XRP is ending 2025 with one of the most paradoxical profiles in the crypto market, thanks to record-breaking institutional inflows colliding with one of the weakest price charts. #5...
This week started with a sensational screenshot shared across hundreds of breathless posts on X, and a claim designed to hit every financial nerve ending at once. A “systemically important” US bank, a silver margin call, liquidation by the exchange in the middle of the night, the Federal Reserve allegedly “forced” to pump billions into the system, and the bank’s name “concealed.” Screenshot...
Analyst and creator of the ‘Bitcoin Quantile Model,' Plan C, just posted a bundle of charts that pushed back on the idea of repeating cycle playbooks as Bitcoin trades around $87,661. The set frames a macro mix where business-cycle gauges remain weak while hard assets, led by gold, retain demand. That combination can change the timing of rallies and pullbacks even if Bitcoin’s longer-run...
Bitcoin traded near $86,800 on Monday morning after reversing its Sunday move above $90,000, as crude oil rose and gold fell. #1 Bitcoin...
Bitmain cut prices on Bitcoin mining rigs on Dec. 23 after miner revenue per unit of hashrate fell in November. The discounts, which extend to current-generation hydro and immersion products, are landing in a cycle in which Bitcoin’s price strength has not translated into the kind of mining-margin expansion that previously drove hardware scarcity and rapid markups...
A single corporate treasury has effectively hijacked Ethereum’s validator mechanics, executing a billion-dollar maneuver that has flipped the network’s flow data from a steady exodus to a sudden traffic jam. For the first time in six months, the queue to stake ETH, locking up tokens to secure the blockchain in exchange for yield, significantly outstrips the line to exit. Data compiled by the...
Bitcoin miners produced block 929,699 on Dec. 27. What if that was the signal for a New Year’s moment, rather than our traditional calendar? The pitch is that block height, the ordered count of blocks every full node can verify, can act as a calendar layer for a market that trades and settles across jurisdictions. For argument's sake, we'll use Bitcoin Block Explorer and the last observed chain...
Coinbase said a former customer support agent was arrested in India as investigators probe a breach tied to insider bribery and customer data theft. Chief Executive Officer Brian Armstrong said on Dec. 27 that the arrest involved a former support agent and thanked Hyderabad Police for assistance in the ongoing investigation. The update puts attention on the operational side of exchange security,...
Ethereum’s 2026 roadmap centers on two tracks: expanding rollup data capacity through blobs while pushing base-layer execution higher through gas limit changes. Those gas limit changes depend on validators moving from re-executing blocks to verifying ZK execution proofs. The first track is already anchored by Fusaka, which shipped Dec. 3, 2025. Fusaka Fusaka sets up PeerDAS plus blob parameter...
The following is a guest post and opinion from Anurag Arjun, Founder of Avail. The global stablecoin narrative is about to shift fast. What began as a US-dominated experiment in digital liquidity is morphing into a multipolar fight over who controls the rails of tomorrow’s monetary system. And the most consequential moves are unfolding in Asia—quietly, deliberately, and at increasing speed. For a...
