In an escalation of the Bitcoin OP_RETURN war, the leader of an initiative to change the world’s most popular software for Bitcoin nodes is proposing an unusual punishment for anybody attempting to slow his upcoming change to the network. Insisting that Bitcoin Core’s default mempool should accommodate large amounts of corporate data storage and information unrelated to the on-chain movement of bitcoin (BTC), Peter Todd is coding up a severe punishment for node operators filtering large transactions from operators of Libre Relay, Todd’s accommodative creation. Currently, default mempool settings of Bitcoin Core node software will not relay large OP_RETURN outputs. On the other hand, direct-to-miner mempools like MARA Slipstream will accept these non-standard transactions, as will Todd’s Libre Relay. However, people who don’t like Todd’s Libre Relay accommodation of corporate data storage have created so-called “garbageman” software that penalizes Libre Relay node ope...

Over 30% of Bitcoin’s (BTC) circulating supply is now concentrated in the hands of just 216 centralized entities, according to the latest blockchain data from a Gemini and Glassnode report.  The trend reflects both expanding institutional adoption and growing custodial centralization in the world’s largest cryptocurrency. The scale of this shift is striking. A decade ago, centralized exchanges collectively held just under 600,000 BTC for their users. Today the total amount of Bitcoin held across major institutional and custodial entities has surged to an estimated 6,145,207 BTC, a 924% increase over the past ten years. With this centralization comes as Bitcoin’s spot price continues to climb. Since early 2015, Bitcoin has risen from below $1,000 to now trading above $107,000, reinforcing its growing appeal as a strategic asset among large institutional players. The data spans 216 entities across six key categories: centralized exchanges, ETFs and funds, public comp...

Crypto exchange Bullish, backed by billionaire Peter Thiel, has filed confidential paperwork with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an initial public offering (IPO), the Financial Times reported. The filing makes it possible for the company to progress their listing plans before publicly revealing their financials closer to pursuing a flotation. American investment bank Jefferies has been proposed as the lead underwriter for the IPO, the report said, citing sources familiar with the matter.  There has been no confirmation of the filing from Bullish or Jefferies. Not The First Time Bullish Is Trying To Go Public This is not the first time the Thiel-backed crypto exchange has attempted to go public.  In 2021, the firm tried to list through a special purpose acquisition vehicle. That attempt fell through in 2022 following a stock market pullback due to rising interest rates.  Peter Thiel’s Bullish Joins Growing List Of Companies Trying To Capi...
