Dow Jones announced an exclusive partnership to distribute Polymarket prediction data across The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, and MarketWatch on the same day Kalshi claimed it had hit $100 billion in annualized trading volume.
The juxtaposition captures where prediction markets sit at the start of 2026: simultaneously legitimized as a financial data product and mired in methodological disputes...
Wyoming launched a state-backed stablecoin on Solana, and Morgan Stanley filed for a Solana trust product this week. Last month, Visa expanded USDC settlement to run on Solana rails, and JPMorgan tokenized commercial paper using Solana for part of the settlement stack.
These are not rumors or roadmap promises. They happened over 60 days, and they force a cleaner question than the old binary:...
Bitcoin is trapped in a $54 billion Nvidia gamble that could trigger a sudden institutional sell-off
Beijing's reported request for Chinese tech firms to halt orders of Nvidia's H200 chips arrives at a moment when Bitcoin has become uncomfortably tethered to AI equity sentiment.
As The Information and Reuters reported on Jan. 7, the move affects “some” Chinese companies and may presage a mandate requiring domestic purchases of AI chips.
For Bitcoin holders, the question is not about chip...
Crypto firms like Ripple are betting on a Senate deal that is rapidly unraveling behind closed doors
The US crypto industry has launched a unified push for Congress to pass federal market-structure legislation, known as the “Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025” (H.R. 3633).
The legislation is viewed by industry proponents as the necessary “missing layer” of federal law to allow the industry to thrive.

Solana’s ecosystem recorded its strongest financial year to date in 2025, posting all-time highs in revenue, active users, and trading volume even as the network’s native token finished the year nearly 50% below its early peak.
According to CryptoSlate data, SOL rallied to more than $250 in the first quarter of 2025 before broader market headwinds dragged the asset to a low of $105, and it closed...
Bitcoin ETFs grabbed $1.2 billion in the first two trading sessions of 2026, coinciding with BTC's climb to $94,000, a 7% gain in just days. The narrative wrote itself: institutional money flooded in, prices followed.
Yet, that correlation masks a more complex structural shift unfolding across options markets, on-chain flows, and derivatives positioning, suggesting the rally's foundation runs...
Crypto companies serving EU residents began collecting tax data on Jan. 1, 2026, under the European Union’s DAC8 rules. That start date has fed viral claims on X that the bloc has “ended crypto privacy.”
The European Commission's guidance for DAC8 set Jan. 1, 2026, as the operational start date for data collection. However, many commentators are overreaching in their conclusions, and the implied...
The US Supreme Court returns from a four-week break on Jan. 9 with a potentially consequential economic ruling: whether the President Donald Trump administration lawfully imposed sweeping tariffs under emergency powers, or whether those duties on hundreds of billions in imports violated Congressional limits.
Prediction markets give the government only a 23% to 30% chance of winning. Treasury...
