The SEC has opened a public comment period on Cboe BZX Exchange’s proposal to list six daily 3x leveraged Bitcoin and Ethereum futures ETFs. The proposal, filed under SR-CboeBZX-2026-065, would cover commodity-pool products sponsored by Volatility Shares. The funds would seek three times the daily performance of front-month and next-month CME Bitcoin and Ethereum futures contracts, using daily reset mechanics. That is a very different product from a spot ETF. A 3x leveraged futures ETF is built for short-term tactical exposure. It is not a simple buy-and-hold wrapper for Bitcoin or Ethereum, and its daily reset structure can create performance…

Bitcoin was front and center on my timeline when two completely different stories collided into one, and honestly, the timing couldn’t have been more fitting. On one side: Bitcoin just ripped through short sellers so hard it produced the largest short liquidation event crypto has ever recorded. On the other: a very public Twitter fight over whether a trader who claims he lost millions on a Bitcoin short was even trading with real money in the first place. Put them side by side, and you get a pretty honest snapshot of what crypto Twitter actually looks like on a day…

Investor Chamath Palihapitiya issued a warning in an X post on Thursday. He argued that the political finger-pointing surrounding the construction of AI data centers could lead to the loss of 200 to 300 basis points of annual US GDP if the fighting continues.  Chamath pointed to backlash from states like Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania as early signs of a situation that could spread across the United States. What did Chamath call a powder keg?  Palihapitiya is a Silicon Valley venture capitalist and has painted the state-level fights over AI data centers as a national economic risk. In an August…

Arch Lending co-founder Himanshu Sahay has identified qualified custody, zero rehypothecation, and clear collateral rules as three safeguards needed to reduce risks in Bitcoin-backed lending. Summary Bitcoin-backed loans give long-term holders access to cash without requiring an immediate sale. Sahay said independent custody and zero rehypothecation can limit operational and counterparty risks. Borrowers still face interest charges, margin calls and liquidation when Bitcoin’s price falls. Celsius, BlockFi, and Genesis showed how opaque lending structures can leave customers exposed. Himanshu Sahay, co-founder and chief technology officer of Bitcoin-backed lending platform Arch Lending, told crypto.news that wealthy Bitcoin holders are increasingly using…

POL is sitting at the center of a genuinely strange puzzle in plain sight: a token that burns more than it issues, has zero unlocks left, zero vesting overhang, and has been trading openly for seven full years, yet still can’t get its fully diluted valuation above $700 million. Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal put those numbers out there this week, and instead of settling the debate about POL’s tokenomics, he ended up starting a much bigger one about whether crypto Twitter even wants to look at data anymore.The Numbers Sandeep Put On The TableSandeep laid out the core claim plainly:…

Six weeks ago, Robinhood Chain didn’t have a stablecoin ecosystem worth mentioning. Now it has three competing for dominance, and the combined total has blown past $650 million, a scale most Layer 2 networks take years to reach, not weeks. What’s happening here isn’t just a number going up, it’s a genuine three-way contest over which kind of dollar wins on a brokerage-built blockchain, and the answer says a lot about where retail crypto liquidity is actually heading.The $650 Million Number, And Where It Came FromAccording to on-chain analytics platform Token Terminal, Paxos’ USDG, Ethena’s USDe, and Arcus’ arcUSDG have…

Some crypto disputes fade quietly after the initial outrage cycle passes, but the ongoing case involving Gate.io user @jheioff has simmered for weeks before boiling over into a public, six-figure bounty for information following a $1.7 million theft claim against the exchange. This week, Jheioff put real money behind the frustration, offering $100,000 out of pocket for leads that could crack the case open, and pointedly noted that Gate.io has gone quiet on the matter entirely.How This Case Actually StartedTo understand why this bounty matters, it helps to go back to where the whole thing began. In early July, Jheioff,…

TLDR: Citi Bitcoin custody will launch later in 2026, giving institutional clients access to Bitcoin and traditional asset safekeeping through one framework. The Custody+ platform will connect custody with faster settlement, foreign exchange, and cash management services for Citi institutional clients. Citi says over 80% of custody event volume now processes in real time, while 96% of U.S. voluntary events finish within two hours.

Citigroup plans to launch Citi Bitcoin custody later in 2026 through its new Custody+ platform. The service…
