Make CryptoSlate preferred on The world’s central banks stopped arguing about whether stablecoins are risky long ago. Their main concern now is about who will control them and how.On April 20, BIS General Manager Pablo Hernandez de Cos called for global cooperation on stablecoins, describing it as “critically important.”The Bank for International Settlements, often called the central bankers’ central bank, has raised concerns about stablecoins before, but the language they’ve used is much sharper now. De Cos warned about runs that could trigger market stress, about dollar-pegged tokens accelerating the dollarization of developing economies, and about fragmented regulatory frameworks that private firms…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Crypto market liquidity is increasingly hyper-concentrating within a handful of massive trading venues, creating a market structure that global central bank researchers warn is evolving into a heavily leveraged “shadow crypto financial system.”Data from CryptoQuant shows that Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, cleared over $1 trillion in trading volume during the first 112 days of 2026.This is significantly higher than the total of rival platforms like MEXC, which stood at about $284.9 billion; Bybit at $242.3 billion; Crypto.com at $219.9 billion; Coinbase at $209.3 billion; and OKX at $195.2 billion.Crypto Exchanges Trading Volume in 2026 (Source:…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on UK authorities have carried out their first coordinated operation against suspected illegal peer-to-peer crypto trading, sending a clear and simple message to the market: once a person turns crypto dealing into a business, the state expects names, checks, records, and accountability.The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said it worked with police and tax officials to visit eight London addresses linked to suspected illegal p2p crypto trading, issuing cease-and-desist letters at each site. Evidence gathered during the inspections is now supporting criminal investigations, according to the regulator, while Reuters reported that there are currently no FCA-registered peer-to-peer crypto…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on On Apr. 24, Project Eleven awarded its Q-Day Prize to Giancarlo Lelli, a researcher who used publicly accessible quantum hardware to derive a 15-bit elliptic curve private key from its public key.This is the largest public demonstration to date of the attack class that could one day threaten Bitcoin, Ethereum, and every other system secured by elliptic curve cryptography. The prize was one Bitcoin.The irony is that a researcher won Bitcoin by breaking a miniature version of the math that protects Bitcoin.A 15-bit key is nowhere near the security of Bitcoin’s 256-bit elliptic curve, and no…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Ethereum traders are rebuilding bullish exposure to the second-largest cryptocurrency, with derivatives markets showing renewed demand for upside bets.According to CryptoSlate’s data, ETH has gained about 11% this month on the back of a four-week stretch of gains, its longest in nearly a year.This uptrend pushed ETH to around $2330, its highest price level since February, and puts it on course for its first back-to-back monthly advance since July and August 2025.Ethereum Price Monthly Returns Since January 2025 -April 2026 (Source: CoinGlass)As a result, ETH’s price performance has shifted the market attention back to the $3,000…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Bitcoin held near $78,000 on Friday as oil prices climbed past $100 a barrel, testing whether the largest digital asset can sustain its April rebound while the US-Iran conflict keeps energy markets on edge.The move came after President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric over the Strait of Hormuz, saying the US Navy controlled the waterway and that no ship could enter or leave without American approval.The comments reinforced fears that the conflict, now centered on maritime leverage rather than direct strikes, could keep one of the world’s most important energy routes shut for longer.Brent crude rose…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on I believe the hardest question for DeFi in 2026 is whether the original dream is still alive.The collective bargain was simple. Users would hold their own keys. Code would execute the rules. Markets would stay open. Ledgers would be visible.Intermediaries would lose power because financial services could run on public smart contracts rather than private balance sheets.That framing explains why decentralized finance grew so quickly after 2020. It also explains why the current moment feels so deflating.I’d like to preface this piece by saying that I believe decentralized finance is an essential part of the world…

CoinNews photo shows a 2026 Australian Kookaburra 1 oz silver bullion coin The Perth Mint reported softer bullion sales in March after February’s surge, though both gold and silver remained well above year-ago levels and first-quarter totals showed strong gains. Neil Vance, the Perth Mint’s general manager of minted products, attributed the March result to shifting market conditions. “While minted product sales eased in March following a particularly strong February, this reflects the impact of short-term market movements rather than any shift in underlying demand,” Vance said. “Over both the three- and twelve-month periods, sales remain significantly higher, demonstrating the…

SoFi added XRP deposit support to its crypto platform on April 21, expanding its digital-asset offering. SoFi support materials say users cannot currently withdraw crypto to external wallets. The bank charges a 1% fee on crypto buy and sell orders and no fee to receive crypto deposits.
