Former Labour minister Rushanara Ali has called for cryptocurrency donations to be banned in British politics, warning they pose a serious risk of foreign interference.  She argued that crypto can be used to evade transparency rules and she planned to intervene when the UK elections bill comes back in front of MPs this week. Ali joins a growing number of Labour backbenchers who want crypto donations outlawed in the new legislation, until oversight of technologies like crypto and AI are possible. UK Labour MP Rushanara Ali has called for a complete ban on political donations via cryptocurrencies to prevent foreign…

Ethereum is approaching a milestone that few investors would welcome: its longest run of consecutive monthly losses since the 2018 crypto winter.Since September 2025, ETH has posted six straight monthly declines, a stretch that has cut its price by roughly 60% from its August 2025 record high of $4,953 to below $2,000.A losing streak of this length is uncommon for a network that is simultaneously posting record transaction activity, and that contrast makes the current phase notable.Ethereum Monthly Returns Since January 2025 Till Date (Source: CoinGlass)As a result, the immediate issue is not only that ETH has been falling.The run…

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is starting to look like a financial back end that traditional finance can adopt without changing itself too much.This is because tokenized funds can sit on the ledger, and stablecoins can move across it. At the same time, protocol upgrades keep landing, including features designed for institutions that want on-chain settlement without open access to every counterparty.However, the awkward part for XRP holders is that a thriving XRPL does not automatically translate into proportional demand for XRP.That is the real story in 2026. XRPL can generate significant economic activity, while XRP captures only a thin utility…

Revolut is preparing to trial a pound-backed stablecoin inside a regulated stablecoin sandbox in the UK, with testing expected within the current quarter. While this might look like another fintech pilot in the long history of crypto payment tests, the more interesting part sits upstream of the token itself.Revolut has what most stablecoin projects spend years trying to build: distribution inside ordinary money habits. Over 12 million users in the UK open the app daily to check balances, move funds, split bills, pay subscriptions, exchange currencies, and send money across borders.A stablecoin placed inside that flow and that big of…

Bitcoin price opened US trading session strongly with a 3% surge above $68,000, according to CryptoSlate’s data.This marked a significant difference to its first response, which looked nothing like a clean safe-haven trade following the latest Middle East tensions.When headlines hit over the weekend about US strikes on Iran, the flagship digital asset fell below $64,000 before stabilizing, behaving less like digital gold than a liquid, around-the-clock risk asset.Gold moved the other way, rising toward $5,376 an ounce as investors sought traditional protection.In foreign exchange, the Swiss franc and Japanese yen strengthened, while the dollar also firmed, a familiar sign…

Bitcoin rises over 6% on the U.S. open as CME premium spikes, and liquidations don’t explain itBitcoin jumped over 6% to threaten $70,000 during Monday’s U.S. market open even as the broader macro environment appears risk-off..Oil ripped higher on Middle East escalation risk, equities opened sharply lower, and the dollar held firm.That mix usually pressures high-beta assets.But BTC pushed higher anyway, and the standard crypto reflex, “shorts got squeezed,” doesn’t fit the numbers.Coinglass liquidation data over the past 24 hours showed roughly $423 million in total liquidations, split almost evenly. About $221 million was in longs versus about $203 million…

When markets are closed and Bitcoin is moving, the custody agreement decides who can act.A spot Bitcoin ETF fixed an awkward problem for finance. Bitcoin used to arrive as software, keys, and operational responsibility. The ETF repackaged it as a ticker that sits next to every other ticker.That convenience came with a structural trade. Most ETF buyers get exposure while someone else holds authority. Gannett Trust frames that as a deliberate choice between convenience and control, rooted in something Bitcoin makes explicit.Ownership sits in keys and authorization, not in a statement that says you have economic exposure. Traditional markets blur…

U.S. M2 hit a record $22.4T in January, why Bitcoin hasn’t followed, and what could change nextU.S. broad money supply (M2) reached a record $22.442 trillion in January 2026.That put M2 up $922.4 billion (+4.29%) from January 2025, setting a new high for a metric that often anchors “liquidity up, risk up” narratives.M2 Money Supply (Source: FRED)Unlike during the bull market, Bitcoin has not delivered a clean “M2 = up” response since August 2025.Either liquidity transmission is delayed, it is being diverted through new plumbing (spot ETFs and stablecoins), or it is being dominated by other forces, including real yields,…
