Dorsey's Disruption: Block Eliminates 4,000 Jobs as AI Reengineering Reshapes the Future of Fintech's Most Bitcoin-Native Company
Block Inc. has cut approximately 4,000 jobs — around one-third of its total workforce — with Jack Dorsey publicly attributing the decision to artificial intelligence's capacity to replace functions previously performed by human teams. The move is Block's largest workforce reduction in its history and the most explicit statement yet by a major fintech CEO that AI is not merely augmenting human workers but actively replacing them at scale. For an industry watching AI adoption with a mixture of ambition and anxiety, Dorsey just set the benchmark — and made it impossible to look away.
Inside the Leak: Axiom's $390M Platform Is Rocked by Allegations That a Senior Employee Used Internal Dashboards to Stalk Trader Wallets for Profit
ZachXBT's February 26, 2026 investigation has named Broox Bauer, a senior business development employee at Axiom Exchange — a Y Combinator-backed Solana trading platform with over $390 million in lifetime revenue — in an alleged year-long scheme to access private wallet data through internal dashboards, compile crypto influencer trading portfolios in shared spreadsheets, and trade ahead of high-profile positions dating back to early 2025. Axiom has confirmed that access to the relevant internal tools was abused, revoked the permissions involved, and stated it is conducting a full internal investigation. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York may have jurisdiction given that Bauer is based in New York.
Buying Into the Bleed: Why Grayscale Keeps Raising Its Cardano Allocation Even as ADA Falls 67% From Its Peak
Grayscale has quietly raised Cardano's allocation in its Smart Contract Fund above 20% through a series of consecutive incremental boosts since January 2026 — even as ADA trades near $0.28, roughly 67% below prior cycle highs and approximately 87.5% below its all-time high of $3.10. The mechanics are index-driven, the whale data is real, and the on-chain signals are mixed — which means the full picture here is considerably more nuanced than a straightforward institutional endorsement of Cardano's near-term price trajectory.
The Floor Holds: Bitcoin's 9% Surge Toward $70,000 Is Where Technicals and Structural Demand Finally Converge
Bitcoin has jumped roughly 9% intraday to retest the $70,000 threshold — its largest single-session percentage gain since early February — as a leverage flush, negative funding rates, and persistent spot buying at the $62,000–$65,000 demand floor converged into a classic technical squeeze. The question now is whether bulls can hold this level and convert the move into a structural breakout, or whether thin liquidity and lingering ETF outflows will allow sellers to reassert control.
USDC's Unstoppable Quarter: Circle Shares Surge as Q4 Results Shatter Wall Street Estimates
Circle Internet Group demolished analyst estimates in Q4 2025 — $770 million in revenue up 77% year-over-year, adjusted EPS of $0.43 against a consensus of $0.35, and USDC in circulation growing 72% to $75.3 billion. Shares surged sharply in pre-market trading on February 25, 2026, in the company's most powerful earnings performance since its blockbuster NYSE debut in June 2025. For the stablecoin sector, the message from these numbers is unambiguous: regulated digital dollar infrastructure is not a coming opportunity — it is an already-exploding revenue reality.
Mortgage on the Blockchain: Better-com's Tokenized Home Loan Play Could Rewrite How America Borrows
Better.com is exploring whether home mortgages — America's largest and most illiquid asset class at over USD 13 trillion in outstanding balances — can be tokenized on-chain, opening them to DeFi liquidity pools, fractional institutional investment and automated smart contract servicing. If it works, the implications stretch far beyond one digital lender and into the structural foundations of how housing finance is originated, held, traded and settled globally.
The Ghost of Libra Is Gone: How Meta Is Quietly Building a Payments Empire It Will Never Call Crypto
Meta killed Libra and buried Diem — but it never abandoned the ambition. In 2026, it is rebuilding a global payments infrastructure across its 3.3 billion daily active users through WhatsApp Pay, Instagram checkout and Messenger peer-to-peer transfers, this time without uttering the word crypto once. The strategy is deliberate, the infrastructure is real, and the regulatory lesson from 2019 has been fully absorbed. What emerges looks less like a tech company doing payments and more like a bank that refuses to call itself one.
Dollar on the Blockchain: Trump's Board of Peace Eyes Stablecoins as the Financial Rail for Gaza's Rebuilding
Trump's Board of Peace is reportedly exploring USD-backed stablecoins to power Gaza's reconstruction economy — a move that would simultaneously solve the territory's banking exclusion problem and deepen American financial influence through blockchain infrastructure.
Brazil's Wind Giants Are Coming For Bitcoin: Three Operators Poised to Launch Mining Pilots Before Q3 2026 Ends
Brazil lost BRL 6.5 billion to curtailed renewable energy in 2025. Now three of its biggest wind and solar operators are eyeing Bitcoin mining as the most deployable solution available — and Q3 2026 may be the quarter it becomes official.
Brazil's Stranded Power Problem: How Grid Bottlenecks Are Turning Utilities Into Bitcoin Miners
Brazil sits on one of the most abundant renewable energy grids on the planet — nearly 90% clean generation, vast hydroelectric basins and a wind corridor in the Northeast that ranks among the world's cheapest sources of electricity. Yet transmission infrastructure has not kept pace with generation capacity, leaving hundreds of gigawatt-hours of clean electricity stranded every year, curtailed and wasted because the wires simply do not exist to carry it to demand centers. Now, a growing number of Brazilian utilities, energy traders and mining startups are reaching for an unconventional answer: deploy Bitcoin mining rigs directly behind the meter, converting electricity that would otherwise evaporate into digital assets — turning a grid liability into a revenue stream.
Gemini's Brutal Retreat: 200 Jobs Cut, Three Markets Abandoned as the Winklevoss Twins Fight for Survival
On February 5, 2026, Gemini Space Station Inc. — the crypto exchange founded by billionaires Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss — announced it would slash up to 200 jobs (roughly 25% of its remaining global headcount), exit the United Kingdom, the European Union and Australia entirely, and concentrate its dwindling resources on the United States and Singapore. The restructuring, carrying an estimated $11 million in pre‑tax charges, comes as Gemini's stock has cratered 85% from its September 2025 IPO highs, its global spot market share has shrunk to just 0.1%, and Bitcoin has fallen roughly 40% from its October 2025 peak — a confluence of pressures that has turned one of crypto's most recognizable brands into a cautionary tale of overexpansion.
