Like fashion, investing eventually finds something embarrassing in the back of the wardrobe and puts it on again. Millennial-era crypto gave us yield-bearing dog coins and all kinds of food-themed financial contraptions. Now Gen Z has entered the market in JNCO jeans, carrying an ironic digicam and, in at least one corner of the market, displaying a positively parental interest in conventional investments.The jeans are super low again, and apparently their tolerance for portfolio risk is, too.Binance Research’s Aug. 12 report looked at how different generations use the exchange’s direct equities, tokenized bStocks, and TradFi perpetuals. The youngest users weren’t…
Washington came surprisingly close this week to writing a dollar amount into one of its thorniest crypto ethics rule debates.Under the final Senate draft of the CLARITY Act, senior federal officials holding equity worth at least $15,000 in certain businesses that issue or sponsor digital assets would have had to sell that interest or place it into a qualified blind trust. Their spouses would have faced the same restriction, but their adult children wouldn’t.The bill failed to advance on Sept. 15, so none of this became law. But the language is revealing because CLARITY was primarily supposed to establish who…
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds drew $433 million of net inflows on Friday, Sept. 18, according to Farside Investors. The session extended the market’s rebound to a second day, but it did not fully repair the withdrawals recorded earlier in the week.In the Farside data, Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, or FBTC, supplied $310.7 million on Friday. That was nearly 2.9 times the $108.4 million added by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, known as IBIT. Bitwise’s BITB, ARK 21Shares’ ARKB and VanEck’s HODL also posted smaller positive flows, giving the session more than one meaningful source of demand.The issuer split marked…

If everything is working properly, absolutely nothing should happen to its price, so there is not much room for a victory parade.And yet Circle, the company behind USDC, has decided that this extremely uneventful financial product belongs on the front of one of the most famous shirts in football. Circle announced the deal on Aug. 28. Circle and USDC branding will appear as Chelsea’s principal front-of-shirt sponsor across the men’s, women’s, and academy teams…

For anyone worried that AI would eliminate every profession except the one sending messages about your frozen crypto account, there’s unwelcome news for that last bastion of human enterprise. Fraud has found an automation budget.Scamming has always required a surprising amount of manual labor. Romance scams need someone to keep a conversation going for weeks, investment fraud needs someone to answer questions and maintain a believable identity, and impersonation scams need someone to keep the act together long enough to transfer money. AI can now do more of that work, meaning the same criminal operation can reach far more people…

President Donald Trump’s new Russia sanctions law gives Bitcoin traders another macro deadline to watch: Oct. 18.On Sept. 18, Trump signed H.R. 5334, starting a 30-day clock for his administration to determine tariffs that could disrupt Russian energy trade and potentially feed into inflation, Treasury yields, and the dollar. Those channels matter for Bitcoin because tighter financial conditions have historically weighed on crypto markets.The law requires the president to raise duties on all Russian goods imported into the US, including oil, natural gas, and petroleum products, by up to 500%. The figure is a ceiling rather than a mandated rate,…
A new report from OKX and Token Terminal says real-world-asset (RWA) futures on trade.xyz edged past crypto futures on Hyperliquid in July. The headline numbers were $107.6 billion of RWA-contract volume against $105.7 billion of crypto-contract volume.That was a selected-venue crossover, not an industry-wide change in market leadership. The underlying report treats trade.xyz and Hyperliquid as category-leading onchain venues. Broader datasets confirm that RWA perpetuals are growing quickly, but they do not show a comparable takeover of crypto derivatives as a whole.RWA futures crossed crypto inside the report’s sampleThe report tracked July 1 through July 30 and found that RWA…
