Hyperliquid is learning how quickly sentiment can turn in crypto.
According to CryptoSlate data, HYPE, the token that powers the decentralized perpetuals exchange, has dropped to seven-month lows in December after a year in which Hyperliquid looked like the default venue for on-chain leverage.
During this period, the platform's trading volumes have stalled just as newer platforms have surged on...
SBI Ripple Asia signed a memorandum of understanding with Doppler Finance to explore XRP-based yield infrastructure and real-world asset tokenization on the XRP Ledger, the firms said Dec. 17.
According to information shared with CryptoSlate, firms said they will explore collaboration on yield infrastructure for XRP, which lacks native staking, as well as RWA tokenization flows on XRPL.

Michael Saylor delivered a characteristically bold take on Dec. 16 about Bitcoin and the quantum leap:
“The Bitcoin Quantum Leap: Quantum computing won't break Bitcoin—it will harden it. The network upgrades, active coins migrate, lost coins stay frozen. Security goes up. Supply comes down. Bitcoin grows stronger.”
The statement captures the optimistic case for Bitcoin's post-quantum future....
Next year's first quarter could prove kinder to Bitcoin than late 2025, not because bank-run stablecoins arrive overnight, but because the pipes feeding retail and advisors just widened.
Vanguard reversed its crypto ban, opening spot ETF access to roughly 50 million clients. Bank of America advisors can now recommend crypto allocations of 1% to 4% starting early January.

For years, US banks treated Bitcoin as something best observed from a distance.
The asset lived on specialist exchanges and trading apps, walled off from core banking systems by capital rules, custody worries, and reputational risk.
However, that posture is finally giving way.
According to data from River, nearly 60% of the country’s 25 largest banks are now somewhere on the path to selling,...
For two years, decentralized finance operated on the concept that purely crypto-native assets could serve as the monetary base for a parallel financial system.
Ethereum staked through Lido anchored billions in DeFi loans, wrapped Bitcoin backed perpetual swaps, and algorithmic stablecoins recycled protocol emissions into synthetic dollars.
The entire edifice assumed crypto could bootstrap its own...

Over the past years, the institutional knock against Solana was simple: the network broke under pressure.
This week, the network quietly absorbed a distributed denial-of-service attack peaking at about 6 terabits per second, according to data from delivery network Pipe. This was corroborated by Solana co-founders, including Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal.
If those figures are accurate, the...
This viral “Gemini meltdown” reveals a specific illusion in AI code that makes you trust it too much
I keep seeing the same screenshot popping up, the one where an AI model appears to have a full-blown inner monologue, petty, insecure, competitive, a little unhinged.
