The World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) has called on financial regulators to tighten oversight of tokenized stocks, warning that the products could expose investors to hidden risks and undermine trust in traditional markets. Reuters reported on Aug. 25 that WFE warned that tokenized equities replicate the appearance of stocks without conferring the same rights or protections that shareholders...
The last stretch of August has produced a sharp divergence between spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Bitcoin ETFs recorded six consecutive days of outflows, draining nearly $2 billion from funds between Aug. 19 and Aug. 22 alone. In contrast, Ethereum ETFs posted two days of inflows after enduring several red sessions, indicating that investor interest spiked during ETH’s latest price upswing....
Bitcoin slipped to its weakest level in more than a month after a major investor began unloading thousands of coins in favor of Ethereum. Data from CryptoSlate show the asset trading at roughly $111,600 on Monday, down nearly 3% in a single day and its lowest mark since early July. The sell-off erased gains from just a week earlier, when Bitcoin briefly rallied above $117,000 on speculation the...
Galaxy Digital, Multicoin Capital, and Jump Crypto are seeking about $1 billion to assemble a Solana treasury through a public company vehicle, according to Bloomberg, with Cantor Fitzgerald engaged as lead banker and a takeover of a listed entity contemplated for the structure.

Crypto liquidations reached $806.44 million in the past 24 hours, wiping out leveraged positions at a scale not seen in weeks. The liquidation cascade followed a steep drawdown in prices: Bitcoin fell from an opening level of $114,163 to a close near $111,931, with intraday extremes stretching from $114,373 down to $110,802. Ethereum mirrored this move, sliding from $4,784 to $4,635, with a...
Blockchains scaled—and then splintered. Liquidity scattered across L2s, bridges kept breaking, and “data availability” turned into the new bottleneck. Avail wants to solve all three at once. Founded to deliver verifiable, scalable data availability, the project now positions itself as a full-stack unification layer: a DA base, Nexus for proof-based interoperability, and Fusion for shared security...
The world’s number-one crypto is looking more like a mature asset class every day as Bitcoin volatility continues to drop (yes, even as it blasts past all-time highs and promptly retraces its steps). Bitcoin volatility has reached a five-year low Bitcoin has long been regarded as one of the most volatile financial assets; its turbulent price fluctuations over the years have deterred many...
According to a poignantly on-point educational video by Bitcoin media company TFCT, which depicts a society in decline, leaving the gold standard was the “most costly mistake we ever made” and the beginning of generational ruin. The video, released to mark the anniversary of Nixon closing the gold window, depicts a grandfather on his porch imparting his words of wisdom (and regret) to his...
The following is a guest post and analysis from Shane Neagle, Editor In Chief from The Tokenist. Although the Terra (LUNA) collapse pricked the crypto bubble in May 2022, it took the FTX exchange catastrophe to firmly pop it at the year’s end. Ever since, the blockchain narrative has been supplanted by the AI hype. Moreover, during the Biden administration, the crypto space entered a vulnerable...
