BitSpider Plans to Bring Its Card-Native Crypto Point-of-Sale System to Market After MiCA Authorisation

Tallinn, Estonia, July 24th, 2026, Chainwire　　BitSpider has highlighted its previously developed Crypto POS platform following the submission of its application for authorization as a crypto-asset service provider under MiCA in Estonia. The platform introduced an alternative approach to crypto payments by enabling customers to complete transactions using a tap-and-PIN experience similar to a traditional bank card, without relying solely on QR code scanning.　　The BitSpider Crypto POS offered two payment methods in a single device. A customer could pay by scanning a QR code from a self-custody wallet or a compatible wallet application. Alternatively, a customer could tap a BitSpider near-field communication (NFC) card on the terminal, enter a PIN, select a coin and confirm, without a smartphone, wallet application or QR scanning. The card-and-PIN method operated across multiple blockchains and stablecoins, whereas comparable tap-to-pay crypto cards available at the time were generally limited to Bitcoin. Similar tap-and-PIN crypto card products from other providers entered the market in 2025, after BitSpider had designed and demonstrated the concept in 2024.　　A complete point-of-sale system　　The BitSpider Crypto POS was a point-of-sale platform built on networks compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It combined dedicated all-in-one terminal hardware, comprising a pre-installed application, a built-in

Heres Why Bitcoin Dipped Below $64K Today

The macro reason came from the POTUS yet again.　　Bitcoins mid-week price rally that drove it to a monthly peak of $67,000 came to a halt, and the asset dipped below $64,000 earlier today, erasing essentially all the gains it had recorded.　　Here are the two possible reasons behind this nosedive.　　ETF Investor Exodus　　At first, we begin with the spot exchange-traded funds tracking the largest cryptocurrency. They were on a seven-day roll that began last Tuesday and had attracted roughly $1 billion within that timeframe for the first time since April. However, investors changed their minds once again on Thursday, pulling out over $200 million worth of BTC. This coincided with the assets initial retracement that drove it toward $65,000.　　More recent on-chain data from today, though, claimed that BlackRock has continued to dispose of BTC for its clients, sending approximately $203 million to Coinbase Prime, which it always uses when it liquidates some of its ETF positions.　　Of course, the actual damage for the entire day will be announced tomorrow when data providers such as SoSoValue update their numbers. For now, though, the uncertainty remains relatively high given the latest trend shift.　　BlackRock moved 3.126K $BTC (~$203M) from its IBIT Bitcoin ETF wallet to Coinbase

Philippines' BPI tests stablecoin rail for overseas remittances

BPI has launched a pilot program using stablecoin settlement rails for cross-border payments, with the Philippine lender targeting faster and lower-cost remittances for freelancers, virtual assistants, and other overseas income earners.　　According to local reports from ABS-CBN and the Philippine Daily Inquirer, the Ayala-led bank is working with global digital clearinghouse Meridian to test a stablecoin-based settlement system that will process inbound international payments before converting them into Philippine pesos for deposit into customers BPI accounts.　　The pilot will first cover payroll payments and overseas earnings received by freelancers, virtual assistants, and workers in the informal economy. BPI plans to extend the service to more customers before the 49th ASEAN Summit in November, when the bank expects to showcase the initiative as part of its digital banking efforts.　　Rather than replacing existing banking infrastructure, the system uses stablecoins as a settlement layer between the sender and the recipient. Once the transfer is completed, recipients will receive Philippine pesos in their BPI accounts, allowing the bank to combine blockchain-based settlement with conventional banking safeguards.　　BPI President and Chief Executive Officer Jose Teodoro Limcaoco said the project builds on the banks ongoing digitalization strategy, adding that the bank wants Filipinos receiving money from abroad to access

Ali Martinez Predicts Ethereum Rally to $2,060 if $1,850 Support Holds

Ali Martinez says Ethereum could reach $2,060 if the $1,850 support remains intact.ETH exchange reserves continue to decline, pointing to tighter supply across major platforms.Funding rates are rising, showing stronger bullish sentiment without overheating the market.　　Ethereum is gearing up for another move higher after rebounding from a key support level, according to crypto analyst Ali Martinez.　　His latest chart reveals ETH is still trading within a rising price channel.

Despite the daily decline, the cryptocurrency remains up 1.63% over the past week and 13% over the past month.　　$1,850 Remains the Key Support　　Martinezs chart shows Ethereum recovering after pulling back to the lower trendline of its ascending channel.

The Dow Jones buys a rumour and sleeps through a tariff regime

The index that spent this week absorbing a war premium trades near 52,000 on Friday, around 325 points to the good side, on the strength of a wire report that its own three sources undercut in the same breath. Pakistan is exploring a route back to stalled US-Iran talks at China‘s urging, and those sources cautioned that the obstacles to any American engagement remain high. Crude Oil sold off roughly 4% on the story, with Brent easing toward $96.00 after this week’s move above $100.00 and West Texas Intermediate near $88.50.　　Every de-escalation headline of this war has been retraced, in April, in May and again in early July, and the market has bought each one on first print. What separates this version is that the equity bid arrived on the same morning the trade regime changed underneath it, and almost nobody marked the second event.　　A rally on three sources and a caveat　　Apple (AAPL) supplied a large share of the index gain with a 3% move, which is what a price-weighted average does when a high-priced component catches a bid. Beneath the headline the tape was thinner than it looks, with every S public participation, when the wider public joins in;

The debt clock ticking inside corporate Bitcoin treasuries could force billions back onto the market

The convertible notes, preferred shares, and credit facilities that financed a large share of corporate Bitcoin holdings carry maturities, redemption windows, and dividend dates that determine when a company might need to sell.　　Matthew Sigel, VanEcks head of digital assets research, shared a list of corporate Bitcoin treasuries that maps who ranks above the coins inside each companys capital structure.　　Once Bitcoin sits inside a public companys balance sheet, it stands beneath a stack of claims: creditors expecting repayment, preferred shareholders expecting distributions, lenders holding pledged coins, common shareholders wanting buybacks, and an operating business that needs cash to run.　　A payment, redemption, or maturity can force a company to sell Bitcoin on a fixed date, regardless of whether it still believes in the assets long-term price.　　One entry on Sigels list flags Bitdeer, which had fully emptied its Bitcoin treasury as of Feb. 20 to fund a pivot into AI data centers, a move later confirmed when the treasury fell to zero once the company sold 189.8 newly mined BTC and pulled 943.1 BTC from reserves.Claim above BitcoinInstrument or pressureWhat creates the sell riskWhy it mattersCreditorsConvertible notes, senior debtMaturity, repayment, refinancing failureBTC may be sold even if management remains bullishPreferred shareholdersSTRC-style preferred stockDividend

India orders takedown of Jack Dorseys bitcoin-linked messaging app Bitchat

SummaryIndia‘s cybercrime agency has ordered GitHub to take down repositories for Bitchat, Jack Dorsey’s offline messaging app, as Delhi protesters use mesh-network tools to evade repeated internet shutdowns.Authorities say Bitchats decentralized, registration-free design thwarts lawful interception and investigation, even as demonstrators rely on it and similar Bluetooth mesh apps to coordinate during exam scandal protests.It was unclear whether GitHub complied within the three-hour deadline, and the app remained available on major app stores Friday, with experts noting that open-source code is often mirrored beyond a single platform.　　Indias top cybercrime watchdog has ordered GitHub to take down Bitchat, the offline messaging app built by Block chief executive and bitcoin advocate Jack Dorsey, as anti-government protesters in Delhi adopt mesh-networking tools to communicate through repeated internet shutdowns.　　the government of india does not like technologies like bitchat and wants it taken down pic.twitter.com/gjzMg1NGCi　　— jack (@jack) July 24, 2026　　The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, part of the Home Ministry, issued the order late Thursday under Section 79(3)(b) of the IT Act, naming three GitHub repositories tied to Bitchat and giving the platform three hours to disable access.　　The notice, reviewed by CoinDesk, says the app enables anonymous communication without registration, phone numbers or centralized logging,
