Crypto opened the doors to retail now Wall Street is feasting on it
Retail investors were sold a story about market access that was impossible to argue with: trading would be cheaper, information would be easier to find, public blockchains would pull back the curtain, and the old hierarchy that once defined finance would lose some of its grip.
What that story left out, and what has become harder...
Bitcoin drops after Trump’s Truth Social threat turns ceasefire language into renewed escalation
Overnight, Bitcoin dramatically fell 2.8% after President Donald Trump issued a Truth Social post threatening to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz was not reopened within 48 hours.
The drop ran from roughly $70,400 to $68,200 before a partial rebound toward $69,500. By press...
One economic word could well define 2026: stagflation.
It is an ugly word that describes a regime where prices keep rising while growth loses force, labor weakens, and policymakers run short of easy options.
That combination changes the texture of daily life fast.
Households feel it in food, fuel, insurance, rent, transport, utilities, subscriptions, and credit. Businesses feel it in margins,...
The SEC and CFTC just gave crypto its clearest and most straightforward regulatory guidance in years. Most crypto assets will no longer be treated as presumptive securities, and the agencies drew a sharper line between open crypto markets and tokenized versions of traditional financial products.
Under normal conditions, that kind of clarity should have been a major bullish catalyst, but it wasn't...
Wall Street has spent months debating when the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates. Now, traders are considering if the next move could be a hike.
Two days past the Fed's Mar. 18 decision to hold its target range at 3.50%-3.75%, markets moved in the opposite direction. Bloomberg-based pricing climbed above 60% odds of a hike by October, with roughly 15 basis points of tightening priced by...
The average Bitcoin retail investor who recently discovered crypto might never have considered a stablecoin that pays yield on an idle balance. That fight, buried inside Senate negotiations over the CLARITY Act, is about to matter to them anyway.
Politico reported this week that senators and White House advisers have reached an agreement in principle on stablecoin-yield language, which was the...
The following is a guest post and analysis from Vincent Maliepaard, Marketing Director at Sentora.
Stablecoins have become a meaningful settlement layer, lending markets continue to expand, and tokenized real-world assets keep growing. Visa said global stablecoin transaction volume rose from more than $3.5 trillion in 2023 to more than $5.5 trillion in 2024. That is not the profile of a niche...
How the BlinkEx trading platform is built – matching speed, risk controls, and reliability. A сomprehensive review
What “trading infrastructure” actually means here
If you strip away marketing, an exchange's infrastructure is basically three things: how orders get matched, how the system behaves under stress, and what safety rails exist when something looks off. BlinkEx is a next-generation venue...
Crypto wallets used to mean one thing: self-custody. Users held their keys, owned their assets, and stayed off the radar of traditional finance.
Phantom's Mar. 17 no-action relief from the CFTC's Market Participants Division rewrites that definition.
The letter allows Phantom to serve as the consumer interface for regulated derivatives without registering as an introducing broker, provided...
A proposal in Washington could alter one of the basic rhythms of US markets: how often public companies have to publish quarterly reports.
The SEC is reportedly preparing a proposal that would make quarterly reporting optional, letting companies file financial updates twice a year instead of four times. Backers say the current system feeds short-term thinking and adds cost.
Opponents warn that...
