I keep thinking about the kind of person who owns a little Bitcoin tucked away for the future, a little gold tucked away for the past.
They are usually calm people; they do not trade headlines, they do not care about the daily noise, and they just want something solid on both sides of the monetary fence. For years that felt sensible, because Bitcoin’s long arc against gold looked like a one-way...
Changpeng Zhao spoke at the World Economic Forum's 2026 Annual Meeting in Davos this week, his first appearance on the official programme since Binance's 2023 US settlement and his subsequent guilty plea, prison sentence, and presidential pardon.
The listing placed him squarely in WEF's “New Era for Finance” track, including a session titled “Where Are We on Stablecoins?”, a framing that treated...
BlackRock’s 2026 Thematic Outlook put Ethereum at the center of its tokenization thesis, asking whether the network could serve as a “toll road.”
BlackRock stated that “of tokenized assets 65%+ are on Ethereum.”
The framing pushes Ethereum into an infrastructure role rather than a directional call on ETH. A “toll road” model depends on where issuance, settlement and fee payment occur when real-...
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded three straight trading sessions of net outflows this week, totaling $1.58 billion.
The pullback follows a brief stretch of positive follow-through, sandwiched between another three-day outflow streak from Jan. 7 – 9 that totaled $1.134 billion, or about $378 million a day leaving the category.
Earlier in the month, flows flipped the other way, with...
Pierre Rochard's call for the Federal Reserve to integrate Bitcoin into its stress tests came at an unusual moment: the Fed is soliciting public comment on its 2026 scenarios while simultaneously proposing new transparency requirements for how it builds and updates those models.
The timing creates a natural question that has nothing to do with whether Rochard's specific claims hold up: can the...
A single wallet on Hyperliquid holds a long position worth roughly $649.6 million in Ethereum (ETH), with 223,340 ETH entered at around $3,161.85, with a liquidation estimate near $2,268.37.
As of press time, ETH traded around $2,908.30, and the liquidation threshold sits about 22% below that. This is far enough to avoid imminent danger but close enough to matter if volatility accelerates.
The...
President Donald Trump's announcement that he would not impose tariffs scheduled for Feb. 1 triggered a sharp reversal in risk assets, with Bitcoin rebounding above $90,000 after testing $87,300 earlier in the session.
The move erased most of a two-day selloff driven by trade-war fears tied to Trump's Greenland push, confirming Bitcoin's status as a high-beta macro asset that amplifies...
Senate Agriculture Chair John Boozman has now released updated crypto market structure text, posting a full bill PDF last night.
The release locks in a near-term Senate Agriculture path to markup next week, but it also hardens a political split that could determine whether Senate Banking gets a negotiated bridge or a rival marker for later talks.
Politico's Jasper Goodman reported the draft “has...
Bitcoin is struggling to build momentum around the $90,000 level, yet at least one headline-grabbing buyer appears to be leaning in the opposite direction.
Adam Back, the CEO of Blockstream, said on X (formerly Twitter) that a “Bitfinex whale” is purchasing roughly 450 Bitcoin per day at current price levels, a pace that would translate into about $40.6 million of daily demand with Bitcoin...
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...
