Tokenized US Treasuries crossed $10 billion in total value this week, a milestone that confirms the category has moved from proof-of-concept to operational infrastructure.Yet, something happening underneath this achievement is just as important: Circle’s USYC has edged past BlackRock’s BUIDL as the largest tokenized Treasury product, signaling that distribution rails and collateral mechanics now matter more than brand recognition in determining which on-chain cash equivalents win.As of Jan. 22, USYC holds $1.69 billion in assets under management compared to BUIDL’s $1.684 billion, a gap of roughly $6.14 million, or 0.36%.Over the past 30 days, USYC’s assets grew 11% while BUIDL’s…
The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, better known as the CLARITY Act, was supposed to draw clean lines around crypto assets and which regulator gets the first call.CryptoSlate has already walked readers through the bill’s larger architecture ahead of the January markup, including what changed, what stayed unresolved, and why jurisdiction and state preemption may matter as much as the headline definitions.The part consuming the most oxygen right now is narrower and much more nuanced: it’s about who can pay consumers to keep dollars parked in a particular place.

When Solana maintainers told validators to move quickly on Agave v3.0.14, the message arrived with more urgency than detail.The Solana Status account called the release “urgent” and said it contained a “critical set of patches” for Mainnet Beta validators.Within a day, the public conversation drifted toward a harder question: if a proof-of-stake network needs a fast coordinated upgrade, what happens when the operators do not move together?That gap showed up in early adoption snapshots. On Jan. 11, one widely circulated account said only 18% of stake had migrated to v3.0.14 at the time, leaving much of the network’s economic weight…
Institutions have learned to live with Bitcoin’s volatility because volatility is measurable and, for many strategies, manageable. What still holds back large allocations is the risk of moving the market while getting in or out.A fund can hedge price swings with options or futures, but it can’t hedge the cost of pushing through a thin order book, widening spreads, and turning a rebalance into visible slippage.That’s why liquidity matters more than most headlines admit. Liquidity isn’t the same thing as volume, and it’s much more than just a general feeling that the market is “healthy.”Put into as few words as…
Makina Finance lost 1,299 ETH, roughly $4.13 million, in a flash-loan and oracle manipulation exploit.The attacker drained the protocol’s funds and broadcast the transaction to Ethereum’s public mempool, where it should have been picked up by validators and included in the next block.Instead, an MEV builder identified by the address 0xa6c2 front-ran the draining transaction, redirecting most of the funds into builder-controlled custody before the hacker could move them off-chain.The hacker’s transaction failed. The funds landed in two addresses associated with the MEV builder.The immediate takeaway is that Makina’s users avoided a total loss. The deeper signal is who ended…
Senate Agriculture Committee Chair John Boozman on Jan. 21 released updated text for a crypto market structure bill and set a committee markup for Jan. 27.The draft bill, titled the “Digital Commodity Intermediaries Act,” would give the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) a defined framework to supervise parts of the spot crypto market when activity runs through brokers, dealers, exchanges and custodians.The bill is the AC’s attempt to formalize what happens when something goes wrong. Crypto’s biggest retail pain points often show up as operational failures: account freezes, delayed withdrawals, outages during volatility, unclear complaint paths, and disputes over how…
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released its delayed Personal Income and Outlays report on Jan. 22, publishing October and November PCE inflation together.The print put headline PCE at 0.2% month over month in both months, with headline PCE at 2.7% year over year in October and 2.8% in November.

The following is a guest post and opinion from Artemiy Parshakov, VP of Institutions at P2P.org.How the Institutional View of Self-Custody Is ChangingFor years, institutional participants largely equated self-custody with retail risk. Managing private keys, interacting directly with protocols, and relying on personal hardware were viewed as practices better suited to individual users than regulated organizations with fiduciary responsibilities.That perception is evolving.Secure hardware, non-custodial delegation mechanisms, and professional validator operations are converging into participation models that preserve institutional control while supporting performance, reliability, and scale. Self-custody is increasingly evaluated not as a fringe preference but as a serious architectural option…
Crypto’s IPO market is back, but the companies leading the charge aren’t the ones most exposed to token volatility.BitGo priced its initial public offering on Jan. 21 at $18 per share, raising $212.8 million and valuing the custody platform at $2.08 billion. Shares opened the next day at $22.43, a 24.6% jump that pushed the implied valuation to $2.59 billion.Within 24 hours, two more security-focused companies signaled public market ambitions.Ledger, the hardware wallet maker, is reportedly preparing a New York listing targeting a valuation above $4 billion, with Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, and Barclays leading the process, according to the Financial…
