Christopher Harborne is British-born, Cambridge-educated, and has lived in Thailand since 1996. He goes by the Thai name Chakrit Sakunkrit, holds Thai citizenship, and controls a reported 12% stake in Tether, the stablecoin issuer behind roughly $184 billion in circulating USDT. According to the Guardian’s investigation, he’s also the single largest donor in the history of UK party politics, having directed more than £24 million toward Reform UK and its predecessor movements since 2019. So, a man who doesn’t live in the UK, whose fortune is tied to a global crypto infrastructure company operating outside any single jurisdiction, has been…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on XRPL currently holds about $3.6 billion in real-world assets, excluding stablecoins, split roughly between $1 billion in distributed assets and $2.6 billion in represented assets.That 71% tilt toward represented assets means XRPL’s RWA growth is concentrated in a model in which blockchain serves as a record-keeping and reconciliation layer, with tokens anchored to real-world contracts and commitments held within controlled platform structures.RWA.xyz defines distributed assets as tokenized assets that can be moved off the issuing platform and transferred peer-to-peer. Represented assets stay inside the issuing platform, with blockchain recording and reconciling claims tied to real-world assets.Most…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Global equity funds pulled in over $15 billion in the week through Apr. 1, then $23.47 billion, $31.26 billion, and finally $48.72 billion in the week through Apr. 22.Global money-market funds simultaneously bled a $173.24 billion outflow in the week through Apr. 15, the biggest single-week exit from cash since at least September 2018.Together, the figures create a roughly $292 billion risk-on signal, combining $118 billion of global equity fund inflows across four weeks with a separate $173 billion weekly exit from cash.Coinbase and Glassnode’s Q2 Institutional Outlook puts BTC’s daily return correlation with the S&P…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on XRP’s estimated leverage ratio has flattened at low levels, while price has held near $1.39, with a market cap of $85.7 billion and roughly $1.75 billion in daily volume.CryptoQuant analyst PelinayPA flagged that traders reduced speculative exposure, and the price didn’t follow them down. When leverage runs hot into a rally, crowded longs introduce fragility, and the unwind tends to mirror the move.CoinGlass puts XRP open interest at roughly $2.48 billion, sizable and distributed across a market that has shed the crowded positioning that dominated earlier rallies, meaning a fresh positioning that can return to a…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on The country that gave the world its first crypto ATMs is now preparing to eliminate them entirely. In April 2013, a Vancouver coffee shop installed what would become crypto’s most recognizable retail footprint, a machine that let ordinary people convert cash into Bitcoin without a bank account, a broker, or much friction at all.Thirteen years later, Canada has nearly 4,000 of these machines operating across the country, the highest concentration per capita in the world. And the federal government’s Spring Economic Update 2026 has proposed banning them outright.The proposal didn’t come out of the blue. Canadians…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Japan reportedly stepped into the currency market with roughly $35 billion of yen buying, sending the dollar down nearly 3% to 155.5.Bank of Japan (BOJ) money-market data imply that size is accurate. Once the Ministry of Finance’s monthly release confirms it, this would rank as Japan’s first official yen-support action in almost two years and the second-largest on record.The BOJ’s own April outlook projects CPI excluding fresh food at 2.5% to 3.0% in fiscal 2026, and economists expect inflation to re-accelerate as oil and yen weakness amplify import costs.The numbers show that 95% of Japan’s crude…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on After Circle and Bullish delivered blockbuster listings in 2025, crypto exchanges rushed toward public markets with a familiar promise: the industry is finally mature enough for Wall Street. However, the latest research from Kaiko shows that it’s not as simple as that.The crypto exchange IPO wave was supposed to prove that the crypto industry had graduated from speculative boomtown to legitimate financial infrastructure. These companies hired Wall Street bankers, appointed compliance chiefs, and refined their pitch decks to emphasize regulated platforms, recurring institutional flows, and revenue streams diversified enough to survive a bear market.But Kaiko’s analysis…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Stablecoin issuers spent years asking Washington for clear rules, and now those rules are becoming the industry’s biggest barrier to entry.The GENIUS Act gave dollar-backed tokens something crypto had wanted since stablecoins became a serious part of the market: a legal home in the US. It defined payment stablecoins, set reserve expectations, created a federal framework for issuers, and moved the sector out of the gray zone that shaped much of its early growth.That was an undisputed victory for an industry used to enforcement risk, state-by-state licensing, offshore structures, and years of policy drift. But once…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Bitcoin headed into the Federal Reserve’s rate decision this week after failing to cleanly reclaim $80,000, with the institutional bid that fueled its April recovery now visibly softening.Spot ETF flows have been volatile, the price is sitting below the on-chain levels that define whether recent buyers are profitable, and Jerome Powell’s press conference was most likely his final one as Fed chair.Taken together, those variables make the current zone considerably more consequential than ordinary pre- and post-FOMC consolidation.The April recovery was well-supported for most of the month. Spot Bitcoin ETF total inflows reached $2.43 billion, supporting…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on U.S. public debt has crossed the size of the U.S. economy on a calculation from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, giving Bitcoin’s hard-money case a live fiscal benchmark as investors weigh scarce assets against Washington’s debt path.CRFB said debt held by the public reached $31.27 trillion at the end of the first quarter of 2026, compared with $31.22 trillion of trailing 12-month nominal GDP. That puts the ratio at 100.2%, using the Bureau of Economic Analysis advance estimate for first-quarter output.For Bitcoin, the threshold turns an abstract scarcity argument into a current macro question:…
