The Kelp DAO hack shook confidence across DeFi, while lawsuits against major exchanges added another layer of uncertainty. That combination kept selling pressure steady. Even with ETF inflows providing some support, sentiment remains fragile and reactive to headlines. For now, the market is balancing between support and risk, and it hasn’t picked a side yet. So what’s actually happening behind the chaos? Let’s dive in!
Cash App Teaches Kids to Save
Block’s Cash App just launched bank accounts for kids as young as six, with a 3.25% interest rate on savings. Parents control all transfers and approvals. When the kid turns thirteen, the account can upgrade, and that’s where Bitcoin enters the picture. But not every teen gets crypto access automatically. What does a parent actually have to do to unlock Bitcoin for their teenager? Read more.
Europeans Are Ditching Their Banks for Crypto
35% of European investors across Germany, Italy, Spain, and France said they’d switch banks for better crypto access. Spain leads adoption with nearly 28% already holding digital assets. The EU’s MiCA regulation pushed nearly half of respondents to trust crypto more. But over 60% still feel poorly informed about digital assets. Which country is closest to making crypto a normal part of everyday banking? Read more.
DoorDash Is Now Running on Stablecoins
DoorDash is moving its payments onto stablecoin rails across more than forty countries. Stripe and a Latin American fintech covering Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and Brazil are already on board with the same infrastructure. Which part of DoorDash’s payment flow actually goes live on stablecoins first? Read more.
DeFi Is Getting Robbed Blind
Private key compromises have cost crypto over seventeen billion dollars across a decade, and attackers are getting lazier about it. They’re no longer hunting smart contract bugs. They’re going after the humans behind the protocols, and AI is making it easier to scale. So what’s the specific new method spreading fast right now? Read more.
The Kelp DAO Hacker Might be Cashing Out
Days after a two hundred and ninety-two million dollar exploit, the attacker moved seventy-five thousand ETH to fresh wallets in a single day. Arbitrum managed to freeze a portion through an emergency vote. The rest is already being routed through protocols with no ID checks. How much can actually still be recovered? Read more.
Can ETF demand push BTC to new highs soon?
TLDR: ETF demand is helping, but on its own it probably will not push Bitcoin to new all‑time highs in the very near term unless it accelerates and macro stays supportive.
- Spot BTC ETF assets are about $100.09 B, roughly 6.7% of Bitcoin’s $1.49 T market cap, and up about 5% in 30 days.
- Bitcoin is still about 41% below its all‑time high price, so new highs need a lot more net buying than we see right now.
- Leverage and equity correlations are high, so macro risk sentiment and derivatives positioning will decide whether ETF flows translate into a breakout in the next few months.
