redeem fund shares while also being tradable on secondary markets or usable in

Javier Milei came into power like a man who had already won the argument. Chainsaw in hand, ideology sharpened, and a dollarization plan that sounded, at least on paper, like the clean economic surgery Argentina had needed for decades. The plan had one problem nobody anticipated — the Argentine people were not interested.
In a country where the peso has survived hyperinflation, multiple defaults, and enough economic crises to fill a postgraduate syllabus, citizens looked at the U.S. dollar and shrugged. Milei opened the door

Javier Milei admitted his plan to dollarize Argentina has stalled, saying the biggest obstacle is that citizens simply don’t want to abandon the Argentine peso. Despite allowing transactions in U.S. dollars and offering tax incentives, Milei said most people continue using the local currency.
Milei had proposed a “currency competition” model, letting people freely choose between the peso, U.S. dollar, or even crypto. However, adoption remained limited, leaving the peso as the default for everyday transactions. He emphasized that dollarization cannot be forced and depends on voluntary public up

U.S. lawmakers are intensifying scrutiny of the Trump-linked TRUMP after concerns over conflicts of interest, volatility, and a token-gated political event tied to Mar-a-Lago. Senators Elizabeth Warren, Adam Schiff, and Richard Blumenthal launched an inquiry requesting details about the April 25 conference and whether insiders could financially benefit.
The investigation focuses on a token-gated access model where only the top 297 TRUMP holders can attend, with premium access for the top 29 wallets. Lawmakers flagged ownership concentration, noting entities behind the token reportedly control

For years, crypto operated in the space between the rules — fast enough to outrun the conversation, decentralized enough to make jurisdiction a headache. That era is quietly ending.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has unveiled members of its new crypto-focused Innovation Task Force, aimed at creating clearer rules for digital asset markets. The group will be led by Michael Passalacqua and includes legal and crypto specialists from both private practice and the agency.
CFTC Chair Mike Selig said the team’s goal is to establish “clear rules of the road” for blockchain, AI, and prediction market innovation. The initiative is part of a broader regulatory push to define oversight responsibilities between agencies as crypto adoption grows.
The move also ties into the p

Brian Armstrong has reversed course and is now backing the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act, saying “it’s time” for Congress to pass the long-delayed legislation. The endorsement came after Armstrong agreed with recent comments from Scott Bessent, who urged lawmakers to move forward with a regulatory framework for digital assets.
The support marks a shift from January, when Armstrong said Coinbase could not back the bill “as written,” leading to delays in the Senate Banking Committee. After months of negotiations between lawmakers, banks, and crypto firms, the updated version is now being desc

Bitcoin is knocking on a door it has knocked on before. The $76,000 resistance zone has become the most watched address in crypto — bulls pushing, sellers defending, and the rest of the market standing back waiting to see who blinks first. Analysts say a confirmed break above that level completes a bullish pattern and clears the path toward $84,000. But the market is not handing out confirmations freely. Fail to hold momentum here and the conversation shifts entirely, dragging Bitcoin back toward the $62,500 to $60,000 support region where a d

The number was encouraging enough to spark optimism, not enough to change anything. The Fed is staying put, and traders know it — the probability of an April rate cut sits at exactly zero percent.
Yet Bitcoin jumped anyway. A roughly 1.5% move carried price to around $7

Bitcoin is doing what it does best — making everyone nervous before making believers out of them. Price has been compressing above the $70,000–$72,000 zone for long enough that the market is starting to feel the tension, the kind of quiet before a crowd erupts. Bulls are not just holding the line, they are absorbing supply, stacking conviction, and waiting for the right moment to exhale.
That moment may arrive at $76,000.
A clean break above that level is the trigger traders are watching. Not because the number is magic, but because the liq

The White House warned staff against using confidential information for trading after suspicious oil futures bets appeared ahead of an Iran-related announcement by Donald Trump. Roughly $500 million worth of bets on Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude were placed minutes before the policy shift, after which oil prices dropped about 15%.
The incident has raised concerns about insider trading tied to geopolitical decisions. Existing rules under the STOCK Act already prohibit federal officials from using non-public information to trade commodities, futures, or options markets.

Changpeng Zhao says he hopes that within five years people will stop talking about crypto as a separate technology and simply use it as part of everyday life. In his view, blockchain and digital assets should become as invisible as the internet’s underlying protocols, where users rely on the system without thinking about how it works.
Zhao explained that just as people no longer discuss technologies like HTML or TCP/IP, crypto could fade into the background while powering payments, data storage and digital ownership behind the scenes. He believes that by around 2030–2031, blockchain could be e

XRP is currently attempting to stabilize after a short breakout move from around $1.33 to $1.35, but the price action suggests the market is still uncertain rather than decisively bullish. The move was supported by strong volume, yet it quickly lost momentum and settled into a tight range, showing that buyers are not yet strong enough to sustain a trend shift.
At the moment, XRP is essentially trading in a consolidation zone. The key level to watch is around $1.34, which now acts as immediate support for the short-term recovery. As long as price holds above this area, the structure remains mil

A new proposal from Avihu Levy suggests that Bitcoin could be made quantum-safe immediately — without a protocol upgrade. The method, called Quantum Safe Bitcoin (QSB), works within Bitcoin’s existing rules and is designed to stay secure even against quantum computers running Shor's algorithm.
Instead of relying on vulnerable elliptic curve cryptography, the scheme uses a brute-force hash puzzle that produces a valid-looking signature. This avoids quantum attacks but comes at a cost: each transaction would require heavy GPU computation, estimated between $75 and $150. Because of that, research

New research from a StarkWare researcher suggests quantum-safe transactions on Bitcoin could be implemented without a soft fork, though the method currently costs about $200 per transaction.
The proposal works within Bitcoin’s existing consensus rules and is designed as an emergency fallback in case quantum computers threaten traditional cryptography. It would allow users to move funds to quantum-resistant addresses without waiting for protocol upgrades.
The approach arrives as the community discusses BIP-360, which aims to introduce native quantum-safe signatures but requires network activati
