On paper, the U.S. national debt is a number so big it stops feeling real. Trillions do that to your brain.
So let’s bring it back down to human size for a second.
If you spread today’s federal debt across U.S. households, you land at roughly $285,000 per household, depending on the day you do the math.
The number moves around with Treasury cash management. The estimate uses the government’s own...
Bitcoin has stormed into 2026 by rising to its highest level in over a month after climbing above $94,000 on Jan. 5, signaling a potential end to the stagnation that plagued the crypto market in late 2025.
This rally marks a decisive shift in sentiment, given that the flagship digital asset closed the previous year with a whimper while equities reached record highs.
However, that trend appears...
On Monday, January 5, something small on paper becomes huge in practice, the moment a mainstream American wealth adviser can finally say the quiet part out loud.
Bank of America’s wealth platforms, Merrill, Bank of America Private Bank, and Merrill Edge, are set to let advisers recommend crypto exchange-traded products, with an internal view that a “modest” 1% to 4% allocation can make sense for...
Ethereum was not created to make finance efficient or apps convenient. It was designed to set people free.
That line from the Trustless Manifesto drew criticism when it was published, and Vitalik Buterin repeated it on Jan. 5.
The argument: Ethereum's mission differs fundamentally from the efficiency game DeFi protocols compete in. The goal is not 4.5% yield versus 5.3%, not reducing latency from...
Tokyo bond traders have a new number burned into their screens this week, 3.5%.
For most of the past two decades, Japan’s long end was the place the world went to forget about interest rates. If you were a pension fund trying to match liabilities, a bank trying to park liquidity, or a global macro desk hunting cheap funding, Japanese government bonds were the quiet corner of the room.
That corner...
Bitcoin feels like a room full of people holding their breath.
On paper, the ingredients are there. Spot ETFs are pulling attention back to Bitcoin, big daily flow numbers are again hitting the tape, and macro risk appetite is alive.
Yet the chart looks like it is waiting for permission.
Bitcoin was around $93,822 on Jan. 6, and the candles have had that “quiet but tense” look that drives...
Ledger customers woke up on Jan. 5 to an email no one wants to see: their names and contact information had been exposed through a breach at Global-e, a third-party payment processor.
The company clarified what hadn't been compromised: no payment cards, no passwords, and critically, no 24-word recovery phrases. The hardware remained untouched, the firmware secure, the seed storage intact.
For a...
Bitcoin (BTC) pierced $94,000 on Jan. 5, reaching its highest level since Dec. 10 and capping a rally that added nearly $100 billion to the total crypto market capitalization in 24 hours.
The move came as spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their strongest inflows in three months, derivatives positioning turned aggressively bullish, and macro conditions created space for risk assets to rebound into the...
After a year of steady decline, the “memecoin dominance” ratio, a key metric tracking the sector's share of the total altcoin market, has abruptly reversed course from historic lows.
This came as the total capitalization of meme assets reclaimed the $50 billion mark and tokens such as PEPE, BONK, and FLOKI posted outsized double-digit gains to start the year.
The surge is forcing institutional...
For years, the institutional playbook for the crypto industry was simple: buy Bitcoin, perhaps dabble in Ethereum, and ignore the rest.
In 2025, that playbook was rewritten.
While Bitcoin retained its crown as the largest asset by total volume, the real story of the year was a dramatic structural shift in where new capital chose to go.
According to year-end data from CoinShares, the era of “...
