And how crypto is giving me a second chance to get in.I’ve always believed in collectibles.That belief is actually a big reason I was so bullish on NFTs early on. Digital scarcity, provenance on-chain, community-driven value — it made complete sense to me. If people pay millions for a signed jersey or a first-edition comic, why not a jpeg with verifiable ownership?But here’s where I have to be honest with myself.One collectible I completely faded? Pokémon cards.I have zero excuses. In 2017, I was addicted to Pokémon GO when it dropped. I know the IP. I love the lore. There…

Paris-based Sequans Communications sold 1,025 bitcoin during the first quarter of 2026, cutting its digital asset reserves nearly in half as the IoT semiconductor maker grappled with declining revenue and mounting losses tied to a treasury strategy that has turned from ambitious to burdensome. The sale reduced Sequans’ bitcoin position from 2,139 BTC at year-end 2025 to 1,114 BTC by April 30, marking the second major disposal in six months for a company that less than a year ago proclaimed plans to accumulate 3,000 bitcoin as a “long-term store of value”. The financial pressure is evident in the numbers. Sequans…

Kraken will allow customers to convert cryptocurrency into cash at MoneyGram locations across more than 100 countries, addressing a longstanding gap in the digital asset ecosystem, according to an exclusive report from Fortune. The partnership gives Kraken users access to nearly 500,000 physical locations worldwide, where they can exchange crypto holdings for local currency. The move targets a key friction point in crypto markets: while digital transfers settle with speed, converting assets into cash often involves multiple steps, limited banking access, or delays. The initiative reflects rising demand for reliable cash access, driven in part by Kraken’s expanding presence in…

K Wave Media is abandoning its high‑profile bitcoin treasury plan and recasting itself as an AI infrastructure company, backed by a potential war chest of up to $485 million and a cleaner balance sheet.  The Nasdaq‑listed firm intends to shed its legacy media operations, erase roughly $48 million of debt and pursue a rebrand as Talivar Technologies as it chases stronger margins in data centers and GPU compute. On Monday, K Wave said its board approved the sale of Play Co., its largest wholly owned subsidiary, back to the unit’s previous owner, a transaction expected to remove about $48 million…

The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange has rolled out a long-awaited security feature designed not to stop hackers — but to stop criminals armed with physical threats.For years, the cryptocurrency industry has poured billions into defending against digital attackers: phishing scams, SIM card swaps, seed phrase theft, and elaborate social engineering campaigns. Yet one threat has stubbornly resisted every technological fix — the criminal who simply shows up at your door.In the crypto community, this is darkly referred to as a “wrench attack,” a nod to the blunt idea that even the most airtight digital security can be defeated by someone…

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Before Standard Chartered’s investment arm took a stake in GSR, the crypto market maker had already made a move of its own. GSR invested in Libeara last month — a tokenization platform backed by SC Ventures — designed to help financial institutions issue tokenized assets. That prior transaction set the stage for what came next: SC Ventures formally becoming GSR’s first external shareholder in the company’s 13-year history. The investment was announced Monday. GSR confirmed that SC Ventures had secured a strategic stake in the firm, ending…

A token that’s down 98% from its peak doesn’t usually inspire confidence. But in the world of micro-cap meme coins, a 98% drawdown is less a death sentence and more a recurring character arc — and for BEEG (Beeg Blue Whale), there’s a growing case that the chapter titled “revival” may be closer than most people think.Sitting at roughly $0.000020–$0.000023 today, BEEG is a community-driven cryptocurrency built natively on the Sui blockchain. Its all-time high was approximately $0.000485. That gap represents either a cautionary tale or an asymmetric opportunity, depending entirely on what happens next. This article breaks down both…

Senator Tillis and Senator Alsobrooks finalized CLARITY Act language that bans bank-like yield on stablecoins while preserving activity-based rewards for real on-chain usage. The compromise closes the GENIUS Act loophole, answering bank deposit-flight fears, though White House analysis says the lending impact would be tiny at about 0.02%. Platforms can still reward payments, transfers, trading, and staking, but the “sit and earn” stablecoin savings-account model is effectively dead for U.S. customers. The era of earning a high percentage passive yield just for letting your stablecoins sit in an exchange wallet might officially be over. In a move that has sparked…

XRP reaching $300 is back on the table, and the case for it right now comes from a macro diamond pattern that analyst EGRAG Crypto flagged on the monthly chart on May 4, 2026. The analysis maps two separate price ladders, one running up to $183 and another going all the way to $300, both framed as structured price-and-time models with key cycle windows in April 2027 and also April 2028. And on top of that technical setup, XRP treasury firm Evernorth named Robert Kaiden, CFO of the OpenAI Foundation, to its board as it prepares to list on Nasdaq.Also…
