The last full Bitcoin could be mined sometime in the 2090s. Only fractions will follow until roughly 2140, when the final satoshi is expected to be produced. Related Reading: Bitcoin ETFs Break 5-Month Streak With 2nd Consecutive Week Of Inflows That endpoint moved one step closer Sunday when miners pulled the 20 millionth coin from the network — exactly 17 years, two months, and one week after the first block was mined in January 2009. A Pool Called Foundry USA Did The Work The Foundry USA mining pool mined that coin at block height 939,999, collecting a reward of 3.125 BTC. That figure reflects the current payout level set by the April 2024 halving, which cut daily network production from 900 BTC to roughly 450 BTC. The 20 million mark means 95.24% of all Bitcoin that will ever exist is now out in the world. For every 20 coins already mined, just one remains to be created. The remaining 1 million will take about 114 years to fully issue. Not All 20 Million Coins Are Accessible According to blockchain analytics firms River Financial and Chainalysis, between 2.3 million and 3.7 million BTC are gone permanently — lost to forgotten passwords, misplaced private keys, and early holders who never passed on wallet access. Recent data has estimated about 1.8 million coins were lost during Bitcoin’s earliest years, when the asset had little value and storage infrastructure was unreliable. Another 230 BTC is locked forever due to the original genesis block and early outputs written with scripts that cannot be spent. The practical supply available to buy, sell, or hold sits well below 20 million. Miners Face A Long-Term Revenue Problem The same halving schedule that caps Bitcoin’s supply also shrinks miner income over time. Daily issuance will fall below 30 BTC by the 2040s and below 2 BTC per day by the 2060s.

Whether those fees can sustain robust protection remains unanswered. The milestone arrived while Bitcoin traded around $69,282, down nearly 21% year-to-date. Despite pressure from macroeconomic uncertainty and Middle East conflict, it gained about 3.44% over the past week. The next halving is scheduled for April 11, 2028, cutting the block reward from 3.125 BTC to 1.5625 BTC. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Three individuals stole almost $1M on Bitcoin from a couple at knife point at their home. The Bitcoin Crime Modus Operandi French outlet TF1 Info reported today that on early Monday morning, a man and a woman in their late fifties were held captive in their home in Le Chesnay, Yvelines (France), by three individuals posing as police officers. Related Reading: Hyperliquid Traders Rise in Arms as Bitcoin Hits 7-Day Low And Oil Soars Following the TF1 account, the woman opened the door of her house when the individuals identified themselves as the police, only to be then pushed and kidnapped inside alongside her husband. The slightly injured woman and her husband were forced onto their sofa, where the man was tied up by the kidnappers. Afterwards, one of the individuals pulled out a knife and threatened to attack the woman if her husband didn’t transfer the equivalent of €900K in bitcoin. Around 9 a.m., when the robbery was completed, the individuals fled in a white van. Only then was the injured woman able to untie her husband and called the neighbors for help. The Investigation No arrests have been made just yet. The Versailles prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation for kidnapping and armed robbery by an organized gang, as well as criminal conspiracy, according to TF1. The investigations are being carried out by the Brigade de répression du banditisme (BRB).

On March 4, as reported by out sister website Bitcoinist, veteran trader “Mr Silly” suffered a multimillion‑dollar theft, where address poisoning and an offline robbery combined to strip him of roughly $24 million and push him out of the market. On November 24, 2025, an armed robber invaded a San Francisco home posing as a delivery worker. The modus operandi was pretty similar to the Le Chesnay crime: the homeowner was tied up and the attacker took the victim’s cellphone, laptop, and $11 million worth of cryptocurrency. In France, kidnappings for cryptocurrencies have multiplied since the begging of 2025, TF1 claims. In January last year, the co-founder of Ledger, David Balland, was abducted and later freed by the police. Just last month, on February 12, the head of Binance France, was targeted by also three (poorly prepared) hooded individuals in a failed home invasion in his Val-de-Marne apartment, french outlet RTL News reported. For Bitcoin holders, the lesson is brutally simple: the attack surface has moved from your seed phrase to your front door BTC's price trends to the upside on the daily chart.

TRON has joined the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), an open initiative under the Linux Foundation that focuses on building shared infrastructure for the next generation of autonomous AI systems. The organization aims to coordinate technical standards and governance frameworks as agentic AI begins moving beyond experimental environments and into real-world applications. Related Reading: Bitcoin Exchange Reserves Fall To 2019 Levels As ETFs And Corporate Treasuries Accumulate Agentic AI refers to software agents capable of performing tasks independently, interacting with digital environments, and coordinating with other agents or systems. As these technologies expand into finance, enterprise automation, and digital services, developers and institutions increasingly push for open standards to prevent fragmentation across platforms. TRON joined the foundation as a Gold Member and secured a seat on the AAIF Governing Board, giving the blockchain network a direct role in shaping the initiative’s direction. The foundation’s membership includes several of the largest companies developing artificial intelligence today, including Anthropic, Block, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, Huawei, IBM, and SAP. Their participation signals that major technology firms want to influence how agentic AI systems communicate, transact, and integrate with existing infrastructure. TRON’s Stablecoin Dominance Creates Infrastructure for Automated Payments The announcement also highlights TRON’s growing role in the global stablecoin economy. The network has become one of the most widely used blockchain systems for stablecoin settlement and everyday digital payments, processing more than 22 billion dollars in daily transaction volume. Users across emerging markets rely on TRON to move stablecoins for remittances, merchant payments, and peer-to-peer transfers. In many regions with limited banking access, the network already functions as an alternative payment rail for dollar-denominated transactions. Stablecoins such as USDT dominate the ecosystem, and their circulation on TRON has turned the blockchain into a high-velocity settlement layer for digital dollars. As a result, large portions of global crypto payments now move through the network. These characteristics could become relevant beyond human users. If autonomous software agents begin executing payments or coordinating economic activity, systems will require fast and inexpensive settlement layers capable of handling continuous machine-to-machine transactions.

The weekly chart shows the token holding near $0.285 while maintaining support above its major moving averages, a structure that typically reflects sustained market demand rather than short-term speculation. Price currently trades above the 50-week, 100-week, and 200-week moving averages, all of which slope upward. This alignment indicates that the long-term trend remains intact even after the correction that followed the late-2025 rally. During that rally, TRX pushed toward the $0.38–$0.39 range before entering a period of sideways price action.

#latest news

US President Donald Trump's recent comments about Iran helped trigger a Bitcoin rally, leading to an uptick in social media sentiment about Bitcoin.

#bitcoin #bitcoin news

Bitcoin has pushed back above roughly $70,000 after a weekend dump toward the mid‑60,000s that followed US‑Israel strikes on Iran and a spike in energy‑market stress. What The Bitcoin Data Says This recovery comes after President Donald Trump helped reset risk sentiment when he signaled the Iran conflict could be resolved “very soon”, rising equities and softer oil prices alongside Bitcoin’s price. Brent crude dropped more than 7%, sliding to around $91 a barrel and pulling back sharply from Monday’s 119.50‑dollar peak. “Trump’s latest posts are being seen as potentially flagging an end to the Iranian conflict faster than the market was anticipating”, said Richard Galvin, co-founder of hedge fund DACM as reported by Bloomberg. He added: Risks are that the market is misreading Trump’s statements, or that either Israel, the USA or Iran takes action to further escalate hostilities and takes the option of de-escalation off the table. On‑chain and derivatives data suggest the worst of the war‑driven stress is abating rather than starting a new bear phase. Glassnode describes the recovery as showing “tentative signs of improvement”, with futures open interest and perp buying picking up again as prices stabilize in the high-$60,000 to low‑$70,000 band. Related Reading: Why A U.S. Court Says Binance Is Not (Yet) Liable for Terrorist Crypto Flows What The Analysts Say Analysts tracking flows argue the Iran episode looks more like a sharp positioning and liquidity shock than a structural macro regime change. CryptoQuant data, cited by NewsBTC, showed a spike in coins moving to exchanges and a jump in volatility around the February 28 strikes, followed by a rapid normalization as BTC snapped back toward its prior trajectory in early March. ETF flows remain a key pillar. US spot products saw strong net inflows in the days Bitcoin rebounded toward and above $70,000, signaling that institutions kept buying into weakness rather than dumping exposure. At the same time, funding and short liquidations indicate that late bears were squeezed as prices reclaimed key psychological levels, reinforcing the idea that traders used the war headlines to fade fear rather than to exit the asset class altogether. Related Reading: Hyperliquid Traders Rise in Arms as Bitcoin Hits 7-Day Low And Oil Soars The “Digital Gold” And Risk Asset Behavior This is not the first time war headlines have jolted Bitcoin, but recent behavior looks different from the panic surrounding events like the start of the Russia‑Ukraine war. On earlier Iran‑linked shocks, BTC saw larger percentage drawdowns and sustained realized‑volatility spikes; this time, the coin briefly dumped toward the low‑60,000s before clawing back above 70,000 dollars within days. Some macro and on‑chain analysts say that pattern supports a slowly maturing “digital gold” narrative, noting that Bitcoin held up better than some equities and even certain traditional hedges during the latest energy shock. Others stress that crypto is still trading as a high‑beta risk asset overall, pointing to synchronous moves with stocks when war jitters first hit and to heavy rotation into classic safe havens like gold at peak fear. Whatever the case may be for overall crypto sentiment, one thing remains true: the market still moves at the speed of human fear around geopolitical unrest, not the other way around.   BTC's price trends to the upside on the daily chart.

XRP is trading around $1.40 after the market recorded modest upside following a volatile week that saw sharp intraday swings across several major cryptocurrencies. While price action has stabilized in the short term, on-chain data suggests that underlying market participation may be entering a quieter phase. Related Reading: Bitcoin Exchange Reserves Fall To 2019 Levels As ETFs And Corporate Treasuries Accumulate According to a CryptoQuant analyst, activity across centralized exchanges has dropped significantly in recent weeks. Data tracking XRP deposits and withdrawals across major trading platforms shows that transaction counts have fallen to the lowest levels recorded since the metric began tracking exchange behavior. The indicator, known as the Multi Exchanges Daily Depositing and Withdrawing Transactions Delta, monitors the net number of XRP transfer transactions across 15 major cryptocurrency exchanges. Unlike traditional flow metrics that measure the volume of coins moving on and off exchanges, this dataset focuses on the number of transactions themselves. This distinction provides insight into user behavior rather than capital size. In practical terms, the metric reveals how many participants actively interact with exchanges by sending or withdrawing XRP. The recent decline, therefore, suggests a slowdown in user-driven exchange activity. Such periods often emerge when markets transition between phases, as traders step back from short-term speculation while waiting for clearer price direction. XRP Exchange Activity Signals Market Cooling Phase The report also explains how the deposit and withdrawal transaction metrics should be interpreted within a broader market context. Unlike volume-based indicators, this dataset focuses on the number of transactions occurring across exchanges, which helps reveal shifts in investor behavior rather than simply measuring capital flows. When the metric rises sharply, it typically indicates that more users are sending XRP to exchanges than withdrawing it. In market terms, that behavior often precedes increased selling pressure, as traders move coins to trading platforms in preparation for potential liquidation. The opposite dynamic emerges when the metric declines. Lower readings generally suggest that investors withdraw XRP from exchanges into private wallets. This behavior often aligns with accumulation phases, when participants move assets off trading platforms and reduce their intention to sell in the short term. Related Reading: Altcoins Approach Historic Stress Levels as 38% of Tokens Near All-Time Lows Recent data shows a pronounced decline in the number of XRP deposit and withdrawal transactions. In practical terms, fewer investors currently interact with exchanges using XRP, creating an unusually quiet market environment. The broader context also matters. XRP has fallen more than 60% from its previous highs, a move that appears to have significantly reduced retail participation. The last major spike in exchange deposits occurred in January 2025 when XRP approached the $3 level. Binance remains the primary exchange driving transaction activity. XRP Struggles to Reclaim Key Resistance as Downtrend Persists XRP continues to trade near the $1.40 level after a prolonged correction that has defined its price structure since late 2025. The daily chart shows the asset attempting to stabilize following a sharp sell-off that pushed prices from above $2.30 down toward the $1.20–$1.30 range earlier this year. The broader technical structure remains bearish. XRP has consistently traded below its major moving averages, including the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day trends, all of which now slope downward. This alignment typically reflects sustained selling pressure and a lack of strong bullish momentum. Related Reading: Post-Crash Purge: XRP’s 60% Valuation Reset Meets a Record Low in Exchange Liquidity Recent price action suggests that the $1.30–$1.35 zone is currently acting as short-term support. Buyers stepped in after the February capitulation wick that briefly pushed XRP near the $1.20 area, triggering a rebound that brought the asset back toward the $1.40 region. However, upside attempts remain limited. The declining 50-day moving average near $1.60 now represents the first meaningful resistance level. A recovery above that zone would signal improving momentum and could allow XRP to test the $1.80–$2.00 range. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com
