Standard Chartered has lowered its end-2026 price target for Solana to $250, down from $310, while leaving its longer-dated trajectory intact. The bank’s roadmap still points to $2,000 by 2030 as the bank argues the chain’s activity mix is rotating away from memecoin-led trading toward stablecoin-based micropayments. The revised forecast comes as the bank’s digital assets research team frames the current drawdown as a period when “performance differentiation” across crypto should become more visible, rather than a tape where everything trades as a single risk bucket. Why Standard Chartered Lowers The 2026 Solana Target, Boosts Long View Behind the 2026…
Bitcoin mining profit crisis hits as difficulty to drop by 14% this weekend while block time spikes to 20 minutes
While price action has always been volatile and, arguably, exciting, the Bitcoin network itself is built to feel boring. Ten minutes per block, tick tock, rinse and repeat, a metronome you can set your watch to.Then every so often, it gets very human again.Early this morning, block production slowed enough that the average block time briefly spiked to 19.33 minutes. On the surface, it appears to be a technical issue. Below, it reads like a real-time pulse check of an industry that operates on thin margins, loud fans, cheap power, and a lot of stress.Bitcoin block times over the past…
I’ve been wearing the Oura Ring and the Apple Watch side by side for months, and as an indecisive, overanalyzing wearable reviewer, I’m finally ready to tackle the existential question: smart ring versus smartwatch. But I’m going to do it in the most diplomatic, overly thorough way possible, because the “right” choice really depends on what you care about.The more time I’ve spent wearing both, the clearer it’s become that these two wearables aren’t direct competitors so much as complements. They live under the same wearable-health umbrella, but are completely different flavors in both form and function.They’re also expensive. At…

The U.S. government has taken full legal ownership of more than $400 million in seized cryptocurrency, cash, and real estate tied to Helix, once one of the most widely used bitcoin mixing services on the darknet. A federal judge in Washington, D.C., entered a final order of forfeiture on Jan. 21, transferring the assets to the government following the conviction of Helix operator Larry Dean Harmon. The forfeiture includes thousands of bitcoin, hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, and an Ohio mansion purchased during the peak of Helix’s operation. Helix functioned as a cryptocurrency mixer, pooling and rerouting bitcoin…
The crypto market in early 2026 is defined less by panic or euphoria and more by patience. Bitcoin continues to move sideways, volatility has cooled, and traders who once chased every breakout are now taking a step back. In this environment, a familiar question is quietly returning: which is the next crypto to explode once the market finds its direction again? History suggests that these quieter phases often matter more than they appear. When price action slows, speculative capital does not disappear – it reorganizes. Investors begin looking beyond short-term charts and toward projects that can benefit from a shift…

Their AI Measurement Framework focuses on three dimensions: utilization, impact, and cost. They pair these with the DX Core 4: 1) change failure rate, 2) PR throughput, 3) perceived delivery speed, and 4)…
