A single wallet roundtripped $142.5 million in unrealized profit on Hyperliquid, peaking on Jan. 13 before collapsing to a negative $8.76 million loss as of Jan. 29. Meanwhile, all of this was visible in real time through public dashboards. The trader built a reputation during October 2025's historic liquidation wave and now operates under a microscope, where every entry, exit, and margin...
Ethereum's most infamous experiment is back. Not as a venture fund, but as something the ecosystem arguably needs more: a permanent security budget. On Jan. 29, a group of Ethereum veterans announced plans to convert roughly 75,000 ETH in decade-old recovery funds into a staked endowment whose yield will finance smart contract security work across Ethereum and its layer-2 ecosystem. The capital...
Bitcoin’s Thursday slide was a perfect illustration of a market that lost its marginal buyer and then discovered, in real time, how much leverage was sitting on top of that demand. The move wasn't a smooth ride lower; it came in sharp legs that pushed the price from $84,400 toward the low-$81,000s in a matter of minutes, with brief rebounds that failed to repair the damage.

The Agriculture panel’s action moves the bill closer to a full Senate fight over which regulator sets the rules for spot crypto markets.

This is a familiar story for those who have been in crypto for a while. Bitcoin crashes, rebounds, and a few altcoins follow after. Yet, that small- or medium-cap crypto with promising fundamentals never followed through. The question investors won't say aloud: Why did my token never catch the recovery bid? The answer has less to do with the coin's fundamentals and more to do with how crypto's...
Bitcoin is struggling to avoid a fourth consecutive monthly decline as the cryptocurrency market grapples with a fundamental shift in momentum that has left most investors underwater. Data from CryptoSlate indicate that the largest digital asset declined by nearly 7% over the last 24 hours to $82,513. According to CoinGlass data, long traders speculating on the BTC price were liquidated for more...
Bitcoin traders are treating fund flows like macro bets, and one Fed data change is the hidden risk Key takeaways Bitcoin’s institutional demand can be monitored in issuer AUM snapshots such as BlackRock’s IBIT, which listed net assets of $69,427,196,929 as of Jan. 28, 2026 on its product pages. Weekly crypto fund flows have begun to trade like macro positioning, with CoinShares documenting a...
XRP has opened 2026 trading in a tight range under $2 as it failed to establish a clear trend in the year’s opening month. However, underlying data suggests high-net-worth investors are accumulating the token despite the lack of price momentum. Data from on-chain analytics firm Santiment revealed that the XRP network has added a net 42 “millionaire” wallets since the start of 2026. These are...
The following is a guest post and opinion from Jenny Drinkwater, Marketing Manager at System73. For years, crypto payments have lived in an awkward middle ground. They were never quite mainstream, but they also never disappeared. Merchants experimented, users showed curiosity, and yet, for most businesses, accepting crypto still felt like something peripheral rather than essential. As the...
Ethereum (ETH) announced ERC-8004 is heading to mainnet, positioning the network as a neutral infrastructure for a problem the AI industry can't yet solve: how agents prove they're trustworthy when no single platform controls the reputation layer. The timing reveals the underlying tension, as AI agents are moving from demos into production systems that trigger real transactions. Mastercard is...
