Bitcoin’s corporate treasuries and bitcoin mining sector have become two of the defining narratives of this cycle. From (Micro)Strategy’s MSTR billion-dollar balance sheet buys to the rise of MetaPlanet and the explosive growth of bitcoin mining companies, institutional and industrial adoption have emerged as powerful structural supports for the network. But now, after years of near-constant accumulation and market outperformance, the data suggests we’re entering a critical inflection point — one that could determine whether Bitcoin’s corporate treasuries and mining equities continue to lead or begin to lag as the next phase of the cycle unfolds.

Ghana’s central bank is taking a major step toward regulating the cryptocurrency sector, with plans to introduce a comprehensive legal framework by the end of 2025. Governor Johnson Asiama confirmed that a new bill has already been advanced to parliament and is expected to be tabled before December. The legislation will lay the foundation for oversight tools and capacity-building, ensuring the central bank can effectively monitor digital asset activities.

Speaking at the International Monetary Fund’s meetings in Washington, Asiama revealed that a dedicated department is being established to handle crypto regulation. He emphasized that Ghana can no longer ignore the growing role of digital assets, noting that over 3 million Ghanaians have already engaged in crypto trading. The central bank has also launched a digital sandbox to allow selected firms to test blockchain and crypto solutions under supervision.

Across Africa, nations are rapidly embracing crypto regulation. Kenya, Nigeria, and Namibia have already introduced frameworks, licensing regimes, and taxation measures. Ghana’s move signals its intent to protect consumers, stabilize its financial system, and strengthen oversight while embracing innovation.

Bitcoin price has sharply reversed course after reaching a record high above $126,000 just two weeks ago — and the downturn isn’t letting up. The price has now slipped into the $104,000 range, extending a multi-day decline that’s driven market sentiment to its most cautious level in months.

Currently, the bitcoin price is is $105,485, but the price was as low as $103,516 in early morning trading on some exchanges.

According to the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index, sentiment now stands at 22/100, marking a shift into the ‘Extreme Fear’ category. The index, which ranges from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed), is widely viewed as a gauge of investor psychology and…

Ripple Labs is pushing forward with plans to raise at least $1 billion through a new special-purpose vehicle aimed at accumulating XRP, according to Bloomberg. The fund would operate via a digital-asset treasury (DAT) structure, with Ripple contributing a portion of its own XRP holdings. If finalized, this would represent one of the largest single fundraises tied to XRP, currently valued at around $138 billion in market cap.

The move comes as crypto markets remain unsettled after last week’s U.S.–China trade shock, which wiped out nearly $19 billion in positions and sent major tokens lower. Bitcoin slipped 3% on Thursday, while altcoins faced sharper declines. Despite the turbulence, Ripple is pressing ahead, also revealing its $1 billion acquisition of GTreasury to expand into corporate treasury solutions and tokenized finance.

By consolidating XRP exposure through institutional-scale accumulation, Ripple aims to bring greater stability to the token’s supply dynamics. The firm already controls 4.7 billion XRP directly and manages another 35.9 billion via escrow, underscoring its long-term commitment to XRP’s role in payments and custody.

On October 14, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced the creation of the very first city office of its kind – a dedicated hub for digital assets and blockchain tech.

As he puts it himself, the new Digital Assets and Blockchain Office will help New York City become a frontrunner in financial innovation and even attract some top talent from around the world in the process.

Currently, New York has some of the toughest digital asset rules in the U.S., focusing on strict licensing, transparency, and consumer protection.

The new Office of Digital Assets and Blockchain Technology was born out of Executive Order 57, which Adams signed on October 14. The new office will be…

Bitcoin mining stocks felt the pain today as the broader market reacted to a third consecutive day of declines for Bitcoin. 

Many major miners are losing double-digit percentages, with Bitfarms ($BITF) leading the losses down over 18%. Riot Platforms ($RIOT) and Marathon Digital Holdings ($MARA) also saw sharp drops of 10%–11%, while Hut 8 and Strategy followed with smaller declines.

The pullback has put a dent in the momentum miners had enjoyed over the past few months, when strong BTC prices and expanding hash rates drove the sector to multi-year highs. 

Despite the rough day, much of the Bitcoin mining sector is substantially in the green over the week, with the likes…

It’s been a turbulent stretch for the crypto market, with many investors stressing as bitcoin continues to slide day by day. 

But Grant Cardone’s investment arm, Cardone Capital, doesn’t seem to be fazed, reportedly adding another 200 BTC to its holdings, following a 300-BTC purchase just last week. Cardone is doubling down, seeing opportunity where others see risk.

In a recent interview with Bitcoin Magazine, Cardone elaborated on his perspective, framing money and attention as nearly identical “formulas.”

“I got to keep [my money] stored some place. Saving it doesn’t keep it because it’s going down in value,” he said, basically saying that traditional…
