Earlier this month, the US began intercepting and seizing tankers carrying Venezuelan crude, with a first seizure reported around Dec. 10 and a second interception by Dec. 20.By Dec. 22, US officials said a third vessel was being pursued near Venezuelan waters.Caracas responded with an emergency law imposing prison terms of up to 20 years for anyone who promotes or finances blockades or similar disruptions to maritime commerce.With onshore storage nearing capacity, PDVSA shifted to floating storage (loading crude onto tankers and anchoring them offshore), while some ships made U-turns and loadings slowed.That’s the scene as of this week: oil…

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is ending the year with major technological developments after a year that saw it gain significant adoption and milestones.On Dec. 24, Denis Angell, a lead software engineer at XRPL Labs, announced the integration of “post-quantum” cryptography and native smart contracts into AlphaNet, the project’s public developer network.The ‘Q-Day’ inevitabilityMost blockchain networks, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, secure user funds using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC).This math works because current computers find it impossibly difficult to reverse the calculation and derive a private key from a public one. However, this security model relies on the limitations of classical physics.Quantum…

Silver left the $50 range in late November and went parabolic into year-end, registering consecutive all-time highs and hitting $72 an ounce on Dec. 24. Gold made a similar run throughout 2025, reaching $4,524.30 the same day.Bitcoin, however, traded at $87,498.12 as of press time, down roughly 8% for the year and 30% from its October peak of $126,000.For anyone who spent 2024 calling Bitcoin “digital gold” and expecting it to ride the same hard asset wave as precious metals, 2025 delivered an uncomfortable lesson: the macro currents that lift gold and silver don’t automatically carry crypto along for the…

The year opened with a sitting president launching his own token three days before inauguration and closed with researchers proving that one of the year’s “comeback stories” was controlled by a few dozen wallets.Between those bookends, 2025 turned memecoins from niche absurdity into crypto’s most visible, and most embarrassing, corner. A sovereign leader rugpulled his citizens on Valentine’s Day, an AI chatbot’s fart jokes spawned a billion-dollar token, Dogecoin got two regulated ETFs, and the platform that minted 9.4 million tokens became the year’s de facto casino.What made these ten tokens iconic wasn’t quality or innovation, but their capacity to…

Crypto sentiment gauges have spent the past two months deep in the red. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has spent more than 30% of 2025 in fear or extreme fear territory, and alternative trackers put the market in a 10-25 range out of 100 since mid-November.Bitcoin is on track for its worst fourth quarter since 2018, many large altcoins are down up to 90% from their highs, and gold, silver, and major stock indices pushed to new highs in the same period.The mood is poisonous. Investors got all of the macro, the policy, the structural wins they’d been lobbying…

This year opened with Bitcoin (BTC) proponents expecting a clean rally, driven by halving narratives, spot ETF momentum, and a Fed pivot all stacked neatly in their favor.Instead, the year closed with BTC stuck 30% below its October peak, North Korean hackers walking away with $2 billion, and the US government quietly building a digital Fort Knox out of seized coins.Between those bookends, crypto stopped being a speculative sideshow and started behaving like contested infrastructure: banks chartered stablecoin subsidiaries, Ethereum executed two hard forks that cut rollup fees in half, and Congress passed the first federal stablecoin law.Additionally, regulators in…

2025 delivered a brutal lesson in market structure for Bitcoin. The year began with political momentum and drifted into a summer of aggressive policy signals.Yet, it snapped into one of the sharpest boom-to-bust sequences in the asset’s history.By December, the price had round-tripped, leaving the asset flat for the year. But the flat chart masked a violent transformation underneath.While Wall Street banks finally opened their doors and ETFs vacuumed up record capital, the network’s physical infrastructure faced a solvency crisis.CryptoSlate has compiled some of the major trends that defined the market in 2025 below:Bitcoin Reserve racePresident Trump moved from election…
