Bitcoin is likely to fall below $80,000 this week, according to digital assets research firm 10x Research. In a recent market update on X, the firm cited growing uncertainty over U.S. tariffs and rising inflation as key risk factors weighing on Bitcoin (BTC) and broader financial markets. The report highlights hotter-than-expected U.S. core Personal Consumption Expenditures data, which suggests inflation remains a concern.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is advocating for U.S. regulations to permit consumers to earn interest on stablecoins. Armstrong argued in an X post that allowing stablecoin interest would benefit consumers, expand financial access globally, and strengthen the U.S. economy. He explained that stablecoins are typically backed 1:1 by the dollar and held in low-risk assets like U.S. Treasuries.

Onchain interest as a ‘win’ for US consumers He argued that “onchain interest” could function like an interest-bearing checking account, giving users direct access to yields…
Coinbase has filed a motion in the D.C. District Court to resume its Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The exchange alleges that the FDIC continues to withhold crucial documents and is not fully cooperating with its information requests. This legal action seeks to obtain records related to the FDIC’s communications with banks regarding cryptocurrency activities, particularly concerning the so-called “pause letters” that instructed banks to halt crypto-related services. The lawsuit was initially paused in February 2025 following President Trump’s appointment of Travis Hill as acting FDIC chairman. Hill pledged to enhance the agency’s…

As Bitcoin flirts with near-term lows under $80,000, Fundstrat co-founder and managing partner Tom Lee believes the digital asset is setting up for a strong second half of the year. In an interview with CNBC, Lee said that despite recent price weakness, current conditions offer a good entry point for long-term investors. “I think so,” Lee replied when asked if now is a good time to be “stacking” Bitcoin (BTC). “Part of this was that Bitcoin seasonally was just not going to be attractive until after March ends. And now we’re finally exiting March.” Lee pointed to macroeconomic and political…
Crypto wallets enable you to send and receive cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum by keeping your private keys, which are the passwords that grant you access to your funds, safe and easily accessible.

The SEC published a formal Request for Information — an open call for public input on how to determine whether crypto assets should be classified and regulated as securities. It was the first real invitation in years for the broader crypto ecosystem to help shape…
