The product, called “volatility-proof loans,” strips out the 65% LTV warning, 70% margin call and 85% automatic partial liquidation that apply to Strike’s standard bitcoin loan. Collateral stays untouched no matter how far bitcoin’s price falls, Strike says, as long as the borrower keeps making payments. Missing an interest or maturity payment still triggers a 10-day grace peri

The post Why Is Crypto Crashing Today: US Strikes on Iran and a Collapsing Ceasefire appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto woke up in the red today, July 8, 2026. Just a day after Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP had pushed past key levels and the mood was turning optimistic, the market flipped within hours. The trigger wasn’t anything on-chain — it came from the Middle East. The US conducted airstrikes against Iranian targets in retaliation for Iran firing on non-military ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Risk assets sold off almost immediately, and crypto — as it so often does when geopolitics turns ugly — was first to bleed.  What actually happened between the US and Iran? The escalation landed at an especially fragile moment. Talks between the two countries were already on pause as Iran observes a weeklong funeral for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and now the airstrikes and the president’s recent comments put long-term peace into serious jeopardy.  Then came the words that spoo

The post With MSTR concerns assuaged, look to traditional signals around BTC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. There are also signs of seller exhaustion and believer accumulation. As seen in prior market bottoms, BTC can find a floor when few sellers remain and when accumulation from holders with conviction picks up. This is playing out with around 45% of long-term holder supply sitting at a loss, per data from Checkonchain, with levels associated with prior market bottoms. It suggests many of the sellers are already out, leaving only convicted holders, who are not only able to withstand the volatility but who may also be adding to their positions. This is showing up in the data, with BTC supply held by long term holders climbing to a record high in recent weeks. Meanwhile, on-chain movements of longer-held BTC have abated from last year, alleviating earlier pressures. The situation today BTC has been in a down market since October, fighting a rotating set of headwinds largely unrel

The post StarkWare CEO Proposes 4% Annual Bitcoin Inflation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. StarkWare CEO proposed replacing Bitcoin’s 21 million supply cap with fixed 4% annual inflation.  Ben-Sasson said lost private keys shrink Bitcoin’s supply and could weaken long-term security.  Bitcoin supporters rejected the proposal, defending the 21 million cap as key to BTC’s scarcity. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson has suggested the Bitcoin network should replace its fixed 21 million supply cap with a permanent 4% annual issuance rate. He argued that Bitcoin’s hard cap becomes less practical over time because private keys are constantly lost, permanently removing coins from circulation. Ben-Sasson also cited long-term concerns about Bitcoin’s network security. Ben-Sasson Questions Bitcoin’s Fixed Supply In a post on X, Ben-Sasson argued that Bitcoin’s fixed supply limit creates problems over the long term. “Capping the supply of Bitcoin at 21M doesn’t make sense,” he wrote. He added that

The post Bitcoin’s rally has 4 weeks to get its Washington CLARITY catalyst before the clock runs out appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Senate returns to Washington next week with 20 working days to decide whether the CLARITY Act, which is the most advanced crypto market-structure bill in Congress, becomes law this summer or slips into another round of delay. Data from CryptoSlate shows that Bitcoin has climbed about 10% this month after a bruising June, rising from late-month lows to briefly trade above $64,000 before pulling back near $61,881 late Wednesday morning. The recovery has steadied market sentiment, but traders are still looking for confirmation that the bounce has more behind it than short covering and relief after weeks of selling pressure. The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act has become one of the clearest candidates for that next catalyst. The legislation is designed to establish a federal framework for digital asset markets and clarify how oversight is split
