MNT price got a modest 5% lift after prediction market platform InsightX announced that it had surpassed $500 million in total network volume within a single month. The catch? The rally ran straight into the 20-day EMA resistance, and the broader downtrend still looks very much alive.The milestone itself is hard to ignore. InsightX said the network volume processed while operating entirely on the Mantle ecosystem, with prediction markets settling in seconds at near-zero cost. More users, deeper liquidity, and more information being priced on-chain sounds like exactly the kind of headline crypto loves to celebrate.Volume Surges But MNT Price…

Let me tell you what happens today on the highway we wrote about two days ago. Around 92 million new ARB tokens leave their vault, right as the token trades within sight of the all-time low it printed in late June. Unlock is the scariest word in a falling token’s vocabulary. But read the shipping label on this particular delivery, because where the tokens go matters more than how many there are. ARB traded at $0.08989 on July 14 per this site’s tracking, and holds near the $0.09 area as the unlock lands on July 16, 2026, per CoinGecko. The…
Zcash (ZEC) is trading near $578, extending a powerful recovery that has turned the privacy coin into one of crypto’s best-performing large-cap assets this summer. The rally follows a turbulent June that saw ZEC crash more than 40% after developers disclosed a critical bug in the network’s shielded transaction system — and it comes just weeks before the Ironwood upgrade, designed to close that vulnerability for good. For a broader view of how privacy coins and altcoins are trading today, see Crypto Market Today. Key Takeaways ZEC trades around $573–578, up more than 20% over the past week and roughly…

Under the SEC’s current reporting rule, that means $71,059.X posts paired the share count with a rounded “$71M position.” Others repeated the $71 million interpretation just over an hour later. Since then, the figures have…
The following is a guest post from Yuliya Barabash, Founder and Managing Partner at SBSB Fintech Lawyers.MiCA may make Europe safer, but it also risks making it smaller. In its effort to impose order on crypto, the EU is building a regulatory framework that many early-stage startups simply cannot afford to comply with. Yet in pursuing either control or freedom, both sides are missing what actually makes the market work.MiCA is not perfect, and it is certainly not cheap, but that is precisely why it matters. In a crypto market long defined by regulatory arbitrage, uneven standards, and too many…
