Stablecoins and the Base network sit at the core of its plans through 2026. The strategy places Coinbase closer to retail brokerages and derivatives platforms. Security and support concerns remain a constraint as the platform broadens. Coinbase is entering 2026 with a platform that looks increasingly different from a traditional crypto exchange. The company is placing greater emphasis on stablecoins, its Ethereum layer-2 network Base, and a wider range of trading products that stretch well beyond digital tokens. The shift reflects how crypto platforms are adapting as growth in spot trading cools and competition intensifies. Rather than positioning itself only…
More than $107,000 in total losses have already been identified through on-chain analysis. No specific wallet provider or exploit vector has yet been confirmed by investigators. Attackers are siphoning small amounts under $2,000 per wallet, delaying detection and spreading risk widely. A new on-chain alert has drawn attention to a discreet but wide-reaching crypto theft campaign affecting hundreds of users across EVM-compatible blockchains. The warning, shared by blockchain investigator ZachXBT, points to a coordinated wallet-draining operation that has already resulted in more than $107,000 in cumulative losses. What sets this incident apart is not the size of individual thefts, but…
Guest Contributor Shane Neagle Editor In Chief • The Tokenist Between the end of 2025 and up to July 2026, the European Union’s MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulation will go into full effect. Specifically, crypto exchanges, self-custody wallet providers, custodians, asset transfer providers, stablecoin issuers and portfolio managers will have to obtain formal authorization to continue operating.Notably, out of the 27 EU member states, only Poland is delaying the national implementation of this strict crypto framework. Polish President Karol Nawrocki vetoed the MiCA-compliant bill this month because it would “threaten the freedoms of Poles, their property and the stability of…
Vitalik Buterin warned that Ethereum must shift focus from chasing market trends like memecoins to fulfilling its original vision as a decentralised “world computer.” He celebrated 2025 technical gains but argued the network must now pass a “walkaway test” where apps keep running even if their creators disappear. To achieve global scale, Buterin called for a simultaneous push for usability and true decentralisation at both the blockchain infrastructure and application layers in 2026. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said Ethereum’s (ETH) biggest challenge is no longer just shipping upgrades but proving it can deliver on its original goal: a global platform…

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…

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…
