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...
OpenEden has partnered with FalconX and Monarq to launch PRISM, a new tokenized yield portfolio designed to offer stable returns and low correlation to crypto price movements through a diversified, professionally managed strategy.
PRISM, which stands for Portfolio of Risk-adjusted Investment Strategy Mix, is expected to launch in February 2026. The product is actively managed by Monarq using a...
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...
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong told Bloomberg at Davos that investors who don't have at least 5% of their net worth in Bitcoin will “probably be pretty sad” by 2030.
Recently, Morgan Stanley's wealth management division published portfolio guidelines capping crypto exposure at 4% maximum for even its most aggressive growth models. Both used “5%” as their anchor. Neither meant the same thing.
The...
The crypto industry's capital headline for 2025 looks like a comeback story: $50.6 billion across 1,409 transactions, up sharply from 2024's totals.
However, the composition tells a different story.
According to the annual Crypto Fundraising Report, 43.7% of that capital came from just 21 mergers and acquisitions (M...
The following is a guest post by Nischal Shetty, Founder at WazirX and Shardeum.
On 2nd January 2026, an anonymous trader on crypto prediction platform Polymarket put down roughly $30,000 on a contract that Nicolás Maduro would be out of power by 31 January 2026. Within hours of a U.S. special forces raid that resulted in Maduro’s capture, that position was worth more than $436,000. Meanwhile,...
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...
