Coinbase began offering US perpetual-style futures on its CFTC-regulated derivatives exchange, starting with nano Bitcoin and Ethereum contracts that track spot prices, carry embedded leverage, and trade around the clock.This is a financial product that’s responsible for most of the crypto leverage in the world, and it’s now crossed into the US market. Aside from bringing another way to bet on Bitcoin, it’s also bringing the entire machinery that essentially set offshore price discovery for years.The US market is now importing funding payments, continuous leverage, and automatic liquidations across several exchanges, each one built to different specifications.Advertise with CryptoSlatePerpetual futures…

Alpaca says it custodies more than $1.5 billion of shares backing tokenized equities, which, by public tracker measurements, would represent most of the market.With DTCC preparing to launch its own tokenization service in October and the SEC warning that third-party stock tokens can expose investors to additional ownership and intermediary risks, the numbers reveal a concentrated brokerage layer beneath a market promoted as decentralized.Tokenization is the practice of representing a real-world asset as a digital token on a blockchain, so that owning the token stands in for owning, or at least tracking, the thing itself. Applied to equities, it means…

Chainlink drew more than $7 billion of token value onto its cross-chain infrastructure in the second quarter as institutional adoption accelerated, according to its second-quarter review.The migration came as crypto projects replaced older bridging systems and traditional-finance firms moved deeper into tokenized markets, expanding Chainlink’s role across both sides of the digital-asset economy.Chainlink said its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) handled $4.9 billion in quarterly volume, up 353% from a year earlier, while the network’s total value secured reached $110 billion.Advertise with CryptoSlateThe growth is also sharpening a longstanding question for investors: whether wider use of Chainlink’s infrastructure can translate into…

Bitcoin could lower mining difficulty by roughly 16% when its next adjustment arrives around July 26, handing the machines that remain online a considerably larger expected share of the network’s rewards while doing almost nothing to resolve the expensive power contracts, debt obligations and strategic pressures pushing some of the industry’s largest companies away from mining.The network already lowered difficulty by 5% at block 957,600 on July 11, bringing it to 127.17 trillion. Hashrate Index reported that hashprice, the daily revenue miners expect from one petahash per second of computing power, stood at $30.88 per PH/s/day on July 13, with…

Two Wall Street trading desks can hold economically similar exposure to Bitcoin and still pay materially different amounts to keep that exposure open. That’s not because one desk made a better market call, but because the regulated products carrying the positions are inside collateral systems that don’t always recognize them as parts of the same hedge.One desk can reconstruct a forward Bitcoin position from matching calls and puts on BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), while another can obtain comparable price exposure through a cash-settled CME Bitcoin futures contract with a similar maturity.While the economic risk is closely related, the financing…

Some crypto investors raised an eyebrow this week when Samsung, in its official Galaxy Unpacked recap, said updates to Wallet “will also support stablecoins” and described the plan as native stablecoin capability on a smartphone.Samsung’s stablecoin roadmap opens a contest over which issuer and network could get the shortest path into Samsung Wallet.Samsung offered no product specification beyond that sentence.No issuer or token, blockchain, custody and redemption model, eligible markets, functions, or launch date are confirmed. Samsung introduced no new dedicated crypto wallet at Unpacked. Also, the Wallet product and some crypto connections already existed.So why are people getting so…

The European Union has sanctioned HTX, widening a Russia crackdown that has already affected counterparties beyond the exchange.The bloc placed Huobi Global S.A., the entity behind HTX, under a transaction ban in its 21st sanctions package adopted July 23. From Aug. 23, EU operators will be prohibited from transacting with the exchange, though the restrictions stop short of freezing its assets.The move follows Britain’s May action against Huobi Global, which triggered tighter scrutiny of HTX-related transfers at other major crypto exchanges.The EU is now taking that pressure further, introducing a mechanism that could eventually restrict crypto services across entire countries…

President Donald Trump joked about seeking a fourth term as millions of dollars in his namesake meme coin moved toward exchanges.Trump used the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner to revive one of his longest-running political provocations, pulling out a red “Trump 2028” hat and declaring that he intended to run again.He joked:“I’m pleased to announce my intention to, and this is somewhat of a scoop, my intention to run for a fourth term as president of the United States. I won three times. Now I’m going to do it again.”Trump has repeatedly claimed he won the 2020 election, which he…
