On Jan. 30, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson announced that he has signed an integration agreement to bring USDCx, a Circle-linked stablecoin product, to the Cardano ecosystem.The infrastructure move represents a strategic effort to lower the network’s DeFi growth ceiling by establishing a sustained, reliable flow of on-chain dollar liquidity.In a social media post from Japan, Hoskinson characterized the deal as a milestone for the network, which has historically trailed behind rival smart-contract platforms in accessing high-liquidity stablecoins.He said:“We 1769807073 have access to Circle’s network, Circle’s protocol, Circle’s technology, and the great liquidity of the Circle network as a whole, and…

A single wallet roundtripped $142.5 million in unrealized profit on Hyperliquid, peaking on Jan. 13 before collapsing to a negative $8.76 million loss as of Jan. 29.Meanwhile, all of this was visible in real time through public dashboards. The trader built a reputation during October 2025’s historic liquidation wave and now operates under a microscope, where every entry, exit, and margin adjustment is broadcast to spectators, copycats, and adversaries.The $151 million swing represents both the promise and peril of transparent leverage: visibility improves market monitoring, but it also turns big positions into coordination targets and makes the distance between triumph…
On Jan. 29, the Senate Agriculture Committee advanced the crypto market-structure bill, giving the legislation known as the “CLARITY Act” its first concrete win in the Senate.The Agriculture panel’s action moves the bill closer to a full Senate fight over which regulator sets the rules for spot crypto markets.However, the bigger near-term problem is that lawmakers are struggling to resolve an escalating fight over stablecoin “interest” and rewards.This impasse has already led to gridlock in the banking committee, prompting the White House to intervene.

Ethereum’s most infamous experiment is back. Not as a venture fund, but as something the ecosystem arguably needs more: a permanent security budget.On Jan. 29, a group of Ethereum veterans announced plans to convert roughly 75,000 ETH in decade-old recovery funds into a staked endowment whose yield will finance smart contract security work across Ethereum and its layer-2 ecosystem.The capital comes from “edge case” funds left over from the 2016 hard fork that rescued TheDAO from collapse. Those are funds thatwere always intended, if unclaimed, to support security infrastructure.A decade later, the tooling and threat landscape have matured enough to…
Bitcoin’s Thursday slide was a perfect illustration of a market that lost its marginal buyer and then discovered, in real time, how much leverage was sitting on top of that demand.The move wasn’t a smooth ride lower; it came in sharp legs that pushed the price from $84,400 toward the low-$81,000s in a matter of minutes, with brief rebounds that failed to repair the damage.Graph showing Bitcoin’s price on Jan. 30, 2026 (Source: CryptoSlate BTC)The drawdown caused a massive liquidation wave that reached roughly $1.7 billion, a scale of forced unwinds that tends to appear when positioning has become one-sided…
Bit Digital is exiting Bitcoin mining to focus entirely on Ethereum staking and AI infrastructure. The company is now an “Ethereum treasury” firm, holding 155,227 ETH as of late 2025, with nearly 90% of those assets actively staked for yield. AI compute via WhiteFiber is the primary growth driver, generating nearly 60% of total revenue as of late 2025. Bit Digital (Nasdaq: BTBT) said it plans to fully wind down its Bitcoin mining business, extending a shift it has been making toward an Ethereum-focused treasury model and AI-related infrastructure. In a letter to shareholders on Thursday, chief executive Sam Tabar…
This is a familiar story for those who have been in crypto for a while. Bitcoin crashes, rebounds, and a few altcoins follow after. Yet, that small- or medium-cap crypto with promising fundamentals never followed through.The question investors won’t say aloud: Why did my token never catch the recovery bid?The answer has less to do with the coin’s fundamentals and more to do with how crypto’s microstructure has fundamentally reshaped itself.The “investable altcoin market” has contracted into a top-heavy pyramid in which new liquidity doesn’t rotate down the capitalization curve. Instead, it concentrates in majors and occasionally in ETF-credible large…
Solana’s active validator count has plummeted 68%, dropping from over 2,500 in 2023 to roughly 795 in early 2026. Smaller operators are being priced out by intense competition from zero-fee institutional validators and annual voting costs that now exceed $49,000. Network decentralisation is weakening, as evidenced by the Nakamoto Coefficient falling from 31 to 20, signaling that control is concentrating among fewer large-scale entities. Solana’s validator network is shrinking fast due to economic reasons. According to data from Solana Compass, the number of active validators has fallen from about 2,560 in early 2023 to roughly 795 today, a 68% drop.…
