In “risk-off” events, Bitcoin often behaves like a…

Fidelity research indicates 2025 was a year of behind-the-scenes institutional groundwork, rather than price excitement, setting the stage for broader financial integration. Major banks signalled serious intent to build digital asset capabilities throughout 2025 – such structural commitments tend to be decisive once made. Mainstream discourse has shifted markedly, with “Bitcoin is dead” narratives largely disappearing as crypto is increasingly recognised as a permanent asset class that will remain regardless of price volatility. Wealth managers and registered investment advisors face easing barriers to recommending crypto to clients, potentially unlocking substantial capital inflows and introducing more stable, institutionally-driven demand patterns. Digital…
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong publicly sparred with crypto reporter Eleanor Terrett this week after she questioned the exchange’s stance on crypto regulation, prompting an exchange that quickly spilled onto social media and reignited tensions between industry leaders and the broader community.Senate Banking postponed its planned Jan. 15 markup of the CLARITY Act, leaving timing for Senate action on H.R. 3633 dependent on continued negotiations over language that could shape whether stablecoin rewards are treated as deposit-like yield.The committee’s executive session listing for Jan. 15 is labeled “POSTPONED” and “Status: POSTPONED” on the panel’s schedule page. No replacement date was posted…
Uniswap’s launch on X Layer provides OKX users direct access to thousands of tokens and deep liquidity pools through the OKX Wallet, eliminating the need to navigate multiple platforms or networks. X Layer’s Layer-2 architecture delivers faster transaction settlement and significantly lower costs than Ethereum mainnet, while waived interface fees on Uniswap further reduce participation costs for traders. The integration blurs centralised and decentralised finance boundaries by allowing users to transfer assets directly from OKX’s exchange into X Layer without complex bridges or wallet management. OKX’s consolidation strategy aims to attract developers and users to X Layer by concentrating liquidity,…
Solana Labs CEO, Anatoly Yakovenko, said in an X post yesterday that Solana must continue to update the protocol indefinitely in order to ensure it remains in use and relevant to developers and users. Anatoly’s post was in response to Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin’s post last week in which he said Ethereum must pass the “walkaway test,” meaning the network must essentially become self-sustaining, requiring minimal developer updates for decades on end. Anatoly Yakovenko, the CEO of Solana Labs, the company responsible for the development and maintenance of the Solana blockchain, said yesterday in an X post that Solana needs…
After Bitcoin, decentralized finance (DeFi) is the most significant innovation that came out of the blockchain paradigm. DeFi’s rapid growth mirrors its ambitious goal of recreating finance, having gone from under $1 billion total value locked (TVL) in early 2020 to $174 billion by late 2021. As FTX and other crypto bankruptcies cooled down DeFi enthusiasm from 2022 to 2025, another phenomenon was steadily rising – Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenisation. From barely noticeable ~$200 million TVL in H2 2022, RWA’s footprint enlarged to $19.4 billion by January 2026. Let’s examine what RWA tokenisation actually means and from where does it…
Crypto’s future growth is shifting from political reliance on the Trump administration toward institutional market structures and Bitcoin’s emergence as a gold-like reserve asset. Institutional entry is raising the performance bar for the industry, requiring altcoins to provide genuine utility rather than relying on speculation or political hype. Blockchains are becoming the essential trust layer for autonomous AI systems, while “gamified finance” features are aligning crypto with the cultural preferences of younger users. Animoca Brands chair Yat Siu said crypto’s next leg will be driven less by US politics and more by market structure, as institutional investors reshape how capital…
Trove Markets is shifting its collectibles exchange to Solana after losing access to Hyperliquid due to a liquidity partner withdrawing a required 500,000 HYPE stake. The sudden pivot follows an $11.5 million token sale and has resulted in the delay of the project’s Token Generation Event (TGE) and a revised roadmap. The project faces scrutiny over a volatile rollout and allegations from investigator ZachXBT regarding the movement of fundraising tokens to prediction market platforms. Trove Markets is rebuilding its planned collectibles perpetuals exchange on Solana after losing the arrangement that would have let it launch on Hyperliquid. Notice the reversal…
Vitalik Buterin framed 2026 as the year Ethereum reverses a decade of convenience-first compromises. His thesis: the protocol stayed trustless, but the defaults drifted. Wallets outsourced verification to centralized RPCs.Decentralized applications became server-dependent behemoths that leak user data to dozens of endpoints. Block building is concentrated in the hands of a few sophisticated actors. The base layer held, but the experience became something else entirely.The response is a concrete menu of infrastructure fixes designed to make the trust-minimized path the easy path.Verified RPC clients that turn untrusted providers into locally verifiable endpoints. Private information retrieval to hide what users query…
