Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency and the largest by market capitalization. LeoDex News tracks the Bitcoin economy in real time: spot ETF inflows and redemptions, institutional treasury moves (MicroStrategy, sovereign reserves, public-company allocations), mining hashrate and difficulty, on-chain analytics from Glassnode and Arkham, and the regulatory environment that shapes Bitcoin's adoption curve.
Our coverage skips the price-prediction noise and focuses on what's actually moving capital: which custodian is winning ETF flows this week, which jurisdictions are passing Bitcoin-reserve legislation, what miners are doing as block subsidies compress, and where institutional demand is coming from. We cite primary sources, name the entities involved, and link to official filings wherever possible.
