A suspect posing as a delivery worker entered a Mission Dolores home near 18th and Dolores around 6:45 a.m. on Nov. 22, restrained the resident, and stole a phone, laptop, and about $11 million in cryptocurrency, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. San Francisco police had not announced arrests or provided asset details as of Sunday, and no chain or token mix has been disclosed. Physical...
Bitcoin bounced off $85,000 over the weekend and stayed within the $87k to $89.6k decision zone. The move keeps price pinned between nearby liquidity shelves on the attached 30-minute map, with the first overhead cap clustered at $92.8k to $93.4k and a ladder of supports down through $84k, $82.5k to $81.5k, and the $79k shelf. Derivatives positioning remains cautious, U.S. spot-ETF flows have...
Investors long paid premiums for Digital Asset Treasury firms, seeing them as practical substitutes for holding Bitcoin when direct access was limited. That approach worked when regulated channels were scarce and corporate balance sheets offered the closest approximation to holding the asset itself. But according to Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise Asset Management, the conditions...
The playbook was simple enough to work once: dress as delivery drivers, knock on the door, force entry at gunpoint, and extract private keys under threat. In June 2024, three men executed that script at a residential address in the UK and walked away with more than $4.3 million in cryptocurrency. Five months later, Sheffield Crown Court sentenced Faris Ali and two accomplices after the...
Japan is quietly preparing the most pro-crypto shift of any G7 nation. According to multiple reports from local media, the Financial Services Agency (FSA) is drafting a sweeping reclassification of digital assets that would bring Bitcoin, Ethereum, and around 100 other tokens under the same umbrella as stocks and investment funds. If the plan moves forward, Japan will treat these tokens as “...
Welcome to Slate Sunday, CryptoSlate’s weekly feature showcasing in-depth interviews, expert analysis, and thought-provoking op-eds that go beyond the headlines to explore the ideas and voices shaping the future of crypto. If you’ve been anywhere near tech Twitter this year, you’ve probably heard someone talk about “vibe coding.” Maybe you scrolled past the viral memes, caught Karim’s thread...
Influencers on X love pointing to rising M2 charts or a softening dollar as proof that Bitcoin is about to blast off. Those overlays make for great engagement, but they flatten a far more complex relationship. They matter, but not in the simple, linear way they’re often sold. Money printing, which increases the global M2 money supply, is said to lead Bitcoin price movements by about 12 weeks. The...
For a few days in November, a malicious Chrome extension ranked as the fourth result for “Ethereum wallet” on the Chrome Web Store. The extension, called “Safery: Ethereum Wallet,” looked polished enough to pass as legitimate. It had a clean icon, a generic name adjacent to security language, a flood of five-star reviews, and boilerplate descriptions familiar to anyone who’s downloaded a crypto...
For a while, owning Bitcoin was professionally awkward. Big asset managers couldn’t touch it, compliance teams didn’t know what to do with it, and internal mandates typically banned the direct custody of anything that looked like a bearer instrument. But equities? Equities were fine. That’s how MicroStrategy, a Virginia-based enterprise software firm, became the most traded Bitcoin proxy in the...
In 2019, Rodolfo Novak sent a Bitcoin transaction from Toronto to Michigan without internet or satellite. He used a ham radio, the 40-meter band, and the ionosphere as his relay. Nick Szabo called it “Bitcoin sent over national border without internet or satellite, just nature’s ionosphere.” The transaction was tiny, the setup finicky, and the use case borderline absurd. Yet, it proved something...
