One thing we rarely think about is how bad weather can affect Bitcoin's security, but it happens fairly regularly. Snow can legitimately pose a risk to Bitcoin miners who secure the blockchain.
The snow shows up on the weather map first, a fat smear of color stretching across state lines. Then it turns into the stuff you actually feel: power lines dancing in the wind, crews on standby, households...

Gold’s vertical surge toward $7,150 exposes Bitcoin but there’s 4 ways the narrative could flip fast
Gold just did what safe havens are supposed to do: it went vertical.
On Jan. 26, bullion surged past the psychological $5,000 barrier and briefly topped $5,100 an ounce as investors stampeded toward insurance. This move extends a historic run that saw the precious metal rise 64% in 2025, marking the metal's biggest annual gain since 1979.
The increase shows that investors are moving aggressively...
Wall Street’s next leap may look boring from the outside, but it's a huge development that's shrouded in corporate speak: T+0 settlement, shorthand for settling a trade the same day it happens.
Deloitte’s 2026 outlook flags it as one of the main themes of the year, alongside signals that regulators want to streamline rules, encourage experimentation, and open paths for blockchain-based products....
Tokenized US Treasuries crossed $10 billion in total value this week, a milestone that confirms the category has moved from proof-of-concept to operational infrastructure.
Yet, something happening underneath this achievement is just as important: Circle's USYC has edged past BlackRock's BUIDL as the largest tokenized Treasury product, signaling that distribution rails and collateral mechanics now...
The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, better known as the CLARITY Act, was supposed to draw clean lines around crypto assets and which regulator gets the first call.
CryptoSlate has already walked readers through the bill’s larger architecture ahead of the January markup, including what changed, what stayed unresolved, and why jurisdiction and state preemption may matter as much as the headline...
When Solana maintainers told validators to move quickly on Agave v3.0.14, the message arrived with more urgency than detail.
The Solana Status account called the release “urgent” and said it contained a “critical set of patches” for Mainnet Beta validators.
Within a day, the public conversation drifted toward a harder question: if a proof-of-stake network needs a fast coordinated upgrade, what...
Institutions have learned to live with Bitcoin’s volatility because volatility is measurable and, for many strategies, manageable. What still holds back large allocations is the risk of moving the market while getting in or out.
A fund can hedge price swings with options or futures, but it can't hedge the cost of pushing through a thin order book, widening spreads, and turning a rebalance into...
Makina Finance lost 1,299 ETH, roughly $4.13 million, in a flash-loan and oracle manipulation exploit.
The attacker drained the protocol's funds and broadcast the transaction to Ethereum's public mempool, where it should have been picked up by validators and included in the next block.
Instead, an MEV builder identified by the address 0xa6c2 front-ran the draining transaction, redirecting most of...
Senate Agriculture Committee Chair John Boozman on Jan. 21 released updated text for a crypto market structure bill and set a committee markup for Jan. 27.
The draft bill, titled the “Digital Commodity Intermediaries Act,” would give the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) a defined framework to supervise parts of the spot crypto market when activity runs through brokers, dealers,...
