Traders dump $4.3 billion BTC on Binance as exchange sells more Bitcoin than other exchanges combined
CryptoQuant logged 56,000 to 59,000 BTC deposited in two days, and it’s raising fresh questions about who sets the tape.
 Binance moved 42.8% of total spot volume over the past week but absorbed 79.7% of net selling pressure across five major exchanges, according to data from Traderview. The imbalance raises the question of whether a venue needs to handle “most of the market” to set prices for the whole market. The answer is no. A venue needs to be where the market most often determines the price.

JPMorgan: Bitcoin Is More Attractive Than Gold
JPMorgan says Bitcoin’s long-term case versus gold is strengthening despite its historic sell-off.

91-qubit processor accurately simulates many-body quantum chaos https://phys.org/news/2026-02-qubit-processor-accurately-simulates-body.html Quantum chaos describes chaotic classical dynamical systems in terms of quantum theory, but simulations of these systems are limited by computational resources. However, one team seems to have found a way by leveraging error mitigation and specialized circuits on a 91-qubit superconducting quantum processor. Their results are published in Nature Physics.

Bank of England holds rates for now — so when's the next cut coming?
Economists give their forecasts for when the next rate cut could take place in 2026.
 The Bank of England kept interest rates on hold at 3.75% at its first meeting of 2026 on Thursday. The central bank's nine-member Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted by a narrow 5-4 margin to keep rates on hold. Four members voted to reduce the benchmark interest rate, known as "Bank Rate," by 25 basis points. Economists polled by Reuters had expected the vote to be a clearer cut 7-2 split.

Software experiencing 'most exciting moment' as AI fears hammer the stocks
Shares of software companies have been getting beaten up, and the selloff accelerated this week after Anthropic's latest unveiling.
 Box CEO Aaron Levie says that in the 20-year history of his cloud software vendor, "this is the most exciting moment we've ever had." Wall Street doesn't see it that way. The stock is down 17% in 2026 after starting the year with its steepest monthly drop since 2023. It's gotten caught up in a software swoon, as investors dump shares of companies that they worry will get displaced by the rise of artificial intelligence agents.
