In a week dominated by volatility, Worldcoin made headlines with sudden price dips that left holders holding their breath. But just as some investors were bracing for another wave of uncertainty, a different kind of crypto announcement stormed into the spotlight. Bitcoin Solaris, the high-speed, mobile-first blockchain project, confirmed its listing on LBank and dropped a surprise announcement that’s already sending shockwaves through Live Coin Watch Data. A 72-hour price rollback to just $5, timed perfectly before the listing, has traders scrambling for a piece of what’s quickly becoming the most talked-about coin in the market. Worldcoin Wavers, BTC-S Surges Worldcoin has certainly built its name on big ideas. With ambitions tied to global identity systems and eye-scanning devices, it captured attention early. But that attention often comes with price swings that make even seasoned traders a little nervous. While the project deserves credit for tackling ambitious goals, recent fluctuations have raised more questions than confidence. In contrast, Bitcoin Solaris is proving that speed, simplicity, and surprise can go a long way. Instead of pushing futuristic narratives, it’s delivering something tangible, immediate, and exciting, especially with a limited-time rollback that feels more like a flash sale than a crypto event. A New Era of Mining That Fits in Your Pocket Forget bulky hardware and soaring electricity bills. Bitcoin Solaris is ushering in a new era of mobile-first mining that anyone can access with the upcoming Solaris Nova App. Designed for efficiency and scalability, the app allows users to mine directly from their smartphones, no rigs, no overheating, just pure convenience. It’s already turning heads among GPU-weary veterans who want passive income without the pain. And the best part? The current mining model is backed by a high-throughput network capable of up to 100,000 TPS through its Solaris Layer. That’s not just fast, that’s lightning in blockchain form. You can even estimate your mining potential with the official Bitcoin Solaris calculator , giving users clear projections on earnings before they get started. In addition, Bitcoin Solaris introduced daily mini games for its holders for a chance to earn daily rewards, checkout all the details here. Core Features Setting BTC-S Apart What’s making Bitcoin Solaris the darling of Live Coin Watch this week isn’t just hype or the LBank listing . It’s the tech stack under the hood. Here’s why analysts and investors are jumping in: Dual-layer consensus model combining PoW for security and DPoS for performance. Validator rotation every 24 hours ensures decentralization and avoids monopolies. Dynamic block sizes up to 32MB and block time of 15 seconds on the Solaris Layer. Advanced smart contract support using Rust, compatible with Solana’s dev tools. Energy efficiency improved by over 99 percent compared to traditional mining. Crypto’s Next Giant Isn’t a Clone It’s Bitcoin Solaris Some of the most active crypto influencers are covering it too, including: A feature breakdown from Token Empire that highlights the speed and accessibility of the project. Token Galaxy showcasing the potential of the mobile mining model. Crypto Vlog analyzing the technical architecture in depth. And behind the scenes, Bitcoin Solaris has passed not one, but two audits one from Cyberscope and another from Freshcoins . That means trust isn’t just implied, it’s verified. The Presale Storm and the $5 Rollback With over 13,900 users already onboard and more than $6.3 million raised, the Bitcoin Solaris presale has already outpaced expectations. The presale is currently in Phase 11 with a price of $11 per token. However, for just 72 hours, the team is rolling back the price to $5, giving both new buyers and hesitant watchers a rare window to jump in before it returns to $11 and heads toward its $20 launch target. It’s rare to see a presale offer a rollback like this, and rarer still when the fundamentals are this strong. The 72-hour countdown isn’t just about pricing, it’s a test of who’s ready to take action. Less than 4 weeks remain before the listing. Already one of the shortest and fastest-moving presales in the market. Wallets like Trust Wallet and Metamask are recommended for seamless token delivery after launch. Built to Scale and Built to Last The architecture behind Bitcoin Solaris isn’t just flashy, it’s solid. With a Base Layer throughput of up to 3,000 TPS and a Solaris Layer pushing performance to 100,000 TPS, the system can handle mass adoption. Cross-layer transactions are synchronized through secure block commitments, while validator rotation prevents centralization and keeps the network fair. More importantly, the token distribution is smart and sustainable. With a fixed 21 million BTC-S cap, the tokenomics ensures long-term growth and community control: 66.66% allocated for mining 20% reserved for presale 5% for liquidity 2% for marketing, staking rewards, ecosystem development, and community rewards each 0.33% for the team and advisors This guarantees that the majority of BTC-S remains in the hands of actual users and miners, not locked behind private deals. Final Thoughts Bitcoin Solaris is pulling off what most projects only dream of. With a real-use mobile mining app on the horizon, dual-consensus security, and a high-speed blockchain that doesn’t compromise on decentralization, BTC-S is on a collision course with mainstream success. And with the LBank listing confirmed and a surprise price rollback live for just 72 hours, the timing couldn’t be better. Whether you're a seasoned miner tired of chasing hash rates or a new investor looking for a smarter way in, this is your moment. When the dust settles, you’ll either be part of the Bitcoin Solaris movement, or wishing you had been.

Tesla CEO and tech billionaire Elon Musk has confirmed that his newly launched political party, the America Party, will accept Bitcoin, marking a significant step for crypto in US politics. When asked on X if his party would embrace BTC, Musk simply replied , “Fiat is hopeless, so yes.” Musk is no stranger to Bitcoin, with Tesla holding 11,509 BTC worth around $1.26 billion , making it the ninth-largest publicly traded company with Bitcoin reserves. Tesla initially purchased $1.5 billion in BTC under Musk’s leadership in 2021, signaling early institutional confidence in the cryptocurrency. While Musk has often voiced support for Dogecoin, his embrace of Bitcoin for political donations places the cryptocurrency at the center of a growing conversation about campaign finance and decentralized money in US elections. Bitcoin for Political Leverage Samson Mow, founder of Jan3, noted that Musk’s decision could give him an edge over President Donald Trump in their ongoing public feud. Mow suggested that Tesla should resume accepting Bitcoin for vehicle purchases and that Musk’s SpaceX could consider offering discounts to customers who pay with BTC. In the past, Musk has shown a complicated relationship with Bitcoin. In 2021, he argued that Bitcoin’s price was “too high,” leading to a dip in its value. He also rejected the idea of using Bitcoin on Mars due to slow transaction times but later entertained the use of a localized Lightning Network to enable faster payments. Feud with Trump Deepens Amid America Party Launch Musk’s decision to form the America Party follows a heated disagreement with Trump over the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which Musk labeled “destructive.” The bill is projected to add $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, and Musk questioned how Trump’s initiatives could reduce the debt while simultaneously increasing it by trillions. After more than 1.24 million people voted on Musk’s poll, with nearly two-thirds in favor, he announced the creation of the America Party, stating that the US “needs a party that actually cares about the people.” He further criticized the US system as a “one-party system” when it comes to wasteful spending. In response, Trump has warned that Musk’s new party could fracture the Republican vote in the 2026 US midterm elections, escalating the tension between the two figures as Musk positions himself as a disruptive political force willing to bring Bitcoin into the heart of American politics.

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has made another major investment to boost its Bitcoin portfolio. According to the firm’s latest disclosure , it purchased an additional 2,205 Bitcoin ( BTC ) for roughly $237.9 million (34.49 billion yen). The tokens were obtained at an average cost of 15.64 million yen per bitcoin, approximately $107,800, now bringing its total holdings to 15,555 BTC. The latest purchase marks the firm’s largest single-day purchase since commencing its Bitcoin accumulation strategy, funded by a mix of bond issuances and stock warrant exercises. *Metaplanet Acquires Additional 2,205 $BTC , Total Holdings Reach 15,555 BTC* pic.twitter.com/VqKGOwCs6N — Metaplanet Inc. (@Metaplanet_JP) July 7, 2025 Just days prior to this acquisition, Metaplanet redeemed 6 billion yen worth of bonds issued in late June, using proceeds from newly exercised warrants. The company has consistently followed this approach, raising capital and converting it directly into Bitcoin to expand its treasury holdings. So far, the Tokyo-based firm has now spent a total of 225.8 billion yen, around $1.6 billion, on Bitcoin since beginning its treasury strategy, with an average cost basis of 14.5 million yen per BTC. This continues to build momentum toward its bigger goal of reaching 30,000 BTC by the end of the year, 100,000 BTC by 2026, and 210,000 BTC by 2027.

Two men have been sentenced to a combined 12 years in prison for a £1.5 million crypto cold-calling scam, amid a wider crackdown by the UK’s FCA on financial fraud and illegal promotions. On July 4, two men were sentenced to a combined total of 12 years in prison at Southwark Crown Court by His Honour Judge Griffiths for their involvement in a £1.5 million crypto investment fraud, following a prosecution led by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority. Raymondip Bedi, from Bromley, was sentenced to 5 years and 4 months, while Patrick Mavanga, from Peckham, received 6 years and 6 months. Raymondip Bedi and Patrick Mavanga have been sentenced to a combined total of 12 years for cold-calling victims to sell fake crypto investments, defrauding at least 65 investors.

At least 65 investors were defrauded, losing a total of approximately £1,541,799. The scam involved persuading victims to invest in bogus crypto consultancy services, exploiting trust and bypassing regulatory safeguards. Confiscation proceedings are ongoing to recover the proceeds of the crime. The FCA has urged any victims who have not been contacted to come forward via their dedicated helpline.

Mavanga was also convicted in November last year of perverting the course of justice. Their sentencing comes amid a broader crackdown by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority on illegal financial promotions and crypto-related fraud. In June, the FCA led a global enforcement campaign targeting unauthorised “finfluencers,” resulting in arrests, criminal charges, and hundreds of takedown requests for misleading social media content.

Russia is intensifying its crackdown on illegal cryptocurrency miners by launching a national registry of mining equipment, which would help identify unregistered operations. According to local media, Russian authorities have already compiled the registry and distributed it to regions with high mining activity. The initiative is a joint effort by the Ministry of Energy, the Federal Tax Service, and the Ministry of Digital Development, as part of a national strategy to legalize the sector and reduce unauthorised energy consumption. A national registry will allow the government to accurately identify consumers using electricity for mining purposes, according to Deputy Energy Minister Petr Konyushenko. He said this was necessary to ensure that crypto miners are subject to appropriate regulatory oversight and taxed in line with their actual energy consumption. Konyushenko has confirmed that the list has already been sent to regions with elevated mining activity, as plans to introduce this registry were already underway since early 2025. The Ministry of Energy initially proposed the plan for a national registry in February, which later received formal backing from the Ministry of Industry and Trade as well.

Since November, Russia has prohibited mining in ten regions until March 2031 to prevent blackouts during periods when electricity demand is high. The formation of the registry ties into Russia’s broader legal framework for cryptocurrency mining, which was adopted in 2023. Under the law, crypto mining has been permitted for Russian citizens, registered individual entrepreneurs, and legal entities. While individuals can mine without registration if they stay within government-set energy limits, businesses and sole proprietors are required to register with the Federal Tax Service. To encourage transparency and support adoption, Russia removed VAT on crypto purchases. Then, in a move to formalize the sector, the government also introduced a 15% tax on crypto mining profits, calculated based on the market value of mined assets. Despite the legal framework, many miners continue to operate outside official oversight, often tapping into residential power lines to avoid commercial tariffs. As of June 2025, only 30% of miners had registered with the FNS, Deputy Finance Minister Ivan Chebeskov disclosed in a report from the ministry last month. At the time, he said that the government was working to bring the remaining 70% into compliance, though no further details were provided on enforcement measures or timelines. Russia cracks down on illegal mining Over the past year, Russia has tried to keep illegal operations in check via targeted inspections and court-ordered shutdowns of unauthorized mining sites. As previously reported by crypto.news, in one of the largest cases to date, prosecutors shut down an open-air mining site in Krasnoyarsk Krai that operated on state-owned land under false documentation. The site spanned 30,000 square metres and generated roughly 4.6 million rubles ($58,000) in revenue per month. Officials have also reported instances of utility workers accepting bribes to overlook illegal connections and hackers exploiting smart home devices to build covert mining networks.

Samsung Electronics is anticipated to report a 39% decline in second-quarter operating profit, primarily due to delays in supplying advanced memory chips to AI chip leader Nvidia. The leading memory chipmaker is projected to post an April–June operating profit of 6.3 trillion won ($4.62 billion), marking its weakest result in six quarters, according to LSEG SmartEstimate. Analysts noted that Nvidia’s slow approval process for a new version of Samsung’s high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips has added to the delay. The prolonged dip in earnings has heightened investor concerns over Samsung’s ability to keep pace with smaller rivals in the race to produce cutting-edge HBM chips for AI-driven data centers. Several of Samsung’s major businesses face uncertainties due to Trump’s tariff policies Samsung’s top competitors, the semiconductor makers SK Hynix and Micron, have made the most of the strong demand for memory chips necessary for AI. On the other hand, its gains in this market have been muted as it relies on the Chinese market, where the United States has constrained sales of high-end chips. Analysts say a key hurdle has been the sluggish approval process for Samsung’s HBM3E 12-high chips by Nvidia. Ryu Young-ho, a senior NH Investment & Securities analyst, noted that HBM revenue likely remained flat in Q2 due to continued US sales restrictions in China and the lack of significant shipments to Nvidia. He further mentioned that Nvidia’s shipment will undergo some changes this year. According to Ryu, Samsung is not expected to send a large amount of the new chip to the prominent tech company this year. Samsung, which projected in March that real progress over its HBM chip was due as soon as June, declined to comment on whether its HBM 3E 12-layer chips successfully went through Nvidia’s qualification process. In June, Nvidia announced that the South Korean firm had started sending the chip to AMD. Nonetheless, analysts have argued that sales of Samsung smartphones should stay strong, as buyers’ demand for stock increased before US tariffs on imported phones could rise. Still, several of Samsung’s major businesses, including chips, smartphones, and home appliances, are dealing with business uncertainty due to a host of US trade policies. This includes President Donald Trump’s threat of a 25% tax on non-US-made smartphones and a July 9 deadline for “reciprocal” tariffs against most of its trading partners. The US is also reportedly weighing whether to revoke the licenses it has given to global chipmakers, including Samsung. This makes the situation even more complicated and threatens to decline Samsung’s sales further. The US intends to revoke the semiconductor firms’ licences In June, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) reportedly considered revoking licenses previously granted to global semiconductor companies—including Samsung, TSMC, and SK Hynix—that allow access to American goods and technology for use in their Chinese manufacturing operations. Sources familiar with the matter said such a move would significantly hamper these firms’ ability to source critical equipment for production lines in China. A White House official noted that the measure was part of contingency planning in case tensions with China escalated. While the administration hopes the trade deal remains intact and rare earth exports from China continue as expected, the official emphasized that the US wants to keep this option on the table should diplomatic relations deteriorate. Amid these developments, US chip equipment makers with strong ties to China saw their stock prices fall. KLA Corp dropped 2.4%, Lam Research declined 1.9%, and Applied Materials lost 2%. In contrast, shares of Micron—one of Samsung and SK Hynix’s main rivals in the memory chip sector—rose by 1.5%.

The post Bitcoin Crash to $70K? Analyst Warns of Massive Sell-Off Ahead appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Veteran crypto trader Capo of Crypto has just doubled down on his warning that Bitcoin could soon see a huge drop to as low as $70,000. Despite Bitcoin staying above $100K for now, Capo says big hidden moves and fresh global risks could break this key level and spark a massive sell-off. Here’s why he’s not backing down from his bearish call and what could trigger the next big shake-up. Altcoins Fallen 30% – 50% While Bitcoin has managed to hover around $108,000, most altcoins have already seen heavy losses, falling 30% to 50% from their May peaks. According to Capo, this drop was no surprise , he called it perfectly and has continued to add to his short trades, especially focusing on altcoins he believes have more downside ahead. But here’s where it gets more interesting: Bitcoin is still holding above $100,000, mainly due to institutional investors accumulating BTC for their reserves, which creates steady buying pressure. However, he finds it odd that with all this buying, Bitcoin’s price hasn’t soared higher. “Something feels off,” he says, suggesting that bigger whales may be quietly selling at these levels. Dormant Bitcoin Wallets Come Alive Adding to the uncertainty, several old Bitcoin wallets from the Satoshi era have suddenly become active, moving over 80,000 BTC, worth nearly $8.7 billion, after 14 years. It’s unclear if these coins will be sold, but Capo sees this as a sign that large holders might be distributing, not accumulating, at current prices. Bitcoin To Drop To $70k, IF! What makes Capo even more bearish is his view that if Bitcoin breaks below the $100K level clearly, it could soon drop to the next support area around $92K–$93K. Making this even worse, a deeper slip could drag BTC to $60K–$70K, and altcoins might collapse another 50%–80% in a panic sell-off. China–Taiwan Tensions Loom Large One trigger he points to is the China–Taiwan conflict, which he says is quietly reaching a dangerous point. Any disruption in Taiwan’s vital chip supply could shake global markets and push investors to panic, and crypto won’t be safe. As of now, bitcoin is shying away from its all-time high, currently trading around $108,912 , reflecting a rise of 1% seen in the last 24 hours, with a market cap hitting $2.16 trillion.
The post Was the Ripple Lawsuit Designed to Keep XRP’s Price Down? 9,000-Hour XRP Researcher Speaks appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News A crypto expert, Jesse from Apex Crypto Consulting, recently discussed the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit. After spending over 9,000 hours researching Ripple and the global financial system, Jesse shared his thoughts and said the lawsuit might not be what it seems. According to Jesse, the legal battle between Ripple and the SEC is more like a carefully planned show. He feels it’s being used to control XRP’s price and allow Ripple to quietly build strong partnerships around the world. Jesse explained that in his view, Ripple isn’t just an ordinary crypto company and it is closely connected to powerful global financial groups like central banks and the IMF. In his opinion, Ripple’s long-term goal is to make XRP a global reserve currency that can replace traditional payment systems like SWIFT. He also pointed out that, in history, leaders who tried to change the global money system even slightly faced major consequences. But Ripple continues to grow without anyone stopping them, which makes him believe they might be working alongside the biggest financial powers in the world. On the lawsuit itself, Jesse claimed it serves multiple purposes. One, he said, is to keep XRP’s price lower for longer, allowing Ripple to strike deals with partners and build a global payments network quietly. He added that there’s evidence Ripple has signed hundreds of NDAs and agreements with financial institutions, which benefit from lower XRP prices until a possible future price surge. However, Jesse made it clear that these are his personal opinions based on years of research. Where the Lawsuit Stands Now At the moment, the Ripple vs. SEC case is in its final stage. Both sides are waiting for the court to decide on penalties and other final details. Recently, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced that the company is dropping its cross-appeal, which could help speed up the end of this long-running case.
