Bitcoin has a talent for looking calm right up until it isn’t.
In the first trading days of 2026, the tape has had that familiar, coiled feel: enough headline noise to keep traders alert, not enough conviction to force a real move.
When crypto behaves like that, the next decisive push often doesn’t come from inside the industry at all.
It comes from the bond market, the dollar, and the set of...
If 2024 was the year crypto reentered the mainstream through TV tickers and glossy ETF commercials, then 2025 was the year the market learned to live with that attention.
It absorbed it, metabolized it, and let it shape how liquidity moved day to day.
Some stories were loud and obvious. Spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in capital, and price charts arced and dipped with the cadence of macro prints.
The...
Bitcoin ended 2025 with a realized daily volatility of 2.24%, the lowest annual reading in the asset's recorded history.
K33 Research's volatility chart stretches back to 2012, when Bitcoin saw daily moves of 7.58%, and shows steady compression through each cycle: 3.34% in 2022, 2.80% in 2024, and now 2.24% in 2025.
Yet, the narrative doesn't match the numbers. October's drawdown from $126,000 to...
XRP spot ETFs have crossed $1 billion in assets under management, with about $1.14 billion spread across five issuers. Net inflows since Nov. 14 sit near $423.27 million.
On the same CoinGlass dashboard, XRP itself sits around $1.88, with a market cap of $114.11 billion and about $382.14 million of 24-hour spot volume.
If your mental model is the Bitcoin ETF era, where “wrapper demand” and “price...
Bitcoin traded in the $80,000s on Dec. 31 just as U.S. inflation cooled and investors priced Federal Reserve rate cuts.
The lack of follow-through has left traders leaning less on macro headlines and more on a mix of real yields, money-market plumbing, and spot ETF flows. That shift is keeping price action pinned to defined levels even when “cuts are coming” dominates the narrative.
Macro without...
Tether bought 8,888 Bitcoin in Q4 2025, lifting its holdings above 96,000 BTC, according to a post by CEO Paolo Ardoino.
The purchase extends a strategy Tether has tied to operating results: allocating 15% of quarterly profits to Bitcoin.
If USDT liabilities keep expanding and short-term rates remain high enough to keep interest income elevated, that policy can translate stablecoin earnings into...
On the last day of 2025, while most traders were half watching fireworks and half pretending they were not checking charts, the quietest corner of the financial system started making a lot of noise.
Banks pulled a record amount of cash from the Federal Reserve’s SRF, about $74.6 billion, on December 31. That number matters because the Standing Repo Facility is the Fed’s pressure valve, banks swap...
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted about $1.29 billion in net outflows over the 12 sessions from Dec. 15 through Dec. 31.
The quiet holiday stretch became one of the cleaner stress tests yet for how “sticky” the category is when trading desks are thinly staffed, and portfolios are being squared before the calendar flips.
The moves were not evenly distributed. According to Farside, the period saw about...
The following is a guest post and opinion from Shane Neagle, Editor In Chief from The Tokenist.
Between the end of 2025 and up to July 2026, the European Union’s MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulation will go into full effect. Specifically, crypto exchanges, self-custody wallet providers, custodians, asset transfer providers, stablecoin issuers and portfolio managers will have to obtain...
A crypto trader, Vida, realized more than $1.5 million in gains after spotting an anomalous wall of buy orders on Binance for the little-known token BROCCOLI714 on New Year's Day.
Vida, who shared detailed logs of the trade on social media platform X, said they initially treated the move as a likely hacked account or market-making bug.
Due to this, he revealed that he traded around the anomaly in...
