Cloudflare recently announced the launch of its monetization program via the Coinbase-led x402 machine payments standard. x402, which lets AI agents pay for data online with crypto, has been gaining steam among the AI-pilled, as it unlocks more capable agent interactions with the open web.
Cloudflare, founded in 2009, has grown from a DDoS mitigation and content delivery network (CDN) provider into one of the internet’s foundational infrastructure companies.
The company, which launched publicly in 2010, had the mission to make web performance and security accessible to everyone, not just large enterprises. Today, Cloudflare powers approximately 20-23% of all websites globally, handles tens of millions of HTTP requests per second across 330+ cities in over 100 countries, touching a significant portion of global internet traffic.
As a result of their adoption and security offering to large portions of the open web, CloudFlare’s integration of x402 is a major development for the structure of the internet. Websites that are increasingly inaccessible to the massive data demands from AI can now sell that data to AI agents for crypto. CloudFlare’s implementation only mentions Stablecoins such as USDC, the Open USD standard, but the protocol supports Bitcoin on-chain and is actively exploring integration of the Lightning network.
Kevin Leffew, co-author of the x402 protocol and AI GTM at Coinbase, told Bitcoin Magazine there’s a major user experience issue in the way AI currently interacts with the open web and x402 — which is now under the control of the Linux Foundation — is trying to solve it. “Every api call requires an api key, which in turn requires a human, and adds unnecessary friction,” Leffew explained, adding, “our goal is to kill the api key”.
Popular AI agents such as OpenClaw often require API access keys to special paid web search services, to let the AI agents access the web easily, with the mobility that a human user would enjoy. Services of this sort are offered by popular browsers and search engines such as Brave.com and Perplexity. But who out there wants to be paying a subscription service on top of computer hardware and internet access, plus AI token costs to search the web? These services also require a human to sign up with a credit card for a monthly subscription, paying for access that might be blocked by the websites holding valuable data anyway via non-standard methods. A better solution is needed.
AI agents need to be able to think about money and resource costs, and need to have a computer-friendly way to make payments for novel data. An example of this use case was recently demonstrated by an X account called “Lightning Mode AI,” which built a wrapper over ESPN FIFA data and had an AI agent pay for it in Bitcoin. The Agent was then able to quickly place bets on outcomes on markets like Polymarket, which could potentially let agent owners earn their money, during the soccer World Cup.
As a result, AI agents and their users are actively leaking data that might expose them to targeted attacks from organized cybercrime, among other risks.

Last but not least, stablecoins are fundamentally anchored to the U.S. dollar and its foreign policy. If CloudFlare wants to be a viable option for the multipolar world, it will want to start taking a neutral stance on money. The dollar, while still the most valued currency in the world, is starting to lose ground to rising powers in the east, while alternative, geopolitically neutral currencies like Bitcoin continue to rise. Bitcoin might help CloudFlare maintain or even grow its position as critical internet infrastructure in the multi-polar world.

Japanese financial conglomerate SBI Holdings has officially completed the acquisition of a controlling stake in Singapore-based crypto exchange Coinhako through its subsidiary SBI Ventures Asset. The transaction received full approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and has now been formally closed.
In their official statements, the management teams of both companies emphasize institutional infrastructure, including the creation of cross-border B2B corridors between Japan and Singapore, the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), and the launch of the regulated yen-denominated stablecoin JPYSC.
However, on-chain data from the Arkham platform reveals an important structural detail of the acquisition. Along with the licensed platform, the Japanese banking group is gaining control over a significant pool of retail liquidity in Southeast Asia, including more than 1.11 trillion Shiba Inu ($SHIB) tokens.
This detail is notable against the broader development trend among major fintech platforms in the Asian market, where SBI will now further strengthen its position. Japan's domestic market has recently demonstrated the systematic integration of meme tokens into traditional commercial services.
In particular, Rakuten Wallet added direct support for $SHIB trading pairs against the yen for its multimillion-user customer base and even released a unique physical meme token, while marketplace operator Mercari, through its Mercoin subsidiary, allowed customers to convert account balances and rewards into $SHIB and DOGE.
According to Coinhako's publicly identified on-chain addresses on Arkham, the total value of net assets held by the exchange exceeds $164.96 million. Its Shiba Inu position, which SBI will now inherit, ranks sixth in the platform's overall portfolio and consists of exactly 1.111 trillion tokens, worth approximately $4.52 million.
The key value of these reserves for the new parent structure is that Coinhako operates as an officially regulated fiat gateway, providing direct $SHIB trading against the Singapore dollar (SGD) and the US dollar (USD). For SBI Holdings, which is developing its own retail platform, SBI VC Trade, this represents a ready-made instrument for serving the mass market across the Asia-Pacific region.
For Coinhako, as CEO Yusho Liu stresses, joining SBI Holdings provides access to international banking infrastructure and the resources required to scale its products.
The transaction clearly demonstrates how institutional capital, when acquiring crypto infrastructure companies, inevitably integrates their retail component as well. Alongside major projects involving the launch of stablecoins, SBI is gaining control of a diversified portfolio in which popular retail assets such as $SHIB and PEPE hold a significant share.

Ethereum is holding long-term support while testing the descending trendline near $1,900-$2,000. A confirmed breakout could open the way toward $5,000 and support the wider bullish outlook, while another rejection may send $ETH back toward $1,500 or lower.
Ethereum is testing the lower boundary of a multi-year rising channel while trading below $2,000. Analyst Amonyx believes the broader bull market has already begun, but the chart still requires a confirmed rebound before supporting its extreme upside projection.
The rising trendline has supported Ethereum’s wider structure since the 2022 market bottom. Holding the highlighted zone would suggest the latest decline remains a correction inside that longer-term formation rather than the start of another major breakdown.
The first major confirmation would come from $ETH recovering above nearby resistance and forming higher lows. Beyond that, the larger barrier sits around the previous highs near $4,500, where Ethereum has faced repeated rejection during earlier cycles.
A sustained breakout above that resistance could move $ETH into price discovery. The chart projects an eventual target near $44,000, but reaching that level would require years of continued adoption, strong liquidity and repeated support holds.
The bullish case would weaken if Ethereum loses the channel floor and closes below the highlighted support zone. Until buyers confirm a reversal, the $44,000 target remains a highly speculative long-term scenario rather than an active price target.
Ethereum is approaching the descending trendline that has controlled price since its 2025 peak. A confirmed breakout could mark a major trend change, while another rejection would keep the wider bearish structure intact.
The trendline currently meets price around the $1,900-$2,000 region, making it the first major barrier for buyers. $ETH needs a strong two-day close above this area, followed by a successful retest, before the move can be treated as a reliable breakout.
If buyers reclaim the trendline, the next resistance levels sit around $2,250 and $2,550. Continued strength could then bring the $3,250-$4,050 range into focus before Ethereum challenges the major $4,650-$5,000 zone.
However, another rejection would confirm that sellers still control the long-term trend. Losing recent support could send $ETH back toward $1,500, followed by $1,300, while $1,000 would become possible only if the broader decline accelerates.
For now, the chart shows a decision point rather than a confirmed bullish reversal. Ethereum must break and hold above the trendline before the $5,000 scenario gains stronger technical support.

In a widely shared post, @Token_Logic highlighted that WBTC and cbBTC on Aave V4 reached new all-time highs, collectively totaling $62.6 million in $BTC collateral. This development underscores the growing interest in using Bitcoin as collateral in decentralized finance applications.
figures reveal that WBTC and cbBTC have surged to new all-time highs, reflecting a combined $BTC collateral of $62.6 million on Aave V4. This significant milestone illustrates not only the platform’s increasing adoption but also hints at a broader trend of rising confidence among traders in utilizing Bitcoin within decentralized finance ecosystems. As the market dynamics shift, this influx of collateral could pave the way for more robust trading activities and innovative financial products in the space.
Currently, WBTC trades at $0, with no recorded trading volume in the past 24 hours. This absence of activity might suggest that the market is in a consolidation phase, as traders await further developments or clearer signals from the broader crypto landscape. However, the all-time high in collateral indicates a growing base of support that could lead to more active trading once liquidity returns
WBTC, or Wrapped Bitcoin, serves as an ERC-20 token that represents Bitcoin on the Ethereum blockchain, allowing it to be utilized in various decentralized finance applications. The recent surge in collateral on Aave V4 showcases its utility and the increasing demand for Bitcoin in DeFi contexts, reflecting the ongoing evolution of how Bitcoin can be leveraged in a digital ecosystem.
Traders should monitor the developments around WBTC and the overall DeFi landscape closely. The rising collateral levels suggest a potential uptick in trading activity as confidence in using Bitcoin as collateral strengthens. However, market participants should remain cautious, as the current lack of trading volume may indicate a period of consolidation before any significant price movements. Observing key support and resistance levels will be vital in navigating this evolving situation.

For years, institutional investors have looked at Ethereum staking from a distance — attracted by the yields, but held back by the operational complexity and locked liquidity. Anchorage Digital is now directly targeting that gap. The federally chartered crypto bank has integrated Lido, Ethereum’s largest liquid staking protocol, giving institutional clients a compliant, seamless path to $ETH liquid staking without ever leaving its regulated custody environment.
The integration means institutional clients can now connect directly to Lido’s decentralized application from within Anchorage’s platform to mint wstETH by depositing Ether, or redeem it back into $ETH — all under institutional-grade custody and compliance controls. No asset movement to external services required.
That frictionless access matters more than it might first appear. Traditional Ethereum staking has always come with strings attached: long unbonding periods, the operational burden of running validator infrastructure, and capital that sits idle while locked. Lido’s liquid staking model solves this by issuing wstETH in exchange for staked $ETH, letting holders continue earning staking rewards while keeping a fully transferable token in hand. Now that token is accessible inside a regulated US banking environment for the first time at this scale.
Anchorage clients can mint and burn wstETH through the Lido dApp, all within Anchorage’s existing governance and custody framework. Clients retain full oversight of their positions without introducing new counterparties or fragmenting operational workflows — a critical point for compliance-driven allocators who can’t afford fragmented custody chains.
wstETH automatically accrues staking rewards from Ethereum’s proof-of-stake network while remaining fully liquid and transferable. That combination — yield plus liquidity — is exactly what institutional capital needs. It turns a staking position from a locked bet on Ethereum into a productive, flexible asset.
The Lido integration doesn’t stand alone. It slots into a broader strategy at Anchorage Digital to offer a complete suite of on-chain capabilities — staking, liquid staking, restaking, governance, and settlement — all under one regulated platform. The goal is to make advanced DeFi infrastructure genuinely institution-ready, rather than forcing large allocators to piece together services from multiple, unregulated providers.
This is where the strategic significance becomes clear. Institutions haven’t been absent from Ethereum staking because they lacked interest. They’ve been absent because the operational and compliance architecture wasn’t there. By consolidating these services under a federally chartered bank, Anchorage removes the friction that has historically kept large allocators on the sidelines.
The capital efficiency angle is arguably the most compelling part of this integration for professional allocators. wstETH can be used as collateral in lending markets, deployed on decentralized exchanges, or leveraged for cross-chain strategies — all without first unwinding a staking position. Sophisticated investors can generate yield from Ethereum staking while keeping those same assets productive across multiple DeFi protocols simultaneously.
That kind of composability was previously only accessible to crypto-native participants willing to manage self-custody and protocol risk directly. Packaging it inside a regulated custody environment changes the risk profile entirely for institutional compliance teams.
For Lido, the implications run in the other direction too. The protocol’s revenues fell over 20% in 2025 as users withdrew funds and staking yields declined, according to a March announcement from Lido. Gaining a direct institutional distribution channel through a major US-regulated bank could help reverse that trend by bringing in a segment of capital that wasn’t previously accessible to the protocol.
Anchorage Digital was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in San Francisco. It operates under a US federal banking charter and holds additional licenses in Singapore and New York, including a BitLicense — a combination that positions it as one of the most comprehensively licensed crypto custodians in the world.
Anchorage Digital operates under a US federal banking charter and holds a BitLicense in New York, alongside licenses in Singapore. This framework ensures institutional-grade custody and compliance controls for all on-chain services offered on the platform.
Liquid staking removes the core friction of traditional $ETH staking — long unbonding periods, validator operational burdens, and idle capital — while improving capital efficiency. It allows institutions to earn staking yield while keeping assets productive and accessible, making Ethereum staking compatible with institutional operational and compliance requirements.

$LAB rebounded from a low near $5.68 earlier in July and rallied to a high of $18.32. After reaching that level, the altcoin faced rejection and entered a steep decline.
The altcoin then recorded three consecutive lower daily closes and briefly fell below $1.
At press time, $LAB traded around $1.17 after gaining roughly 25% over the past day. Market Cap also climbed about 25% to nearly $366 million.
Trading Volume fell more than 40% despite the price rally, indicating buying activity weakened even as $LAB recovered. That divergence suggested the rebound may not have been driven by broad market demand.
The team burned 10 million $LAB, worth about $11.3 million, as the token remained under heavy selling pressure. Reducing the circulating supply appeared to ease immediate selling pressure and helped $LAB recover above $1.
Historically, token burns have often supported short-term price recoveries. $LAB appeared to follow the same pattern.
Even so, the broader supply picture remained less encouraging.
Blockchain investigator ZachXBT previously claimed insiders controlled roughly 95% of the altcoin supply, giving a small group significant market influence.
ZachXBT also alleged that the borrower address linked to the $LAB contract was used for token buybacks, suggesting the team managed buybacks, burns, and token sales.
However, larger supply increases may soon outweigh the recent burn.
According to Tokenomist, 14.8 million $LAB, worth about $15.4 million, from the airdrop allocation will unlock soon.
TokenomistInvestor allocations will release another 31.5 million $LAB, valued at roughly $33 million
Together, 46.3 million $LAB could enter circulation within days, potentially diluting the impact of the recent burn.
Despite the rebound, the broader trend remained bearish.
The MACD stayed deep in negative territory at -2.2, showing sellers continued to dominate momentum.
If buying interest weakens after the token burn, $LAB could fall below $1 again. Conversely, sustained demand would be needed to absorb the upcoming token unlocks and keep the recovery intact.

One of the most relevant global liquidity drivers, the Japanese carry trade, is under analyst scrutiny again due to the recent devaluation of the yen, which might prompt a reversal of the conditions that gave it its origin.
As explained in Bitcoin News before, the yen carry trade has its origin in the historically low cost of borrowing money in Japan. Investors leverage this liquidity, extracting it from the country and funneling it into more lucrative markets, investing in risk assets such as tech stocks and bitcoin.
The recent devaluation of the Japanese yen, which has touched historic lows, has experts examining possible actions by the Bank of Japan, which might choose to tighten its fiscal policy, affecting the carry trade and the assets that benefit from it.
Nonetheless, some claim these fears are unfounded, as the market believes Japan cannot take aggressive action due to its massive debt. “As a result, the wide US-Japan interest rate differential – and the structural weakness of the yen – are likely to persist,” said Bosco Wu, an investment strategist at Bank of East Asia.
The central bank predicted that the yen would weaken even further, reaching 165 per dollar in 12 months. It has already directed interventions to preserve the yen’s value, injecting about $73 billion into foreign exchange interventions from April to May.
These have been limited in scope, having little effect on a forex market that moves close to 17% of all global trade volume – over $1.6 trillion daily.
Even so, shifting expectations might affect the market, even if a reversal does not happen in the end.
Cliff Zhao, chief economist at CCB International, and global strategist Vera Jiang told SCMP that “if expectations for both US and Japanese monetary policy were to shift simultaneously, a stronger yen, risk-asset sell-offs and leveraged position unwinding could quickly reinforce one another, amplifying volatility across global markets through highly liquid assets.”

A sharp rise in the yen has left bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies underperforming in yen terms compared with their dollar-based trading pairs.
The yen has jumped to 161.55 per USD from 162.42 per USD earlier today. That move has meant BTC/JPY listed on Tokyo-based BitFlyer is only up 0.68% versus a 1.15% gain in the U.S.-based Nasdaq’s BTC/USD pair. The same pattern holds for XRP/JPY, SOL/JPY, ETH/JPY, and other JPY pairs – they are up, but clearly underperforming their USD-denominated counterparts.
Yen’s rise comes amid renewed fears of possible Bank of Japan (or coordinated) intervention after the JPY fell to a 40-year low earlier this week. The BOJ has historically intervened by selling dollars and buying yen to prop up its currency, though those efforts have largely delivered only temporary effects. Japanese fiscal concerns and relatively higher U.S. interest rates have repeatedly led traders to resume selling the yen shortly after interventions.
Early today, traders received Japan’s producer price index for June, which came in at 7.1%, the fastest annual increase since March 2023. The spike in wholesale inflation reinforced expectations for further Bank of Japan rate hikes. A former central bank official said Thursday that the BOJ may hike rates faster, potentially pushing them above 2%.
Note that the Japanese yen and Bitcoin have developed an unusually strong positive correlation, often moving in lockstep against the U.S. dollar. If that correlation holds, yen upswings may ultimately prove positive for bitcoin in general, even as BTC/JPY (and other crypto/JPY) pairs continue to lag in relative terms.
The Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) of Japan manages roughly ¥277 trillion ($1.87 trillion) in assets, making it the world’s largest retirement fund. It invests heavily in global stocks and bonds.
Now the Japanese government wants the GPIF and other pension funds to invest more in local assets. Such a rotation could trigger volatility in global financial markets.
The fund, one of the largest pension pools in the world, held 293.4 trillion yen, or roughly 1.81 trillion dollars, in assets at the end of December, maintaining roughly equal allocations across domestic equities, foreign equities, domestic bonds and foreign bonds," analysts at InvestingLive said in a market update.
Because of that size, even small shifts in GPIF's strategy are closely watched across global bond, currency and equity markets, meaning any concrete move to tilt the fund further toward domestic assets would likely draw significant attention well beyond Japan," analysts added.
Japan’s Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said Friday that the government wants to explore ways to encourage the GPIF to boost holdings of Japanese financial assets. This comes as Japanese government bond yields hover at 30-year highs.

Abu Dhabi – Live: BTCS Middle East Limited, a subsidiary of the "Bitcoin Suisse" group, operating in financial services for crypto assets, has obtained a financial services license from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority "FSRA" in Abu Dhabi Global Market "ADGM".
That came after a meticulous, multi-stage approval process, enabling it to now offer a comprehensive range of regulated financial services to investors and institutions in the digital assets sector, according to the Emirates News Agency "WAM" on Tuesday.
