European leaders facing a Greenland-linked dispute with Washington could treat U.S. Treasurys as a leverage point. That would test not just the headline size of foreign holdings, but the market’s capacity to absorb speed, and how quickly higher yields would filter into the dollar, U.S. credit conditions, and crypto liquidity. The Financial Times has framed Greenland as a plausible flashpoint for...
Binance, the largest crypto exchange by trading volume, has listed Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin on its platform. On Jan. 21, the exchange announced that it would open spot trading pairs, including RLUSD/USDT, RLUSD/U, and XRP/RLUSD, on Jan. 22 by 8 AM UTC. Critically, Binance will initiate trading on the RLUSD/USDT and RLUSD/U pairs with zero fees until further notice. To a casual trader, this reads...
At first glance, this looks like a story that lives on the back pages of a newspaper, Japanese government bonds with maturities that run so long they sound like a joke, 20 years, 30 years, 40 years. If you own Bitcoin, you still end up in the blast radius. Because when Japan’s long-dated bonds start to wobble, it is rarely just about Japan. It is about the world’s last big source of cheap money...
Canada's Prime Minister, Mark Carney, walked onto the World Economic Forum's Davos stage yesterday and said the quiet part out loud. The rules-based order, the thing leaders love to invoke when they want the world to behave, is fading. Carney called it a “pleasant fiction.” He said we are living through a “rupture.” He said great powers are using integration as a weapon, tariffs as leverage,...
Ethereum is currently reporting the highest daily network growth in its history, a statistical surge that ostensibly signals a massive return of user activity. Over the past week, the Ethereum mainnet processed 2.9 million transactions, a new all-time high according to Token Terminal data. This activity was accompanied by a sharp jump in daily active addresses, which rose to approximately 1.3...
Bitcoin price surrendered the psychological $90,000 stronghold during early Asian trading hours on Jan. 21, marking a decisive breakdown that has effectively erased the asset's gains for the start of 2026. According to CryptoSlate's data, the world’s largest digital asset plummeted to a session low of $87,282 over the last 24 hours. This downturn was not an isolated event but part of a broader,...
Bermuda wants to become the world's first “fully on-chain national economy.” The announcement, delivered jointly by the island's government, Circle, and Coinbase on Jan. 19, frames the initiative as the deployment of digital asset infrastructure across government agencies, local banks, insurers, small businesses, and consumers, with USDC positioned as the primary payment rail. The pitch: fast,...
When the Ethereum Foundation dropped a thread on Jan. 19 claiming “Ethereum is the #1 choice for global financial institutions” and backing it with 35 cited examples, it moved past the standard protocol update or developer announcement. It read like institutional marketing: a ranked claim, a curated evidence stack, and a call-to-action funnel pointing readers to an owned landing page where...
NYSE said it is developing a platform for trading and on-chain settlement of tokenized securities, and will seek regulatory approvals for a proposed new NYSE venue powered by that infrastructure. According to the owners, ICE, the system is designed to support 24/7 operations, instant settlement, orders sized in dollar amounts, and stablecoin-based funding. It combines NYSE’s Pillar matching...
Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) acquired an additional 22,305 Bitcoin for approximately $2.13 billion between Jan. 12 and Jan. 19, continuing an aggressive accumulation campaign that has absorbed 3.38% of the top crypto's total supply. That works out to 3.55% of the circulating supply of 19.97 million coins. The purchases were executed at an average price of $95,284 per bitcoin, according to a...
