Bank of England warns on AI scams as deepfakes of Farage-Bailey fight spread

Cardano’s total value locked dropped close to 30% in June, sliding from $129 million to $92 million — a fall that closely tracks ADA’s own price decline of 27% over the same stretch. Yet one platform inside the ecosystem is pushing back hard against the idea that the network is finished. DexHunter, a Cardano-based DEX aggregator, took to X to argue that the blockchain is more alive than ever, citing a sharp spike in trading activity as proof that user engagement remains strong despite ADA’s price weakness.

DexHunter attributed that spike to heavy trading in tokens including NIGHT, STRIKE, and SNEK, as well as stablecoins such as USDCx. Volume has since retreated to around 7.45 million ADA, down 11% in the most

A cryptocurrency analyst has highlighted how the $0.90 XRP level aligns with the support level of a long-term pattern in the asset’s monthly price. XRP Has Potentially Been Following A Long-Term Ascending Triangle In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has shared a technical analysis (TA) channel forming in the 1-month price of XRP. The pattern in question involves two trendlines: a flat upper level and an upward-facing lower level. A channel involving converging trendlines like this is popularly known as a triangle. In the case of this particular triangle, the setup resembles that of a specific type: the Ascending Triangle. The fact that the lower level has a positive slope means that as the price trades inside an Ascending Triangle, its range shrinks to a net upside. This is the reason behind the pattern having “ascending” in its name.

Jiang Zhuoer, CEO of BTCTOP and one of China’s best-known Bitcoin mining figures, pushed back against fears that Strategy could become a major forced seller of BTC, arguing that the company’s balance-sheet risk remains manageable even under a severe Bitcoin drawdown. In a post on X, Jiang said he does not believe MicroStrategy, now Strategy, will “substantially net sell BTC,” pointing to a group discussion he shared on the company’s liabilities, STRC interest payments, funding structure and market concerns. The comments come as investors debate whether Strategy’s Bitcoin-backed capital markets model could come under pressure if BTC weakens further or if demand for STRC remains fragile. Bitcoin Panic Over Strategy Overblown? At the center of Jiang’s argument is the distinction between selling some Bitcoin and becoming a net seller of Bitcoin. He argued that a limited sale of older, low-cost BTC could be used to demonstrate realized investment gains, support STRC-related payments and rea

Monday’s Bitcoin (BTC) rebound—pushing back above the $63,00 area—has revived a major question: was last Friday’s drop to $59,000 the bottom for BTC?  Seeking to answer that, market analyst Ali Martinez released a new technical note on X (formerly Twitter), arguing that Bitcoin appears poised to reach a market bottom while a “major macro accumulation cycle” begins to form. Why The Sell-off Could Signal A Bottom In Martinez’s view, BTC’s decline to its lowest level since 2024 served as an important cleansing function for the market—effectively shaking out “overleveraged premiums” across the board.  That type of flush, Martinez argues, is often what makes bottoms possible: it removes leverage stress and forces late and speculative positions to unwind.
