Tether’s planned Bitcoin mining expansion in Uruguay has collapsed after an electricity supply dispute with state utility UTE left two facilities without enough power, ending a project estimated to have cost around $120 million. Summary Tether invested an estimated $120 million across two Bitcoin mining sites in Uruguay’s Florida department. A dispute with state utility UTE over electricity allocations left the facilities without enough power to operate consistently. UTE disconnected the mining sites in July 2025 after contract negotiations failed and electricity bills went unpaid. Tether has continued investing in Bitcoin mining elsewhere, including renewable energy projects in Brazil and…

Bitcoin was front and center on my timeline when two completely different stories collided into one, and honestly, the timing couldn’t have been more fitting. On one side: Bitcoin just ripped through short sellers so hard it produced the largest short liquidation event crypto has ever recorded. On the other: a very public Twitter fight over whether a trader who claims he lost millions on a Bitcoin short was even trading with real money in the first place. Put them side by side, and you get a pretty honest snapshot of what crypto Twitter actually looks like on a day…

As the 2026 World Robot Conference kicked off in China on August 19 with roughly 3,000 products on display, the humanoid robots that have patrolled the Hangzhou West Lake area have stolen the headlines as a signal that the country is ready to move robots from exhibition halls to the streets.  The fifteen-humanoid unit that started to operate on May 1 is not exactly the full Robocop experience, as they cannot make arrests or even issue fines.  Their job, as far as they are currently deployed, is to guide pedestrians and give directions. They also record traffic violations, such as…

Meteor Wallet and NEAR Protocol are both built for accessibility without sacrificing power, helping bridge the gap between simplicity and deep functionality for crypto users.Most crypto wallets ask you to choose between simplicity and depth, pick the clean interface that hides the power, or the powerful dashboard that overwhelms anyone new to Web3. Meteor Wallet has spent the past few years trying to prove that trade-off doesn’t have to exist, and after digging through its current feature set, its staking mechanics, and its still-pending Mastercard plans, I think it’s one of the more genuinely useful wallets built specifically for the…

POL is sitting at the center of a genuinely strange puzzle in plain sight: a token that burns more than it issues, has zero unlocks left, zero vesting overhang, and has been trading openly for seven full years, yet still can’t get its fully diluted valuation above $700 million. Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal put those numbers out there this week, and instead of settling the debate about POL’s tokenomics, he ended up starting a much bigger one about whether crypto Twitter even wants to look at data anymore.The Numbers Sandeep Put On The TableSandeep laid out the core claim plainly:…

TLDR: Citi Bitcoin custody will launch later in 2026, giving institutional clients access to Bitcoin and traditional asset safekeeping through one framework. The Custody+ platform will connect custody with faster settlement, foreign exchange, and cash management services for Citi institutional clients. Citi says over 80% of custody event volume now processes in real time, while 96% of U.S. voluntary events finish within two hours. The SEC rescinded SAB 121 guidance in 2025, removing an accounting obstacle while retaining disclosure and risk assessment requirements. Citigroup plans to launch Citi Bitcoin custody later in 2026 through its new Custody+ platform. The service…

Some crypto disputes fade quietly after the initial outrage cycle passes, but the ongoing case involving Gate.io user @jheioff has simmered for weeks before boiling over into a public, six-figure bounty for information following a $1.7 million theft claim against the exchange. This week, Jheioff put real money behind the frustration, offering $100,000 out of pocket for leads that could crack the case open, and pointedly noted that Gate.io has gone quiet on the matter entirely.How This Case Actually StartedTo understand why this bounty matters, it helps to go back to where the whole thing began. In early July, Jheioff,…

Here’s a sentence that should stop anyone with a hardware wallet in their tracks: as of this week, typing “Ledger Wallet” into Google doesn’t reliably take you to Ledger. Instead, the top result in some searches is a paid, sponsored ad labeled “Ledger Official” that leads straight to a phishing page, hosted, ironically, in a way that borrows Google’s own credibility to make the scam look real. I’ve seen plenty of crypto phishing attempts dressed up to look convincing, but this one is different, because the platform doing the vouching isn’t some sketchy ad network. It’s Google itself.The alarm was…
