India’s Financial Intelligence Unit has tightened the checks crypto exchanges must run before letting users open accounts, adding “live” identity tests and location tracking to standard KYC.

Bitcoin opened the year trading like it usually does when macro uncertainty rises: it moved with the tide of rates, the dollar, and risk appetite, even as investors tried to pin a more specific narrative on top.However, this week the narrative shifted from “what will the central bank do?” to “can the central bank still do it without coercion?”That shift followed a sharp escalation in the clash between President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.Powell said the Justice Department served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas and threatened him with criminal indictment over his congressional testimony on…

Bitcoin’s four-year cycle used to be a comfort blanket. Even people who claimed they didn’t believe in it still traded as they did.The halving would cut new supply, the market would spend months pretending nothing happened, then liquidity would show up, leverage would follow, retail would rediscover its password, and the chart would start a new race to a new all-time high.21Shares lays out the “old playbook” in blunt numbers: 2012’s run from about $12 to $1,150 and an 85% drawdown, 2016’s move from about $650 to $20,000 and an 80% drawdown, 2020’s climb from about $8,700 to $69,000 and…

Stablecoins now account for the majority of illicit crypto activity tracked by Chainalysis. Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, froze more than $180 million worth of USDT within 24 hours, underscoring the growing role of centralized control and law-enforcement coordination in the stablecoin market.

Spot XRP ETFs have attracted $1.2 billion in net inflows since November 2025, recording positive growth on nearly every trading day despite heavy outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum funds. Institutional interest is being driven by Ripple’s $500 million raise, new partnerships with Mastercard and Gemini, and the potential passage of the Clarity Act to formalise crypto regulation. Skeptics remain cautious, noting that XRP lacks significant “builder mindshare” among developers and questioning whether ETF buyers will view the token as a viable long-term core holding. XRP exchange-traded funds have taken in about US$1.2 billion (AU$1.84 billion) since launching in mid-November 2025.…
