A battle over energy cost is brewing in the crypto space, as a new report from technical analyst Bullrunners pits Bitcoin’s (BTC) energy-hungry Proof of Work (PoW) system against XRP’s comparatively lightweight network. The new analysis has thrown fresh fuel on one of crypto’s oldest rivals, sparking intense debate among crypto community members as they attempt to defend their preferred blockchain network.

XRP Vs. Bitcoin’s Energy Cost

A new report from Bullrunners has reignited the long-standing debate between Bitcoin and XRP, this time over a striking difference in energy consumption between the two networks. According to the report, posted on X this Tuesday, XRP consumed just $73,000 worth of electricity to run its entire network over the course of a full year. Bitcoin, by contrast, used over $10 billion in electricity during the same period.

Breaking that down further, Bullrunners shared an image which showed that a single Bitcoin transaction carries an energy cost equivalent to powering an average American household for 38 to 49 days, consuming between 1,100 and 1,400 kilowatt-hours (kWh). Meanwhile, a single XRP transaction uses approximately 0.0079 kilowatt-hours (kWh), roughly the amount of energy needed to power a light bulb for a few seconds.

Based on this sheer difference in energy consumption, Bullrunners concluded that the XRP network uses up to 99.999% less energy than Bitcoin.

Notably, a major reason for this extraordinary energy gap is how each blockchain network validates transactions. Bitcoin’s PoW system requires miners worldwide to continuously compete by solving complex mathematical puzzles using energy-intensive hardware that consumes vast amounts of electricity.

On the other hand, XRP relies on a special XRP Ledger (XRPL) Protocol Consensus algorithm. Instead of mining, a group of trusted nodes communicates and votes across several rounds until they reach an agreement on which transactions are valid. With no competition and no energy-int

Block's Square unit stands to gain most from Dorsey's AI pivot, analysts say
Block reported impressive financial results and guidance, illustrating building financial momentum, according to analysts at William Blair.

CEO Jack Dorsey also said Block is cutting nearly 4,000 jobs as AI and “intelligence tools” are fundamentally changing how the company operates.
Block Inc., the digital payments company behind Square and Cash App, reported "impressive" fourth-quarter earnings and forward guidance, though most of the headlines have focused on the company's pivot towards artificial intelligence tools.

Block BXYZ0% on Thursday afternoon reported operating income of $485 million, while adjusted operating income grew to $588 million. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $116 million, and adjusted EBITDA was $930 million. The firm raised its gross profit guidance to $12.2 billion for 2026, which would be up 18% year over year.
Block also bought an additional 103 bitcoin and now holds 8,883 BTC, worth around $577 million at current prices, giving it the fourteenth-largest corporate bitcoin treasury.

"At least as important," William Blair equity analysts Andrew Jeffrey and Adib Choudhury wrote in a note to clients, "Block announced that it is reducing headcount by more than 40% as it moves to an intelligence-centric model. The company is the first fintech we cover to reassess the fundamental nature of its workforce and how it will compete and drive ROIC."

Block is reducing its staff from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000, which CEO Jack Dorsey said is a move to become "smaller", "flatter," and AI-first. In the immediate aftermath, it was noted that Block more than tripled its headcount from 3,900 to 12,500 between December 2019 and December 2022, during the pandemic.

比特币达到 54,420 美元之前购买可能为时过早

在比特币达到 54,320 美元之前购买可能为时过早。至少，根据 TradingView 的数据，应用布林带的 $BTC/USD 月线图显示了这样的情况。

根据这一指标（它不仅衡量资产的波动性，还衡量当前市场占主导地位的倾向），在比特币价格于 2025 年 12 月跌破由 20 个月移动平均线代表的中轨后，其主要磁石变成了 54,420 美元的下轨

虽然在12月，这个价位似乎遥不可及，但两个月后，在领先的加密货币下跌近30%之后，这样的价位不再显得那么不真实。总的来说，比特币还需要下跌约17%才能达到月线图的下轨。

为什么54,420美元的价位是比特币($BTC)值得关注的磁石

从历史角度来看，正是月线图的下轨标志着2022年市场的底部，当时比特币触及18,622美元，触及了该下轨。

去中心化交易所 Uniswap 在与竞争对手 Bancor 相关的实体提起的诉讼初期阶段取得了一项重要的程序性胜利。纽约一位联邦法官作出的裁决可能会影响未来有关软件专利的纠纷。该诉讼由 Bprotocol 基金会和 LocalCoin Ltd. 于 2025 年 5 月提起，指控 Uniswap 的去中心化交易所未经授权使用了专利机制，特别是恒定乘积自动做市商 (CPAMM) 模型。Bancor 则辩称其模型受其专利保护，并寻求侵权赔偿。消息人士援引 2 月 10 日（周二）公布的一份书面意见称，纽约南区联邦地区法院法官 John Koeltl 批准了被告方的动议，撤销了 Bprotocol 基金会和 LocalCoin Ltd. 此前对 Universal Navigation Inc. 和 Uniswap 基金会提起的诉讼。根据法官的备忘录意见，涉案专利“主张的是抽象概念”，因此不符合美国法律规定的专利保护条件。 法院裁定，这些专利缺乏必要的要素，例如能够使其具备可授予专利权的“创造性概念”。Uniswap 在与 Bancor 的专利诉讼中赢得了第一回合的胜利。报道指出，在 Uniswap 的案件中，法院认定这些专利仅仅涵盖了加密货币汇率计算的抽象概念。法院的裁决意味着这些专利未能满足美国最高法院关于专利资格的两步框架。虽然这一裁决对 Uniswap 来说是一次法律上的胜利，但值得注意的是，该决定仍可上诉。与此同时，报道称，该案已被驳回，但允许原告在 21 天内提交修改后的诉状。期限届满后，驳回将被视为最终裁决。另一方面，Uniswap 的首席执行官 Hayden Adams 在法院裁决后不久在 X 上发布了一条简短的帖子，称“一位律师刚刚告诉我，我们赢了。” 鉴于最终判决尚未下达，记者联系了Bprotocol基金会和Uniswap，希望就此事发表评论。然而，两家机构均拒绝回应。尽管如此，消息人士援引了Bancor早前的一份声明，其中Bancor指控Uniswap侵犯了与去中心化交易所中使用的恒定乘积自动做市商系统相关的专利。争议的焦点在于Uniswap的协议是否不当使用了专利技术来实现代币定价和流动性池的自动化管理。然而，Koeltl法官坚持认为，“这些专利涉及的是计算货币汇率以进行交易的抽象概念。”他进一步阐述道，“货币兑换是一种基本的经济活动。根据联邦巡回法院既定的规则，计算定价信息被认为是抽象的。” Koeltl法官警告不要将抽象概念应用于区块链技术。Koeltl驳斥了在区块链技术上实施定价公式即可使专利获得保护的观点。他认为，这些专利利用成熟的区块链和智能合约技术来可预测地解决经济问题。 为了进一步阐述他的论点，纽约联邦法官指出，仅仅将抽象概念应用于特定的技术环境并不符合专利申请条件。此外，法院裁定，该抽象概念缺乏足够的创造性，因此不具备专利申请资格。除了专利资格问题外，法院还认定，更新后的起诉状未能充分指控直接侵权。同时，备忘录强调，原告未能证明Uniswap的公开代码中包含了专利中规定的储备率常数。报道指出，法官还认为诱导侵权或故意侵权的指控缺乏依据，并得出结论：起诉状未能令人信服地证明被告在诉讼前已知晓相关专利。如果您正在阅读本文，您已经领先一步。订阅我们的新闻通讯，继续保持领先。
