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.

Tvardi Therapeutics (TVRD) on Monday said that its TTI-101, being evaluated in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), showed no benefit over placebo in a mid-stage trial.The trial was designed to assess safety, pharmacokinetics, and exploratory outcomes related to lung function in patients with IPF. Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is a progressive lung disease where lung tissue thickens and scars, making it difficult to breathe.

Furthermore, lower discontinuation rates were observed in the placebo group compared to the therapy-treated arms, it added.The company also noted that patients who demonstrated changes in the lung’s Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) were 41% for the placebo, and 39% and 44% for the 400mg and 800mg TTI-101-treated arms, respectively.“In the aggregate, we did not observe a benefit of TTI-101 treatment in this IPF study.

Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. (CDTX) on Thursday said that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for its drug CD388 for the prevention of influenza A and B in adults and adolescents who are at higher risk of disease-related complications.The new designation is in addition to the Fast Track designation granted to the drug by the agency in June 2023. CEO Jeffrey Stein said that the designations underscore the importance of the drug as a potential new non-vaccine prophylactic for seasonal influenza.“Individuals who have chronic medical conditions, advanced age, or are immune compromised may not be adequately protected by current vaccines, leaving them at higher risk for infection and complications from flu. As a long-acting prophylactic drug, CD388’s activity does not rely on an immune response, making it a potential prevention option for high-risk individuals as well as those for whom vaccines are contraindicated,” he <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/10/09/3164062/0/en/Cidara-Therapeutics-Receives-U-S-FDA-Breakthrough-Therapy-Designation-for-CD388-in-Seasonal-Influenza-Prevention.html">added</a>.The Breakthrough Therapy designation was awarded to the drug based on the results of a study in which CD388 provided statistically significant prevention of seasonal influenza in healthy unvaccinated adults aged 18-64. The company is now looking toward advancing the drug through its ongoing late-stage trial.The Breakthrough Therapy designation is intended to expedite the review of medicines that treat a serious or life-threatening condition. Benefits of the designation include eligibility for priority review and the FDA’s organizational commitment to involving senior management to guide the company on the most efficient route to approval, the company noted.Shares of the company rose 8% at the time of writing.
