The post Robinhood Chain Bridges Over $70M in Ethereum in First Week appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum News More than $70 million worth of Ether bridged onto Robinhood Chain within its first week of operation, hardening Ethereum (ETH) as the settlement layer for the brokerage’s new tokenized-finance network. On-chain data shows the Arbitrum-based layer-2, which launched on July 1 and uses ETH as its native gas token, drew that liquidity in days as bridged balances climbed roughly seventyfold week-over-week. Because every transaction on the network settles in ETH, sustained adoption channels recurring demand toward the base asset. Analysts tracking the flows describe the chain as a potential new demand sink for the second-largest altcoin, tying Robinhood’s user base directly to Ethereum block space. Total value locked on the network moved past $106 million after large institutional deposits into the Morpho lending protocol, on-chain data indicates. Daily trading volume on au

The post Bitcoin Steadies Near $64K as US-Iran Ceasefire Collapse Rattles Markets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News The 60-day ceasefire between the United States and Iran has effectively collapsed, and Bitcoin (BTC) is absorbing the first wave of the shock. What was presented as a diplomatic breakthrough is now confirmed as a tactical pause over the Strait of Hormuz, not a durable settlement. As of 03:30 UTC, our reading of the tape puts Bitcoin near $64,000, steady but pressured, while risk assets reprice a renewed Middle East conflict. The Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding briefly reopened shipping lanes and reassured traders, yet the core political and military disputes were never resolved. For crypto, the read-across is immediate: liquidity retreats first, and questions follow later. The mechanism behind the sell-off is maritime, not monetary. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has crashed since the latest escalation, with no large, traceable transits recorded

The post New Hampshire Rejects $100 Million Bitcoin-Backed Bond in 3-2 Vote appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin News New Hampshire has killed a $100 million Bitcoin-backed bond, with the state’s Executive Council voting 3-2 against authorizing what supporters billed as the world’s first such issuance. The council, which reviews major state financial actions, delivered the decision at the proposal’s final approval stage on Wednesday, ending a plan that had already cleared earlier hurdles. State officials had promoted the instrument as a first-in-the-nation bid to attract digital finance to the Granite State. Its collapse marks a notable setback for public-sector Bitcoin adoption, coming just months after the deal secured a formal credit rating and reached the last governmental checkpoint before it could be issued. The bond had earned a Ba2 rating from Moody’s before reaching the council, and it was to be issued by the Business Finance Authority of the State of New Hampshire. St

The post Ethereum Foundation AI Agents Uncover Critical libp2p Flaw CVE-2026-34219 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum News The Ethereum Foundation deployed a fleet of collaborative AI agents to red-team the software that Ethereum (ETH) depends on and uncovered a remotely triggerable panic vulnerability inside libp2p Gossipsub, the peer-to-peer messaging layer that consensus clients use to propagate blocks and attestations. The official blog post we reviewed states the flaw was caught during automated auditing of source code, cryptography and smart contracts, then patched and formally disclosed under the identifier CVE-2026-34219. The disclosure marks one of the first times an AI system surfaced a production-grade consensus bug on Ethereum, signaling that autonomous tooling is now embedded in the network’s core security workflow rather than confined to lab experiments. The team’s more striking conclusion was that finding the defect proved far easier than validating it. Accord

The post Bitcoin Reclaims $64K After 10% Rebound From Bear-Market Low appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin News Bitcoin (BTC) has clawed back the $60,000 level, rebounding roughly 10% from last week’s bear-market low near $57,700 to trade close to $64,000. The recovery has lifted sentiment across the market, yet on-chain analysts caution that the move looks like a bear-market bounce rather than the start of a fresh uptrend. Our reading of the demand and valuation metrics suggests improving conditions, but the broader structure for Bitcoin remains fragile. For now, the rebound has restored the $60,000 zone as a key support band — a shift traders had waited weeks to see confirmed after a punishing stretch of selling pressure that pushed Bitcoin to its recent floor. Much of the optimism ties to July’s seasonal record. Over the past decade, Bitcoin has closed higher in most Julys, and the effect has proven especially pronounced during bear markets. In 2018 and 2022 — both weak tren
