The post Bitcoin Mining Stocks Sink 20% – How Did BTC Price Avoid the Damage? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin mining stocks have fallen roughly 20% as investor enthusiasm for AI and semiconductors cools, according to a July 7 report from 10x Research. Bitcoin (BTC) itself has largely sidestepped the damage. The research firm argues that miners now trade as AI infrastructure companies rather than Bitcoin proxies. Their shares respond to chip supply chains and compute demand instead of crypto market signals. Bitcoin Mining Stocks Now Trade Like Semiconductor Plays According to the report, mining equities have largely decoupled from Bitcoin after a sharp rally and an equally sharp reversal. The firm’s data shows Riot Platforms (RIOT) moving in step with the semiconductor SOX ETF since April 2026. Both recently retreated from their highs together.

Phemex’s 2026 report reveals dominance in derivatives, AI adoption, and new tokenized stock offerings. Here’s the breakdown.
Phemex, a leading crypto exchange, has released its mid-2026 performance report, revealing a significant focus on derivatives trading, declining reserves, and a growing push into AI-driven tools and tokenized stock offerings. Daily perpetuals (perps) trading volume averaged $1.69 billion—2.41 times the spot market’s $0.70 billion average—underscoring Phemex’s positioning as a derivatives-first platform. Volume Peaks Tied to Market Turmoil Both spot and perps volumes spiked on February 6, 2026, as Bitcoin dropped 14.1% to its yearly low of $62,800, triggering heightened trading activity. On that day, spot volume surged to $1.19 billion, while perps hit $2.71 billion, their highest single-day level. While spot trading
The post Radar Chat Wants to Make Sending Bitcoin as Easy as Firing Off a Text appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
In brief Radar Chat launched Tuesday, combining encrypted messaging with Bitcoin payments. The app uses the Signal Protocol but was developed independently from Signal. Radar says users remain in control of their Bitcoin, which is sent via the Lightning Network. A new app from the team behind Cake Wallet brings Bitcoin payments directly into private messaging. Launched Tuesday, Radar Chat combines end-to-end encrypted messaging with self-custodial Bitcoin payments via the Lightning Network, allowing users to send Bitcoin via text messages without having to switch apps or copy wallet addresses. “The idea behind Radar is that the people we talk to and the people we pay are often the same people, yet messaging and payments still live in separate places,” Radar Chat and Cake Wallet founder Vikrant Sharma told Decrypt. Available on iOS and Android, Radar—which the company clar
The post Bitcoin Records Worst June in Four Years – Is a Cyclical Bottom in Play? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
With BTC reclaiming the $60,000 level on July 1, market experts believe the plunge may have been a failed breakdown rather than a sustained leg lower. On-chain data has confirmed that June was a painful month for bitcoin (BTC), but beyond the price weakness, both spot demand and institutional flows faltered. Due to last month’s performance, there is speculation that the market may be nearing a cyclical bottom, but this remains unconfirmed. In the meantime, analysts at the crypto exchange Bitfinex revealed in this week’s Bitfinex Alpha that historical data suggests that July could be better for BTC. However, a seasonality dynamic will not be able to sustain a recovery for BTC this month – the asset needs sustained spot and institutional demand. Worst June in 4 Years BTC fell to a fresh cycle low of $57,800 last month, marking the worst June since 2022 and the second-w
The post BlackRock put $209M behind Bitcoin’s rebound but can it last? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs turned positive again on July 6, and the clearest question for Bitcoin is whether BlackRock’s IBIT provided a sustained bid or just a single day of relief after recent selling pressure. Farside Investors’ Bitcoin ETF table showed $265.7 million of net inflows across the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF complex, with BlackRock’s IBIT adding $209.4 million. That left IBIT as the swing buyer, while Grayscale’s GBTC still posted a $44.5 million outflow and Grayscale’s lower-fee BTC product added $42.3 million. A WuBlockchain post citing SoSoValue rounded the total Bitcoin ETF inflows to $266 million and IBIT to $209 million. On X, the data quickly sparked a debate between BlackRock buying again and a single green day that could fade if redemptions return.

The post BTC Rejected at $65K: Is $62.5K Support Next? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
BTC faces $62,500-$62,800 support after rejection near $65K, with $60K in view if the daily close breaks lower. Bitcoin has moved back into focus after a rejection from the $64,500 to $65,000 resistance zone, where buyers failed to secure a clean breakout above the recent local high near $64,700. The move followed a short-side take-profit event from the previous session, after which BTC advanced sharply as spot buying increased while open interest declined across derivatives markets. Market data described by traders suggests that short positions were closed during the rally, while spot demand played a stronger role in driving price action inside the current range. The next area being watched by bulls is the $62,500 to $62,800 support zone, as a daily close below this level could expose Bitcoin to a deeper move toward $60,000.. BTC Rejected Near $65K Resistance Bitcoin met selling pressure betwee
