The post A Dangerous Threat Faces Bitcoin, XRP, ETH and SOL, Alphractal CEO Warns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Joao Wedson, founder and CEO of Alphractal, issued a sharp warning on July 7. His diagnosis is direct: unliquidated long positions now dominate Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL). Here is what the threat means, how it could hit prices, and what other analysts project next. What Threat the Alphractal CEO Is Flagging An unliquidated long is a leveraged bet that a price will rise, one that has not yet closed or been forced to sell. Wedson warns that these positions now dominate the market for the largest cryptocurrencies after a recent weak advance. The analyst’s message is blunt. Any slip in the coming hours could hand control to the bears. As a result, a fresh wave of fear and liquidations could sweep across the entire crypto market. The situation is especially delicate for ETH, SOL, and XRP. Those assets saw a massive buildup of longs over the past 30 days.

This is Part 3 in the technical article series about Bitcoin covenants by Cointelegraph Research. To read the previous article click here. SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT, as proposed in BIP 118, builds on the earlier SIGHASH_NOINPUT concept mentioned in the 2015 Lightning Network paper by Joseph Poon and Thaddeus Dryja, and later formally proposed by Joseph Poon on the bitcoin-dev mailing list in February 2016. SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT is not a new opcode but a proposed new value for the SIGHASH flag, designed to be deployed as a soft-fork upgrade to Bitcoin. The SIGHASH flag is appended to a signature and determines which parts of a transaction are signed and will be checked by the CHECKSIG opcode. The selected flag is chosen by the signer, not enforced by the scriptPubKey. Due to the technical details related to upgradability in a softfork, the SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT proposal only extends to spends fr

The Digital Chamber, a lobbying organization for the crypto industry, has filed an expert amicus brief with the New York State Supreme Court, urging the court to dismiss a lawsuit seeking to classify 3.8 million BTC as “abandoned property.” The reason for the lawyers’ emergency intervention was an unprecedented lawsuit filed by an anonymous claimant, identified in court documents under the judicial pseudonym Noah Doe, who is trying to use New York’s 1958 lost-property law, Personal Property Law Article 7-B, to obtain rights to 39,069 inactive crypto wallets.

The post Binance Rolls Out BTC Yield: Covered Call Strategy Targets Bitcoin Holders’ Income Demand appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin holders sitting on idle spot balances now have a fresh reason to keep their coins on Binance. On Tuesday, the exchange introduced BTC Yield, a covered call strategy designed exclusively for users who already hold Bitcoin, the original report from CoinDesk confirmed. The product arrives as crypto exchanges intensify competition for yield‑seeking capital, a segment that has reshaped the market since decentralized finance protocols first demonstrated the appetite for passive income on digital assets. BTC Yield employs a covered call options structure. In traditional finance, selling covered calls generates premium income against an existing stock position by capping upside beyond a set strike price. Binance appears to be applying the same logic to Bitcoin, likely using out‑of‑the‑money call options on Bitcoin futures or spot‑backed derivatives. Th
