Bitcoin declined below $88,000 during thin weekend trading, triggering approximately $224 million in leveraged position liquidations across derivatives markets. U.S. political uncertainty has intensified, with Senate Democrats potentially blocking spending packages over Department of Homeland Security provisions, pushing shutdown probability to 78% by month’s end. Bitcoin behaved as a high-beta risk asset rather than a defensive hedge, falling alongside broader crypto de-risking while traditional safe havens like gold and silver surged to record highs. Geopolitical tensions – including U.S. tariff threats against Canada and yen strength  – compounded market volatility, demonstrating Bitcoin’s tight integration with global liquidity cycles rather than…

AFP Protección, a major Colombian pension manager, is planning to let some clients invest a small slice of their retirement portfolio in Bitcoin (BTC). According to a report by Valora Analitik, Protección, which is currently the country’s second-largest…

Wall Street’s next leap may look boring from the outside, but it’s a huge development that’s shrouded in corporate speak: T+0 settlement, shorthand for settling a trade the same day it happens.Deloitte’s 2026 outlook flags it as one of the main themes of the year, alongside signals that regulators want to streamline rules, encourage experimentation, and open paths for blockchain-based products. The report’s message is blunt: if faster settlement arrives, companies should evaluate what it enables, including T+0 products “such as tokenized securities and stablecoins.”A tokenized security is a familiar asset, like a bond or stock, represented in a digital…

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that a top-tier bank executive now views crypto as an “existential” priority to avoid being bypassed by tokenised payments.

Michael Saylor claimed the biggest threat to Bitcoin is “ambitious opportunists” seeking protocol changes, arguing that altering base rules is riskier than technical bugs. Critics like Mert Mumtaz slammed this stance as a “cancerous” mindset, asserting that software must evolve to fix vulnerabilities and remain functional.

Strategy founder and chairman Michael Saylor said the biggest threat to Bitcoin (BTC) is “ambitious opportunists” trying to “push protocol changes”, basically arguing that people who want to alter the base rules…

Entropy is shutting down after four years and returning capital to investors because its latest product, a crypto automation platform, failed to meet venture scaling expectations.

Founder Tux Pacific is stepping away from the crypto industry to potentially explore pharmaceutical research following a significant 60% decline in crypto venture deals during 2025.

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…
