Gold back over $5,000 is a market tell: fear is back. Tether just paid $150 million for the last mile. By taking ~12% of Gold.com and integrating XAU₮, Tether is buying distribution, so a USDT holder can reach for gold without leaving the crypto payment loop
Gold is trading above $5,000 an ounce again, and the mood that comes with that price level is back with it. When people start getting gold...
Bitcoin’s slide toward $60,000 came with the usual noise from exchanges, but the sheer size of the panic was evident somewhere else. Options tied to BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) traded about 2.33 million contracts in a single trading day, a record that arrived right as price was at its most unstable.
At the same time, the underlying asset saw a record day as well. On the same day,...
Within a span of weeks in early 2026, a cluster of senior crypto operators announced they were stepping back or switching domains.
Akshay BD, who spent five years building Solana's ecosystem, posted a “life update” saying he was “grateful to pass the torch.”
Anthony Rose, a zkSync executive, announced he was “moving on” after four years at Matter Labs.
Nader Dabit left Eigen Labs to join...
Bitcoin is holding its ground this weekend. After Friday’s soft CPI rally, price keeps leaning into the same overhead zone around $70,300, and bids keep showing up above $65,000.
That detail matters more than the stall.
Last Sunday I framed $71,500 as the market’s checkpoint, the line that decides whether this bounce becomes a recovery or fades into another leg down. The logic stays the same, the...
One input mistake at South Korea’s Bithumb turned a routine promo payout into a $44 billion disaster for a simple reason: crypto moves at internet speed, but many exchanges still run on back-office habits built for slower systems.
On Feb. 6, Bithumb meant to hand out tiny cash rewards as part of a promotion, about 2,000 won per recipient. Instead, its internal system credited affected users with...
Bitcoin bottom signals: ETF outflows, miner stress, and why a 2026 recession looks like the outlier
Bitcoin could be approaching a cycle low as spot Bitcoin ETF flows keep leaking and miner economics stay tight, even while recession talk dominates the timeline.
The key point: a 2026 recession or stock-market crash still looks like the outlier scenario, which means Bitcoin can bottom on Bitcoin-...
At 8:30 a.m. in New York, the world paused for the January U.S. inflation data, and it landed with a soft thud.
Headline CPI printed +2.4% year over year, a shade under the +2.5% estimate that had been floating around ahead of the release. Core inflation, the version that strips out food and energy, rose 2.5% year over year, right on the expected line.
On the month, prices kept moving at a pace...
CFTC Chair forms a new Innovation Advisory Committee packed with crypto, exchange, and prediction-market CEOs
Most crypto traders barely think about the Commodity Futures Trading Commission until something breaks, a lawsuit hits, or a Bitcoin futures headline crosses their feed.
In the popular mental map of US regulation, the SEC is the one staring at tokens, and the CFTC is the one that shows up...
Bitcoin developer contributors just cleared a documentation hurdle that crypto Twitter treated like an emergency quantum patch. It wasn't.
On Feb. 11, a proposal for a new output type, Pay-to-Merkle-Root (BIP-0360), was merged into the official Bitcoin Improvement Proposals repository. No nodes upgraded. No activation timeline exists.
The BIPs repository itself warns that publication doesn't...
Coinbase just posted a bruising earnings miss, and it’s triggering a question that hits far beyond COIN shareholders: what happens to Wall Street’s Bitcoin ETF boom if the custodian behind most of it has a bad year?
The company did about $1.78B in revenue but swung to a $667M net loss (-$2.49 EPS) as trading cooled, right as spot Bitcoin ETFs, including BlackRock’s IBIT, rely heavily on Coinbase...
