The South Korean stock market (KOSPI) closed near 5,094 after falling 12.06% in a single session today.
The index had already fallen 7.24% the prior session, taking the two-day slide to roughly 18.4% on a compounded basis. South Korean equities did not fall alone, but the magnitude set Korea apart in a global risk-off window.
However, Bitcoin moved higher during Asian hours to touch $72,000 for...
CFTC Chairman Michael Selig wants to bring perpetual futures home, and it could happen as early as next month, according to his latest statement.
In January remarks titled “Limitless: Onshoring True Perpetual Derivatives,” he laid out a vision for pulling crypto's most widely used leverage tool into US regulatory territory.
Selig framed perps as instruments for “risk management and price...
MARA Holdings may be poised to test the current BTC treasury meta. Major miners have been accumulating BTC as a strategic treasury rather than treating it as working capital. A shift could have implications that extend well beyond a single company.
The company's March 2 filing authorizes balance-sheet sales of its entire 53,822 BTC treasury, representing a complete reversal of its 2024 “retain...
XRP served as the proof of concept in an assembly manual for altcoin ETFs.
In a Mar. 2 post, Bitnomial argued that the real crypto-ETF shift isn't the SEC's faster timelines, but that regulated futures on CFTC-designated contract markets have become the practical prerequisite for new crypto ETF listings.
XRP has moved from the centerpiece of the SEC's “unregistered securities” enforcement agenda...
Washington’s push for a federal crypto rulebook reignited a long-running industry debate over what “regulatory clarity” actually delivers and who it helps.

The legislation is designed to clarify boundaries...
On Feb. 28, coordinated strikes hit Iranian nuclear facilities while most benchmark commodity markets sat dark.
Traditional gold futures on CME's COMEX exchange wouldn't reopen until Sunday evening Central Time, leaving a 48-hour window where macro risk had nowhere obvious to express itself.
Except it did: on venues that never close.
By the time COMEX gold futures flickered back online Sunday at...
A federal judge in New York dismissed fraud claims against Uniswap for the second time this month, and the decision carries implications far beyond the cryptocurrency industry.
At stake: whether platforms that provide neutral infrastructure can be held liable when bad actors exploit those tools to commit fraud.
Judge Katherine Polk Failla's ruling applies a principle that translates cleanly...
Brent crude oil is trading like a geopolitical asset again, and that is forcing Bitcoin back into a macro test it has not fully resolved.
For a third straight session, oil climbed as the widening US-Israel conflict with Iran revived fears of disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow maritime chokepoint that handles roughly a fifth of global oil consumption flows and significant LNG traffic....
Bitcoin traded through a familiar sequence after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran: a fast weekend drop, a rebound that started before traditional markets reopened, and then a cleaner weekday repricing once U.S.-linked liquidity came back online.
The operation was a major escalation, and cross-market positioning followed the script: energy higher, equity futures lower, and a renewed demand for “...

Project Catalyst, the on-chain grants mechanism that has distributed over $150 million across 2,200 projects since launch, recently announced that stewardship is moving from Input Output Global to the Cardano Foundation.
