Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Gilbertie also dismissed comparisons between the current blockchain market and a speculative bubble, saying the industry was “not even close” to that stage yet.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/ripple">XRP’s price</a> was trading at $1.42, up over 1% in the last 24 hours.

He added that the listed blockchain infrastructure equities had recently outperformed several major altcoins.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/ethereum">Ethereum’s price</a> was up over 1% during the past 24 hours.

"A Sea Change': VanEck's Sigel Says Bitcoin Headed Back To Record Highs

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins said the current regulatory framework for crypto is rooted in a “1930s-type” system on Monday.</li><li>He said legacy disclosure processes were not suited for token-based ecosystems and create heavy legal and compliance burdens.</li><li>Senator Cynthia Lummis signaled that the CLARITY Act could be marked up in May.</li></ul>The head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said that crypto markets were still regulated under a framework designed nearly a century ago. Speaking at the Bitcoin Conference 2026 in Las Vegas, SEC Chair Paul Atkins said that the agency’s current framework reflected a “1930s-type” system and was not built for today's digital assets.Atkins, the first SEC President to speak at the conference, sat down for a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIXhrz8zpOo&amp;t=168s">conversation</a> with Digital Chamber founder Perianne Boring, cited legacy disclosure systems and legal definitions that don’t fit blockchain-based markets as reasons behind the struggles. He said that there was a need for reform from that “1930s type of thing,” which would “future-proof what's going forward.”Atkins also pointed to long-standing confusion among regulators, saying that overlap in oversight by the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has historically created uncertainty for crypto firms trying to establish where they fall under the law.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Tokenized Equities In Focus</h2>Atkins also discussed tokenized equities at the conference, describing them as a key area where blockchain could reshape financial markets. He said the technology could enable faster, near-instant settlement of trades and reduce the number of intermediaries involved, noting that current systems involve multiple steps between execution and final settlement.&nbsp;According to Atkins, shortening this gap could help reduce financial system risk while opening the door to more efficient market structures.Atkins has maintained that crypto assets such as Bitcoin are digital commodities.&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/21/cnbc-excerpts-sec-chair-paul-atkins-speaks-with-cnbcs-squawk-box-today.html">Speaking</a> with CNBC last year, Atkins said the “SEC informally stated” that Bitcoin and Ethereum were “not a security,” referring to the SEC's treatment of the cryptocurrencies as securities.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin’s price</a> was trading at $76,745, down over 1% during the last 24 hours.

By contrast, Atkins described the current phase as a “new day” at the SEC, saying the agency was now more focused on enabling innovation and keeping digital asset activity within the United States rather than pushing firms “offshore.”Senator Cynthia Lummis also&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/clarity-act-markup-set-for-may-says-senator-cynthia-lummis-eyeing-finish-line-after-3-month-delay/cZBNU4aRePq">noted</a> at the conference that the CLARITY Act could be marked up in May after earlier delays, although Boring acknowledged that the events leading to that may not be “guaranteed.”Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/unc-ape-rally-hard-while-bitcoins-holds-key-to-a-market-shift/cZB8AhrRe5q">LUNC, APE Rally Hard While Bitcoin’s $79K Level Holds The Key To A Market Shift</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Bitcoin ETFs Record Highest Inflows Since October Crash, But Retail Doubts The Rally

Spot Bitcoin ETFs logged $840.6 million in inflows on Wednesday, according to Farside Investors data.

Bitcoin (BTC) came within 1% of a fresh all-time high in afternoon trade Friday, lifted by a broader cryptocurrency rally as the U.S. government shutdown entered its third day.<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/BTC.X">Bitcoin’s price</a> has gained&nbsp;1.75% over the past 24 hours to about $122,300, after touching an intraday peak of $123,996, just 1% shy of its August 14 record of $124,290, according to Coinbase&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.coinbase.com/en-in/price/bitcoin">data</a>.The overall cryptocurrency market rose over&nbsp;3% to over&nbsp;$4.3 trillion. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits around the apex cryptocurrency surged to ‘extremely bullish’ from ‘bullish’ territory over the past day amid ‘high’ levels of chatter. Since the U.S. government&nbsp;entered a shutdown&nbsp;on Wednesday, Bitcoin has gained&nbsp;more than 8%.&nbsp;According to Standard Chartered’s Global Head of Digital Assets Research, Geoff Kendrick, Bitcoin was&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/standard-chartered-sees-bitcoin-reaching-new-record-high-in-a-week/chCujhfR3QR">slated</a> to hit a new record and should rally as high as $135,000. “The shutdown matters this time around,” he wrote. “During the previous Trump shutdown, Bitcoin was in a different place than now, so it did little. However, this year Bitcoin has traded with ‘U.S. government risks’ as best shown by its relationship to U.S. treasury term premium.”Kendrick stated that Bitcoin has deviated from a historical pattern in which prices typically fell about 18 months after a halving. If that had been the case, the April 2024 halving would have been followed by price weakness now, he noted.&nbsp;Bitcoin has a strong track record in October, a month traders have dubbed ‘Uptober,’ with gains in nine of the past 10 years. A push toward $135,000 would represent roughly&nbsp;9% upside from current levels.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/coinbase-one-comes-to-samsung-wallet-in-us-expansion-to-follow/chCum4zR3Qe">Coinbase One Comes To Samsung Wallet In US, Expansion To Follow In Next Few Months</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
