A megawatt leased to an AI tenant now commands a different price on Wall Street than a megawatt sitting in a Bitcoin miner's pipeline, and the distance between the two has become the central pricing question for the entire sector.

Iran's foreign minister said negotiations with the US will begin the same day both countries sign a memorandum of understanding, with a 60-day window afterward to resolve the nuclear issue and secure sanctions relief.

Crypto yield has always carried a credibility problem. The same market that learned to demand proof after incentive-heavy protocols unwound still tends to compress risk into a single APY. That tension sits at the center of Solstice’s pitch: whether stablecoin-native, delta-neutral strategies can become usable yield infrastructure without recreating the same opacity, reflexive incentives, and […]

Bitcoin's current relief rally is built on the back of the framework agreement between the US and Iran to halt their conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which sent Brent crude down roughly 5% to $82.95 and rippled through every asset that trades on inflation expectations.

Bitcoin's protocol rewards miners through block subsidies and transaction fees, leaving holders who sit on coins with no claim on the network's output, no interest, no dividend, no staking reward of any kind.
