The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released its delayed Personal Income and Outlays report on Jan. 22, publishing October and November PCE inflation together.
The print put headline PCE at 0.2% month over month in both months, with headline PCE at 2.7% year over year in October and 2.8% in November. Core PCE was also 0.2% month over month in both months, with core PCE at 2.7% year over year in...
The following is a guest post and opinion from Artemiy Parshakov, VP of Institutions at P2P.org.
How the Institutional View of Self-Custody Is Changing
For years, institutional participants largely equated self-custody with retail risk. Managing private keys, interacting directly with protocols, and relying on personal hardware were viewed as practices better suited to individual users than...
Crypto's IPO market is back, but the companies leading the charge aren't the ones most exposed to token volatility.
BitGo priced its initial public offering on Jan. 21 at $18 per share, raising $212.8 million and valuing the custody platform at $2.08 billion. Shares opened the next day at $22.43, a 24.6% jump that pushed the implied valuation to $2.59 billion.

Bitcoin’s recent price action had a familiar signature: leverage built on the bounce, funding turned supportive for longs, then the market ran the nearest pockets of fragility until forced selling took over.
BTC bouncing up and down in the $80,000 range is a result of futures positioning. Data showed roughly $794 million in Bitcoin long liquidations this week as it touched ~$87,800, with...
If you have ever landed in London, opened your banking app, and felt that tiny jolt of disbelief, you are not alone.
One pound shows up as more than one dollar, again, and it feels wrong in the same way a meme coin with eight decimals feels wrong. The U.S. is bigger, the dollar runs the pipes of global finance, half the world prices stuff in USD, so why does a single unit of GBP still “cost” more...
Bitcoin price forecasts for 2026 from major banks, asset managers, and market commentators span a wide range, roughly from $75,000 to $250,000, with many targets clustering in the low-to-mid six figures.
The wide range reflects uncertainty about whether institutional demand can offset softer retail participation and whether Bitcoin’s macro sensitivity to liquidity conditions reasserts itself...

Bitcoin mining consumed around 171 TWh in 2025, representing 16% of total data center energy use.
All traditional data centers worldwide consumed between 448 and 1,050 TWh in 2025, with estimates varying across analysts' data. Gartner has it at 448 TWh, while Socomec and the IEA cite a range between 600 and 1050 TWh.
Gartner projections suggest this will reach 980 TWh by 2030, but IEA data also...
Bitcoin’s earliest realistic path to becoming the world’s global reserve currency (defined here as reserve-currency primacy rather than limited reserve-asset adoption) sits around the mid-2040s under a scenario model that treats official mandates, collateral usage, and invoicing conventions as binding constraints.
That timeline starts from a reserve system where total global foreign-exchange...
