A botched home invasion in the Paris suburbs on Feb. 12 marked a tactical shift in crypto's physical-threat or “wrench attack” landscape.
The target, according to French media reports, was the CEO of Binance France. Binance confirmed an employee was targeted and said the employee and family are safe.
Two phones were stolen before the suspects were arrested at Lyon Perrache station. The assailants...
The fiscal mathematics of the United States are drifting toward a threshold that markets can no longer afford to ignore, and a level that, relative to GDP, hasn't transpired since the last world war.
Washington’s latest budgetary outlook suggests the nation is on a trajectory to accumulate nearly $64 trillion in federal debt over the next decade.
The Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) most...
On some Ethereum L2s, bots now burn over half the gas just searching for MEV, and they don’t pay proportionally for it. That’s a scaling and market-fairness problem rooted in market structure.
The privacy conversation in crypto has finally escaped the “anonymous money” framing that dominated the last cycle. In early 2026, the urgency is economic and rooted in immediate financial realities.

XRP is sliding even as the XRP Ledger (XRPL) rolls out features that supporters have long framed as a bridge to institutional adoption.
According to CryptoSlate's data, the token has been trading around $1.47, while a mix of fresh supply signals, cooling marginal demand, and broader risk-off behavior continues to pressure the price.
At the same time, banking giant Standard Chartered reportedly...
Bitcoin's recent price crash towards $60,000 did more than just shave billions off market capitalizations or liquidate leveraged positions.
It served as a massive, chaotic stress test that exposed a widening behavioral fracture between the two most dominant venues in the digital asset economy.
On one side stands Coinbase, the largest US exchange, where Chief Executive Officer Brian Armstrong has...
Aave Labs posted a governance proposal on Feb. 12 asking tokenholders to endorse a strategic package that would direct 100% of Aave-branded product revenue to the DAO treasury, formalize brand protection, and center the roadmap on Aave V4.
The initiative was named the “Aave Will Win Framework.”
The proposal hasn't been implemented yet, as an early governance temperature check. Yet, the public...
In 2025 and early 2026, Bitcoin's behavior has been less “digital gold” and more regime-dependent. Sometimes it trades like a tech beta, then like a rates-and-liquidity-duration trade, and only intermittently like a hedge.
The real story is which macro regime makes which identity dominate next.
The setup matters. The Federal Reserve held the Fed funds target range at 3.5% to 3.75% on Jan. 28,...
The scoop: Bitcoin is on pace for a fifth straight monthly drop if February closes red, its longest losing streak since 2018, while spot ETF flows flip persistently negative, reinforcing a new reality: post-ETF BTC is trading like a rates-and-risk instrument. If it doesn't reverse in March and reclaim $80k, it will equal its worst period ever.
Bitcoin has closed lower in each of the past four...
The scoop: The Netherlands has just moved to tax Bitcoin like a stock, marked to market. Lawmakers in the Dutch House backed a Box 3 overhaul that would tax “actual returns,” including annual price changes in liquid assets like BTC, at a flat 36%, even if you never sell. The plan targets Jan. 1, 2028 (pending Senate approval), turning Bitcoin’s volatility into a yearly cash-flow problem.
The...
I came across some analysis that's relevant to Bitcoin this morning that cut through the usual stream of charts and market takes with a stark claim: there is “almost no cash on the sidelines.”
If true, it challenges one of the most persistent assumptions in both crypto and traditional markets, that a wall of idle capital is waiting to rotate into risk assets like Bitcoin and equities.
