$50 Billion Copper Merger Could Spark Bigger Mining Deals

$50 Billion Copper Merger Could Spark Bigger Mining Deals

The post $50 Billion Copper Merger Could Spark Bigger Mining Deals appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Strong and growing demand for copper from traditional markets as well as demand from energy transition away from fossil fuels is at the heart of a $50 billion merger of two big mining companies and could be the spark for even bigger copper-driven deals. Canada’s Teck Resources and London-listed but South African born Anglo American agreed on a merger of equals after years of circling each other.

AFP via Getty Images The merger will see current shareholders in Teck emerge with 37.6% of the new business while Anglo shareholders will have a 62.4% interest as well as receiving a special dividend of $4.5 billion ($4.19 per share). Key to the deal is a pair of adjacent copper mines, Collahuasi and Quebrada Blanca, high in the Andes mountains of Chile which, when operated in tandem, should generate an annual $1.4 billion in additional pre-tax earnings. A new business to be called Anglo Teck will emerge from the deal which is expected to take 12-to-18 months to complete. It will be headquartered in the Canadian city of Vancouver. 70% Of Earnings From Copper An estimated 70% of future earnings will come from existing copper assets with growth options available, Teck and Anglo said in a joint statement. The two companies said their merged business will have a strong balance sheet “underpinned by a large, more diversified asset and cash flow base, including premium iron ore and zinc”. Over the last three years both Teck and Anglo have been takeover targets for their mining rivals, Australia’s BHP and Swiss-based Glencore. Also circling, but more interested in a deal with Glencore, is London-based Rio Tinto. The creation of Anglo Teck could be…

Robinhood launches social media platform for traders

Robinhood launches social media platform for traders

The post Robinhood launches social media platform for traders appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Robinhood Markets Inc. is expanding beyond trading by launching a new in-app social network, Robinhood Social. The app’s rollout begins early next year. A select group of customers will be the first to get invitations. After that, the feature will be rolled out to all users. Its arrival is another sign that the online brokerage has entered a new era. Robinhood is a place to invest, combined with community and conversation. Robinhood puts trading at the center of social Robinhood Social follows a simple rule: every post must be linked to a real trade. Whether users share insights on stocks, options, or crypto, it has to reflect an actual position they’ve taken, adding authenticity to the content. The position updates in real time once a trade is posted. Prices, gains, and losses change as markets move. Other traders can join the conversation by commenting directly on the post. This makes the platform more interactive than a static screenshot, for example, or a one-sentence Reddit message. By opting for a trade as the center of every post, Robinhood creates a stark contrast between itself and social platforms like Reddit and X, where users can put unverified claims, inflated claims, or edited screenshots for results. On the other hand, Robinhood Social is transparent because a transaction inside the brokerage underpins every post. The platform also provides additional transparency into investor performance. Users can share the one-day and one-year profit and loss statements. They can also disclose their total profit margins. This allows followers to learn from traders who always win and have the context when trading strategies go awry. The social part won’t be limited to everyday traders. The company expects to include profiles of luminaries like lawmakers and billionaire investors. For instance, trades by the former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which…

Ready For Some Football? When It Comes To Gambling, Odds Are The IRS Is Watching, Too

Ready For Some Football? When It Comes To Gambling, Odds Are The IRS Is Watching, Too

The post Ready For Some Football? When It Comes To Gambling, Odds Are The IRS Is Watching, Too appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. PHILADELPHIA, PA – SEPTEMBER 04: Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (1) runs the ball during the game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles on September 4th, 2025 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA. (Photo by Terence Lewis/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Football is back—and so is sports betting. Betting is huge in the U.S., and no league is more popular for oddsmakers than the NFL. According to the American Gaming Association, NFL bettors are expected to wager around $30 billion on the league this season through legal sportsbooks. That’s an 8.5% increase from last year—and only includes legal bets made at traditional sportsbooks in the U.S. (It’s no wonder that interest is high. The NFL’s 32 clubs are worth $7.1 billion on average with Forbes ranking the Dallas Cowboys at the top of the valuation list.) With that amount of money being wagered, there are bound to be bad actors. IRS-CI investigates a variety of offenses tied to illegal gambling and encourages U.S. taxpayers to be smart when placing bets. Not All Gambling Is Legal Not every bet is a safe one. IRS-CI reminds you to use state-licensed gambling operations and platforms that are legal in your jurisdiction. According to the AGA, when it comes to sports betting in America, it’s legal in just thirty-nine states and the District of Columbia. Sports betting is legal is 39 states and the District of Columbia. Kelly Phillips Erb “Over the last few years, we’ve seen a number of online crypto casinos offering options for sports betting,” said IRS-CI Chief Guy Ficco. “These are not legal venues to place sports bets. Many are based offshore and don’t follow Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, specifically to attract anonymous users who may be involved in illicit activity.…

Is BlackRock setting the stage for $120K?

Is BlackRock setting the stage for $120K?

The post Is BlackRock setting the stage for $120K? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways  BlackRock’s ETF dominance with a Derivatives surge shows institutions and speculators aligned, while cooling Futures and a falling NVT ratio suggest healthier conditions for a potential breakout. BlackRock’s IBIT ETF now commands the Bitcoin [BTC] ETF landscape with 751,283 BTC, representing nearly 58% of all holdings.  Fidelity trails with 200,956 BTC, showing a wide gap that highlights BlackRock’s dominance. At press time, Bitcoin traded at $112,960, up 1.01% daily while consolidating near a critical level. Having said that, this concentration raised concerns that Bitcoin’s next directional move may depend more on BlackRock’s flows than broader market forces. Institutional positioning stayed the key driver. Are cooling Futures a warning for Bitcoin traders? AMBCrypto analyzed the Futures Volume Bubble Map that indicated a cooling phase. It reflected reduced speculative demand in leveraged markets.  In contextual terms, it meant that traders are becoming cautious after heightened activity earlier in the week. Consequently, declining Futures activity could also reflect hesitation in taking aggressive positions, especially with ETF flows dominating the headlines.  Since Futures often acted as a short-term barometer of sentiment – this, in turn, left participants recalibrating ahead of volatility. Source: CryptoQuant Does NVT ratio point to healthier valuations? At press time, Bitcoin’s Network Value to Transaction (NVT) Ratio dropped 34%, reaching 27.93 at press time.  This decline suggests that the network is becoming more efficient relative to its market valuation. While a lower NVT often indicates healthier, more grounded valuations, it doesn’t fully rule out the risk of market over-exuberance.  Traders should remain cautiously optimistic and rely on on-chain metrics to validate the strength and sustainability of the current trend. Source: CryptoQuant Why are Bitcoin Derivatives flashing speculative interest? Bitcoin Derivatives markets saw explosive activity, with trading Volume surging 69.54% to $73.59 billion. Also, Open Interest (OI) rose modestly by…

SpaceX’s $17 Billion EchoStar Deal Won’t Work Without Starship

SpaceX’s $17 Billion EchoStar Deal Won’t Work Without Starship

The post SpaceX’s $17 Billion EchoStar Deal Won’t Work Without Starship appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SpaceX’s Starship sits unstacked from its booster on the launchpad at Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, in 2023. AFP via Getty Images With two-thirds of the satellites currently in low-Earth orbit, SpaceX has become the king of the heavens, overseeing a growing broadband internet empire on the ground. But when it comes to the nascent business of using satellites to connect to mobile phones in remote areas beyond the reach of telecom towers, SpaceX has been far more constrained. So far, it’s been working with a narrow band of T-Mobile’s cellular spectrum in the U.S., only able to relay text messages. Billionaire Elon Musk’s company took a step to break out in a big way Monday, announcing the purchase of a long-coveted chunk of spectrum from EchoStar that’s perfect for beaming signals to mobile phones from space. The hefty price tag, $17 billion, makes it SpaceX’s largest acquisition by far. The company touted that the spectrum it’s buying will allow it to field new satellites that provide 20 times the throughput and full 5G phone service – complete with video calls from on top of any scenic mountain you want to climb. But those promises come with a caveat: those new satellites appear to be designed to be launched by the giant rocket it’s developing, Starship. If Starship doesn’t work as promised, that would be a giant monkey wrench, said Caleb Henry, an analyst with Quilty Space. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell plans are “dependent on Starship,” he said. Though its most recent test flight went well, breaking a streak of three straight that ended with spectacular explosions, questions still abound as to the soundness of Starship’s design and whether it can deliver the drastic reduction in launch costs Musk has promised. The rocket is designed to carry 100 tons of payload to…

BlockDAG’s $403M Presale Outshines Bitcoin Hyper & SpacePay

BlockDAG’s $403M Presale Outshines Bitcoin Hyper & SpacePay

The post BlockDAG’s $403M Presale Outshines Bitcoin Hyper & SpacePay appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 10 September 2025 | 02:00 See how BlockDAG’s $0.0013 presale and $403M raise eclipse Bitcoin Hyper’s growth and SpacePay’s $1.2M traction with scale and real execution. Bitcoin Hyper has been sparking interest with updates, while SpacePay is drawing notice for its payment tech. Both have their buzz, but the search for the best presales isn’t only about noise. What really matters is execution. That’s where BlockDAG steps forward. With strong partnerships, live grants, working miners, and millions already mining on mobile, it’s proving real delivery. While other projects build early attention, BlockDAG (BDAG) is showing results through funding, integrations, and global outreach. With presale batches closing quickly, the clear question is this: which coin has the power to turn attention into actual value? For now, BlockDAG’s record suggests it holds the stronger case. Massive Funding & Growing Community Put BlockDAG in the Lead BlockDAG’s journey is defined by delivery, not empty promises. In his latest address, CMO Nick Van Den Bergh confirmed that the grant program is fully active, paying developers directly in both BDAG and USDT. Hackathons are bringing in groups of 30–50 builders at a time, with dozens of projects already underway. Instead of waiting for launch to build momentum, BlockDAG is creating an ecosystem right now, with funds moving quickly into developer hands. Integrations add even more weight to the story. Deals with Uniswap, Axelar, and Rarable are already live, with Rarable even co-developing an NFT marketplace on BlockDAG’s Layer 1. These aren’t future plans on a roadmap. They are real partnerships that tie the project into platforms with existing adoption and traction. The presale has become one of the most talked-about opportunities in 2025. For a limited period, the BDAG price has been set at a flat $0.0013 for a limited time, as part…

PredictIt Exchange Launch: A Monumental CFTC Approval Unlocks New Horizons

PredictIt Exchange Launch: A Monumental CFTC Approval Unlocks New Horizons

BitcoinWorld PredictIt Exchange Launch: A Monumental CFTC Approval Unlocks New Horizons A significant announcement has just reshaped the landscape for prediction markets and political betting enthusiasts. PredictIt, a well-known platform, has officially received approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to launch an exchange. This crucial development marks a monumental step, transforming a popular betting site into a regulated financial entity. The details surrounding the specific type of exchange are still emerging, but the implications for the future of forecasting and regulated markets are profound. The PredictIt exchange launch represents a new chapter for the industry. What Does the PredictIt Exchange Launch Mean for Prediction Markets? For years, PredictIt has operated as a unique platform where individuals could place small-stakes bets on the outcomes of political events, economic indicators, and other real-world occurrences. Its primary goal was to provide data for academic research, operating under a “no-action” letter from the CFTC. This new approval, however, elevates its status considerably. The CFTC is the federal agency responsible for regulating the U.S. futures and options markets. Their explicit approval for the PredictIt exchange launch means the platform will now operate under a more formal regulatory framework. This transition is expected to bring increased transparency, enhanced user protection, and potentially broader institutional interest in prediction markets. This move is not merely a change in operational status; it signifies a maturation of the prediction market concept. It indicates that regulators are beginning to see the potential for these markets beyond simple entertainment, recognizing their utility as tools for forecasting and risk assessment. It’s a clear signal that the regulatory environment for such platforms is evolving. Navigating the Regulatory Landscape: Why is CFTC Approval Crucial? Operating a prediction market in the U.S. has historically been fraught with regulatory ambiguities. Many platforms have faced legal challenges or been forced to operate offshore due to the complex nature of classifying these markets. Are they gambling? Are they derivatives? The CFTC’s decision provides much-needed clarity. The CFTC’s approval for the PredictIt exchange launch is crucial for several reasons: Legitimacy: It bestows official regulatory recognition, removing the “grey area” status. Investor Protection: Users can expect stronger safeguards against fraud, manipulation, and unfair practices. Market Integrity: The CFTC’s oversight helps ensure fair and orderly markets, building trust among participants. Precedent Setting: This could pave the way for other similar platforms to seek regulatory approval, fostering innovation within a controlled environment. This regulatory clarity is a significant benefit, not just for PredictIt, but for the entire prediction market ecosystem, offering a template for future developments. The Potential of PredictIt’s Exchange Launch: Opportunities Ahead With CFTC approval, PredictIt is poised to unlock a range of new opportunities. While the specific details of the exchange’s operation are yet to be fully disclosed, the shift to a regulated model could bring substantial advantages. Benefits for participants could include: Increased confidence in the platform’s stability and fairness. Potentially higher trading volumes and deeper liquidity, leading to more accurate prices. A broader array of market offerings, as regulatory clarity allows for expansion. Greater acceptance from financial institutions and data analysts who might have previously shied away from unregulated markets. Actionable Insight: For current PredictIt users, it is vital to review any updated terms of service and operational guidelines that will accompany the new exchange launch. Understanding these changes will be key to continued participation. What Challenges Lie Ahead for PredictIt’s New Exchange? While the CFTC approval is a major victory, the path forward for the PredictIt exchange launch will not be without its challenges. Transitioning from a research-focused platform to a fully regulated exchange comes with new responsibilities and potential hurdles. Some of the challenges PredictIt might face include: Operational Compliance: Meeting the ongoing, stringent reporting and compliance requirements of the CFTC. User Adaptation: Educating existing users about the new regulatory framework and any changes to their trading experience. Competition: Navigating a competitive landscape that includes both traditional betting sites and other emerging prediction platforms. Public Perception: Shifting the narrative from a “political betting site” to a legitimate, regulated financial exchange will require strategic communication. Successfully addressing these challenges will be crucial for PredictIt to fully capitalize on its newfound regulatory status and establish itself as a leading player in the regulated prediction market space. A New Era for Prediction Markets The announcement of CFTC approval for the PredictIt exchange launch is truly a landmark event. It signals a significant maturation of prediction markets, moving them from the periphery into a more mainstream, regulated financial environment. This development holds immense promise for increasing transparency, enhancing user protection, and fostering innovation in how we forecast and understand future events. As PredictIt embarks on this new chapter, the industry will be watching closely to see how this crucial approval reshapes the future of prediction and political betting. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q1: What is PredictIt? A1: PredictIt is an online platform that allows users to bet on the outcomes of future events, primarily political and economic, operating as a prediction market. It was initially designed for academic research purposes. Q2: What does CFTC approval mean for PredictIt? A2: CFTC approval means PredictIt has received official regulatory recognition from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to operate an exchange. This transition brings enhanced oversight, increased transparency, and stronger user protections, moving it from a “no-action” letter status to a formally regulated entity. Q3: How will this affect current PredictIt users? A3: While specific operational changes are yet to be fully detailed, users can expect a more regulated and secure trading environment. It is crucial for users to review any updated terms of service and platform guidelines that will be released as the new exchange launches. Q4: Will PredictIt now offer new types of markets? A4: The CFTC approval could potentially allow PredictIt to expand its market offerings, given the newfound regulatory clarity. However, any new markets would still need to comply with CFTC regulations and guidelines, which may influence the types of events available for prediction. Q5: Does this set a precedent for other prediction markets? A5: Yes, the CFTC’s decision for the PredictIt exchange launch is likely to set an important precedent. It provides a potential roadmap for other prediction market platforms seeking to operate legally and under regulation within the United States.
