Coinbase denies doxxing BTC-backed mortgage customer

Coinbase has hit back at claims that it doxxed a customer who made use of the exchanges first crypto-backed mortgage.　　During a June 16 event, at which Coinbase unveiled 21 new products, the company shared a photo of the house apparently backed by the mortgage, describing the owner as someone who owns a lot of bitcoin ($BTC).　　However, a critic soon claimed to have pulled up the buyer‘s Zillow listing — not ideal, given that $BTC’s parabolic price increase over the past 17 years and the fact that keys instantly confer ownership make owners appealing targets for thieves.　　Attempting to downplay any fears, a Coinbase spokesperson told Protos, During the exciting process of closing on the home, Coinbase and Better worked closely with the homeowner on a mindful way to share the news while maintaining their privacy.　　We received a picture of the house, taken by the homeowner, and took steps to anonymize the house by removing and changing key identifiers and features.　　“We then received their express permission to use the altered image in both Better‘s press release and Coinbase’s recent showcase.”　　Indeed, the house appears on a joint press release from Coinbase and the Better Home & Finance Holding Company, cross-posted to the companys

Bitcoin layer-2s face a bear-market reality check

When Botanix announced last week that it would be winding down operations, the Bitcoin layer-2 project did not try to sugarcoat its message.　　“It did not work,” the team wrote in a social media post announcing the shut down. “At least not in this market and not in this timeline.”　　Botanix was one of a number of projects pitching Bitcoin as a new frontier for decentralized finance (DeFi), staking, zero-knowledge rollups and smart-contract applications.　　Its conclusion was that “making Bitcoin programmable, productive and integrated into real financial activity isnt where real-world users sit right now.”　　Current market conditions might not be the most fruitful ground for investing in utility and programmability under the hood of the worlds original cryptocurrency. Bitcoins role as a store of value is what attracts the majority of investors, who may not be drawn to other potential functions of BTC when it is not performing its most fundamental one very convincingly.　　That raises an uncomfortable question: has the Bitcoin utility boom lost its shine？　　The data does little to dispel the skepticism. DefiLlama shows Ethereum with around $39 billion in total value locked, while Bitcoins onchain DeFi activity sits at less than $5 billion, despite its total market cap being four to

Here is how Coinbase plan to survive the crypto downturn by ditching its reliance on trading fees

Coinbases (COIN) latest product launch event may not have changed Wall Streets near-term earnings forecasts, but it reinforced a growing belief among analysts that the crypto exchange is steadily transforming itself into a broader financial platform with revenue streams that extend beyond bitcoins price cycles.　　At Tuesdays System Update event in New York, Coinbase unveiled products spanning derivatives, tokenized stocks, stablecoin payments, lending and artificial intelligence. While the announcements covered a wide range of businesses, analysts focused less on the individual products and more on what they reveal about the companys long-term strategy.　　For years, Coinbases fortunes have been closely tied to crypto trading activity. When bitcoin BTC$64,706.27 rallies and retail investors return to the market, trading revenue tends to surge. During slower periods, that revenue can fall sharply. Analysts increasingly view Coinbases product expansion as an effort to reduce that dependence.　　“The new features are aligned with the companys effort to become the everything exchange,” Barclays analyst Benjamin Budish wrote following the event, adding that the company is seeking to capture a larger share of customers financial activity as crypto trading volumes remain relatively subdued.　　Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Ramsey El-Assal struck a similar tone. While acknowledging softer conditions across crypto markets, he said

Exclusive: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP Price Predictions – Key Levels to Watch

In a discussion with Coinpedia, crypto analyst Kripto Holder shared his latest assessment of Bitcoin, arguing that the market is currently going through a phase of liquidity gathering and leverage reduction rather than a clear accumulation period.　　According to the analyst, the $65,000–$66,000 region should be viewed as an area where excess leverage is being flushed from the market. While Bitcoin holding above $65,000 as Open Interest declines is a constructive development, weak Spot CVD and a negative Coinbase Premium continue to point to a lack of strong spot buying activity.　　“Bitcoin is currently telling me: the market is clearing, but the uptrend is not yet confirmed.”　　The analyst believes Bitcoin still needs to reclaim the $67,000–$68,000 range and secure acceptance above $72,000 before a sustained bullish trend can be confirmed. Until then, he views the current price action as part of a broader market reset rather than the start of a new leg higher.　　Kripto Holder also pointed to recent market activity, noting that Bitcoin wiped out billions of dollars in long liquidations during the latest correction. Following the sell-off, spot whales reportedly began accumulating around the $62,000 level, helping drive the asset back toward $67,000.　　In addition, the analyst highlighted that roughly $8

Crypto PAC-backed Barry Moore wins Alabama GOP Senate runoff

Barry Moore won Alabamas Republican Senate runoff after more than $12 million in pro-crypto PAC support helped carry his campaign into the November general election.　　The race now becomes one of its clearest Senate bets this year.　　The result gives Fairshake-linked groups another win in the 2026 primary season. Moore defeated former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson in the race to replace Senator Tommy Tuberville, who is running for Alabama governor.　　Crypto PAC spending pays off in Alabama　　Unofficial results from the Alabama Secretary of State showed Moore with 55.80% of the vote, compared with 44.20% for Hudson. All 67 counties had reported results as of late Tuesday.　　Moore will face Democrat Everett Wess in November. Alabama remains a strongly Republican state, which gives Moore a favorable path after winning the GOP nomination.　　Defend American Jobs, a Republican super PAC tied to Fairshake, spent heavily to support Moore. The group reported $7.4 million in media spending before the May 20 primary and another $4.7 million before the runoff.　　Federal Election Commission records list Defend American Jobs as an active independent expenditure-only super PAC. The committee cannot coordinate directly with campaigns, but it can spend on media and ads.　　Fairshake spokesman Geoff Vetter said “our biggest spend of the cycle”
