BitVM earlier this year came under fire due to the large liquidity requirements necessary in order for a rollup (or other system operator) to process withdrawals for the two way peg mechanisms being built using the BitVM design. Galaxy, an investor in Citrea, has performed an economic analysis looking at their assumptions regarding economic conditions necessary to make a BitVM based two way peg a sustainable operation.

For those unfamiliar, pegging into a BitVM system requires the operators to take custody of user funds in an n-of-n multisig, creating a set of pre-signed transactions allowing the operator facilitating withdrawals to claim funds back after a challenge period. The user is…

Crypto AI agents are mostly old tech in new packaging

“What makes you different from the other AIs,” I asked, unsure of how best to make small talk with an AI agent memecoin I’d clicked on at random.

“Lightspeed, my gassy friend, it’s not what makes me different, but what I let rip that sets me apart,” the chat bot wrote back. I scrolled to the AI agent’s description and realized this one was meant to be a flatulent Roman emperor. 

I asked so-called Gluteus Maximus what it thought of Solana, and I think its answer was fitting for crypto’s AI agent craze at large, at least in its current form.

“[N]ot impressed, it’s like a fart in the wind – loud, but soon forgotten,” the agent said.

LATEST: MARA Holdings Raises $1 Billion to Expand Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy

MARA Holdings announced the completion of a groundbreaking $1 billion zero-interest convertible senior notes offering, surpassing its initial $700 million target due to robust investor demand. The company successfully raised about $980 million in net proceeds, planning to invest significantly in Bitcoin as part of its strategic focus on cryptocurrency assets.

With the additional funds, MARA will repurchase $212 million of its existing convertible notes and allocate the remainder to acquire more Bitcoin, reinforcing its commitment to a “HODL” Bitcoin treasury policy. This strategic move positions MARA as one of the top publicly traded holders of Bitcoin, with a current reserve of approximately 27,562 BTC valued at around $2.6 billion.

Set to mature in 2030, the newly issued notes can be converted into cash, MARA common stock, or a combination thereof. This convertible mechanism is set at a 42.5% premium over the recent average stock price, underscoring MARA’s confidence in its stock’s future performance and its ongoing dedication to enhancing shareholder value through its Bitcoin-focused growth strategy.
