Chainalysis recorded $154 billion in illicit inflows, driven largely by sanctioned entities. Russia’s ruble-backed A7A5 token processed over $93.3 billion in transactions within a year.

A new report from Chainalysis shows…

Nobody gets special treatment.That design is a feature. It is what makes Bitcoin feel like bedrock.It is also why every bull market ends up replaying the same argument. Block space gets tight, fees jump, users complain, and builders promise solutions that live somewhere above the base layer.This week, Vitalik Buterin showed up with a very different claim about Ethereum’s future, one that lands directly on Bitcoin’s turf.In a post on X, he argued…
The first thing you learn when you spend too long around Bitcoin is that everyone has a chart that “always works”, and everyone has a scar from the last time it didn’t.This week’s chart is making the rounds again, it’s the one that tracks Bitfinex margin longs, and it’s flashing a familiar change in body language. After climbing to a fresh peak, the longs line is starting to tip over, the kind of subtle rollover that looks boring until you remember how much money sits behind it.The social version of the story writes itself, whales are closing longs, Bitcoin rallied…

Fresh inflows into spot ETFs, a drastic reduction in systemic leverage, improved order book liquidity, and a rotation in options sentiment all point to a stabilizing market.While traders remain cautious, these metrics indicate the ecosystem is significantly less fragile than it was weeks ago, clearing the path for a potential bounce.Cautious re-risking via ETFsThe first and perhaps most visible…

The XRP market has opened 2026 by splitting into two distinct realities.On one side, the institutional “wrapper” trade is thriving, supported by shrinking exchange supply and deepening corporate infrastructure. On the other hand, the underlying on-chain economy is flashing warning signs, with activity metrics fading even as Wall Street deepens its footprint.This divergence has created a complex investment landscape where financial demand for XRP is decoupling from the utility of the XRP Ledger (XRPL).While the asset itself enjoys a favorable supply setup and regulatory clarity, the network that supports it is struggling to retain liquidity and users.This has resulted in…
