The Bitcoin (BTC) market has entered a wait-and-see phase ahead of the key Federal Reserve meeting. Analysis of exchange flows shows a mixed picture: some indicators point to accumulation, while others signal a reversal toward coins flowing onto trading platforms. However, all agree on one thing: the market's next significant move will likely be triggered precisely by the Fed's decision.
At first glance, the data seems contradictory, but in reality, it reflects different time windows...

The U.S. gambling lobby has declared war on crypto prediction markets: sports betting in the crosshairs
American gambling associations — AGA, IGA, and AGEM — have sent a strict demand to the U.S. Senate: ban prediction markets related to sports and gambling as part of a new cryptocurrency regulation bill. This is not just a request, but a direct attack on a rapidly growing sector that, according to lobbyists, illegally expands the boundaries of betting without approval from state authorities and voters...

The history of technological breakthroughs rarely begins in the quiet offices of large corporations. More often, it is written on the fringes—by people whom contemporaries consider mad. Jack Parsons, a self-taught chemist and occultist who launched homemade rockets in a canyon near Los Angeles in the late 1930s, became one of the fathers of modern rocketry. His contribution to the creation of solid-fuel engines laid the foundation for the American space program, and a crater on the far side of the Moon bears his name...

Over the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market has seen a significant outflow of liquidity.

In September 2025, the number of listings jumped from 204 to 427 — a 109% increase in a single month. The following month, the leading cryptocurrency reached a new price record.
