A privacy coin is headed for Wall Street, and the wrapper says everything about what happens when a technology built for discretion tries to move through the most surveilled pipes in global finance.
Grayscale’s bid to list a Zcash ETF on NYSE Arca (ticker ZCSH) marks the first serious attempt to wrap a privacy coin in the fully documented world of ETF filings, approved custodians, sanctions...
A new staff report released by House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin alleges that President Donald Trump has significantly utilized the presidency to expand his personal wealth through cryptocurrency ventures.
The report, titled Trump, Crypto, and a New Age of Corruption, outlines a series of findings suggesting that the Administration’s policy decisions, including the dismantling...
From net flows to perp funding, the metrics that explain this bull cycle better than “number go up.” Bitcoin (BTC) price movements are now being pulled by off-chain flows and leverage, not just by classic on-chain signals.
Since January 2024, when US spot Bitcoin ETFs launched, the variables that explain why BTC rips or dumps have quietly reshuffled. On-chain metrics now describe how tight the...
The crypto landscape in 2025 looks nothing like the manic ICO days of 2017 or the “DeFi summer” of 2020. Volumes are deeper, spreads are tighter, and regulatory lines, while still blurry, are finally being drawn. Research indicates that execution quality is improving, with improved order‑book depth and tighter spreads in major markets. Yet one debate keeps resurfacing in trading rooms and...
For two centuries, factories chased cheap hands and dense ports. Today, miners roll into windy plateaus and hydro spillways, asking a simpler question: where are the cheapest wasted watts?
When computing can move to energy rather than energy to people, the map tilts.
Heavy industry has always chased cheap energy, but it still needed bodies and ships. The novelty with Bitcoin (BTC) is how...
On Nov. 26, Nasdaq’s International Securities Exchange quietly triggered one of the most important developments in Bitcoin’s financial integration.
The trading platform asked the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to raise the position limit on BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) options from 250,000 contracts to one million.
On the surface, the proposal looks procedural. In reality...
As of mid-afternoon South Korea time, Solana-based tokens traded with double-digit gains on Upbit following a hack that stole roughly 44.5 billion won ($32 million).
CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju noted that Korean traders began bidding up altcoin prices as arbitrage bots, which normally keep Korean and international prices aligned, stopped operating.
The service suspension created an immediate...
The US Securities and Exchange Commission approved spot Bitcoin ETFs at block 826,565. By block 840,000, those funds held more than 800,000 BTC. By block 925,421, U.S. spot ETFs collectively held **≈5–6%** of circulating BTC (per live trackers at the time).
Only after reading does the translation arrive: those blocks correspond to January 2024, April 2024, and Nov. 27, 2025. The story makes sense...
The crypto markets staged a convincing comeback on Nov. 27, snapping a prolonged period of stagnation as a critical shift in the United States’ liquidity forced capital back into risk assets.
While the headline price action saw Bitcoin surge 5% to reclaim the psychologically vital $90,000 threshold and Ethereum clear $3,000 for the first time in a week, the true story lies in the fact that the...
Bitcoin’s hashrate is near record levels, yet miner revenue per unit of compute has fallen to record lows, pushing the network into a ‘high-security, low-profitability’ phase.
While the network’s hashrate has pinned itself above the one-zettahash watermark, which is a record for aggregate computing power, the revenue underpinning that security has disintegrated to historic lows.
Still, the system...
