Bitcoin miner hash rate has experienced a significant decline since mid-October, falling sharply despite years of near-uninterrupted growth. This pullback reflects genuine bitcoin miner capitulation driven by deteriorating profitability in the face of Bitcoin’s recent price weakness. However, could this bitcoin miner shift actually provide a golden opportunity?

The Bitcoin network’s total computational hash rate has entered a notable downtrend since October 18th, reversing what has otherwise been a consistent multi-year climb. The hash ribbons indicator, which compares the 30-day moving average of hash rate against the 60-day moving average, has…

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced the launch of a U.S. digital assets pilot program that will allow bitcoin, ethereum and the stablecoin USDC to be used as collateral in regulated derivatives markets, marking another major policy shift in how U.S. regulators approach tokenized assets.

The move includes new guidance for tokenized collateral, a limited no-action framework for futures commission merchants (FCMs), and the withdrawal of legacy restrictions that the agency said are no longer relevant following passage of the GENIUS Act.

Bitcoin Price Weekly Outlook

Last week was a bit of a roller coaster ride, while bears kicked the price down to the $84,000 support level early in the week, bulls stepped in down there to rally the price up to the $94,000 resistance level. From there, the price dropped once again, just below $88,000 on Sunday morning, before seeing a small rally to close the week out at $90,429.
