#Bitcoin Miners are Giving up and that’s Usually Bullish

VanEck says $BTC hashrate just dropped 4% (biggest fall since April).
Historically, when this happens, Bitcoin goes up 77% of the time over the next 6 months.

At the Same Time:
▪️ #Miners are under pressure
▪️ Big treasuries bought 42,000 BTC in one month

Contrarian Rule: When Miners Capitulate, Smart Money Accumulates.

BULLISH: BlackRock ($13T AUM) lists #Bitcoin as a top 2025 investment theme, alongside T-bills and the Mag 7

Big money sees $BTC as a core asset now.

A solo miner has successfully mined #bitcoin block 928985, earning a 3.128 $BTC reward worth ~$281K.

Russia Just Admitted This About Bitcoin…

Russia’s Central Bank says #Bitcoinmining is helping make the ruble stronger.

Simple reason: #Bitcoin miners earn foreign money and change some of it into rubles, that creates more demand for the ruble.
It’s not the main reason, just one of several factors.

Still, it’s surprising to hear a central bank say crypto can support a country’s currency.

👉 Crypto isn’t just digital money, it can move real economies.

US Lawmakers Say Crypto Stakers Are Being Taxed Twice

A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers is pushing the IRS to fix crypto staking tax rules before 2026 👀

What’s the problem?
Right now, staking rewards can be taxed:
1️⃣ when you receive them
2️⃣ again when you sell them

Lawmakers call this “double taxation.”

👉 They want staking rewards taxed only when sold, like other investments.

If the IRS doesn’t act soon, the current rules could become permanent in 2026.

Crypto taxes may be changing and this could help stakers a lot.

Coinbase is set to acquire prediction market startup The Clearing Company.

The largest U.S. Bank JPMorgan is now Exploring Bitcoin Trading

#JPMorgan , the largest bank in the U.S., is reportedly considering offering crypto trading services to its institutional clients, according to Bloomberg.

What we know so far:
🔹 The bank is reviewing options for spot and derivatives crypto trading
🔹 The project is still in early stages and depends on client demand and regulatory approval
🔹 JPMorgan already accepts #Bitcoin and #Ethereum as collateral for loans
🔹 It recently helped Galaxy Digital issue a bond on the Solana blockchain

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, once a vocal critic of Bitcoin, has softened his stance, saying he supports people’s right to buy it.
Why this matters:

With regulators allowing banks to act as crypto intermediaries and other major banks entering the space, traditional finance is steadily integrating crypto services.

When the largest U.S. bank starts building crypto infrastructure, it signals how much the financial landscape is changing.
