BNY CEO Robin Vince told the Digital Asset Summit in New York that major financial institutions will drive the next stage of crypto adoption by bridging traditional and digital finance. Vince identified tokenisation of loans and real estate as near-term catalysts, noting BNY launched tokenised deposits in January 2026 with ICE, Citadel Securities, and Circle among early adopters. He warned that without regulatory clarity, 90% of the financial services community will refuse to participate, describing adoption as a “5, 10, 15 year journey.” BNY Mellon chief executive Robin Vince said the next phase of crypto adoption will come through large…

How Bitcoin evolved from ‘safe haven’ to become the market’s real-time geopolitical risk indicator
Bitcoin is starting to trade like the market’s real-time geopolitical switchAfter Bitcoin moved back above $70,000, following President Trump’s five-day delay of planned strikes on Iranian infrastructure, the useful question is whether Bitcoin is now functioning as one of the fastest live markets for repricing geopolitical risk.The evidence increasingly supports this interpretation. Bitcoin is no longer reacting only to macro in the conventional sense. It is increasingly reacting to single geopolitical developments that reprice the macro path itself.Threat escalation produced a sharp selloff. De-escalation produced an immediate rally. The pattern carries more weight than any individual move.It suggests Bitcoin is starting to…

BlackRock’s 2026 chairman’s letter positions the digital wallet as asset management’s next major distribution frontier.In the letter, Larry Fink writes that “today, there’s very little access to traditional investment products in digital wallets” and that BlackRock plans to “lead the charge” in changing that.Numbers back the statement: BlackRock says it already has nearly $150 billion in AUM linked to digital assets, including $65 billion in stablecoin reserves and nearly $80 billion in digital asset ETPs.Fink describes wallets as an underbuilt distribution channel for mainstream investing, one where BlackRock sees a structural gap and plans to move.His vision is that a…

Power struggle hits Bitcoin network over anti-spam proposal with claims of ‘faked’ node support
A new chart from Jameson Lopp has reopened one of Bitcoin’s oldest internal debates: whether visible node counts reflect real support for a rule change.The immediate flashpoint is BIP-110, a draft proposal that would temporarily impose much tighter consensus-level limits on non-monetary data, following Bitcoin Core 30’s loosening of the default OP_RETURN policy.Lopp says the node surge behind it may be Sybil-inflated (i.e., artificially boosted by a single actor running many nodes to simulate broader support).SignalWhat it can showWhat it cannot provePublic reachable node countVisible distribution of software on the networkReal economic support for a rule changeNon-listening / private nodesBroader…

It comes after passing a bill last year protecting residents’ right to use crypto wallets.The vehicle is HB 380, a consumer-protection measure aimed at cryptocurrency kiosks. Its core provisions are substantive: a $2,000 daily transaction cap, a $10,500 limit on new-user accounts, a 72-hour cancellation window, fee caps, mandatory scam warnings, and defined refund rights for fraud victims.The FBI’s 2024 Internet Crime Complaint Center report documented 10,956 complaints tied to crypto kiosks, resulting in…
