Bitcoin Holds $64K as Citi Launches Custody & Metaplanet Moves 2

Visit the Crypto News Today website:

Bitcoin is holding above $64,000 despite rising oil prices, surging government-bond yields and growing pressure across global risk markets—but is this genuine strength or simply the calm before another major move?

In today’s Daily Crypto Roundup, we examine Metaplanet’s agreement to contribute 2,100 Bitcoin to a new Nasdaq-listed U.S. Bitcoin treasury company called Superplanet. The deal could give Metaplanet control of approximately 95.7% of the business and represents another major expansion of the corporate Bitcoin treasury model.

We also cover Citi’s plans to introduce institutional Bitcoin custody through its new Custody+ platform, alongside tokenized deposits, digital-asset liquidity and faster settlement services.

Elsewhere, Cash App users can reportedly purchase Ethereum, Solana, XRP and Tether through MoonPay, while Visa is searching for a new global stablecoin settlement and liquidity partner.

Ethereum developers are warning wallet and infrastructure providers about an important gas-accounting change being tested ahead of the Glamsterdam upgrade. The change could cause wallets that automatically assume every standard Ethereum transfer requires only 21,000 gas to reject or incorrectly estimate certain transactions.

We also examine why the U.S. CLARITY Act appears to have stalled, why South Korea is moving to block Polymarket, and what Ripple’s new partnership with Jeonbuk Bank actually means for XRP holders.

Solana’s Agave 4.2 upgrade begins its staged rollout with lower account-rent costs, larger transactions and work toward faster slot times, while Kraken launches access to more than 7,000 U.S. shares for eligible customers across the European Economic Area.
