Standard Chartered analyst Geoffrey Kendrick said a recent dip around $59,000 likely marked Bitcoin's cycle bottom, arguing the latest downturn has ended.

Maelstrom, the family office of BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes, said two of the four developers funded under its Bitcoin Grant Program are now working full-time on privacy tools designed to make Bitcoin transactions harder to trace. The program has paid monthly Bitcoin installments on 12-month contracts since October 2024 and limits grant stacking to $400,000 per year. The update follows Hayes confirming Maelstrom has exited its entire Zcash (ZEC) holding, citing a risk tied to Zcash's Orchard pool.
