Chun Wang, the Chinese-born Maltese entrepreneur who founded the Bitcoin mining pool F2Pool, has joined SpaceX’s first planned interplanetary mission to Mars after “purchasing” the mission.SpaceX announced Thursday that the two-year-long mission will explore beyond the moon, fly by Mars, and return to Earth.

Technical Pressure Builds AAVE is trading in a precarious position as technical indicators align to suggest downward pressure in the near term.

The current price action reflects broader weakness in the DeFi sector, where tokens have struggled to maintain upward momentum despite periodic recovery attempts. Blockchain.news analysis shows this pattern has become…

Crypto lender Ledn says the consumer bitcoin-backed loan market could grow nearly 300-fold to as much as $1 trillion within the next decade, as demand for borrowing against digital assets far outpaces actual usage.The forecast accompanied new research conducted by consumer insights firm Protocol Theory, which surveyed 1,244 cryptocurrency holders across the U.S. and Australia between February and March this year. The study found that while 88% of respondents said they would consider using a crypto-backed loan or credit product, only 14% currently do so, revealing what Ledn described as a “6-to-1 consideration-to-adoption gap.”Ledn estimates the bitcoin-backed consumer lending market…

AAVE’s Technical Breakdown AAVE is facing significant technical pressure at $83.18 after a sharp 5.38% daily decline. The token has broken through critical support levels and now trades dangerously close to the lower Bollinger Band at $82.88. The RSI reading of 32.65 approaches oversold territory, but momentum remains bearish with the MACD histogram sitting flat at zero, indicating no meaningful buying interest. The moving average structure reveals the extent of the damage. AAVE trades 38% below its 200-day SMA at $135.16 and cannot reclaim even the short-term 7-day SMA at $87.38. This represents a systematic breakdown rather than a temporary…

About 70% of all wrench attacks, physical attacks against crypto holders and their families, carried out in an attempt to steal digital assets, occur in France, according to Bitcoin journalist Joe Nakamoto. There have been 41 crypto-related kidnappings in France so far in 2026, Nakamoto said, or about one attack every two and a half days, he added. He attributed the rise in wrench attacks to know-your-customer data collection, which is stored in centralized servers that were compromised in several high-profile data leaks, including the 2020 leak of hardware wallet provider Ledger’s customer data.An overview of wrench attacks in France so far…

AAVE’s Technical Reality Check AAVE is trading in no man’s land at $88.35, caught between conflicting signals that reveal a market in transition. The RSI at 39.79 sits comfortably in neutral territory, suggesting neither euphoria nor panic—exactly where smart money accumulates before the next move. The MACD histogram has flatlined at zero, indicating that bearish momentum is exhausted rather than accelerating. The Bollinger Band positioning tells the real story. At 0.21 on the scale, AAVE is hugging the lower band at $84.77, historically a zone where oversold conditions reverse. Trading 35% below the 200-day SMA at $135.69, this DeFi heavyweight…
