Bitcoin rallied by 6% on Friday and reclaimed $80K as crude oil prices slipped below $100 per barrel. This eased fears of oil-driven inflation, sparking a strong rebound across U.S equity and crypto markets. For Fidelity, however, BTC’s resilience also meant that it might be ready for its next bull market cycle run.  Why Fidelity thinks Bitcoin winter is over According to Jurrien Timmer, Fidelity’s Head of Global Macro, BTC has held above $60K for about a year. For him, two signals have been flagged – The 1-year Bitcoin winter and BTC/gold correlation turning positive. Timmer said that these signals…

Midnight seems ready to activate the much-awaited smart-contract support for the privacy-focused blockchain.  In an X post on Saturday, Sebastien Guillemo, the CTO of Midnight Foundation, said that the upgrade will soon be rolled out on the mainnet and will include private smart contracts.  Source: X Initially, only a few decentralized applications on Midnight such as AscendPerps were whitelisted, allowing them to run in a gated garden. However, the latest update means that smart contract support will be available for anyone to experiment with and deploy.  The blockchain runs as a sidechain to Cardano, but leverages zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs for…

Sky Protocol [SKY] recorded significant gains over the last 24 hours, with the altcoin gaining by 14% on the charts. However, while these gains appeared to be strongly bullish, they have relied significantly on sentiment.

Treasury desks at major institutions are juggling three systems for the same job, said Jerald David, CEO of Lynq Network. A JPMorgan tokenized deposit for one client, a regulated stablecoin for another, a conventional correspondent account for a third. They move money on for the same reasons, but on different infrastructure. “What clients can’t afford are separate pools of liquidity locked up on every network they access, because idle liquidity fragmented across five networks is five times the capital inefficiency of idle liquidity sitting in one place,” he said. Unlike a stablecoin, a tokenized deposit remains a claim on the…

The collapsing fee chart invited an explanation that higher costs may have chased traders back to Solana and taken Robinhood’s volume with them. Weekly data, however, shows a narrower retreat. Robinhood’s decentralized exchanges handled about $13 billion in the seven days through Sept. 16, up 5% from the preceding week, according to CoinDesk calculations using DeFiLlama, while stablecoin supply slipped just 1% to around $1 billion, with about $930 million of that sitting in decentralized-finance applications. The businesses built on the chain kept earning far more than the chain itself, taking about $8 million in fees over the latest 24…

Bitcoin has already gone through a period of correction/consolidation, but it has not yet experienced the…
