Log in to Coinbase next tax season, and your tax documents might no longer arrive by mail.
Under a new IRS proposal, crypto exchanges could be required to file Form 1099-DA electronically. This form reports digital asset trades, and could refuse to do business with customers who decline to provide it.
The comment period closes May 5, and if finalized, the rule would shift crypto tax reporting...
The following is a guest post and guest post from Thomas Pratter, Founder and CEO at Renesis.
Liquid crypto funds are having a moment. The number of actively managed vehicles keeps growing, DeFi strategies are gaining legitimacy, and regulatory clarity is slowly catching up. Institutional allocators are paying closer attention than ever.
But behind the optimism sits a less glamorous truth: most...
A large volume of US commercial real estate (CRE) debt is rolling into a very different market from the one that produced it.
The Mortgage Bankers Association says $875 billion of commercial and multifamily mortgages are scheduled to mature in 2026, equal to 17% of the roughly $5 trillion of outstanding balances it tracks.
While that's below the $957 billion that was due in 2025, it's still a...
Headlines about Bitcoin ETF outflows often mix two things: Bitcoin's price move and actual share redemptions.
If BTC drops, ETF AUM drops in dollars even if nobody sells a single share. That mark-to-market drop gets read as money leaving, and it can look like an institutional exit when the wrapper's Bitcoin holdings and shares outstanding barely move.
To understand whether investors are actually...
When crude starts leading the headlines, crypto people tend to ask the wrong questions, like what it is that oil actually does to Bitcoin.
While it's the simplest and easiest way to explain what you don't know, it's a pretty bad question. A better one is what oil actually does to the cost of money, because Bitcoin is now trading like a live chart of liquidity expectations.
Oil is one of the...
Bitcoin’s rebound on March 4 looked odd if you only watched it through the usual “risk assets are breaking” lens. Oil was jumping, shipping insurers were repricing war risk, and traders were treating the Strait of Hormuz like a live wire. All of the headlines had the cadence of a full-blown crisis.
However, Bitcoin climbed back into the same $70,000 zone it has been orbiting for weeks, despite...
AI is raising demand for builders, not erasing them
In February, a Citadel Securities analysis using Indeed data showed software-engineer job postings rising while overall job postings stayed weaker.
That split does not mean AI is creating jobs across the whole economy. However, one of the clearest fears around large language models may be somewhat overblown. The current narrative is that...
Washington lawmakers are moving on multiple fronts to curb the most politically toxic corners of prediction markets after millions of dollars flowed into bets tied to US-linked military action in Iran.
Over the past week, several Democratic lawmakers have been pursuing multiple paths to rein in the fast-rising business.
One effort, led by Rep. Mike Levin and Sen. Chris Murphy, focuses on war-...
Bitcoin’s brief rally above $73,000 during the past day has the feel of a price performance that could still fade, fast, noisy, and familiar to anyone who has watched bear-market rebounds fail.
What is different this time is not the price print, but the growing alignment of signals pointing to a possible transition out of peak negative momentum.
For context, Swissblock’s momentum framework showed...
President Donald Trump projected four to five weeks for the conflict with Iran to come to an end. The market priced its playbook: headline shock, brief spike, diplomatic theater, then normalization.
That script worked in 2019 when drones hit Saudi Aramco facilities, and Brent jumped 15% only to surrender the entire gain within weeks. Traders bought the panic, sold the resolution, and moved on....
