China seeks to make the renminbi a true reserve currency, but the numbers reveal a story in which Beijing's capital controls create conditions for Bitcoin and dollar stablecoins to thrive as workarounds rather than competitors.
The International Monetary Fund's latest reserve data shows the renminbi holding just 1.93% of global foreign exchange reserves in the third quarter of 2025, down from a 2...
A decade-old email is reviving questions about whether projects like Ripple posed a threat to Bitcoin’s development or merely served as competitors that some BTC backers sought to exclude.
The email, dated July 31, 2014, appears to show Austin Hill, then described as Blockstream’s chief executive, telling the late Jeffrey Epstein and other recipients that “Ripple, and Jed McCaleb’s new Stellar [...

Groundhog Day for Bitcoin: six more weeks of macro winter?
Bitcoin got its own Groundhog Day moment today as Punxsutawney Phil “saw his shadow” on the 140th Anniversary of the celebration and signaled six more weeks of winter, just after BTC slid to $74,000 in a sharp risk-off move.

Bitcoin just erased over $9,000 in a weekend liquidity trap and the Monday recovery is missing one thing
By the time London desks started lighting up this morning, Bitcoin had already moved sharply in off-hours trading.
Over the weekend, while most of the world was off-grid or only half-paying attention between errands and late-night scrolling, BTC slid hard in thin liquidity.

Binance just turned its emergency insurance fund into a public, auditable pledge. And it reads like a crisis-repair letter in balance sheet form.
The exchange announced Jan. 30 that it will convert SAFU's roughly $1 billion stablecoin reserves into Bitcoin within 30 days, with an explicit promise: if BTC price movements push the fund below $800 million, Binance will replenish it to $1 billion....
The “Bye America” trade has a habit of returning when markets stop debating whether the US is still the safest house on the block and start debating the price of living in it.
Over the past week, that debate has shown up in the dollar. A weaker dollar is rarely a story by itself, but it often arrives with a familiar set of consequences: global portfolios reassess how much US exposure they want,...
By the end of 2025, a corner of the market most Ethereum traders rarely watch had built a position large enough to matter for everyone else.
Everstake’s annual Ethereum staking report estimates that public companies’ “digital asset treasuries” collectively held roughly 6.5–7.0 million ETH by December, which is more than 5.5% of the circulating supply.
