Make CryptoSlate preferred on Kevin Warsh is set to become the first Federal Reserve chair with disclosed crypto holdings, and the first whose policy instincts could still squeeze the sector harder than his predecessors.Most Americans don’t follow Fed personnel drama closely, but they feel its aftershocks every month through mortgage rates, savings yields, and the temperature of equity markets.Bitcoin feels those same currents even more acutely than most traded assets, which is why the question of who leads the central bank matters to crypto long before that person says a word about digital assets. When Warsh’s odds of becoming Fed…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Quantum computing has long served as Bitcoin’s most cinematic threat. It has the right ingredients for a high-drama warning, strange machines, broken cryptography, and the possibility of a future rewrite of digital trust.Yet the greater danger facing Bitcoin today looks far more ordinary and far more commercial. It is artificial intelligence, and the pressure point is electricity.That pressure is already visible. As of today, Bitcoin is trading at $77,845 on CryptoSlate, up 5% over 24 hours, 6.7% over seven days, and 9.2% over 30 days.Price has recovered over the past month, but the mining side of…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on The Financial Stability Board (FSB) is warning that global markets could be heading toward a chain reaction in which tighter funding, war-driven volatility, and deepening cracks in non-bank finance converge into what its chair calls a possible “double or triple whammy” for financial stability.In a letter sent ahead of the April 16 G20 meeting, FSB Chair Andrew Bailey laid out a scenario in which several fragile parts of the financial system crack at the same time rather than one by one.Bailey, who also serves as governor of the Bank of England, said the Middle East conflict…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Bitcoin rallied hard after Iran said it was reopening the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping.Bitcoin hit the highest level since February, oil prices dropped, Wall Street notched another record, and the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield slipped to 4.24%. But here’s the catch: markets acted as if the reopening had solved the core standoff between Washington and Tehran.Look closer, though, and the story gets more complicated. The opening is only temporary, the blockade is still in place, mine-clearing operations are ongoing, and there’s plenty of confusion about what Iran has actually agreed to.Bitcoin, oil and SPY…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Crypto rhetoric has long prized the ability to transact without gatekeepers, to move value across borders without asking permission, and to hold assets no institution could seize.Crypto culture treated these as design virtues, properties that builders embedded with ethical weight by deliberate architectural choice. Then the Drift exploit happened, and the backlash told a different story.On Apr. 1, Drift suffered a major exploit. Circle later described the publicly reported losses as exceeding $270 million, while other reports put the figure around $285 million and documented criticism that Circle had not frozen stolen USDC as it moved…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Artificial intelligence and crypto-native tools are quickly shaping a future where software agents can fund themselves, run cross-chain strategies, and move through financial markets with no one at the controls.According to a recent report by DWF Ventures, automated and agentic activity now accounts for an estimated 19% of all on-chain transactions, with 17,000 agents launched since 2025.The report added that the agent economy is already here.For now, most of this machine-driven money movement happens through bots shuffling stablecoins across a patchwork of payment systems that still lean on centralized gateways, managed issuers, and card-linked rails.Crypto is…

Make CryptoSlate preferred on Stablecoin supply climbed to a record $320 billion this week, extending the continued surge in dollar-linked digital assets.This comes as one of the biggest questions hanging over the sector remains unresolved in Washington: whether the income generated by the reserves backing those tokens should stay with issuers or be shared with users.Nonetheless, the new peak underlines how far stablecoins have moved from their original role as trading tools inside crypto markets.Over the past year, dollar-pegged tokens have been increasingly used for payments, payroll, savings, and cross-border transfers, broadening their place in the financial system as lawmakers…
