    CryptoSlate - 18:24 Jan 04, 2026
    Washington is about to take a serious swing at crypto’s most stubborn problem: who, exactly, is supposed to police the market when a token trades like a commodity, is sold like a security, and moves through software that insists it isn’t a company at all. The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 (better known […] The post Washington’s new crypto bill would strip states of power – legally bans oversight that catches front-end manipulation appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • European crypto trading volume is soaring, but a hidden “venue gap” is silently killing your execution price
    CryptoSlate - 09:00 Jan 04, 2026
    The euro finally has a substantial stablecoin market, and for once, it's not just a niche corner of DeFi. When MiCA’s stablecoin rules kicked in June 2024, they turned euro-pegged stablecoins into a regulated product category with paperwork, reserve rules, and an actual licensing lane. Under MiCA, stablecoins that reference a single fiat currency sit […] The post European crypto trading volume is soaring, but a hidden “venue gap” is silently killing your execution price appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Bitcoin faces a violent repricing Monday if this specific supply-chain metric proves the bond market right
    CryptoSlate - 21:55 Jan 03, 2026
    Bitcoin has a talent for looking calm right up until it isn’t. In the first trading days of 2026, the tape has had that familiar, coiled feel: enough headline noise to keep traders alert, not enough conviction to force a real move. When crypto behaves like that, the next decisive push often doesn’t come from […] The post Bitcoin faces a violent repricing Monday if this specific supply-chain metric proves the bond market right appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    If 2024 was the year crypto reentered the mainstream through TV tickers and glossy ETF commercials, then 2025 was the year the market learned to live with that attention. It absorbed it, metabolized it, and let it shape how liquidity moved day to day. Some stories were loud and obvious.

  • Why “good news” hasn’t been moving Bitcoin recently: Macro without the boom
    CryptoSlate - 21:45 Jan 02, 2026
    Bitcoin traded in the $80,000s on Dec. 31 just as U.S. inflation cooled and investors priced Federal Reserve rate cuts. The lack of follow-through has left traders leaning less on macro headlines and more on a mix of real yields, money-market plumbing, and spot ETF flows. That shift is keeping price action pinned to defined […] The post Why “good news” hasn’t been moving Bitcoin recently: Macro without the boom appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted about $1.29 billion in net outflows over the 12 sessions from Dec. 15 through Dec. 31. The quiet holiday stretch became one of the cleaner stress tests yet for how “sticky” the category is when trading desks are thinly staffed, and portfolios are being squared before the calendar flips.

    If you followed Bitcoin ETFs day to day in 2025, you probably developed the same habit everyone did: you checked the print at night, read one sentence about “risk-on” or “risk-off,” then tried to map a clean story onto a messy market. The problem is that daily flows are noisy by design.
