Ordinals tied-BRC20 protocol completes upgrade to “BRC2.0”, integrates EVM compatibility

Ordinals tied-BRC20 protocol completes upgrade to “BRC2.0”, integrates EVM compatibility

The post Ordinals tied-BRC20 protocol completes upgrade to “BRC2.0”, integrates EVM compatibility appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BRC20, the first token standard built directly on Bitcoin’s base layer and indexers, has officially upgraded to “BRC2.0” at Bitcoin block height 912690. The upgrade has opened the door to decentralized apps and DeFi on Bitcoin. The BRC2.0 upgrade was developed by Best In Slot, a major infrastructure player in the Ordinals ecosystem, together with BRC20’s pseudonymous creator Domo and the Layer 1 Foundation, the governance body overseeing the protocol. Technically, the upgrade adds Ethereum Virtual Machine(EVM) functionality directly into the BRC-20 core indexer. It brings Ethereum-like composability and programmability while leveraging its security.  Developers can use Ethereum-style smart contracts on Bitcoin Now developers will be able to use Ethereum-style smart contracts on Bitcoin, while still being able to use Ethereum tools. There are no bridges, no wrapped assets, just the capacity to combine things already there. Eril Binari Ezerel, CEO of Best In Slot, said, “Bitcoin meta-protocols like Ordinals, Runes, and BRC20 run on indexers, which function like simple calculators […] We upgraded this ‘calculator-style’ indexer with EVM—making BRC20 Turing complete.”  On the other hand, Domo, the creator of BRC20, said, “The holy grail is combining the two gold standards: Bitcoin as the most decentralized and secure network, and the EVM as the most proven virtual machine […] The aim is to give users the Ethereum experience of composability and programmability, but secured by Bitcoin.” Meanwhile, the new smart contract functionality expands what’s possible for Bitcoin-native assets. The programmability and DeFi are expected to spark renewed interest, with profits likely rotating into inscriptions, potentially driving another bull run for Bitcoin assets.  The number of programmable Bitcoin layers spikes Over $3 billion worth of assets have been exchanged on BRC-20 since it started in early 2023. The goal has been reached without getting any institutional assistance or venture financing. Although…

Japan’s Leading Bitcoin Treasury Company Metaplanet Reaches Critical Level with Its Latest BTC Purchase! Here Are the Details

The post Japan’s Leading Bitcoin Treasury Company Metaplanet Reaches Critical Level with Its Latest BTC Purchase! Here Are the Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Japan’s leading Bitcoin treasury company, Metaplanet, has increased its total assets to 20,000 BTC with its latest purchase. Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Holdings Reach 20,000 BTC The company announced today that it purchased 1,009 BTC for approximately 16.48 billion yen ($112 million). According to Metaplanet’s statement, the latest purchases were made at an average price of $111,068. This move places Metaplanet sixth among the largest Bitcoin treasury companies globally. According to Bitcointreasuries.net data, the company likely surpassed Riot Platforms with this move. The company’s increase of its Bitcoin holdings to 20,000 BTC comes after surpassing its 10,000 BTC target, announced less than three months ago. Metaplanet quickly revised its initial target of 10,000 BTC at the beginning of the year, announcing its aim to accumulate 30,000 BTC by the end of the year. Last week, the company announced plans to raise 130 billion yen (about $880 million) through an international share issuance and to direct the bulk of that funding to buying Bitcoin in the next two months. CEO Simon Gerovich also stated that they may acquire cash-generating companies in the future by using Bitcoin assets as collateral. Meanwhile, Metaplanet shares were down 2.62% on Japanese exchanges Monday morning. However, U.S.-listed shares were up 0.83% at $6.11 at the close on Friday. Metaplanet’s fast-growing Bitcoin strategy is making the company stand out globally in the crypto market. *This is not investment advice.

75% Volume Spike, Four (FORM) Dips, Bears Grip Tighter: Is the Bottom Near?

75% Volume Spike, Four (FORM) Dips, Bears Grip Tighter: Is the Bottom Near?

The post 75% Volume Spike, Four (FORM) Dips, Bears Grip Tighter: Is the Bottom Near? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. FORM is hovering around the $3 range. Trading volume has surged by over 75%. The bearish wave in the crypto market has triggered a majority of the assets to enter the red zone. As the tokens lose momentum, along with the largest assets, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), are currently hovering at $109.4K and $4.4K. Notably, the altcoin, Four (FORM), has become the top loser of the day.  FORM has reported a steady loss of over 21.12%. In the early hours, the asset traded at a high range of $3.81. With a potential bearish shift, the price has slipped toward a low of $2.82. If the bears do not take a rest, the price might see more downside.  As reported by CoinMarketCap data, the negative outlook has triggered the FORM price to trade within the $3.05 range. Meanwhile, the asset’s market cap has reached $1.17 billion, with Four’s daily trading volume has increased by over 75.05%, touching the $149.06 million mark.  Is There a Floor for FORM’s Price? When FORM’s both the Moving Average Convergence Divergence line and the signal line are found below the zero line, it implies an overall bearish grip in the market. Also, if the MACD rises above the signal line, the trend is still weak until both lines climb above zero.  Moreover, the Chaikin Money Flow indicator of Four at -0.38 points to a strong selling pressure with the bearish sentiment and weak accumulation in the market. The negative CMF value shows that the money is leaving the asset’s market.  The four-hour price chart exhibits the bear hold, and the price could fall and test the nearby support at $2.98. With the death cross, the downside correction of FORM strengthens, sending the price toward $2.91. Upon a reversal, the asset’s price might climb to the…

Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Warns About Stablecoins: ‘A Collapse Could Happen in a Possible Financial Crisis!’ Details Here

Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Warns About Stablecoins: ‘A Collapse Could Happen in a Possible Financial Crisis!’ Details Here

The post Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Warns About Stablecoins: ‘A Collapse Could Happen in a Possible Financial Crisis!’ Details Here appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jean Tirole, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2014, said that current regulations for stablecoins are inadequate and that governments may have to prepare billions of dollars in rescue packages if these digital assets collapse during a possible financial crisis. Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Warns About Stablecoins: “Inadequate Regulation Could Lead to Government Bailouts” Speaking in an interview, Tirole emphasized that stablecoins are seen as “completely safe deposits” for ordinary users, but in reality, they can lead to serious losses. According to him, if trust in stablecoins is shaken, there could be a mass outflow of deposits, making government intervention inevitable. Tirole also highlighted US Treasury bonds, which stablecoin issuers frequently use as reserve assets. The economist noted that these low-yielding bonds could lose their appeal in the long run, and that companies may be more likely to turn to riskier assets in search of higher returns. This could exacerbate systemic risks. Economic circles frequently point out that despite the stablecoin market’s rapid growth, regulation is slow. Tirole’s statements have reinforced calls for stricter regulations in this area. According to experts, a potential crisis in the stablecoin market could impact not only the crypto ecosystem but also the broader financial system. Tirole’s warning reiterates the need for governments to address potential risks in advance. *This is not investment advice.

Holding steady in August – UOB Group

Holding steady in August – UOB Group

The post Holding steady in August – UOB Group appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP) business surveys improved marginally in August while the private sector RatingDog China manufacturing PMI unexpectedly returned to expansion at 50.5 in August (Bloomberg est: 49.8, July: 49.5). The CFLP PMIs which tend to relate more closely with the broader economy, indicate the lack of new growth catalysts as domestic and external demand continue to face headwinds. Earlier data in July showed a broad-based slowdown in industrial production, retail sales, fixed assets investment and surveyed jobless rates, UOB Group’s economist Ho Woei Chen notes. China PMIs show tepid August recovery “The CFLP manufacturing PMI rose 0.1 pt to 49.4 in August (Bloomberg est: 49.5, July: 49.3). This marked the fifth consecutive month that the index is in contraction (reading<50) since the US President Trump’s announcement of the reciprocal tariffs in Apr.” “Within the manufacturing PMI, production (50.8 from 50.5 in July) expanded at a faster pace. New orders (49.5 from 49.4 in July) and new export orders (47.2 from 47.1 in July) inched up 0.1 pt but remained in contraction. Despite a pickup in manufacturing activity, employment (47.9 from 48.0 in July) weakened slightly in August. By enterprise size, the large-sized enterprises (50.8 from 50.3 in July) continued to outperform. The outlook for medium-sized enterprises (48.9 from 49.5 in July) and small-sized enterprises (46.6 from 46.4 in July) stayed in contraction in August.” “The CFLP non-manufacturing PMI added 0.2 pt to 50.3 in August (Bloomberg est: 50.2, July: 50.1). Improvements in the services index (50.5 from 50.0 in June) cushioned the slump in the construction index (49.1 from 50.6 from in July) which registered its first contraction in seven months, with weakness contributed by the adverse weather conditions.” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/china-holding-steady-in-august-uob-group-202509010925

Only 12 Out of 100 Tokens Fit SEC Fast-Track ETF Approval Plan: Galaxy

Only 12 Out of 100 Tokens Fit SEC Fast-Track ETF Approval Plan: Galaxy

The post Only 12 Out of 100 Tokens Fit SEC Fast-Track ETF Approval Plan: Galaxy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The race to bring more crypto assets to the stock market as ETFs may leave most stuck on the sidelines, Galaxy Digital found. Efforts to speed up crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) approvals in the United States may actually sideline most tokens in the foreseeable future, Galaxy Digital’s research associate Lucas Tcheyan revealed in a recent report. The new research estimates that only 12 of the top 100 assets by market capitalization beyond BTC and ETH would make the cut. In late July, Cboe’s BZX Exchange, Nasdaq, and NYSE Arca all filed 19b-4 forms with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to propose listing standards for crypto ETFs that would replace today’s case-by-case system. The applications come as the SEC faces a pileup of 91 pending crypto ETF requests covering 24 tokens and several index products, per Galaxy’s report. And while the agency’s final possible deadline for a verdict is March 27, 2026, Tcheyan thinks the call will likely come earlier, due to a “friendlier SEC attitude toward crypto.” Short List For now, only 10 tokens qualify under the fast-track criteria: Dogecoin (DOGE), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), Chainlink (LINK), Stellar (XLM), Avalanche (AVAX), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Polkadot (DOT), Solana (SOL), and Hedera (HBAR), according to the Galaxy Digital report. Cardano (ADA) and XRP are also expected to join them in September and October respectively, once the two assets pass the required six months of regulated futures trading, Tcheyan writes. “We view these as more likely to see ETF launches given their qualification under the proposed fast-track rule, and very likely if the rule is accepted,” Tcheyan wrote, referring to the above assets. Tokens listed on Coinbase derivates and that meet ETF fast-track requirements. Source: Galaxy Digital Of those, nine tokens already have ETF applications on file, making them front-runners…
