Grayscale says bitcoin forms bottom at $65,000 to $70,000 and has passed the low

Asset manager Grayscale said it believes bitcoin has already formed a bottom. Citing realised price, an on-chain metric, it estimated the realised price for bitcoin that changed hands in the past 1 to 3 months at about $74,000. Grayscale said the current price is just below that level, suggesting many recent buyers have recovered to near break-even. Other analysts said a clearer low could come in late 2026.

Artemis II completes laser communications demonstration

The U.S. lunar mission Artemis II has demonstrated laser-based communications, showing data-transfer performance up to 100,000 times faster than Apollo 13, TechRadar reported. The optical system is aimed at handling large volumes of high-resolution images and telemetry expected from modern missions. Orion’s O2O system transmitted about 36 GB per hour, far above older radio links. NASA said weather sensitivity and ground-station requirements remain challenges.
