For years, privacy in crypto has meant choosing a niche coin, but Unstoppable Wallet is setting out to change that. While Monero, Zcash, and Zano all promise real anonymity, none of them show up in a coffee shop’s payment terminal or a freelancer’s invoice. Stablecoins do. Unstoppable Wallet is bridging that gap with a new feature that lets users send USDT and USDC without exposing the one thing every crypto user assumed they had to give up: their entire financial history.I’ll admit, when I first read the announcement, I had to reread it twice, because it’s not often a wallet…

Most executives, including Michael Saylor, typically credit spreadsheets, bankers, or a lucky market window when raising billions, except this time, Saylor is crediting a chatbot.In a conversation that’s since rippled across finance and crypto circles alike, the Strategy founder claimed he used artificial intelligence to design a financing structure that, according to his own account, generated roughly $15 billion for his Bitcoin-holding company, something he says traditional bankers and lawyers told him couldn’t be done at all.The Claim That Stopped The InterviewSaylor made the comment during an August 6 appearance on The Diary Of A CEO, hosted by Steven Bartlett.…

Every browser you’ve ever used, until Cloudflare’s latest release, was designed around a fundamental assumption: a human is going to look at it. Tabs, themes, smooth scrolling, pixel-perfect rendering, all of it exists because eyes and hands are on the other end. Cloudflare just threw that entire assumption out the window.The company spent twelve weeks building a browser with no tabs, no themes, and no particular interest in looking good, because the thing using it was never going to see it the way we do. It’s called Kitesurf, and I think it might be one of the more quietly significant…

TLDR: Strategy Bitcoin purchase speculation returned after Michael Saylor posted the orange-dot chart with the caption “Doing ₿usiness” on Sunday. Strategy sold 1,638 BTC for $104.73 million through Aug. 2, using the proceeds for preferred dividends and discounted STRC repurchases. The company holds 842,138 BTC bought for $63.51 billion at a $75,419 average, placing the reserve near a $9 billion unrealized loss. Its $4 billion reserve and continued MSTR issuance provide several funding options, so Saylor’s post does not confirm a Bitcoin transaction.

Summary BIP-110 nodes will reject non-signaling blocks beginning at Bitcoin block 961,632.

As markets in Asia soared while Wall Street’s AI trade took a steep plunge, two of the world’s biggest markets moved in almost opposite directions today and if you only looked at one of them, you’d walk away with completely the wrong read on how investors are actually feeling right now. On one side of the Pacific, more than half a trillion dollars just poured into South Korean, Japanese, and Chinese equities in a matter of hours.On the other, Wall Street watched $680 billion evaporate in about 120 minutes, with the AI trade’s poster child taking the hardest hit of…

If you own a hardware wallet and you have spent the last few days worried, I completely understand. The recent Coldcard incident was serious, and real people lost real money, which is never something to wave away. One company made a serious mistake on one of the core jobs a hardware wallet has, generating solid randomness for the seed, and that has hurt a lot of real people. But at the same time, it was not a crack in the idea of self-custody, nor that hardware wallets in general can no longer be trusted. It is worth being clear about…

There’s a reason nearly every major crypto hack ends the same way: stolen funds bouncing across a handful of chains before disappearing into a pool of anonymized ETH.This week gave us a fresh, real-time example of exactly how that playbook works, as the address tied to the Triple-A exploiter moved millions straight into the crypto industry’s most notorious laundering tool, even after the U.S. government spent years trying to shut it down. I’ve watched this pattern repeat itself enough times now that it barely surprises me anymore, but the speed of it still does.A Fresh Deposit Reignites An Old QuestionBlockchain…
