Solana shares of the broader crypto market rebounded on Tuesday, with Solana’s price recovering above the 107 area after Monday’s pullback. The move appears tied to new product activity in Hong Kong, though persistent outflows from spot Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and muted momentum signals have limited optimism.

Key takeaways Price move: Solana reclaimed levels above $107 before slipping slightly back below the 50-day EMA at $107.49. Catalyst: The company scheduled…

Wall Street marked the fourth anniversary of its current bull market on Monday, with the S&P 500 up nearly 120% from its closing low on Oct. 12, 2022. The long run has been closely tied to investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, particularly companies viewed as key beneficiaries of the AI build-out. As the index reaches fresh highs, strategists and market participants are increasingly focused on whether rally momentum can persist amid concerns about higher inflation, rising bond yields and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. The debate centers on market breadth, the sustainability of big-tech leadership, and whether earnings can meet…

KuCoin Nigeria Limited said it has received conditional Approval-in-Principle (AIP) from Nigeria’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC Nigeria) for admission to the Accelerated Regulatory Incubation Programme (ARIP).

KuCoin also emphasized that it is not authorized to onboard clients or offer services to the Nigerian public as a result of the AIP. Key takeaways Regulatory…

Bitget said it has launched rToken Stock Transfer, a feature that lets users move eligible US-listed stocks and exchange-traded funds from traditional brokerage accounts into Bitget as tokenized assets, or rTokens.

Bitget did not tie the launch to any market-moving macro or company earnings event. Instead, the update focuses on reducing a practical friction point for investors: transferring existing equity exposure into a platform’s…

BitMine Immersion Technologies said it bought an additional 12,532 ether last week, increasing its Ethereum treasury and bringing the company closer to its stated accumulation target. The move comes as Ethereum’s near-term technical picture remains mixed and data cited by analysts suggests BitMine’s holdings are still sitting on large unrealized losses. The purchase lifted the company’s treasury to about 6.028 million ETH, with Chairman Thomas Lee framing the added exposure as a bet that crypto could be entering its biggest bull cycle yet. Lee’s argument rests less on immediate price action and more on structural demand drivers, including tokenization, generational…
