HTX  Creation Challenge — Post and Win 1,500U 💥

Benchmark Equity Research reiterated its "buy" rating and $27 price target on Bitdeer Technologies, citing the stock's re-rating potential as a bitcoin miner transitioning into AI/HPC infrastructure.

Bitdeer shares (BTDR) surged nearly 21% Wednesday following Hut 8's (HUT) announcement of a massive 352 MW AI data center deal at Beacon Point, highlighting investor enthusiasm for hybrid bitcoin mining/AI firms, the analysts led by Mark Palmer said in a note on Thursday.

With that in mind, BTDR trades at a "comparatively inexpensive" 4.5x forward EV/revenue despite possessing similar power access, vertical integration, and proprietary chip development capabilities.

Bitdeer’s AI cloud ARR hit $43 million as of end-March, a 105% jump month-over-month, and management expressed strong demand from AI agents and enterprise workloads, Benchmark said.

"In the burgeoning subsector of hybrid bitcoin mining/AI-HPC stocks, in which many of the most visible names have already 'mooned' on AI enthusiasm, BTDR remains comparatively inexpensive despite possessing some of the same foundational elements that investors are now aggressively rewarding elsewhere: large-scale power access, vertically integrated infrastructure, and increasingly sophisticated proprietary chip development capabilities," Benchmark wrote.

Notably, BTDR continues to advance its proprietary SEALMINER A4 mining chip roadmap, with a 69.5 EH/s self-mining hashrate in March.

"The company’s vertical integration strategy reduces its dependence on third-party ASIC suppliers while allowing it to internalize hardware economics historically captured elsewhere in the mining ecosystem," Benchmark noted.

Bitdeer produced 661 BTC in March and boasts a total hashrate under management of ~78 EH/s. The Block previously reported that this figure makes Bitdeer the largest miner by total compute, ahead of

What’s Expected for Bitcoin (BTC) Price by Year-End? Option Bulls’ Movements Analyzed: Two Levels Stand Out!The leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin ($BTC), surged above $82,000 on news of a possible deal between the US and Iran, coupled with institutional support. However, new developments regarding the conflict in the Middle East pushed $BTC back below $80,000.

However, this recent downturn did not affect the options market, and it entered an upward trend.

Accordingly, options investors are targeting $115,000 for Bitcoin by the end of the year.

According to the data, the number of investors betting that Bitcoin will rise above $115,000 by the end of 2026 in the options market is steadily increasing.

The 33% price increase since the annual low of $60,130 on February 6th is playing a significant role in increasing bullish expectations.

It is estimated that there is approximately $6 billion in open positions in Bitcoin options that expire on December 25th.

A significant portion of this consists of call option bets on the Bitcoin price rising above $115,000. Open positions for $115,000 and above are approximately $1.85 billion.

However, at prices of $55,000 and below, there is a $1 billion put option, a figure that is also noteworthy.

This means that options traders are betting on extreme price expectations in both bullish and bearish markets. If the bulls appear overly optimistic, those taking short positions appear equally overly pessimistic.

Iren stock stretches higher, but overbought momentum warns of a pause

Iren stock remains in a clear bullish regime, and that still defines the broader setup. However, the move looks stretched across the daily and hourly charts, while shorter-term signals point to consolidation rather than a fresh momentum breakout.

Iren Stock Analysis: Daily Trend Still Favors the Bulls

Iren stock closed at 60.66, well above the 20-day EMA at 48.86, the 50-day EMA at 45.57, and the 200-day EMA at 39.72. That separation reflects a strong trend rather than a fragile rebound. It also shows buyers still control the broader structure.

Notably, the daily close sits above the upper Bollinger Band at 59.12 and almost exactly on the daily pivot at 60.55. That reflects strong upside pressure. However, it also shows the move has become extended in the short run.

Momentum Remains Positive but Overbought

Momentum still supports the bullish thesis. Daily RSI stands at 70.64, which is an overbought reading. In practice, that does not automatically signal a reversal. Still, it warns that upside may become less efficient and more volatile from here.

At the same time, daily MACD remains firmly positive. The MACD line is at 3.76, above the signal line at 2.42, with a histogram of 1.34. Therefore, trend momentum remains aligned with the bulls, even if the pace of the advance now looks aggressive.

Volatility is also elevated. Daily ATR is 4.17, which is meaningful relative to the current price. That helps explain the wider intraday swings. As a result, traders should expect larger ranges and sharper pullbacks even if the broader uptrend remains intact.

BNY Mellon has increased its holdings in Strategy (MSTR) to 1 million shares worth about $187.2 million, deepening its use of the Bitcoin treasury company as a proxy for BTC exposure without holding coins directly. Summary The Bank of New York Mellon has bought an additional 101,810 shares of Strategy, a Bitcoin treasury company, in a move worth about $18.7 million. The purchase brings BNY Mellon's total Strategy holdings to 1 million shares, with an aggregate value of roughly $187.2 million at current prices. The bank, which oversees around $2.1 trillion in assets under management, joins a growing list of large institutions building sizable positions in Strategy as a proxy for Bitcoin exposure. The Bank of New York Mellon has disclosed that it increased its holdings in Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) by 101,810 shares, according to a filing highlighted by BitcoinTreasuries on X. At a reference price of about $183.50 per share, the incremental buy is worth approximately $18.7 million and lifts BNY Mellon's total position to 1 million shares, valued near $187.2 million. A recent Form 13F summary shows BNY Mellon reporting 33,189 equity positions with an aggregate value of roughly $567.7 billion, underscoring that the $187.2 million Strategy stake remains a small but non-trivial slice of its broader portfolio. For context, BNY manages about $2.1 trillion in assets under management and another $45 trillion in assets under custody and administration, making it one of the world's largest custodians. Strategy-formerly known as MicroStrategy—has effectively turned itself into the largest listed Bitcoin treasury vehicle. Data
from BitcoinTreasuries indicate the company now holds around 818,334 BTC, worth about $66.6 billion as of May 7, 2026, giving it more Bitcoin than any other public company and more than many nation-states. That balance-sheet exposure means e

AI agents could solve crypto’s user problem



The crypto industry’s embrace of AI is less about chatbots and more about building financial infrastructure for autonomous machines, says Chappy Asel, a former Apple engineer and founder of AI nonprofit The AI Collective.

Speaking at Consensus Miami, Asel, founder of The AI Collective, a global nonprofit AI community with more than 200,000 members across 150+ chapters, argued that as software agents increasingly make economic decisions on behalf of users and businesses, they will need payment systems capable of handling low-latency, programmable transactions at scale.

“When agents make the majority of financial decisions, economic decisions, how do they transact with each other?” Asel said during the panel. “You want them to be highly systematic, mechanistic. You want very small, micro transactions. You want very low latency.”

Asel, who previously worked on Apple’s Vision Pro and early Apple Intelligence efforts before launching The AI Collective, framed the convergence of crypto and AI through a practical lens.

“The number one thing that I've heard kind of throughout this conference... even my friends who only know about AI, they know nothing about blockchain, is they've heard about agentic payments,” he said.

Stablecoins already offer 24/7 settlement and smart contracts allow programmable execution. Marrying them together is the only logical way agentic payments — without a human in the middle — can become mainstream.

Still, the thesis remains early. AI agents are still nascent, and many companies today rely on centralized APIs and conventional payment systems. Attempts to build “agentic payments” infrastructure have so far generated little meaningful commercial activity, suggesting the narrative may be developing faster than actual demand.

ECB chief Christine Lagarde raises fresh concerns over euro stablecoinsEuropean Central Bank President Christine Lagarde has intensified her opposition to euro-denominated stablecoins, warning that the risks to financial stability and monetary control outweigh any benefit to the euro’s international role.

Speaking Friday at the Banco de Espana LatAm Economic Forum in Spain, Lagarde argued that Europe does not need to replicate the stablecoin models that have emerged around the U.S. dollar. She said the technological benefits tied to blockchain-based payments can instead be delivered through public infrastructure supported by central bank money.

“The case for promoting euro-denominated stablecoins is far weaker than it appears,” Lagarde said during the event.

Her remarks targeted growing calls within Europe to develop a local stablecoin ecosystem under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation framework. Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel publicly supported that idea earlier this year, while several European banks and payment firms have already started preparing regulated products.

Lagarde separated what she described as the monetary role of stablecoins from their technological use. According to the ECB president, reserve-currency expansion tied to privately issued tokens creates vulnerabilities that Europe’s financial system cannot easily absorb.

Ripple (XRP) Has Announced Another Major Partnership: They’ve Been on the Offensive LatelyTrustLinq, a cryptocurrency payment infrastructure provider, has announced the integration of its cross-border payment network, Ripple Payments.

The company announced that, thanks to this integration, it has expanded its direct settlement model for payments from crypto assets to fiat currencies on a global scale.

TrustLinq stated that one of the biggest problems in the crypto ecosystem is the complex structure of the conversion processes from cryptocurrencies to fiat currencies. The company explained that when users want to send a payment to a vendor, contractor, landlord, or supplier, they have to go through many intermediaries, including exchanges, custodial accounts, off-ramp providers, sending banks, and correspondent banking checks. TrustLinq was developed to eliminate this chain, the statement added.

As part of the new integration, TrustLinq will now operate on the Ripple Payments infrastructure. This will enable direct crypto-to-fiat transfers in payment corridors where traditional banking systems struggle to provide service. The company stated that the existing user experience will be preserved and users will continue to be able to make payments directly from their self-custodial stablecoin wallets.
