    The following is a guest post and opinion from Artemiy Parshakov, VP of Institutions at P2P.org.

  • Bitcoin is trapped on a “liquidation treadmill” where risky positions are being systematically hunted
    CryptoSlate - 12:01 Jan 24, 2026
    Bitcoin’s recent price action had a familiar signature: leverage built on the bounce, funding turned supportive for longs, then the market ran the nearest pockets of fragility until forced selling took over. BTC bouncing up and down in the $80,000 range is a result of futures positioning. Data showed roughly $794 million in Bitcoin long […] The post Bitcoin is trapped on a “liquidation treadmill” where risky positions are being systematically hunted appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • The dollar stays king until 2046 crushing Bitcoin dreams with $13 trillion of IMF data
    CryptoSlate - 18:15 Jan 23, 2026
    Bitcoin’s earliest realistic path to becoming the world’s global reserve currency (defined here as reserve-currency primacy rather than limited reserve-asset adoption) sits around the mid-2040s under a scenario model that treats official mandates, collateral usage, and invoicing conventions as binding constraints. That timeline starts from a reserve system where total global foreign-exchange reserves reached $12.94 […] The post The dollar stays king until 2046 crushing Bitcoin dreams with $13 trillion of IMF data appeared first on CryptoSlate.
