On May 29, CME says it will launch 24/7 trading for its cryptocurrency futures and options on the CME Globex platform, starting at 4:00 p.m. CT, pending...
Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, continued its price struggles as traders weighed two stress-tinged signals from the US financial ecosystem.
This week, there was a sudden $18.5 billion Federal Reserve overnight repo operation, and Blue Owl Capital has decided to permanently halt redemptions from a retail-focused private credit fund.

XRP is attracting institutional money and a burst of bullish positioning, even as much of the crypto industry remains stuck in a risk-off tape.
According to a CoinShares report, XRP is the best-performing crypto token this year, attracting around $150 million in fresh capital, while Bitcoin and Ethereum have registered cumulative outflows of around $1.5 billion.

The headline may look like ragebait but at the current outflow rate its an objective truth. Since Bitcoin hit its all-time high last October, US spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen outflows on 55 days out of 89. If this doesn't turn around before the next halving there will be a lot less BTC inside ETF wrappers on that day.

Oil isn't supposed to be the story in 2026. The macro narrative powering “cuts soon, liquidity soon” trades relies on disinflation staying intact.
However, Brent jumped 4.35% to $70.35 on Feb. 18, and WTI surged 4.59% to $65.19 after headlines revived the risk of a US-Iran conflict and Russia-Ukraine talks ended without breakthroughs.
This isn't just an “oil traders” print. It's a rates print,...

Dragonfly Capital closed its fourth fund at $650 million this week, the same size as its 2022 vehicle, raised into a venture market Fortune calls a “mass extinction event.”
The headline reads like a vote of confidence: institutional capital returning, crypto winter thawing, alt season loading. But peel back one layer and the picture warps.
Dragonfly's partners describe a pivot toward fintech...
Bitcoin’s grip on the crypto market is tightening again, and the numbers behind that shift help explain why a broad basket of altcoins is unlikely to beat the top crypto.
Data from CoinMarketCap indicate that Bitcoin's dominance is edging upwards towards 60% of the total crypto market capitalization. In comparison, altcoins' dominance has been trending downwards in the current market cycle.

At 7:12 a.m. on a random Tuesday in February, an email lands with a subject line that looks harmless enough: “Your tax forms are ready.”
For Maya, a part-time designer who bought a little Bitcoin during the 2021 hype, then sold small chunks across a couple of apps when life got expensive, it feels like a routine admin chore.
Click, download, done, back to work. Then the attachment tells a...
Peter Thiel went to zero in ETHZilla, and the ETH treasury company trade just got a lot more real
On Feb. 17, an amended 13G/A posted to ETHZilla’s investor site listed Peter Thiel and Founders Fund-related vehicles at zero shares and 0.0% beneficial ownership.
The filing also stamped a “date of event” of Dec. 31, 2025, which sets the timing frame for what the document captures, a beneficial...
