Bitcoin Breaks Barriers: Surpasses $109K and Becomes 5th Largest Asset Globally

Bitcoin has reached a historic milestone, surging to an all-time high of $109,424 following a 24% rally over the past month and a 4% jump in just the last 24 hours. This surge has propelled its market capitalization to $2.16 trillion—placing it ahead of Amazon as the fifth-largest asset in the world. Nearly 50 million Americans have now embraced Bitcoin as a preferred safe-haven asset over gold, signaling a significant shift in investor behavior. Traditional finance is adapting, with JPMorgan allowing clients to buy Bitcoin despite previous opposition, and U.S. regulatory interest growing through planned federal and state-level Bitcoin reserves. Analysts expect further gains as Bitcoin cements its role in global financial strategies.

• Bitcoin hits a new all-time high of $109,424, with a 24% monthly gain and 4% daily rise, pushing its market cap to $2.16 trillion—surpassing Amazon.

• Widespread adoption and shifting institutional sentiment—including JPMorgan's policy reversal and potential U.S. Bitcoin reserves—are fueling expectations of continued growth.

Inside Job: Coinbase Hit by $400M Insider Data Breach Scandal

Coinbase is under intense regulatory scrutiny following a significant insider data breach that compromised the personal information of 69,461 users. The breach, orchestrated through bribed customer service representatives—mainly from overseas contractors—enabled attackers to access sensitive customer data, triggering financial losses estimated at $400 million. Chief Security Officer Philip Martin confirmed the exploitation involved social engineering and insider manipulation rather than direct asset theft. The breach has sparked lawsuits over delayed user notifications and lax data protection, intensifying calls for stronger cybersecurity and stricter Know Your Customer (KYC) practices within the crypto industry.

• Insider Threat Unveiled: Bribed Coinbase support staff leaked customer data, exposing 69,461 users and resulting in $400M in losses primarily from social engineering scams.

• Regulatory Fallout: Lawsuits and investigations are mounting, prompting Coinbase to overhaul its security protocols and reigniting debate over crypto industry data protection standards.

Bitcoin Enters State Treasury: Texas Moves to Establish First Strategic Crypto Reserve

In a historic vote, the Texas House of Representatives has passed Senate Bill 21, setting the stage for the creation of a state-managed Bitcoin reserve. The legislation, approved by a 101-42 vote, now awaits Governor Greg Abbott’s signature. If signed into law, Texas will join Arizona and New Hampshire as one of the few U.S. states to authorize a Bitcoin reserve, which will be managed by the state’s comptroller. The bill permits investment only in cryptocurrencies with a market cap exceeding $500 billion over the past year—effectively limiting it to Bitcoin. This development follows recent federal-level support for Bitcoin reserves and signals a growing institutional embrace of crypto assets in the United States.

• Texas House passes Bitcoin reserve bill (SB 21) with a 101-42 vote, awaiting Governor Abbott's final approval to become law.

• The reserve, managed by the state comptroller, will invest solely in Bitcoin—currently the only qualifying cryptocurrency by market cap.
