The post Bitcoin Miners Drop 20% as Mining Stocks Trade Like Semiconductors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin News Publicly listed Bitcoin (BTC) mining equities tumbled roughly 20% this week, yet Bitcoin itself largely sidestepped the damage, according to a July 7 research note. The drop hit miners as investor appetite for artificial intelligence and semiconductor names cooled sharply, dragging down shares that markets have increasingly repriced as compute infrastructure. While Bitcoin held broadly flat over 24 hours, the miner cohort absorbed the full brunt of the rotation. The divergence underscores how equity exposure to ASIC mining operators no longer moves cleanly in lockstep with the underlying coin, a shift with direct consequences for investors who treated the stocks as leveraged Bitcoin bets. The core finding is that miners now trade as AI infrastructure companies rather than pure Bitcoin proxies. Their share prices respond to chip supply chains and data-center comp

The post Polymarket Turns On Instant Bitcoin Deposits Via Lightning Network, Powered By Spark appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Polymarket, the crypto-native prediction market, has begun supporting instant Bitcoin deposits over the Lightning Network. The feature uses infrastructure from Spark, a Bitcoin protocol built for payments and stablecoins.  In a post on X, Spark told users they can deposit BTC to the platform with more speed and more privacy than the older method offered. The move extends a funding push that started in October 2025, when Polymarket switched on standard on-chain Bitcoin deposits. Those deposits carried a wait: most on-chain Bitcoin transactions need three to six confirmations, a window of 10 to 60 minutes, before a platform credits an account.  The on-chain route carried a higher minimum deposit, a reflection of bridging costs. For a trader who wants a position on a live market, both the delay and the fee are a cost. Lightning and Spark close the gap. Spark v

The post Bitcoin rally now depends on one Fed document coming Wednesday appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve publishes the minutes of its June 16–17 meeting on Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET, and the release will either validate Bitcoin’s week-long recovery or pull out its foundation. Traders bought the rebound on a single macro assumption: a weakening US labor market limits how long the central bank can stay hawkish. The minutes, the first full account of internal deliberations under Chair Kevin Warsh, will show whether officials shared that concern in mid-June, weeks before the jobs data that set the rally in motion. The move riding on the answer is substantial. Bitcoin traded near $64,000 on Tuesday, up almost 11% from the 21-month low below $58,000 it set on July 1, and swung more than $3,400 between $61,250 and $64,659 on Monday. The recovery began with Thursday’s US jobs report, which showed employers added 57,000 positions in June, roughly half of what economists exp

The post Digital Chamber Files Brief Over Dormant Satoshi Wallets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Noah Doe sued for title to 39,069 dormant Bitcoin wallets he found by algorithm. Digital Chamber says dormancy alone cannot prove abandonment under New York law. Noah Doe never held private keys, so cannot access or move funds from any wallet. The Digital Chamber, the United States’ oldest and largest digital asset trade association, has filed an amicus brief in the New York State Supreme Court opposing a lawsuit that seeks to claim ownership of tens of thousands of dormant Bitcoin wallets, some of which are believed to be linked to Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.
