Nevertheless, BTC miner Bitfarms is raking in 34% more Bitcoin since it began upgrading its fleet of mining rigs. Elsewhere, Crypto.com overtakes Coinbase in trading volume, Bybit halts operations in France, and one trader made $800,000 on a new Solana-based memecoin — but is there more to the story?
