The Fed just leaked a bullish liquidity signal that suggests Bitcoin can front-run a 2026 recovery
On the last day of 2025, while most traders were half watching fireworks and half pretending they were not checking charts, the quietest corner of the financial system started making a lot of noise.Banks pulled a record amount of cash from the Federal Reserve’s SRF, about $74.6 billion, on December 31. That number matters because the Standing Repo Facility is the Fed’s pressure valve, banks swap high-quality collateral for overnight cash, and they usually tap it hardest when private funding markets get tight.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted about $1.29 billion in net outflows over the 12 sessions from Dec. 15 through Dec. 31.The quiet holiday stretch became one of the cleaner stress tests yet for how “sticky” the category is when trading desks are thinly staffed, and portfolios are being squared before the calendar flips.The moves were not evenly distributed. According to Farside, the period saw about $812 million in gross inflows across just two positive days, Dec. 17 and Dec. 30, versus about $2.10 billion in gross outflows across the rest of the window.Bitcoin flows (Source: Farside)The tape read like a…
Stablecoins, Base and ‘everything exchange’: a look inside Coinbase’s strategy to expand in 2026
Stablecoins and the Base network sit at the core of its plans through 2026. The strategy places Coinbase closer to retail brokerages and derivatives platforms. Security and support concerns remain a constraint as the platform broadens. Coinbase is entering 2026 with a platform that looks increasingly different from a traditional crypto exchange. The company is placing greater emphasis on stablecoins, its Ethereum layer-2 network Base, and a wider range of trading products that stretch well beyond digital tokens. The shift reflects how crypto platforms are adapting as growth in spot trading cools and competition intensifies. Rather than positioning itself only…
More than $107,000 in total losses have already been identified through on-chain analysis. No specific wallet provider or exploit vector has yet been confirmed by investigators.

The warning, shared by blockchain investigator ZachXBT, points to a coordinated wallet-draining operation that has already resulted in more than $107,000 in cumulative losses.

Guest Contributor Shane Neagle Editor In Chief • The Tokenist Between the end of 2025 and up to July 2026, the European Union’s MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulation will go into full effect. Specifically, crypto exchanges, self-custody wallet providers, custodians, asset transfer providers, stablecoin issuers and portfolio managers will have to obtain formal authorization to continue operating.Notably, out of the 27 EU member states, only Poland is delaying the national implementation of this strict crypto framework. Polish President Karol Nawrocki vetoed the MiCA-compliant bill this month because it would “threaten the freedoms of Poles, their property and the stability of…
Vitalik Buterin warned that Ethereum must shift focus from chasing market trends like memecoins to fulfilling its original vision as a decentralised “world computer.” He celebrated 2025 technical gains but argued the network must now pass a “walkaway test” where apps keep running even if their creators disappear. To achieve global scale, Buterin called for a simultaneous push for usability and true decentralisation at both the blockchain infrastructure and application layers in 2026. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said Ethereum’s (ETH) biggest challenge is no longer just shipping upgrades but proving it can deliver on its original goal: a global platform…
