Bitcoin defends $64K after U.S., Israel strikes on Iran as ETF flows return to center stageBitcoin traded through a weekend macro shock after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran sparked regional retaliation.The largest price swings occurred during low-liquidity hours, leaving spot BTC back near the mid-$64,000 area.The move reinforced a pattern that has become more visible in the ETF era: Bitcoin can function as a 24/7 pressure valve for macro risk.At the same time, the deepest marginal liquidity increasingly concentrates in weekday, regulated venues.That structural split is showing up in participation.Weekend activity has capitulated ever since spot Bitcoin ETFs joined…
Bitcoin is turning into multi-generational wealth, and a large share of holders still run it with a single point of failure. One accident, illness, or a stretch of incapacity can be the difference between inheriting generational wealth and losing everything.That’s the inheritance crisis the market will have to face.A recent report from the Gannett Trust framed 2026 as the moment early adopters start “buttoning up” succession. The stakes have grown significantly, but families often have zero interest in learning private key operations, and too many people have watched real losses happen when the only person who understood the setup disappeared.Bitcoin…
President Donald Trump has pulled the United States into military action against Iran, and the first consequence for crypto markets was another wave of selling rather than a rush into Bitcoin as a haven.According to CryptoSlate’s data, BTC price dumped around 7%, erasing some of its weeklong gains to trade as low as $63,000 before recovering slightly.This price action negates the popular argument that geopolitical turmoil should automatically favor Bitcoin because it exists outside the traditional financial system.In practice, the flagship crypto usually trades first as a volatile risk asset during a macro shock, especially when investors are already cautious,…
The US Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s emergency tariffs under IEEPA on Feb. 20, and markets immediately inherited a large cash flow question. The amount at stake was more than $175 billion in tariff collections that could be subject to refunds, with the Court offering no step-by-step plan for how refunds should be processed.The first clean market tell came from an asset that seems to exist far away from trade law. Bitcoin slid almost 5% and dipped to $64,000 as broader risk appetite cooled.The move matters because it fits a pattern that keeps repeating in 2026. When macro…
Since it’s pretty clear we’ve now seen this cycle’s bull market high, I’ve created an updated halving-cycle model built on four Bitcoin cycles.The model projects a cycle low near $35,000 in December 2026 after a 72.5% drawdown from a $126,219 cycle high.Inside the halving-cycle frameworkMy last model correctly marked both the 2021 and 2025 top timeframes. The new framework, “Akiba Cycle Model v2,” combines a 50,000-run Monte Carlo simulation with walk-forward validation and leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV).Bitcoin halving cycle price movementsIt breaks the cycle into three linked components: drawdown from a bull-market high to the subsequent cycle low, the number of…
A security flaw in a proposed XRP Ledger (XRPL) upgrade could have enabled unauthorized transactions, but researchers flagged the issue before it could reach the blockchain’s main network.The XRPL Foundation said Feb. 26 that the vulnerability was found in the proposed “Batch” amendment, a feature intended to let users bundle multiple actions into a single atomic transaction.Security researcher Pranamya Keshkamat and Cantina AI’s autonomous static-analysis tool, Apex, reported the issue Feb. 19, according to the foundation.If the amendment had been activated with the bug in place, an attacker could have executed inner transactions as if they were authorized by another…
Japan’s SBI Holdings will issue a ¥10 billion retail bond on March 24, but the story is the XRP perk dangled in front of buyers, conditional on opening an account at SBI VC Trade and completing receipt procedures by noon on May 11.Pricing drops on March 10, subscription runs from March 11-23, and secondary trading launches on March 25 on Osaka Digital Exchange’s START platform.The timeline shows SBI’s bond subscription window from March 11-23, 2026, with the XRP perk requiring account setup by May 11, 2026.The bond itself is a conventional three-year instrument. XRP is a marketing lever designed to…
Bitcoin’s rally is riding record $1.279 trillion margin debt, and the unwind could arrive without warningBitcoin’s next phase is being shaped by a record build in U.S. market leverage, recession-leaning survey data and an expanding Treasury buyback program that is aimed at bond-market plumbing rather than monetary easing.Those inputs show up across FINRA’s margin statistics, an Associated Press report on consumer confidence and the Treasury’s Feb. 4 quarterly refunding statement.A post from The Kobeissi Letter put the January jump in brokerage margin borrowing at about $53 billion.It framed the move as another step in a stretch of monthly increases and…
Google Cloud, MoneyGram, Vodafone’s Pairpoint, and eToro will run launch-phase nodes on Midnight, a zero-knowledge privacy network targeting a mainnet launch at the end of March 2026.The pitch isn’t anonymity, but selective disclosure. It’s the ability to prove compliance or settlement eligibility without broadcasting raw customer data onto a public ledger.Midnight’s Kūkolu mainnet launches at the end of March 2026 with federated operators, with a transition to broader decentralization planned but not yet scheduled.Midnight describes these operators as “federated,” meaning a limited, named set running the protocol under explicit coordination rules to prioritize uptime and operational stability during the Kūkolu…
