The post Shiba Inu Burns 117 Million SHIB in Largest Single-Day Destruction in Six Months appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SHIB News Shiba Inu’s community permanently removed more than 117 million SHIB tokens from circulation on July 8, the largest single-day burn recorded in six months. On-chain data shows the tokens were routed to a dead wallet, a one-way address from which they can never be recovered. A single wallet tied to Robinhood led the activity, torching over 109 million SHIB in one transaction, with smaller wallets contributing the remainder through the session. The spike briefly revived the project’s deflationary narrative, yet it landed against a backdrop of broad altcoin fatigue. For holders of Shiba Inu, the burn underscored how community-driven supply cuts continue even when price momentum stalls. Despite the deflationary headline, SHIB has slipped close to 9% over the past month, holding a narrow trading band even after a modest weekly gain. Our reading of the tape

The post Exclusive Interview: Why Tangem Believes Self-Custody Is Entering Its ‘Active’ Era appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As crypto expands beyond trading into payments, stablecoins, tokenized assets and AI-powered applications, wallets are rapidly evolving. Tangem believes the next generation of users won’t simply store crypto, they’ll actively use it every day. CryptoDaily UK sat down with Tangem Co-founder, CTO and Head of Product, Andrey Lazutkin to discuss why self-custody is entering a new phase, what’s holding mainstream adoption back, and why wallets are becoming the operating system for on-chain finance. “Five years from now, people won’t think about self-custody as a technical feature. They’ll simply think of it as the natural way to own and manage their money.” Self-custody is becoming infrastructure, not just ideology For years, self-custody was largely viewed as crypto’s ideological cornerstone. But according to Andrey Lazutkin, that conversation has fundamentally c

The post India’s Central Bank Renews Push to Keep Crypto Out of the Financial System appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the country’s central bank, has reiterated its support for a cryptocurrency policy that favors a prohibition-oriented approach. The RBI wants banks and financial institutions barred from any exposure to crypto assets and privately issued stablecoins.   Why India’s Central Bank Leans Toward Crypto Prohibition The RBI has warned about crypto risks repeatedly and now argues for policies “leaning towards prohibition,” according to documents reviewed this week by Reuters. It wants digital assets kept outside the regulated financial system. Officials say the aim is to limit contagion risks to lenders. The stance revives a fight the RBI lost in 2018, when a court struck down policies that had effectively banned crypto dealings. Since then, digital assets have existed in a grey zone. Indian banks are currently allowed to engage with cryptocu
