Is the Saylor playbook cracking? Bitcoin's biggest buyer just became a seller

On this episode of CoinDesk's Public Keys at the New York Stock Exchange, Jennifer Sanasie is joined by Two Prime Founder and CEO Alex Blume to discuss Bitcoin's range-bound price action, Strategy's accelerating Bitcoin sell-off, and why he's skeptical of the stablecoin consortium behind OpenUSD that knocked Circle lower. In a taped interview from the NYSE floor, Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo breaks down the company's NYSE debut under the ticker SECZ via a SPAC deal, its more than $400 million raise, and its move to tokenize its own common stock on the Solana and Avalanche blockchains.

Why Markus Thielen says Bitcoin's pain isn't over yet

On today's Markets Outlook, 10x Research Founder and CEO Markus Thielen tells CoinDesk's Jennifer Sanasie why he sees Bitcoin dropping even more before recovery, with $7B in ETF outflows since mid-May and MicroStrategy stepping back as the last real buyer.
