Bitcoin, Ethereum exchange supplies hit historic lows, signaling investor confidence

The post Tether’s USDT supply contracts on Ethereum and TRON appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tether’s USDT supply is contracting, after a $2.5B burn on the Ethereum network. The stablecoin just saw its biggest burn since February, potentially signaling liquidity outflows.  Tether’s treasury burned $2.5B worth of USDT tokens on July 7, the largest supply contraction since February. The Tether treasury destroyed $3.5B of tokens on February 10, as a response to general trading contraction and removing USDT from legacy networks.  As a result, Tether retains a $189.6B supply of USDT, mostly using Ethereum and TRON for transfers.  USDT is closely watched for the effect of Euro Area regulations, and as a general signal for the health of the crypto ecosystem. The supply burn also traces a larger trend in stablecoin liquidity. Active addresses declined by 36.2% in the past 30 days, according to Artemis data. Average daily stablecoin volume is down by 47.5%.  USDT and its closest rival, Cir

The post Predixa, a Decentralized Prediction Market from the TMX Ecosystem, Prepares July 2026 Launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Predixa, a decentralized prediction market developed within the TMX Ecosystem, is preparing to launch in July 2026. According to the project, Predixa has raised more than $5.5 million during its pre-launch funding phase — a period that coincided with a broad downturn in the crypto market, during which Bitcoin fell more than 50% from its October 2025 all-time high of roughly $126,000 to near $58,000. Predixa operates as a permissionless prediction market backed by an automated market maker (AMM). Users can create markets, trade on outcomes, and exit positions at any time. The permissionless model places it in the same category as prediction markets such as Polymarket, with any user able to open a market rather than relying on a central operator to list one. Alongside standard markets, the platform offers two additional formats: “Combo Predictions,” w

The post Vaneck: Saylor’s Strategy Sold $135 Million in Bitcoin Without Tapping Its $1.25 Billion Monetization Program appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Vaneck’s Matthew Sigel says Strategy’s $135M July bitcoin sale left its $1.25B monetization program untouched. Strategy sold 3,588 BTC for about $216M between June 29 and July 5 to fund preferred stock dividends. Sigel called Strategy ‘a hedge fund’ trading its own capital stack and bitcoin, saying he pays a low P/E for it. On Strategy’s Side, Somewhat Strategy Inc.’s (Nasdaq: MSTR) latest bitcoin sales did not count against the company’s previously announced $1.25 billion BTC Monetization Program, according to Vaneck Head of Digital Assets Research Matthew Sigel. That means the full $1.25 billion in board-authorized selling capacity remains available even after the company parted with roughly $135 million in bitcoin last week.
