The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, better known as the CLARITY Act, was supposed to draw clean lines around crypto assets and which regulator gets the first call.
CryptoSlate has already walked readers through the bill’s larger architecture ahead of the January markup, including what changed, what stayed unresolved, and why jurisdiction and state preemption may matter as much as the headline...
When Solana maintainers told validators to move quickly on Agave v3.0.14, the message arrived with more urgency than detail.
The Solana Status account called the release “urgent” and said it contained a “critical set of patches” for Mainnet Beta validators.
Within a day, the public conversation drifted toward a harder question: if a proof-of-stake network needs a fast coordinated upgrade, what...
Institutions have learned to live with Bitcoin’s volatility because volatility is measurable and, for many strategies, manageable. What still holds back large allocations is the risk of moving the market while getting in or out.
A fund can hedge price swings with options or futures, but it can't hedge the cost of pushing through a thin order book, widening spreads, and turning a rebalance into...
Makina Finance lost 1,299 ETH, roughly $4.13 million, in a flash-loan and oracle manipulation exploit.
The attacker drained the protocol's funds and broadcast the transaction to Ethereum's public mempool, where it should have been picked up by validators and included in the next block.
Instead, an MEV builder identified by the address 0xa6c2 front-ran the draining transaction, redirecting most of...
Senate Agriculture Committee Chair John Boozman on Jan. 21 released updated text for a crypto market structure bill and set a committee markup for Jan. 27.
The draft bill, titled the “Digital Commodity Intermediaries Act,” would give the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) a defined framework to supervise parts of the spot crypto market when activity runs through brokers, dealers,...
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released its delayed Personal Income and Outlays report on Jan. 22, publishing October and November PCE inflation together.
The print put headline PCE at 0.2% month over month in both months, with headline PCE at 2.7% year over year in October and 2.8% in November. Core PCE was also 0.2% month over month in both months, with core PCE at 2.7% year over year in...
The following is a guest post and opinion from Artemiy Parshakov, VP of Institutions at P2P.org.
How the Institutional View of Self-Custody Is Changing
For years, institutional participants largely equated self-custody with retail risk. Managing private keys, interacting directly with protocols, and relying on personal hardware were viewed as practices better suited to individual users than...
Crypto's IPO market is back, but the companies leading the charge aren't the ones most exposed to token volatility.
BitGo priced its initial public offering on Jan. 21 at $18 per share, raising $212.8 million and valuing the custody platform at $2.08 billion. Shares opened the next day at $22.43, a 24.6% jump that pushed the implied valuation to $2.59 billion.
Within 24 hours, two more security-...
Bitcoin’s recent price action had a familiar signature: leverage built on the bounce, funding turned supportive for longs, then the market ran the nearest pockets of fragility until forced selling took over.
BTC bouncing up and down in the $80,000 range is a result of futures positioning. Data showed roughly $794 million in Bitcoin long liquidations this week as it touched ~$87,800, with...
If you have ever landed in London, opened your banking app, and felt that tiny jolt of disbelief, you are not alone.
One pound shows up as more than one dollar, again, and it feels wrong in the same way a meme coin with eight decimals feels wrong. The U.S. is bigger, the dollar runs the pipes of global finance, half the world prices stuff in USD, so why does a single unit of GBP still “cost” more...
