ANTPOOL, Block Inc, F2Pool, Foundry, Spiderpool, MARA Foundation & DMND Join Stratum v2 Working Group

The Stratum v2 Working Group announces today that ANTPOOL, Block Inc, F2Pool, Foundry, Spiderpool, MARA Foundation, and DMND have joined the working group to advance the adoption of the Stratum v2 protocol.

The working group was founded in 2022 by Braiins and Spiral to develop and maintain the Stratum v2 protocol as an open and vendor-neutral specification usable by the Bitcoin mining ecosystem. The protocol is an upgrade to the original Stratum mining protocol, bringing massive efficiency gains, privacy, security, and functionality that can be used to improve overall mining decentralization.

The onboarding of the new members, all substantial players in the mining ecosystem, represents a big leap forward for the working group’s progress in ensuring proper functioning and compatibility across real-world mining operations at scale. It also shows a growing consensus in the mining ecosystem that Stratum v2 is the direction to take going into the future.

“We’re proud to support the broader adoption of Stratum V2. Aligning around an open, interoperable standard enables the industry to collaborate more effectively and drive improvements in efficiency, security and decentralization,” said Andy Zhou, CEO of ANTPOOL.

Stratum v2 supports mechanisms for more efficient management of large fleets of miners, is end-to-end encrypted, and allows individual miners to produce their own block templates with supporting pools (among other features).

Kenway Wang, CTO of Spiderpool had this to say: “Decentralization is core to our mission. Stratum V2 supports this by enabling miner-constructed templates, while also improving efficiency, especially for miners in bandwidth-constrained environments.”

The chairman of BitMine Immersion Technologies, Tom Lee, contended that the firm could reduce its ETH buying activity. This is because BitMine is almost at its goal of owning 5% of ETH’s total supply.

The chairman of BitMine Immersion Technologies, Tom Lee, contended that the firm could reduce its ETH buying activity. This is because BitMine is almost at its goal of owning  5% of ETH’s total supply. The firm’s team nicknamed this accumulation effort “the alchemy of 5%.”

BitMine has accumulated more than 4% of the total ETH supply in under 12 months. This percentage was calculated since it began adding the second-largest crypto to its holdings.

In a keynote speech at the Consensus crypto conference in Miami, Lee admitted they had achieved this milestone unexpectedly quickly. Initially, they thought it would take five years.

BitMine seeks to remain competitive in the crypto industry 

BitMine purchases more than 100,000 ETH weekly. This acquisition is approximately $230 million. However, Lee hinted that the company might stop buying once holdings exceed 5.18 million ETH. 

“I believe we will reduce our buying speed. I’m not sure we want to reach 5% too quickly,” the Chairman asserted. Regarding BitMine’s goal, he argued that, “If we keep buying 100,000 ETH each week, we’ll hit that target in about six weeks.” 

Afterward, Lee noted that they are slowing the accumulation to focus on other crypto opportunities. He did not outline these opportunities but mentioned that his firm’s diverse activities were beneficial.

Other achievements BitMine accomplished include introducing the Made in America Validator Network (MAVAN) for Ethereum staking. It has also made investments in MrBeast’s Beast Industries and Eightco.

Lee commented, “In our opinion, the risk versus reward looks great for BitMine since we have many investments out there.”  “We’re involved in Ethereum, staking, several high-risk opportunities, and of course the stock,” he added.

The Bank of England is showing signs that it may ease parts of its proposed stablecoin framework after strong criticism from crypto companies, legal experts, and digital asset advocates who argue that some of the rules could make sterling-backed stablecoins commercially unattractive and drive innovation outside the UK.

At the center of the debate is how Britain should regulate stablecoins that could eventually become widely used for payments and settlements. While the Bank says the framework is designed to protect financial stability and consumer trust, critics warn that the UK risks falling behind the United States and the European Union as those jurisdictions move faster to establish workable digital asset regimes.

The Bank of England launched its consultation on systemic sterling stablecoins in November, setting out rules for issuers whose tokens could become large enough to pose broader financial stability risks.

Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden later told lawmakers that the central bank remained open to revisiting aspects of the framework after receiving industry feedback.

“Today’s proposals mark a pivotal step towards implementing the UK’s stablecoin regime next year,” Breeden said in the Bank’s consultation announcement. “Our objective remains to support innovation and build trust in this emerging form of money.”

She added: “We’ve listened carefully to feedback and amended our proposals for achieving this, including on how stablecoin issuers interact with the Bank of England.”

Under the current proposal, issuers would be permitted to hold up to 60% of reserves in short-term UK government debt, while the remaining 40% would sit in non-interest-bearing deposits at the Bank of England. The framework also introduces temporary holding caps of 20,000 pounds for individuals and 10 million pounds for businesses.

Reuters later reported that

Bitcoin’s potential bull run return faces pandemic-style fear as Hantavirus scare gets amplified

Bitcoin’s return above $80,000 has brought back a question traders have not had to confront at scale since 2020: how does the world’s largest digital asset behave when a health scare, rather than rates, regulation, or crypto-native leverage, becomes the market’s dominant risk headline?

The immediate trigger is a hantavirus outbreak aboard the MV Hondius, a luxury cruise ship en route to the Canary Islands.

On May 6, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed a cluster of severe respiratory illnesses on board, including two confirmed cases, five suspected infections, and three deaths as of May 4.

This comes as the flagship digital asset traded as high as $82,752 earlier this week, extending a rebound that has restored confidence after months of volatile macro trading.

Yet the timing of the hantavirus headlines has complicated that move, as $BTC now faces concerns about whether it can absorb a shock that would once have triggered a broad rush for cash.

Coinbase has announced it will suspend trading for 12 perpetual futures contracts at 1:00 p.m. UTC on May 21. The move affects a diverse set of tokens, including $KAITO, $SENT, $SAHARA, $CAKE, $TOSHI, $AKT, $VET, ANIME, $THETA, ZK, KERNEL, and $BARD. The exchange has not yet provided a detailed public explanation for the delistings, but such actions typically follow internal reviews of market liquidity, trading volume, and compliance risk.The list spans several categories within the crypto ecosystem. $KAITO and ANIME are relatively newer tokens tied to AI and entertainment-themed projects, respectively. $CAKE, the native token of PancakeSwap, and $VET, from the VeChain blockchain, are more established assets. $THETA, focused on decentralized video streaming, and $AKT, the token for Akash Network, represent infrastructure plays. ZK tokens, often associated with zero-knowledge proof projects, and KERNEL, a protocol token, round out the more technically oriented listings. $SENT, $SAHARA, $TOSHI, and $BARD are smaller-cap tokens that may have faced liquidity challenges.For traders holding open positions in these perpetual futures, the deadline means they must close or roll over their positions before the halt. Failure to do so could result in automatic settlement at the prevailing market price, which may lead to unexpected losses. The announcement underscores the importance of monitoring exchange notices, particularly for leveraged products.Perpetual futures are a popular derivative product that allows traders to speculate on price movements without an expiration date, using leverage. When an exchange delists such contracts, it often signals low trading volume or heightened regulatory scrutiny. The affected tokens may experience increased volatility in the days leading up to the halt as traders adjust positions. Some projects may see their broader

US stocks traded near record levels on Thursday as oil prices extended their decline. Investors watched signs of progress in talks between the United States and Iran, while fresh labor data showed continued strength in the job market.

The S&P 500 and NASDAQ stayed close to record highs, supported by lower crude prices, strong technology demand and steady economic data. However, some chip stocks slipped, and company earnings reports drove sharp moves in Snap, Whirlpool, and Datadog.

Bitcoin prices rebounded, and 5 free Bitcoin cloud mining and XRP access platforms in 2026 attracted attention, offering easy ways to earn passive income

Bitcoin's recent rebound has brought renewed attention to the wider digital asset market. People are again looking at platform-based options to try Bitcoin cloud mining and other ways to access crypto services. As the market steadies and some risk appetite returns, hosted participation services, app-style dashboards, and infrastructure-focused platforms are attracting fresh interest from both newcomers and existing users.

At the same time, it helps to separate Bitcoin mining from XRP-related platform access. Mining is still part of how Bitcoin works, but XRP doesn't rely on mining in the same way.
