In the latest SlateCast, Liam “Akiba” Wright and Nate Whitehill sat down with Maximiliano Stochyk Duarte to unpack what makes token launches succeed as the market heads into 2026.

That age-band inversion means newer buyers hold a better...

Natural gas prices surged 17.76% on Jan. 19, driven by cold forecasts across Northeast Asia and Europe, tightening liquidity in global LNG markets, and short-covering in European storage inventories sitting 15% points below the five-year average.
For most crypto traders, a weather-driven commodity spike registers as irrelevant noise. Something for energy desks to manage, not Bitcoin portfolios....
Bitcoin could emerge as a long-term winner if global authorities confirm the existence of non-human intelligence, even if the immediate fallout triggers a severe financial shock.
Over the weekend, reports emerged that Helen McCaw, a former senior analyst at the Bank of England, urged Governor Andrew Bailey to consider contingency planning for a scenario in which the US government, or another...
