Iran’s Crypto Mining Industry Is Bigger — And Harder to Track — Than You Think Iran has become a surprising hotspot for Bitcoin mining, especially over the last five years. While official statistics are scarce, estimates suggest that Iran may have mined between 60,000 and 200,000 BTC since the country began legally embracing crypto mining in 2019. But how much Bitcoin Iran has truly mined is difficult to verify, and most of the mining is deeply underground, both literally and politically. Bitcoin Mining in Iran: A Response to Sanctions and Inflation Under intense global sanctions and a rapidly devaluing national…

Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin Warns Against Centralized Digital Identity Systems Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has unveiled a proposal for a new identity model called “pluralistic identity,” aiming to preserve privacy, pseudonymity, and inclusion in the emerging world of decentralized digital ID systems. “ZK-wrapping solves many problems but still has risks,” Buterin stated, cautioning against enforcing a single digital identity per person. In his latest blog post, Buterin critiques the trend toward single, all-encompassing digital IDs, even those wrapped in zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, which allow verification without revealing private data. He warns that while these technologies enhance privacy on the surface, they…

Polkadot’s Rise and Fall: What Happened to the Web3 Visionary? Polkadot (DOT) once stood at the center of the Web3 revolution, backed by over $500 million in funding and one of the most ambitious blockchain designs ever created. But in 2025, the once-hyped Ethereum competitor is now trading below $5, with fading developer interest, low daily activity, and no mainstream adoption. A viral thread by crypto analyst @0xNonceSense outlines the 13 key reasons why Polkadot is losing relevance—fast. 1. Massive Funding, Minimal Impact Polkadot raised $144M in its 2017 ICO, followed by multiple funding rounds. By 2021, DOT hit $55,…

Trump Pressures Fed Chair Powell Amid Inflation and Growth Tensions U.S. President Donald Trump is turning up the heat on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, frustrated by the central bank’s resistance to cutting interest rates. While Trump argues that lower rates are essential for economic growth and job creation, rising inflation and strong labor market data are keeping the Fed firmly on hold. “We need competitive interest rates now,” Trump said, hinting at a leadership change if resistance continues. The federal interest rate currently sits between 4.25% and 4.50%, and the Fed has not made a cut since December 2024.…

SOL Price Stays Resilient With Rising Volume Solana (SOL) is showing signs of strength despite slight price dips, currently trading at $140.80, down just 0.45% in the past 24 hours. What stands out is the 13.45% jump in trading volume, now at $3.58 billion, a sign that investor interest remains strong even amid sideways price action. Over the past week, SOL has gained 1.85%, holding steady around the $141 zone and avoiding deeper breakdowns. According to analysts, Solana’s recent bounce back from a false breakdown below key support suggests that bullish momentum is still in play. The formation of a…

Bitcoin Consolidates Between $100K–$110K as Traders Await Breakout Bitcoin (BTC) is trading in a tight range, currently hovering around $107,424, as the market digests recent volatility and faces renewed macroeconomic headwinds. Despite a series of price swings earlier in the week, Bitcoin remains within the $100,000–$110,000 range, signaling a consolidation phase supported by onchain and technical data. Weak demand and fading onchain metrics suggest the current price action lacks the momentum to break higher. According to Glassnode, Bitcoin’s open interest dropped by 7%, falling from 360,000 BTC to 334,000 BTC, after a rare dual-sided liquidation of $28.6 million in long…
