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 [...
New reports says Abu Dhabi royal Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed al-Nahyan, or investors tied to him, agreed in January 2025 to invest $500 million into Trump-linked World Liberty Financial for about a 49% stake.
WLFI, the governance token of World Liberty Financial, has currently decoupled from Bitcoin price, up around 8% today amid a flat market still attempting to recover from the weekend dip...
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.
The coincidence was fitting: a cocktail of forced liquidations, ETF outflows, and rising real yields suggested...
Bitcoin’s slide below $80,000 has pushed a significant portion of US spot BTC exchange-traded fund (ETF) buyers into $7 billion in paper losses.
According to CryptoSlate's data, the world’s largest digital asset fell to as low as $74,609 over the weekend amid liquidity concerns and a risk-off tone in global markets. BTC has recovered to approximately $77,649 as of press time.

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.
The chart tells the...
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.
Graph showing the cumulative ETH digital...
Bitcoin treasuries are designed to look uncomfortable in drawdowns, because the trade they're running is simple: take a volatile asset, put it on a corporate balance sheet, and finance more of it through capital markets. When Bitcoin drops, the mark-to-market hit is the point, not the punchline.
The real question is whether the company can keep its funding machine running long enough for...
In a global investor survey from Coinbase Institutional and Glassnode, 1 in 4 institutions agreed that crypto has now entered a bear market. Yet the majority of institutions still said Bitcoin was undervalued, and most said they had held or increased exposure since October.
That discrepancy matters because it captures how institutions are positioning right now: caution about the regime, a...
