A crypto trader, Vida, realized more than $1.5 million in gains after spotting an anomalous wall of buy orders on Binance for the little-known token BROCCOLI714 on New Year’s Day.Vida, who shared detailed logs of the trade on social media platform X, said they initially treated the move as a likely hacked account or market-making bug.Due to this, he revealed that he traded around the anomaly in two phases, first by exiting a large spot and futures exposure into the pump and later by shorting the token.Binance has not publicly commented on the incident and has yet to respond to CryptoSlate’s…

The Flow Foundation has entered “phase two” of its recovery following a $3.9 million exploit on Saturday, December 27, 2025. Developers scrapped an initial plan to roll back the blockchain due to community concerns over decentralisation, opting instead for a “two-stage” recovery. Flow accused an unnamed exchange of AML/KYC failures after a single account deposited the stolen 150 million FLOW, swapped it for BTC, and withdrew over $5 million shortly before the network was halted. Flow is rebuilding its network after a US$3.9 million (AU$5.9 million) exploit on Saturday, and says it is investigating suspicious exchange activity tied to a…

Total crypto losses from hacks and exploits fell 60% in December to $76 million, a sharp decline from the $194.2 million recorded in November across 26 major incidents. The month’s largest theft involved a $50 million “address poisoning” scam where a victim accidentally sent funds to a lookalike wallet. Trust Wallet committed to fully reimbursing users following a $7 million Christmas Eve exploit caused by a malicious code update to its Chrome browser extension. Crypto theft and exploit losses totaled about US$76 million (AU$116.2 million) in December, down 60% from US$194.2 million (AU$297.1 million) in November, according to blockchain security…

A federal judge in Florida dismissed a class-action lawsuit against Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks that accused them of misleading investors by promoting Voyager Digital. The ruling dismissed all allegations of securities law violations and consumer fraud “in its entirety,” leaving the plaintiffs with no path to refile the case in that court. The legal action stemmed from Voyager’s 2022 bankruptcy following a broader crypto market crash triggered by the collapse of the Terra blockchain. A proposed class action accusing Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks of misleading investors by promoting crypto lender Voyager Digital has been thrown out…

Bitwise’s year-end barrage of ETF paperwork should have been a perfect spark for “alt season.” On Dec. 30, the issuer filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to launch 11 single-token “strategy” ETFs tied to Aave, Uniswap, Zcash, NEAR, Starknet, Sui, Bittensor, Tron, and other protocols.Each fund would allocate about 60% of its assets to the underlying coin and the rest to related ETPs and derivatives, with an expected effective date in March 2026.However, crypto prices and flows barely registered the news. That gap is where a market is now showing ETF filing fatigue.The 11 new Bitwise products land…

At the start of 2025, crypto’s biggest names issued bold forecasts: Bitcoin to $200,000, Ethereum to $7,000, a US strategic reserve, and stablecoins going mainstream.Twelve months later, the scoreboard reveals a pattern. The price targets mostly crashed and burned, while the structural calls on regulation, ETFs, and payments infrastructure quietly came true.Here’s who nailed it, who missed the mark, and what the gap between hype and reality says about how this market actually works.Bitcoin $200,000, Ethereum $7,000, Solana $750Bitwise’s December 2024 outlook opened with blockbuster numbers: Bitcoin to $200,000, Ethereum to $7,000, Solana to $750, all riding ETF-driven adoption and…

On the last trading days of the year, the kind of chart that almost nobody outside finance ever looks at started yelling again.Banks piled into the Fed’s Standing Repo Facility, borrowing a record $74.6 billion on Dec. 31 for 2025.

2025 delivered at least four distinct “crypto is dead” episodes: a January AI-induced flash crash, the October tariff liquidation that erased $19 billion in leveraged positions, months of altcoin carnage, and a fourth quarter slump that wiped out the year’s price gains.Mainstream outlets dusted off “crypto winter” language each time. Bitcoin logged more obituaries by mid-year than in all of 2024, bringing the all-time tally past 470 since 2010.Yet, beneath the violent drawdowns and Twitter eulogies, the infrastructure kept building.Stablecoin legislation passed. Spot ETFs pulled in tens of billions. Major jurisdictions published actual rulebooks rather than issuing enforcement threats.The result…

Glassnode data shows that XRP’s exchange balances hit their lowest level since 2018 in late December, sparking the usual wave of accumulation phase speculation and “tight supply = moon” commentary.While the eight-year low encompasses the entire exchange ecosystem, CryptoQuant data for Binance offers a recent window into whether these troughs actually precede rallies.Binance’s XRP reserves dropped to roughly 2.6 billion by mid-December 2025, matching the July 2024 low, after peaking above 3.5 billion in early September.The question isn’t whether supply thinned, but whether prior episodes of similarly low Binance reserves preceded medium-term outperformance, or whether the pattern is just noise…

If you followed Bitcoin ETFs day to day in 2025, you probably developed the same habit everyone did: you checked the print at night, read one sentence about “risk-on” or “risk-off,” then tried to map a clean story onto a messy market.The problem is that daily flows are noisy by design. They’re the residue of dozens of different motives that just happen to share the same wrapper: financial advisers rebalancing model portfolios, hedge funds adjusting basis trades, wealth platforms handling subscriptions and redemptions, and long-only allocators adding or trimming exposure because their investment committee finally met.Sometimes the ETF tape tracks…
