TON Strategy Shares Flat as Toncoin’s Gram Catches Traders Off Guard

TON Strategy Company fell 1.4% to $4.17 on the Nasdaq late Tuesday morning, missing out on a big move higher in Toncoin. Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced the TON token will be renamed Gram. Shares ranged from $4.17 to $4.44, with volume at about 123,500 just after 11 a.m. EDT. Durov said “TON’s native currency is becoming Gram,” according to The Defiant. The token swap will take about three weeks and bring back the Gram name from TON’s first Telegram-linked white paper, The Defiant said.

BNB Price Today: Token Holds Near $635 as BNB Chain Update Lands Ahead of April 28 Hard Fork

BNB traded around $635 Thursday, with the token drawing renewed attention after BNB Chain rolled out a fresh software update. The move comes just ahead of a major network upgrade scheduled for April 28. BNB earlier peaked at $652.48 before retreating. Timing is tight: operators need to get version 1.7.2 up and running before the Osaka/Mendel hard fork hits. The fork—essentially a network-wide upgrade—demands coordinated action across the chain. According to Binance News, this release packs in nine BNB Chain proposals, six from Ethereum, plus two BNB-only adjustments targeting improved execution, more stable performance, and quicker final confirmation. That’s when transactions become effectively locked in.

Ethereum Price Today: Why U.S. Perpetual Futures Could Change Ether Trading

U.S. crypto exchanges are edging closer to rolling out regulated ether-linked perpetual futures—products that, so far, have stayed largely overseas—after Kraken struck a deal to acquire Bitnomial and regulators in the U.S. gave clearer guidance. Ether was changing hands at $2,337.50 early Thursday in New York, down from an intraday high of $2,421.06, building on a 3.5% jump from the previous session. Timing is key here. Perpetual futures let traders hold positions indefinitely, provided they stick to margin requirements. According to Coinbase, these contracts make up over 90% of global crypto derivatives volume, yet U.S. access is still limited even with solid demand. If the U.S. loosens up, ether trading could shift onshore and boost liquidity—but that would also mean

Tron Crypto Faces Fresh Scrutiny After Justin Sun Sues Trump-Linked World Liberty Over Frozen Tokens

Tron founder Justin Sun has filed a lawsuit against World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture backed by Trump associates, over access to 4 billion WLFI tokens—worth roughly $320 million, according to Reuters’ estimates. The dispute centers on World Liberty’s decision to freeze and threaten to destroy Sun’s tokens. CEO Zach Witkoff dismissed the legal challenge as “entirely meritless,” arguing the firm’s actions were necessary to safeguard its own interests and those of its users. This dispute hits Tron at a tricky time. Stablecoins—designed to track the dollar—anchor much of the network’s activity, with some $87.2 billion worth circulating on Tron as of Thursday, according to independent figures. CoinGecko puts TRX, Tron’s own token, at number eight among crypto assets by

Hyperliquid Crypto Gets New Distribution on Blockchain.com as U.S. Perpetual Futures Rivals Close In

Blockchain.com has rolled out Hyperliquid-powered perpetual futures in its DeFi wallet as of April 21, opening up a fresh path for retail traders to access the on-chain derivatives platform. The move arrives just as U.S. exchanges gear up to introduce rival offerings, anticipating a possible change in regulations. This is no small point: perpetual futures—perps, in the market’s shorthand—are leveraged contracts that never expire. Reuters put the 2025 volume at $61.7 trillion, dwarfing spot crypto trading. That scale helps clarify why wallets, brokers, and exchanges are all scrambling now.

FTX Crypto News Today: Sam Bankman-Fried Withdraws New Trial Bid, Keeps Appeal in Focus

Sam Bankman-Fried has dropped his bid for a new trial tied to FTX’s 2022 collapse, shifting attention back to his appeal of both the conviction and his 25-year prison term, a Manhattan federal court filing shows. In a note to the judge, the former FTX co-founder clarified that his law professor parents offered suggestions on the legal papers but weren’t the ones who wrote them. The filing trims away one of the remaining disputes in a case that’s stood as a touchstone for U.S. prosecutors going after crypto fraud. Meanwhile, the FTX estate continues to repay customers and other creditors, turning the story’s focus from crisis response to legal appeals and payouts.

Trump Crypto Today: Justin Sun Lawsuit Hits World Liberty as USD1 Push Faces Scrutiny

Justin Sun has filed a lawsuit in California federal court against World Liberty Financial, the Trump-linked crypto firm, claiming the company froze his WLFI tokens and went so far as to threaten to destroy them. The complaint, lodged this Tuesday, intensifies already high-profile legal tensions surrounding a prominent Trump family-backed crypto project. The stakes are high for World Liberty, which has been looking to move beyond WLFI token offerings. In January, it put in for a U.S. trust-bank charter. At that point, the company said its dollar-pegged stablecoin, USD1, had hit more than $3.3 billion in circulation. Last week, World Liberty rolled out terms restricting early investors from fully cashing out before 2030.

Crypto ETFs Today: Bitcoin ETFs Draw $336 Million, Ether Funds Extend Inflow Streak

U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs attracted $335.8 million on Wednesday, while spot ether ETFs added $96.4 million, marking another day of strong inflows as crypto-fund interest bounced back. Early Thursday, bitcoin hovered close to $80,000, recently quoted at $78,119, with ether trading at $2,351.36. Spot ETFs—publicly traded funds that mirror the token’s price—are now a direct gauge of traditional investor appetite for crypto. In the past seven U.S. trading days, bitcoin funds pulled in roughly $1.87 billion, while ether funds brought in another $474 million. All told, that’s $2.35 billion flowing into the two combined.

Bitcoin Price Today Nears $80,000 as ETF Inflows Return and Strategy Adds $2.54 Billion

Early Thursday, Bitcoin steadied near $78,100, pausing after a strong rally that briefly brought the $80,000 mark back into focus. The cryptocurrency had climbed to its highest point since Jan. 31, reaching $79,426 during the session before slipping back to $78,099. Reuters said the token hit $79,481 on Wednesday. Bitcoin's trading range has circled back to where it sat in late January, but this time, the menu for big players is wider. Spot bitcoin ETFs — these funds track the token itself, not futures — have landed, while corporate buyers like Strategy are showing up as another major demand force. Both camps were in play this week.

Bitcoin Price Nears $80,000 After Michael Saylor’s Strategy Beats BlackRock With $2.5 Billion Buy

Bitcoin hovered around $78,800 on Wednesday, making another run at that $80,000 mark after the U.S.-Iran ceasefire extension gave risk appetite a jolt and Michael Saylor’s Strategy revealed a fresh hefty buy. Shares of Strategy jumped roughly 9%, with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust adding about 5% during New York hours. Bitcoin’s rebound since April isn’t only about what’s happening in crypto circles anymore. Geopolitical shifts, renewed interest in exchange-traded funds, and the actions of a single company are all in play. According to Forbes, bitcoin has climbed nearly 30% after dipping to just above $60,000, pulling the market closer to thresholds that could attract momentum traders.

HSBC PayMe Stablecoin Rollout Could Bring Hong Kong’s First Licensed Tokens to 3.3 Million Users

HSBC plans to push a Hong Kong dollar stablecoin into PayMe and its main banking app in the second half of 2026, opening the door for more than 3.3 million users to spend regulated digital tokens on everyday payments. The move, which comes days after Hong Kong handed out its first stablecoin licences, gives the city its clearest mass-market test yet for bank-issued tokens. The timing matters. Hong Kong wants stablecoins — digital tokens meant to hold a fixed value against a currency such as the Hong Kong dollar — to move from a crypto trading tool into regulated rails for local payments, cross-border transfers and settlement of tokenised assets, or blockchain-based versions of traditional financial products. Regulators picked just

NYT Points to Adam Back as Satoshi Nakamoto, but Bitcoin Pioneer Denies Claim

On Wednesday, The New York Times named British cryptographer Adam Back as the leading candidate for Satoshi Nakamoto, bitcoin’s mysterious creator. Back, who runs Blockstream, was quick to deny the report on X, posting: “i’m not satoshi.” The timing is key here: Back is leading BSTR, a bitcoin treasury vehicle currently merging with Cantor Equity Partners I, a SPAC—essentially a blank-check shell. In a transcript filed with the SEC from a CNBC interview, Back said the deal was set for approval “about April.” That puts a direct market spin on the identity battle.

Why MARA Stock Is Swinging Again as Bitcoin Rebounds and Its AI Data Center Pivot Faces Scrutiny

MARA Holdings shares jumped Monday as bitcoin rallied, but investors remained divided on the miner’s planned pivot to AI data centers—and just how much bitcoin MARA might need to liquidate to bankroll the transition. By 5:28 p.m. EDT, shares were at $8.91, a gain of $0.44 on the day. Bitcoin hovered around $70,929, up roughly 4.5%. The issue is getting attention as AI firms scramble for dependable power sources, with crypto miners sitting on a chunk of that limited supply. MARA is making a play to turn its mining sites and energy holdings toward landing contracts for artificial-intelligence and high-performance computing jobs — those massive, energy-intensive workloads running behind cloud and AI platforms — instead of sticking strictly to mining.

Crypto Casino ZunaBet Takes Aim at bet365, Cloudbet as Online Gambling Splits in Two

Over the last few days, ZunaBet—a fresh face in the crypto casino space—has been promoted as a rival to legacy betting names. Blockonomi and CoinCentral rolled out direct matchups with bet365, following TheBodyLockMMA’s earlier head-to-head comparisons with Cloudbet and mBit. All this coverage highlights a growing split in the market: banking-backed giants sticking with cards on one side, crypto-only operators betting on speedier payouts and heavier rewards on the other. The timing is notable. On Feb. 26, Tim Miller, executive director for research and policy at the Gambling Commission, said the regulator wants to look at “the potential path forward” for using cryptoassets in licensed UK gambling—though he stressed safeguards must come first. At the same time, the Commission flagged

Bitcoin Price Near $70,000 as ETF Outflows Clash With ChatGPT’s $98,000 Forecast

Bitcoin stuck close to the $70,000 mark Friday, weighed down by two consecutive days of ETF outflows that stalled its earlier rally—one that had pushed the token past $75,000 earlier this week. The dip played out as crypto chatter picked up, with fresh calls everywhere from an AI-driven $98,000 year-end target to a Binance Square post touting $200,000. Right now, $70,000 is the battleground for traders. On Polymarket, the question of whether bitcoin would reach $70,000 or $73,000 first was already settled in favor of $70,000 — but with zero volume showing on the page, the price action itself has clearly eclipsed prediction-market activity during this move.

MARA Stock Price Today: MARA Holdings Slides as Bitcoin-Sale Shift Clouds AI Pivot

MARA Holdings dropped 3.3% to $8.29 in early Wednesday trading, trailing behind other major U.S.-listed bitcoin miners. Bitcoin dipped 1.3% to around $70,281. The stock stayed weak as a few competitors managed to hold steadier. Why does it matter right now? Investors aren’t just treating MARA like a pure bitcoin proxy anymore. The company’s 2024 annual report had pledged to keep its bitcoin stash intact, no sales on the horizon. Then, a March 2 filing landed: MARA’s 2026 roadmap now includes the option to sell some of the coins it already holds. That tweaks the calculus for anyone watching MARA’s liquidity story or growth pitch.

Circle Internet Group Stock Rises as New 10-K Reveals Heavy Reliance on USDC Reserve Income

Shares of Circle Internet Group climbed roughly 6.2% Tuesday, changing hands at $118.75 by midday in the U.S. The move came after Monday’s annual report showed just how much the USDC issuer counts on reserve income. Circle also submitted an S-8 for employee stock plans that day. Timing is key here: Circle’s sharp rally following its earnings has shifted attention toward the company’s business mix, not just how fast it’s growing. The 10-K spells it out—reserve income from stablecoin reserves accounted for 96% of revenue from ongoing operations in 2025, leaving Circle’s fortunes hitched to both interest rates and token expansion. Stablecoins, meant to maintain parity with fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar, remain central.

Kennewick Moves to Remove Bitcoin ATMs After Nearly $1 Million in Losses as Minnesota and Singapore Flag Crypto Scams

KENNEWICK, Washington, March 10, 2026, 08:30 PDT The Kennewick City Council is set to weigh a measure Tuesday that would kick all virtual currency kiosks out of town within 60 days, following police reports tying the machines to $923,771 in losses over 37 cases. These kiosks—Bitcoin ATMs—let users trade crypto for cash or debit. There are 16 locations dotted across Kennewick, mostly tucked into grocery and convenience stores. Already this year, police counted four cases totaling $132,840. A final vote or further discussions are penciled in for March 17.
